Recalcitrant infections are often caused by dormant bacteria, including persisters and viable but nonculturable cells. Here, the authors explore how composition and structure of protein ...

It’s good to maximise litres produced at a better milk price, with lower feed costs. As this is the time of year many herds are tending towards peak yield, it is important to support the cow’s energy ...

Grain-finished cattle often experience a buildup of lactic acid and volatile fatty acids (VFAs), lowering the rumen PH. The resulting acidosis keeps the good bacteria from growing while damaging cells ...

Even though the rumen microflora are well-established early in life ... Feeding clean, high quality colostrum as soon as possible after birth has shown a significant improvement in the bacterial ...

Rumen development begins when calves start eating solid feeds that enter the rumen. For dairy calves, that first feed is usually starter grain, which contains starch. The bacteria that colonize the ...

Pseudomonasis a type of bacteria that's commonly found outdoors, such as in soil and water. It can also thrive in moist places indoors. Some types of this germ, especially Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P.

But having done a lot more reading about the mirror bacteria situation, I’m here with bad news: It’s real, and it’s really serious. More than 35 scientists, including leading researchers ...

Each year, most species of bacteria in a Wisconsin lake rapidly evolved, apparently in response to dramatically changing seasons, and then evolved back. Like Bill Murray in the movie "Groundhog ...
