Summary: BRD is associated with infectious agents, management, and transport-stress. Antimicrobial use reduces respiratory tract pathogens, but antibiotic resistance and pathogen spread raise concerns. Detection of pathogens during transportation and their impact on cattle health, as well as strategies to enhance calf immunity, are key areas of focus for public health.

Summary: This study identified loci and heritability estimates associated with BCoV infection and BRD in dairy calves and feedlot cattle. Results suggest that selection breeding may help reduce susceptibility to BCoV infection and BRD in cattle.

Summary: This review evaluates options for mitigating methane emissions from dairy and beef cattle on a quantitative basis and integrates approaches in feeding, rumen fermentation profiles, and rumen microbiota changes. The results show positive correlations between methane emissions and factors such as feed intake, milk production, and acetate/propionate ratio.

Summary: This study provides an overview of the hematology and immunology in newly received stocker cattle and explores the potential of using these parameters to predict the status and facilitate treatment decisions of bovine respiratory disease (BRD). The findings suggest that combining hematological parameters such as hemoglobin and platelets with haptoglobin concentration can be useful in predicting BRD. Moreover, haptoglobin was identified as the most important parameter in differentiating the severity of BRD. Overall, measuring hematological and immunological parameters may aid in determining the status of BRD in newly received stocker cattle.

Summary: Background transcriptomics has identified differentially expressed genes associated with bovine respiratory disease (BRD) development. In this study, the researchers aimed to selectively analyze and validate the mRNA expression of multiple independent populations of beef cattle. The results showed significant differences in gene expression patterns between healthy cattle and those with severe BRD, and the transcriptome analysis could be used to predict the occurrence of severe cases.

Summary: Bovine coronavirus (BCoV) has been found to cross species barriers, including humans. The transmission and adaptation of BCoV are influenced by the interplay between the surface spike (S) and hemagglutinin-esterase (HE) glycoproteins. Genetic sequencing of clinical samples from cattle in the United States revealed low genetic diversity in BCoV genomes. Some isolates had specific structural variations in the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the HE gene, potentially affecting interspecies transmission.

Summary: This study found that there were no significant differences in forage productivity and animal performance under different forage mixtures, but the mixture with higher plant diversity had a slight advantage in digestibility and methane emissions.

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence and molecular characteristics of BRSV in beef cattle with BRDC in China, revealing wide geographical distribution of BRSV in China, with subgroup III strains being dominant and showing unique evolutionary trends. This contributes to a better understanding of the prevalence and genetic evolution of BRSV.

Summary: Equine coronavirus (ECoV) is an emerging cause of enteric disease in adult horses, with outbreaks reported in the USA, EU, and Japan, as well as sporadic cases in the UK and Saudi Arabia. Infection of ECoV in horses in Israel has never been reported, and the risk of exposure is unknown. The study found that exposure to ECoV in horses in Israel was significantly associated with geographical area.

Summary: Bovine coronavirus (BCoV) is a significant pathogen causing calf diarrhea, winter dysentery, and bovine respiratory disease complex, with global distribution. Infection of BCoV in cattle results in mortality, growth retardation, reduced milk production, and poor milk quality, leading to economic losses in the bovine industry. This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate BCoV prevalence in cattle in China prior to 2022. The overall prevalence was 30.8%, with the highest rate in South China (60.5%) and the lowest rate in Central China (15.6%). Various factors, including sample sources, detection methods, breeding methods, and presence of diarrhea, were identified as potential risk factors for BCoV prevalence. Strengthening BCoV detection in cattle is recommended to effectively control its spread.

Summary: Prediction models for enteric methane emissions from beef cattle in South-east Asia are influenced by the diverse feeding systems and climate conditions, with different accuracy levels observed depending on the dietary forage contents. The study developed improved CH4 prediction models based on individual animal records from the region, highlighting the need for region-specific models to reliably predict CH4 emissions from beef cattle.

Summary: This study verified the relationship between the expression of ACSF3 and cellular triglyceride production, and analyzed the relationship between ACSF3 polymorphism and economic traits and fatty acid composition in Chinese Simmental cattle. ACSF3 plays a crucial role in regulating cellular triacylglycerol and long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid levels, and polymorphism could serve as a useful molecular marker for marker-assisted selection in beef cattle breeding for intramuscular fat deposition traits.

Summary: Bovine digital dermatitis is a significant cause of infectious lameness in cattle globally, but little is known about the etiopathogenesis of the disease. This study identified a core microbial group consisting of species of Treponema, Fusobacterium, Porphyromonas, and Bacteroides associated with digital dermatitis lesions. Further investigations are needed to understand the microbial factors involved in digital dermatitis pathogenesis for more targeted mitigation and treatment strategies.

Summary: This paper builds a three-layer network model to simulate the transmission of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) virus between farms. The results show that truck visits can enlarge the epidemic size and prolong the duration of the outbreak, while information-sharing techniques can mitigate the epidemic. The effectiveness of the information-sharing network depends on the network topology and participation levels.
