Dairy goats have a lot to say about milking time, and now scientists have a cool way to listen. By using heat-sensing cameras, researchers have discovered how the temperature of a goat's teats changes during milking. This isn't just about taking pretty pictures, though. It's about understanding how
Dairy cows are feeling the heat, and it's not just a one-day thing. New research shows that extreme heat can cut milk production by up to 10%, and the effects can last for more than 10 days. This isn't just a bad day at the farm; it's a long-term problem. Cows that are in their prime production sta
Dairy products are often skipped by Black Americans. This is largely due to a common belief that they are lactose intolerant. However, this assumption might not always be true. Genetics and ethnicity do play a role in lactose intolerance. But it is not the only factor. Many people who think they hav
Dairy cows face a significant health challenge right after giving birth. This is when their bodies struggle to maintain proper calcium levels. This struggle can lead to uterine issues. Scientists conducted several experiments to understand how calcium affects uterine health in dairy cows. First,
Dairy cows face a big challenge with embryo resorption, which often happens early in pregnancy. This issue is a major reason why dairy farms don't get the best results from their cows. Macrophages, which are immune cells found in the uterus, play a big role in helping the cow's body accept the pregn
Barnard’s Star, a well-known celestial body, has a special place in astronomy. It is only six light-years away from Earth. This star is famous for moving quickly across the night sky. The star's quick motion has always been fascinating to astronomers. For a long time, scientists have wondered if th
Dairy farms in Wales are facing a significant challenge with antimicrobial resistance (AMR). To tackle this issue, it's crucial to understand what drives the use of antimicrobials (AMs) in these farms. A recent study delved into this by examining 21 dairy herds across Wales. The study collected a ma
