Metagenomic characterization of the effect of feed additives on the gut microbiome and antibiotic resistome of feedlot cattle
Milton Thomas,M. J. Webb,Sudeep Ghimire,Amanda D. Blair,Kenneth C. Olson,Gavin J. Fenske,Alex Thomas Fonder,Jane Christopher-Hennings,Derek Brake,Joy Scaria +9 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that use of antibiotic feed additives does not produce discernable changes at the phylum level, however, treated cattle had reduced abundance of gram-positive bacteria at the genus level and functional analysis of the data indicates that there was only minimal impact due to the treatment in the rumen.
Influenza A in Bovine Species: A Narrative Literature Review
TL;DR: A multifaceted chronological review of literature on influenza in cattle comprises mainly of the natural infections/outbreaks, experimental studies, and pathological and seroepidemiological aspects of influenza A that have occurred in the past and sheds light on the bovine models used in vitro and in vivo for influenza-related studies over recent years.

TL;DR: Results indicate that the gnotobiotic chicks stably maintained the phylogenetic diversity and predicted metabolic functionality of the inoculum community, and shows that young germfree chicks are able to colonize diverse sets of gut bacteria.

Susceptibility of livestock and companion animals to COVID-19.
TL;DR: The susceptibility of companion and agricultural animals is explored in light of the existing information on natural infections, experimental infections, serosurveillance, and in vitro protein‐homology binding interaction studies of the SARS‐CoV‐2 with the proposed receptor angiotensin‐converting enzyme 2 from diverse animal species.
