Early studies showed promising subjective and histological responses in both RCD1 and RCD2, 72 , 73 but a worrying trend to increasing progression to EATL in RCD2. 73 Good responses have been reported in RCD1 but not subsequently in RCD2. 38 Limiting its use to RCD1, the azathioprine metabolite, thioguanine (tioguanine), achieved an 83% clinical response and 78% histological response, but there was still a considerab

This is a worrying trend showing that dairy cattle are becoming less adapted to the environments, which can be attributed to two main reasons: 1) increase in climate changes characterized by frequent and extreme weather, and 2) selection pressure on production traits over the years, given that heat tolerance (i.e., slope traits) is unfavorably associated with milk yield (i.e., intercept traits), with phenotypic correlations of around −0.80 ( Cheruiyot et al., 2020 ).
