BACKGROUND: Long-distance transportation, a frequent practice in the cattle industry, stresses calves and results in morbidity, mortality and growth suppression, leading to welfare concerns and economic losses. Alkaline mineral water (AMW) is an electrolyte additive containing mu...
In pre-weaning calves, both leucine and threonine play important roles in growth and muscle metabolism. In this study, metabolomics, proteomics and clinical chemistry were used to assess the effects of leucine and threonine supplementation added to milk replacer on 14 newborn Holstein male calves...
This study generated metabolomic data to investigate metabolic changes in yak calves following enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) challenge and Pediococcus pentosaceus NQ0729 supplementation. Yak calves were divided into three groups: a control group (CON), an ETEC-challenged group (ETEC), a...
The yak, an economically vital species on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, faces a significant challenge with diarrhea during the calf stage. However, studies about diarrhea of yak calves were few. Due to the close link between diarrhea and intestinal microbiota. Therefore, this study analyzed the feca...
