Project description:The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential effects of methyl donor supplementation of pregnant animals in the presence or absence of a concomitant lactation on the methylome of the offspring. Twenty Holstein cows, 10 nulliparous (not lactating while pregnant) and 10 multiparous (lactating while pregnant) were blocked by parity and randomly assigned to an i.m. weekly injections of a placebo (CTRL) or a solution containing methyl donors (MET). After calving, 5 calves randomly selected from each treatment (two born to primiparous and three to multiparous dams) were blood-sampled to determine their full methylome. There were more than 2,000 CpG differentially methylated between calves born to CTRL and those born to MET, and also between calves born to multiparous and nulliparous dams. Most of the differences affected genes involved in immune function, cell growth regulation and differentiation, kinase activity, and ion channeling. We conclude that the coexistence of pregnancy and lactation affects the methylome of the offspring, and that supplementation of methyl donors early in gestation has also consequences on the methylome.

Project description:<p><strong>BACKGROUND:</strong> Long-distance transportation, a frequent practice in the cattle industry, stresses calves and results in morbidity, mortality and growth suppression, leading to welfare concerns and economic losses. Alkaline mineral water (AMW) is an electrolyte additive containing multiple mineral elements and shows stress-mitigating effects on humans and bovines.</p><p><strong>RESULTS:</strong> Here, we monitored the respiratory health status and growth performance of 60 Simmental calves subjected to 30 hours of road transportation using a clinical scoring system. Within the three days of commingling before the transportation and 30 days after the transportation, calves in the AMW group (n = 30) were supplied with AMW, while calves in the Control group (n = 29) were not. On three specific days, namely the day before transportation (day -3), the 30th day (day 30) and the 60th day (day 60) after transportation, sets of venous blood, serum and nasopharyngeal swab samples were collected from ten calves for routine blood testing, serology detection, whole blood transcriptomic sequencing, serum untargeted metabolic sequencing and 16S rDNA sequencing. The field data showed that calves in the AMW group displayed lower rectal temperatures (38.967 vs 39.022 °C; p < 0.001), respiratory scores (0.079 vs 0.144; p < 0.001), appetite scores (0.024 vs 0.055; p < 0.001), ocular and ear scores (0.185 vs 0.338; p < 0.001), nasal discharge scores (0.143 vs 0.241; p < 0.001) and higher body weight gains (30.87 vs 7.552 kg; p < 0.001). The outcomes of laboratory and high throughput sequencing data revealed that the calves in the AMW group demonstrated higher cellular and humoral immunities, antioxidant capacities, intestinal absorption and lipogenesis abilities, and lower inflammatory levels on days -3 and 60. The nasopharynx 16S rDNA microbiome results revealed the different composition and structure of the nasopharyngeal microflora in the two groups of calves on day 30. Joint analysis of multi-omics revealed that on days -3 and 30, bile secretion was a shared pathway enriched by differentially expressed genes and metabolites, and there were strong correlations between the differentially expressed metabolites and the main genera in the nasopharynx.</p><p><strong>CONCLUSIONS:</strong> These results suggest that AMW supplementation enhances peripheral immunity, nutrition absorption and metabolic processes, subsequently affecting the nasopharyngeal microbiota and improving the respiratory health and growth performance of transported calves. This investigation provided a practical approach to mitigate transportation stress and explored its underlying mechanisms, which are beneficial for the development of the livestock industry.</p>

Project description:Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in calves over one month of age. In a controlled challenge study in artificially-reared dairy calves, the influence of the host response to bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) was examined. Holstein-Friesian calves were either inoculated with BRSV (10^5/ml × 15 ml/animal) (n=12) or mock challenged with phosphate buffer saline (10ml/animal) (n=6). Calves were euthanised on day 7 post-challenge. Bronchial lymph nodes were collected; RNA was extracted and sequenced (75bp paired-end). Sequenced reads were adapter trimmed, quality assessed (FastQC) and aligned to the bovine genome (UMD 3.1) using STAR. Differential gene expression analysis was performed using EdgeR, and pathway and gene ontology analyses were carried out using g:Profiler, IPA and DAVID. There was a clear separation between BRSV challenged and control calves based on log2 fold gene expression changes, despite an observed mild clinical manifestation of the disease. There were 934 differentially expressed genes (DEG) (p < 0.05, FDR < 0.1, fold change > 2) between the BRSV challenged and control calves. Over-represented gene ontology terms, pathways and molecular functions, among the DEG, were associated with immune responses and defense responses to a virus.

Project description:Bovine respiratory epithelial cells have different susceptibility to bovine
respiratory syncytial virus infection. The cells derived from the lower
respiratory tract were significantly more susceptible to the virus than those
derived from the upper respiratory tract. Pre-infection with virus of lower
respiratory tract with increased adherence of P. multocida; this was not the
case for upper tract. However, the molecular mechanisms of enhanced
bacterial adherence are not completely understood. To investigate whether
virus infection regulates the cellular adherence receptor on bovine trachea-,
bronchus- and lung-epithelial cells, we performed proteomic analyses.

Project description:Serotonin is a monoamine that regulates processes such as energy balance and immune function. Manipulating this pathway in growing dairy calves could promote growth and development by modulating functions and signaling pathways within key organs. In this study, we characterized the adipose and muscle transcriptome of pre-weaned calves with increased serotonin bioavailability through the elucidation of differentially expressed genes.

Project description:Bovine Respiratory Syncytial Virus (BRSV) is a cause of Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD). The objective of this study was to elucidate the chromatin regions which were differentially open in the bronchial lymph nodes (BLN) of dairy calves experimentally challenged with BRSV, relative to unchallenged control calves. Holstein-Friesian calves were either challenged with BRSV inoculum (n=12) or mock challenged with PBS (n=6). Calves were euthanised on day 7 post-challenge. ATAC-Seq libraries were prepared from fresh BLN tissues and sequenced (75 bp paired-end). Sequence reads were aligned to the UMD3.1 reference genome and peak calling (q < 0.01) was performed with MACS2, employing the BAMPE model. Using Diffbind, 9,144 and 5,096 differentially accessible peaks were identified between BRSV challenged and control calves (P < 0.05, FDR < 0.05) using DeSeq2 and EdgeR, respectively. There were 169 and 110 genes previously found to be differentially expressed using RNA-Seq located within or up to 2kb upstream of the differentially accessible peaks identified by the DeSeq 2 and EdgeR analyses, respectively. There were 237 differentially accessible peaks positioned within 40 previously identified susceptibility loci for BRD. These open chromatin regions are likely involved in the gene transcriptional and regulatory response to infection by BRSV.

Project description:The objective of present work is to use foodomics approaches in calves’ skeletal muscle and plasma to fully assess the effects of the supplementations of leucine and threonine in the MR during preweaning period (5.6 days to 53.6 days) under the hypothesis that AA supplementation will modify the energy metabolism, especially of the muscle tissue. This study extends our understanding on the metabolism in dairy calves and help to optimize their nutritional status.
