Journal Article
Hernandez-Medrano, J. H., Fernando Espinosa-Castilloa, L., Rodrigueza, A. D., Gutierreza, C. G., & Wapenaar, W. (2021). Use of pooled serum samples to assess herd disease status using commercially available ELISAs. Tropical Animal Health and Production, 53(5), Article 507. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11250-021-02939-1

Pooled samples are used in veterinary and human medicine as a cost-effective approach to monitor disease prevalence. Nonetheless, there is limited information on the effect of pooling on test performance, and research is required to determine the app...

Sevoflurane or isoflurane anaesthesia? A prospective, randomised blinded clinical trial in horses undergoing elective surgery (2021)
Journal Article
White, K. L., Hird, J. F. R., & Taylor, P. M. (2021). Sevoflurane or isoflurane anaesthesia? A prospective, randomised blinded clinical trial in horses undergoing elective surgery. Veterinary Record, 189(3), Article e507. https://doi.org/10.1002/vetr.507

Background: Isoflurane is the only volatile anaesthetic agent licensed for equine use in the United Kingdom, but sevoflurane is also commonly used. The two agents have rarely been compared for use in clinical elective surgery. Methods: This single ce... Read More about Sevoflurane or isoflurane anaesthesia?

Attitudes of UK veterinary students towards careers in the production animal sector: A mixed methods approach (2021)
Journal Article
Payne, E., Cobb, K., Oldham, J., & Remnant, J. (2021). Attitudes of UK veterinary students towards careers in the production animal sector: A mixed methods approach. Veterinary Record, 189(8), Article e455. https://doi.org/10.1002/vetr.455

Background: Within the production animal sector, it has long been forecast that demand for veterinary services could outstrip supply. This study aims to identify factors influencing veterinary undergraduates’ attitudes towards a career in farm animal...

Prediction of Streptococcus uberis clinical mastitis treatment success in dairy herds by means of mass spectrometry and machine-learning (2021)
Journal Article
Maciel-Guerra, A., Esener, N., Giebel, K., Lea, D., Green, M. J., Bradley, A. J., & Dottorini, T. (2021). Prediction of Streptococcus uberis clinical mastitis treatment success in dairy herds by means of mass spectrometry and machine-learning. Scientific Reports, 11(1), Article 7736. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-87300-0

Streptococcus uberis is one of the leading pathogens causing mastitis worldwide. Identification of S. uberis strains that fail to respond to treatment with antibiotics is essential for better decision making and treatment selection. We demonstrate th...

Maternal protein restriction affects fetal ovary development in sheep (2021)
Journal Article
Nwachukwu, C. U., Woad, K. J., Barnes, N., Gardner, D. S., & Robinson, R. S. (2021). Maternal protein restriction affects fetal ovary development in sheep. Reproduction and Fertility, 2(2), 161-171. https://doi.org/10.1530/raf-20-0073

Maternal malnutrition has important developmental consequences for the foetus. Indeed, adverse fetal ovarian development could have lifelong impact, with potentially reduced ovarian reserve and fertility of the offspring. This study investigated the...

Journal Article
Wilson, J. P., Randall, L. V., Green, M. J., Rutland, C. S., Bradley, C. R., Ferguson, H. J., Bagnall, A., & Huxley, J. N. (2021). A history of lameness and low body condition score is associated with reduced digital cushion volume, measured by magnetic resonance imaging, in dairy cattle. Journal of Dairy Science, 104(6), 7026-7038. https://doi.org/10.3168/jds.2020-19843

Claw horn lesions (CHL) are the result of a failing of the functional anatomy of the hoof in dairy cows. The digital cushion is understood to be a vital structure in the prevention of CHL. Claw horn lesions have previously been shown to lead to patho...
