TL;DR: A survey on calf rearing practices that might affect dairy calf welfare was performed via a 1-h interview on 115 dairy farms distributed throughout the province of Quebec, identifying major risk factors for poor calf welfare.

TL;DR: Female canaries (Serinus canaria) are exposed to attractive and unattractive song repertoires using a crossover design, which implies thatsong repertoires convey important information about the reproductive value of a given male and suggests that testosterone deposition in egg yolk may be costly.

TL;DR: Daily milk losses caused by changes in LnSCC were dependent on breed, parity and stage of lactation, and these factors should be considered when estimating losses associated with subclinical mastitis.

TL;DR: Genetic differences between sires with regard to the hazard function of their daughters was clearly demonstrated and older age at first calving was found to be associated with higher risks of culling.

TL;DR: Results from the present study suggest that a short DP management strategy could be more appropriate for today's dairy cows, although not suitable for all cows or all herds.
