Methods of analyzing a biological sample obtained from the canine subject for the presence of one or two copies one or two copies of minor allele T of SNP Affx-206229307; or one or two copies of minor allele A of SNP Affx-206560187; or one or two copies of minor allele T of SNP Affx-206229307 and one or two copies of minor allele A of SNP Affx-206560187 are disclosed. The methods are used in methods to identify a canine subject that has an increased likelihood or risk of hypothyroidism and in methods of treating a canine subject to reduce risk of hypothyroidism or to treat a canine subject that has hypothyroidism. The treatments comprise administering to the canine subject a low arginine diet and/or comprising an effective amount of a composition comprising a protein source, a carbohydrate source, a vegetable source, and a fruit source. Canine food compositions are disclosed.

Provided herein is a transgenic plant having increased expression of a coding region encoding a resistance protein, where the transgenic plant has increased resistance to infection by Leptosphaeria maculans. In one embodiment, the transgenic plant is B. napus, B. oleraceae, B. rapa, or B. juncea. Also provided are methods of increasing resistance of a member of the genus Brassica to infection by Leptosphaeria maculans, methods of making a transgenic plant with increased resistance to Leptosphaeria maculans, and methods of producing food, feed, or an industrial product using a transgenic plant.

The disclosure relates to isolated microorganisms—including novel strains of the microorganisms—microbial consortia, and compositions comprising the same. Furthermore, the disclosure teaches methods of utilizing the described microorganisms, microbial consortia, and compositions comprising the same, in methods for modulating the production and yield of milk and milk components in ruminants. In particular aspects, the disclosure provides methods of increasing desirable components of milk in ruminants. Furthermore, the disclosure provides for methods of modulating the rumen microbiome.
