Dataset for Evaluation of a novel microfluidic chip-like device for purifying bovine frozen-thawed semen for in vitro fertilization

<p>VetCount<sup>TM</sup> Harvester (MotilityCount ApS, Copenhagen, Denmark) is a novel sperm<br> purification device. It consists of two chambers separated by a 10 &mu;M microporous<br> membrane. Untreated semen is applied in one chamber, sperm collection medium<br> in the other. Motile sperm cells are selected by actively swimming through the<br> membrane pores into the medium containing chamber. After 30 min incubation,<br> the sperm collection medium can be aspirated and the purified sperm is ready<br> for further use.<br> In a first experiment we assessed sperm quality and recovery of frozen-thawed semen<br> from six different bulls (n = 6) prior to and after purification with the<br> VetCount<sup>TM</sup> Harvester or BoviPure<sup>TM</sup> gradient centrifugation,&nbsp;a commercial available&nbsp;standard technique. In a second approach, a competitive fertilization assay was performed. Ten straws per bull were pooled, split<br> in two subsamples, and simultaneously purified either with the VetCount<sup>TM</sup> Harvester<br> or BoviPure<sup>TM</sup> gradient centrifugation. Following purification, sperm cells<br> from each treatment group were fluorescently labeled with either MitoTracker<sup>TM</sup><br> Red FM or MitoTracker<sup>TM</sup> Green FM. <em>In vitro</em> matured oocytes were inseminated&nbsp;with<br> equal numbers of red and green labeled sperm. Eighteen hours after fertilization,<br> fluorescence microscopy was used to determine the origin of the fertilizing spermatozoon.</p>

Radiofrequency ultrasound signals from bovine cartilage samples degraded with trypsin and collagenase

The folder Repository_RF_data contains the radiofrequency (RF) data acquired with an ArtUS EXT-1H system (Telemed, Italy) equipped with a 192 elements linear probe L15-7H40-A5 working in the frequency range 7.5-15 MHz, in the matlab format ".mat". Data were collected at 15 MHz, with a sampling rate of 40 MHz, adjusting the focus in the middle of the samples. The analysed samples were bovine cartilage samples, divided in three groups: - Control group: cartilage sample without any chemical treatment. - Trypsin group: cartilage samples immersed in a trypsin solution for 4h. - Collagenase group: cartilage samples immersed in a collagenase solution for 24h. The folder Repository_RF_data includes 2 matlab variables: - trypsin.mat = data acquired from 6 samples before and after the trypsin treatment - collagenase.mat = data acquired from 6 samples before and after the collagenase treatment Each variable is a TxN cell, where T is the time point of evaluation and N is the number of samples. The first row of each variable corresponds to the time zero of treatment, that is the control group; while the second row includes measurement at the final time point of treatment (4h for trypsin an 24h for collagenase). In particular, a single RF frame was acquired for all the analyses. Each recorded RF frame resulted in a matrix in which the columns (57) represented the number of RF scanning lines in a specific RF window, while the rows (727) constituted the number of samples in a single scanning line. For the details, see the articles published on Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society: Sorriento A, Cafarelli A, Valenza G, Ricotti L. Ex-vivo quantitative ultrasound assessment of cartilage degeneration. Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc. 2021 Nov;2021:2976-2980. doi: 10.1109/EMBC46164.2021.9630198. PMID: 34891870.

Data from: Effect of culling on individual badger (Meles meles) behaviour: potential implications for bovine tuberculosis transmission

1. Culling wildlife as a form of disease management can have unexpected and sometimes counterproductive outcomes. In the UK, badgers (Meles meles) are culled in efforts to reduce badger-to-cattle transmission of Mycobacterium bovis, the causative agent of bovine tuberculosis (TB). However, culling has previously been associated with both increased and decreased incidence of M. bovis infection in cattle. 2. The adverse effects of culling have been linked to cull-induced changes in badger ranging, but such changes are not well documented at the individual level. Using GPS-collars, we characterised individual badger behaviour within an area subjected to widespread industry-led culling, comparing it with the same area before culling and with three unculled areas. 3. Culling was associated with a 61% increase (95% CI 27-103%) in monthly home range size, a 39% increase (95% CI 28-51%) in nightly maximum distance from the sett, and a 17% increase (95% CI 11-24%) in displacement between successive GPS-collar locations recorded at 20-minute intervals. Despite travelling further, we found a 91.2 minute (95% CI 67.1-115.3 minute) reduction in the nightly activity time of individual badgers associated with culling. These changes became apparent while culls were ongoing and persisted after culling ended. 4. Expanded ranging in culled areas was associated with individual badgers visiting 45% (95% CI 15-80%) more fields each month, suggesting that surviving individuals had the opportunity to contact more cattle. Moreover, surviving badgers showed a 19.9-fold increase (95% CI 10.8-36.4 increase) in the odds of trespassing into neighbouring group territories, increasing opportunities for intergroup contact. 5. Synthesis and Applications: Badger culling was associated with behavioural changes among surviving badgers which potentially increased opportunities for both badger-to-badger and badger-to-cattle transmission of M. bovis. Furthermore, by reducing the time badgers spent active, culling may have reduced badgers' accessibility to shooters, potentially undermining subsequent population control efforts. Our results specifically illustrate the challenges posed by badger behaviour to cull-based TB control strategies and furthermore, they highlight the negative impacts culling can have on integrated disease control strategies.

16S Phyloseq R object accompanying the paper: Effects of storage methods on total bacterial count and microbial composition of bovine colostrum

<p>This ready to load <strong>phyloseq</strong> R S4 object contains the ASV table, taxonomy table and sample metadata (16S V3-V4). This data was build using the DaDa2 (version 1.12.1) and phyloseq (version 1.32) R packages using our raw Illumina MiSeq PE300 sequencing data deposited at NCBI-SRA under BioProject: PRJNA872909.</p> <p>The accompanying (peer-reviewed) scientific article can be found here:&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li>https://www.todo</li> <li>DOI: todo</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Study/draft abstract:</strong></p> <p>Lisa Robbers, Hannes Bijkerk, &nbsp;Lars Ravesloot, Alex Bossers, Mirjam Nielen, Ruurd Jorritsma, Ad Koets,&nbsp;Lindert Benedictus</p> <p>Neonatal calves need to acquire passive immunity through maternal colostrum, as they are immunologically na&iuml;ve and the structure of the bovine placenta does not allow passage of maternal antibodies during pregnancy. Milked colostrum is not initially sterile and may even contain high bacterial counts. Minimizing total bacterial counts in colostrum is generally advised, however bacterial quality of colostrum comprises more than just bacterial quantities, but also depends on the specific bacteria present. While duration and temperature of colostrum storage are known to affect total plate counts (TPC), less is known about the effects of storage on the actual bacterial composition of the TPC. We speculated that, depending on the storage conditions, colostrum is a substrate in which certain bacterial species can thrive affecting the quality of colostrum.</p> <p>We therefore aimed to characterize the effects of different colostrum storage methods on the composition of the viable, aerobic, microbial community. Colostrum samples were stored at different temperatures and for different durations. Next, bacterial growth was assessed using the aerobe plate count culture method, followed by 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. Differences in the TPC bacterial compositions of the stored colostrum samples, as determined by 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing, were mostly explained by the variation in bacterial composition of the colostrum sample directly after milking. In line with earlier studies, the results from our study show that the TPC increased when colostrum was stored for 24 hours at room temperature, but not when stored in a refrigerator for the same duration. Community structure of the TPC of colostrum stored at room temperature for 24 hours and stored in a refrigerator for a week was significantly different from the baseline samples. The 16S rRNA sequencing results indicate this is because of increased numbers of <em>Enterobacteriaceae.</em> <em>Enterobacteriaceae</em> abundance in refrigerated samples seemed to remain stable for the first 24 hours, but increased drastically after one week. The results indicate that microbial composition of stored colostrum is mostly influenced by the composition of the colostrum sample directly after milking, which is most probably the result of contamination or other environmental influences during the milking process. This study provides a deeper insight in the changes in the microbial composition of colostrum TPC during practical storage conditions and provides a primer for more detailed research into the determinants of bacterial composition of colostrum and the linked health effects.</p>
