Journal Article
de Brot, S., Grau-Roma, L., Vidal, E., & Segalés, J. (2013). Occurrence of osteochondromatosis (multiple cartilaginous exostoses) in a domestic pig (Sus scrofa domesticus). Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation, 25(5), https://doi.org/10.1177/1040638713495545

Osteochondromatosis is a condition in which multiple benign, cartilage-capped tumors arise from the surface of bones formed by endochondral ossification. The current report describes the presence of 4 prominent exophytic masses, measuring between 4 a...

The occurrence ofAnaplasma phagocytophilumwas investigated in spleen and serum samplesfrom Swedish moose (Alces alces) in southern Sweden (island and mainland). Samples wereanalysed for presence ofA. phagocytophilumDNA by real-time PCR (n=263), and f...

The effect of spaying on the racing performance of female greyhounds (2013)
Journal Article
Payne, R. M. (2013). The effect of spaying on the racing performance of female greyhounds. Veterinary Journal, 198(2), 372-375. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tvjl.2013.08.026

The effect of spaying (ovariohysterectomy) on racing greyhound performance was analysed. Using data from a longitudinal observational study design, random effects models were used to compare the racing performance before and after spaying. Greyhounds...

Impact of lameness and claw lesions in cows on health and production (2013)
Journal Article
Huxley, J. (2013). Impact of lameness and claw lesions in cows on health and production. Livestock Science, 156(1-3), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.livsci.2013.06.012

Lameness is one of the most important endemic diseases of cattle, particularly in the dairy sector. It has a significant impact on health and welfare and leads to a range of production losses. This article reviews the English language peer reviewed l... Read More about Impact of lameness and claw lesions in cows on health and production.

Maternal fructose and/or salt intake and reproductive outcome in the rat: effects on growth, fertility, sex ratio, and birth order (2013)
Journal Article
Gray, C., Long, S., Green, C., Gardiner, S. M., Craigon, J., & Gardner, D. S. (2013). Maternal fructose and/or salt intake and reproductive outcome in the rat: effects on growth, fertility, sex ratio, and birth order. Biology of Reproduction, 89(3), Article 51. https://doi.org/10.1095/biolreprod.113.109595

Maternal diet can significantly skew the secondary sex ratio away from the expected value of 0.5 (proportion males), but the details of how diet may do this are unclear. Here, we altered dietary levels of salt (4% salt in the feed) and/or fructose (1...

Incidence, causes and outcomes of lameness cases in a working military horse population: a field study (2013)
Journal Article
Putnam, J., Holmes, L., Green, M. J., & Freeman, S. (2014). Incidence, causes and outcomes of lameness cases in a working military horse population: a field study. Equine Veterinary Journal, 46(2), https://doi.org/10.1111/evj.12084

Reasons for performing study: Lameness is a common problem in the horse. Despite this, information on the incidence of lameness in horses in the UK is restricted to studies of lameness in performance horses, racehorses or referral hospital population...

Excess maternal salt intake produces sex-specific hypertension in offspring: putative roles for kidney and gastrointestinal sodium handling (2013)
Journal Article
Gray, C., Al-Dujaili, E. A., Sparrow, A. J., Gardiner, S. M., Craigon, J., Welham, S. J., & Gardner, D. S. (2013). Excess maternal salt intake produces sex-specific hypertension in offspring: putative roles for kidney and gastrointestinal sodium handling. PLoS ONE, 8(8), Article e72682. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0072682

Hypertension is common and contributes, via cardiovascular disease, towards a large proportion of adult deaths in the Western World. High salt intake leads to high blood pressure, even when occurring prior to birth – a mechanism purported to reside i...
