No light, no problem: provision of light during simulated transport does not alter broiler chick performance or welfare outcomes.
Clinical Context Peer-reviewed veterinary literature continues to shape everyday decision-making for production animal practice, especially when new evidence clarifies diagnosis, treatment selection, monitoring, or clinical outcomes. What the Study Evaluated A study published in Poultry science in 2026 evaluated no light, no problem: provision of light during simulated transport does not alter broiler chick performance or welfare outcomes.. Key Findings Commercial transport of newly hatched...

The role of endoscopy in bovine internal medecine
Endoscopy in bovine internal medicine has come a long way from the first profound research papers in the 1980s to its present-day use. This paper1 reviews the progress in the 2000s and identifies the main application fields for diagnostic and therapeutic use. Inclusion criteria for scientific papers and reports encompassed focus on endoscopic examination techniques in cattle in the field of internal medicine and publication in a peer reviewed journal (case report/review/original research...

Ozone use in the treatment of subclinical mastitis in dairy cows
This research communication paper addresses the hypothesis that the use of therapeutic alternatives for mastitis, such as intramammary ozone, can cure the disease with lower costs and without harmful residues for human consumption and without formation of microbial resistance like the ones caused by indiscriminate use of antibiotics in dairy farms. The study was performed in 36 mammary quarters from 12 dairy cows with subclinical mastitis grade three. The experimental units were randomly...

Genetic marker identified for bovine familial convulsions and ataxia in angus cattle
Texas A&M College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Department of Animal Science researchers published an article in the March 2024 issue of Animal Genetics describing how they identified a de novo mutation in CACNA1A associated with autosomal dominant bovine familial convulsions and ataxia in Angus cattle. Bovine familial convulsions and ataxia Also known as cerebellar abiotrophy, bovine familial convulsions and ataxia (BFCA) was first described in Angus cattle in 1968. Affected calves...

Supplementing bovine colostrum during weaning to improve weight gain
Weaning in dairy calves is associated with a transition from a liquid to a solid diet and with multiple stressors, including increased gastrointestinal (GI) permeability, reduced immune function of the GI tract epithelium, decreased intestinal absorptive capacity, and increased respiratory disease. These stressors often lead to reduced weight gain during weaning. Bovine colostrum replacer supplementation may assist this transition during weaning by improving intestinal integrity and GI...
