Increased dietary protein in the second trimester of gestation increases live weight gain and carcass composition in weaner calves to 6 months of age (2016)
Journal Article
Miguel-Pacheco, G., Curtain, L., Rutland, C. S., Knott, L., Norman, S., Phillips, N., & Perry, V. (2017). Increased dietary protein in the second trimester of gestation increases live weight gain and carcass composition in weaner calves to 6 months of age. Animal, 11(6), 991-999. https://doi.org/10.1017/S1751731116002330

Genetically similar nulliparous Polled Hereford heifers from a closed pedigree herd were used to evaluate the effects of dietary protein during the first and second trimester of gestation upon fetal, placental and postnatal growth. Heifers were rando... Read More about Increased dietary protein in the second trimester of gestation increases live weight gain and carcass composition in weaner calves to 6 months of age.

Linking bone development on the caudal aspect of the distal phalanx with lameness during life (2016)
Journal Article
Newsome, R., Green, M. J., Bell, N., Chagunda, M., Mason, C., Rutland, C. S., …Huxley, J. (2016). Linking bone development on the caudal aspect of the distal phalanx with lameness during life. Journal of Dairy Science, 99(6), https://doi.org/10.3168/jds.2015-10202

Claw horn disruption lesions (CHDL; sole hemorrhage, sole ulcer, and white line disease) cause a large proportion of lameness in dairy cattle, yet their etiopathogenesis remains poorly understood. Untreated CHDL may be associated with damage to the i... Read More about Linking bone development on the caudal aspect of the distal phalanx with lameness during life.

Genetics of human and canine dilated cardiomyopathy (2015)
Journal Article
Simpson, S., Edwards, J., Ferguson-Mignan, T. F., Cobb, M., Mongan, N. P., & Rutland, C. S. (2015). Genetics of human and canine dilated cardiomyopathy. International Journal of Genomics, 2015, Article 204823. https://doi.org/10.1155/2015/204823

Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death in both humans and dogs. Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) accounts for a large number of these cases, reported to be the third most common form of cardiac disease in humans and the second most common in...

A predictive model for canine dilated cardiomyopathy: a meta-analysis of Doberman Pinscher data (2015)
Journal Article
Simpson, S., Edwards, J., Emes, R. D., Cobb, M. A., Mongan, N. P., & Rutland, C. S. (2015). A predictive model for canine dilated cardiomyopathy: a meta-analysis of Doberman Pinscher data. PeerJ, 3, Article e842. https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.842

Dilated cardiomyopathy is a prevalent and often fatal disease in humans and dogs. Indeed dilated cardiomyopathy is the third most common form of cardiac disease in humans, reported to affect approximately 36 individuals per 100,000 individuals. In do...

Computed tomography analysis of guinea pig bone: architecture, bone thickness and dimensions throughout development. (2014)
Journal Article
Witkowska, A., Alibhai, A., Hughes, C., Price, J., Klisch, K., Sturrock, C., & Rutland, C. S. (2014). Computed tomography analysis of guinea pig bone: architecture, bone thickness and dimensions throughout development. PeerJ, 2, Article e615. https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.615

The domestic guinea pig, Cavia aperea f. porcellus, belongs to the Caviidae family of rodents. It is an important species as a pet, a source of food and in medical research. Adult weight is achieved at 8-12 months and life expectancy is ∼5-6 years. O...

Journal Article
Rutland, C., Warner, L., Thorpe, A., Alibhai, A., Robinson, T., Shaw, B., …Loughna, S. (2009). Knockdown of alpha myosin heavy chain disrupts the cytoskeleton and leads to multiple defects during chick cardiogenesis.

Atrial septal defects are a common congenital heart defect in humans. Although mutations in different genes are now frequently being described, little is known about the processes and mechanisms behind the early stages of atrial septal development. B...
