Funded Activity Summary

Identification of at-risk transition cows: Use of exosomal biomarkers. This project aims to improve the early diagnosis of cows at risk of infectious disease and debilitating metabolic syndromes. Animal health and longevity are pillars of the dairy industry. The risk of death is up to 6 times greater during the transition from pregnancy to lactation, making this ‘transition period’ the time for detection and intervention. If successful, this project will permit the focus of resources on high risk cows and reduce poor outcomes: lower milk production, involuntary culling and increased cow maintenance costs. Within this overall objective, a cost-effective project design will leverage partner facilities and existing networks to translate findings to farm use, thereby clearly delivering economic value.
