Introduction Gut health is intrinsically linked with animal health, which in turn dictates cost efficient production. Animal health and productivity are intrinsically linked, as are gut health and animal health. In many diseases, diet is implicated as a contributing factor by having direct effects on host metabolism, immune responses, and microbiome composition, subsequently altering disease susceptibility (Plaizier et al. 2018). Gut health is defined...

Introduction The knowledge of living conditions are needed to give farmers the information they need to evaluate management practices and determine which technological system provides the high level of a farm animal welfare as a prerequisite for health of animals. The high level of the environmental hygiene in stables and biosecurity on the farm is the first step to the health of the animal and the background for the high level of productivity. Good management...

1. Introduction Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD), also called as Aptho fever, is highly contagious, acute, viral disease of cloven-hoofed animals. It is economically important viral disease in farm animals like cattle, buffalo, goat, sheep and pigs [1]. Wild ruminants like deer and antelope are also susceptible to this disease [2]. It has high morbidity but low mortality. Mortality is mostly seen in young animals. FMD is characterized by blister formation and erosion in and around...

Heat stress will cost the global dairy sector an estimated $5 billion a year in 2050 (Wankar et al., 2021).To reduce the costs for both the farmer and animal, a more integrated approach regarding production, health and welfare is needed. The key lies in prediction...

Summer heat stress has been considered in these days as one of the greatest causes for losses in the world dairy sector. Italian Breeders Association (A.I.A.), adopted the Summer to Winter ratio (S:W) index, a heat stress assessment tool based on the ratio between summer (July – September) and winter (January – March) farm performances. S:W ratio has been developed in Israel and adopted recently in Italy and other countries, as a tool for detecting performance pitfalls in summer...

Introduction The nutritional management of young dairy calves can have both short- and long-term effects, from influencing morbidity and mortality rates (Urie et al., 2018a) to reproductive efficiency and first-lactation milk yield (Faber et al., 2005; Soberon et al., 2012; Gelsinger et al., 2015). Although major improvements in calf nutritional strategies have been made over the past decade, dairy calves continue to suffer from the highest rates of...

Background Providing adequate amounts of essential minerals is critical to maintain health and maximize productivity of dairy cows (NRC, 2001). Organic minerals can be described as nutritionally essential minerals attached to a carbon–hydrogen based molecule which acts as a ligand. Ligands that are used most frequently include amino acids, peptides and proteins. In particular, complexes where a mineral is bonded to amino acids with at least two bonds from each amino acid...

Adult lactating cows receive more attention when it comes to the negative effects of heat stress, as compared to heifers. This is because lactating cows need to dissipate more heat, running out of milk production and feed consumption and digestion to support it. The losses, caused by exposing adult cows to heat stress conditions include drop in milk production and composition, fertility, health and cow's performance in the subsequent lactation, when exposed to heat stress conditions in...

Introduction Although several species of parasites are harbored in the gastro intestinal tract of animals only few species are clinically and economically important. Clinically important parasites of farm animals prevalent in tropical conditions like Chitwan are Paramphistomum Spp., Fasciola Spp., Toxocara Spp., Monoeiza Spp., Ascaris Spp., Taenia Spp., Haemonchus Spp. and other different nematodes species. The major problem associated with Gastro intestinal parasitic...

In 2012, we set out to establish a new analytical chemistry platform for the analysis of soil, crop, plant, leaf and insect samples with focus given to insecticides, toxin residuals, phosphates, odors, nutrients, lipid precursors and pheromone signals underlying sex-specific reproductive behaviors. Meanwhile, we set out to organize a communication and exchange platform for cooperation between China and France in the field of Agricultural Biotechnology, Applied Microbiology, Chemistry,...

Introduction At birth, the rumen is non-functional, making calves pre-ruminants. By weaning, the rumen is the principal site of volatile fatty acid (VFA) absorption, responsible for over 50% of all VFA being absorbed (Allen, 1997). Consequently, the calf rumen must undergo a ruminant transition, where the rumen goes from non-functional to functional in 6-10 weeks, coinciding with the period when most dairy calves are weaned (USDA, 2012). The transition...

Introduction Coccidiosis is an infectious disease of the intestinal tract of wild and domestic animals caused by different protozoa. These include but are not limited to Isospora, Neospora, Cryptosporidium, and Eimeria of the phylum Apicomplexa. Those parasites are widespread, especially where intensive production systems are used to raise livestock. They cause mortality, poor growth, and impaired performance. In addition to mortality and reduced growth, coccidiosis also affects...

In recent years, adjustments to the production costs in the dairy industry becomes crucial in light of current circumstances. There has been a continuous reduction in profit margins and increasing instability in this industry. Each stage in the production process requires maximum efficiency from both professional and economic points of view. The calf rearing stage is an integral part of the dairy business, and takes large part in determining the future quality of a dairy herd.
