La césarienne est un acte fréquemment réalisé par les médecins vétérinaires belges, les procédures et les techniques peuvent varier fortement en fonction du praticien ou du nombre réalisé par an. Un sondage a été réalisé pour nous éclairer sur la situation actuelle quant aux techniques et matériaux utilisés par des médecins vétérinaires pratiquant en Belgique et en France. Dans un deuxième temps, une étude de terrain a été programmée pour analyser l’évolution de la cicatrisation des plaies cutanées suite à des césariennes sur des vaches de race Blanc-Bleu Belge dans différents élevages en Wallonie, réalisées par différents vétérinaires. Des différences significatives sont observées entre les types de fils et de sutures plus particulièrement sur l'inflammation, le suintement, la déhiscence, l'infection et la nécrose au niveau de la plaie. Caesarean section is a procedure frequently performed by Belgian veterinarians, the procedures and techniques can vary greatly depending on the practitioner or the number performed per year. A survey was carried out to shed light on the current situation regarding the techniques and materials used by veterinary doctors practizing in Belgium and in France. In a second step, a field study was programmed to analyze the evolution of the healing of skin wounds following caesarean sections on cows of the Belgian White-Blue breed in different farms in Wallonia, carried out by different veterinarians. Significant differences are observed between the type of suture material and the suture pattern, more particularly on inflammation, oozing, dehiscence, infection and necrosis at the wound.

Mycotoxins represent a significant issue for the feed industry and the safety of the feed supply chain, with an impact on human health, animal health and production, economies, and international trade. The globalization of the trade in agricultural commodities and the lack of legislative harmonization have contributed significantly to the discussion about the awareness of mycotoxins entering the feed/food supply chain. The feed industry is a sustainable outlet for food processing industries, converting byproducts into high-quality animal feed. Mycotoxin occurrence in food byproducts from different technological processes is a worldwide topic of interest for the feed industry, aiming to increase the marketability and acceptance of these products as feed ingredients and include them safely in the feed supply chain. Since mycotoxin contamination cannot be completely prevented pre- or post-harvest, the modern feed industry needs new tools for monitoring and managing the risk of mycotoxins and strategies to prevent and reduce mycotoxins in compound feed manufacturing. The aim of this Special Issue book was to bring together a collection of valuable articles with innovative ideas for a sustainable and competitive feed industry.

From birth to first calving, the replacement heifer undergoes tremendous changes anatomically as well as in feeding and management practices. The calf changes from being a pseudo-monogastric to a full ruminant within a period of two months. During the same period, the calf is fed colostrum, milk, or milk replacer, and starter with or without hay. Notably, the lifetime milk production and health of a dairy cow is highly dependent on early life nutrition and management of the calf and, subsequently, the heifer. Hence, animal scientists continue to investigate critical areas such as colostrum feeding, the level of liquid feeding, gut microbial succession, energy and protein levels, housing, health management, and their interactions with the animal in an effort to help dairy producers raise successful and sustainable dairy enterprises.
