Sexed Semen: A Boon for Indian Dairy Farming
Abstract: The sexed semen technology is a breakthrough technology for sorting of X and Y bearing chromosome to produce progeny of a desired sex with 80–90% accuracy. Among several methods of sorting X and Y bearing semen, flow cytometry is the best method, as it doesn’t changes more sperm morphology. The sexed semen technology has several advantages like production of more female calves and more milk, lowered risk of dystocia, increased …

Lactation Persistency and its Genetic Evaluation in Cattle—A Review
Abstract: Lactation persistency, an economically important trait for dairy animal, can be defined as the capacity of a cow to continue milk production at a high level after the peak yield. High persistent cows are expected to have higher lactation production, longer productive life and considered as efficient producers. Moreover, lactation persistency has a great influence on the health, reproduction and feed costs of dairy cows. Different environmental factors viz., season …

Successful Treatment of Clinical Ketosis in Dairy Cattle
Abstract: Ketosis is a post-parturient metabolic disease encountered in high yielders due to imbalance in production and feeding leading to gluconeogenesis along with formation of abnormally high levels of ketone bodies. The disorder is particularly seen within the first few weeks after calving. It arises due to a negative energy balance when energy demands for milk production exceed dietary energy intake, leading to excessive mobilization of body fat reserves and resulting …

Colostrum-Driven Epigenetic Programming in Dairy Cows: A Pathway to Optimal Reproductive Health
Abstract: Colostrum is a vital nutritional source for neonatal calves, providing immune support and essential growth factors. Recent research suggests that colostrum’s impact extends beyond immediate immunological protection, influencing long-term reproductive health through epigenetic modifications. In dairy heifers, early-life exposure to high-quality colostrum may program the developing reproductive system, affecting ovarian function, uterine health, and overall fertility. The components of colostrum, including hormones, growth factors, and bioactive peptides, can induce epigenetic …
