Climate-Induced Infertility in Dairy Cows: Pathways, Challenges, and Solutions for Sustainable Dairy Development
Abstract: Climate change has emerged as a significant challenge to dairy production, with profound implications for reproductive performance in dairy cows. The interplay of rising temperatures, fluctuating rainfall patterns, and increased frequency of extreme weather events disrupts key physiological, nutritional, and behavioral processes essential for fertility. Heat stress alters hormonal balance, impairs oocyte and embryo quality, reduces estrus expression, and affects pregnancy outcomes. Concurrently, climate-induced nutritional deficits, immune suppression, and increased …

Paternal Pre-Pubertal Smoking: Small RNAs, Lasting Marks, and the Hidden Legacy of Early Exposure
Abstract: While the negative effects of maternal smoking during pregnancy are well-established, the lasting and transgenerational impact of paternal pre-pubertal smoking remains a critical, underexplored area. Emerging evidence in sperm epigenetics suggests that cigarette exposure during early male development may create persistent molecular imprints that can affect the health of future offspring. This phenomenon is rooted in the fact that heredity extends beyond the DNA sequence. Sperm carry a complex epigenetic …
