This study aims to clarify the incidence and prevention status of dairy cow mastitis in 79 large-scale pastures in China in 2022,reduce the incidence of dairy cow mastitis,and provide scien-tific basis for formulating prevention and control strategies for dairy cow mastitis in large-scale pastures suitable for China's national conditions.The research team relied on the large-scale ranch of the Comprehensive Experimental Station of National Dairy Industry Technology System to car-ry out research.A total of 79 questionnaires were received.The information on the stock of large-scale farms,the proportion of cows in the herd,the level of cow yields,the incidence and cure rate of cow mastitis,the prevention and control of cow mastitis,diagnosis and treatment programs of cow mastitis,the cost of treating cow mastitis,and the culling rate of farms was collected.Chi-square test and correlation analysis were carried out on the incidence of mastitis in dairy cows and the prevention and control plan,treatment plan,yield level and elimination rate of mastitis in dairy cows by descriptive statistical cross table.The incidence of cow mastitis in some pastures was con-trolled between 5%and 10%,and the cure rate was mostly as high as 98%.According to the co-hort analysis,the importance of prevention and control measures for dairy cow mastitis was as fol-lows:DMT>DHI>milk yield>milk traits>breast apparent change>electrical conductivity>CMT.The importance of treatment measures for dairy cow mastitis is as follows:DMT>DHI>milk yield>milk traits>breast apparent changes>electrical conductivity>CMT.The importance of treatment measures for mastitis is as follows:traditional Chinese medicine>pathogen detection and drug sensitivity test>non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs>regular maintenance of milking equipment>normal milking without treatment>broad-spectrum antibiotics.The incidence of mas-titis in dairy cows is moderately positively correlated with the yield per unit area,that is,the in-crease in the incidence of mastitis in dairy cows has a certain impact on the yield per unit area of dairy cows.Economic analysis shows that the treatment cost of mastitis is closely related to the in-cidence rate,and the treatment cost of pasture with higher incidence rate is higher.Pastures with higher yields usually have more efficient means of disease prevention and control,and the corre-sponding treatment costs are lower.In conclusion,China's large-scale pastures should strengthen the scientific feeding management level,improve the prevention and control methods to reduce the incidence of cow mastitis,improve the cure rate,and reduce the cost of pasture treatment.

This study investigated the incidence,prevention and control measures,diagnostic and treatment methods,and treatment costs of hoof diseases in dairy cows across 87 large-scale farms,aiming to provide a scientific basis and new insights for the treatment and prevention of hoof disea-ses in dairy herds.The results showed that the incidence rate of lameness in most farms was con-trolled between 3%and 7%,with a cure rate above 85%.The importance ranking of prevention and control measures was as follows:hoof trimming>leveling the ground>disinfection>regular foot baths>manure removal>locomotion(lameness)scoring.The importance ranking of treat-ment measures was:hoof trimming>disinfection and astringents>anti-inflammatory treatment>antibiotics>block application>traditional Chinese medicine(fire therapy).Economic analysis showed that the treatment cost of lameness was closely related to the incidence rate,with higher treatment expenses observed in farms with higher incidence rates.Farms with higher individual milk yields typically had more efficient disease management strategies,leading to lower treatment costs.Large-scale farms should continuously optimize management practices to reduce the occur-rence of lameness and improve overall farm efficiency by using effective treatment strategies.

The purpose of this study was to clarify the incidence of ketosis in dairy cows in large-scale dairy farms and the effect of ketosis on the subsequent lactation performance of dairy cows.In this experiment,79 perinatal cows in 8 stages of prenatal 21,14,7 days,delivery day,postpartum 3,7,14,21 days were selected to determine the blood biochemical indexes such as BHB,GLU,NE-FA and ALT in their blood.According to the concentration of BHB in the blood,they were divided into healthy group(CON),subclinical ketosis group(SCK)and clinical ketosis group(CK).There was a disorder of mineral elements in dairy cows in the experimental ranch,and the liver function of dairy cows was abnormal,and there was a disorder of energy metabolism.The incidence of keto-sis in dairy cows in the survey pasture was 26.14%,of which the incidence of SCK was 19.32%,and the incidence of CK was 6.82%,which was comparable to the global average incidence and lower than the average incidence in China.Compared with CON cows,SCK and CK cows had energy metabolism disorders and abnormal liver function,and CK cows were more serious.The milk yield of dairy cows with ketosis decreased significantly.The milk fat rate of dairy cows in SCK group was higher than that in CON group,while the milk fat rate of dairy cows in CK group was significantly lower than that in CON group.The fat-to-egg ratio of dairy cows in CK group was sig-nificantly lower than that in SCK group and CON group.The changes of lactation performance in different types of ketosis at 6 months after ketosis were different,and the lactation performance of dairy cows in CON group was the most stable.In the production of pastures,timely and effective treatment and management are essential for restoring the health and milk production performance of dairy cows.Ketosis can lead to disorder of energy metabolism and abnormal liver function in dairy cows,reduce milk yield,and have a continuous effect on lactation performance of dairy cows.Maintaining the health of dairy cows is the key to improving milk production and maintaining sta-ble lactation performance.For different types of ketosis cows,corresponding management and treatment measures should be taken to reduce economic losses.

Total knee arthroplasty(TKA)is mainly used for the treatment of advanced knee osteoarthritis.Accurate preoperative planning and rapid prosthesis recognition are essential for smooth operation and postoperative rehabilitation.However,manual prosthesis recognition rely on doctors'experience,easily leading to misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis.Recent years,artificial intelligence(AI)had been integrated with medical imaging,represented by machine learning(ML)and its branch deep learning(DL),and displayed relatively powerful auxiliary functions in TKA.The research status and application progresses of AI combined with imaging in TKA were reviewed in this article.

To clarify the current situation of ketosis in dairy cattle on large-scale pastures in China and provide new insights,a questionnaire survey was conducted to analyze the incidence,preven-tion,treatment methods,and associated costs of ketosis in 79 large-scale pastures.The results showed that the average incidence of ketosis in dairy cows was 3.97%,with a cure rate of 92.40%.The order of importance of methods for preventing and controlling ketosis was as follows:feed for-mulation optimization>blood ketone monitoring>negative energy balance monitoring>feed in-take monitoring>milk yield monitoring.The most important treatment methods are intravenous glucose>propylene glycol butyl phosphate>vitamins>choline.The most important diagnostic methods are blood ketone testing>milk ketone testing>negative energy balance testing>clinical symptoms>blood glucose testing.Economic analysis revealed that treatment costs were lower on larger farms and higher milk yields farms.Continuous optimization of feeding management,preven-tion,and control measures should be implemented on large-scale farms in China to reduce the oc-currence of ketosis in dairy cows.Additionally,more effective diagnostic and treatment methods should be employed to improve the cure rate and overall farm income.
