Unravelling the temporal association between lameness and body condition score in dairy cattle using a multistate modelling approach (2015)
Journal Article
Lim, P., Huxley, J., Willshire, J., Green, M., Othman, A., & Kaler, J. (2015). Unravelling the temporal association between lameness and body condition score in dairy cattle using a multistate modelling approach. Preventive Veterinary Medicine, 118(4), 370-377. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prevetmed.2014.12.015

Recent studies have reported associations between lameness and body condition score (BCS) in dairy cattle, however the impact of change in the dynamics of BCS on both lameness occurrence and recovery is currently unknown. The aim of this study was to... Read More about Unravelling the temporal association between lameness and body condition score in dairy cattle using a multistate modelling approach.

Identification of morphological differences between avian influenza A viruses grown in chicken and duck cells (2015)
Journal Article
Al-Mubarak, F., Daly, J., Christie, D., Fountain, D., & Dunham, S. P. (2015). Identification of morphological differences between avian influenza A viruses grown in chicken and duck cells. Virus Research, 199, 9-19. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.virusres.2015.01.005

Although wild ducks are considered to be the major reservoirs for most influenza A virus subtypes, they are typically resistant to the effects of the infection. In contrast, certain influenza viruses may be highly pathogenic in other avian hosts such...

Low body condition predisposes cattle to lameness: An 8-year study of one dairy herd (2015)
Journal Article
Rndall, L., Green, M., Chagunda, M., Mason, C., Archer, S., Green, L., & Huxley, J. (2015). Low body condition predisposes cattle to lameness: An 8-year study of one dairy herd. Journal of Dairy Science, 98(6), https://doi.org/10.3168/jds.2014-8863

Lameness in dairy cows is a multifactorial and progressive disease with complex interactions between risk factors contributing to its occurrence. Detailed records were obtained from one United Kingdom dairy herd over an 8-yr period. Weekly locomotion...

Exploiting heterogeneous environments: does photosynthetic acclimation optimize carbon gain in fluctuating light? (2015)
Journal Article
Retkute, R., Smith-Unna, S. E., Smith, R. W., Burgess, A. J., Jensen, O. E., Johnson, G. N., …Murchie, E. H. (2015). Exploiting heterogeneous environments: does photosynthetic acclimation optimize carbon gain in fluctuating light?. Journal of Experimental Botany, 66(9), 2437-2447. https://doi.org/10.1093/jxb/erv055

Plants have evolved complex mechanisms to balance the efficient use of absorbed light energy in photosynthesis with the capacity to use that energy in assimilation, so avoiding potential damage from excess light. This is particularly important under... Read More about Exploiting heterogeneous environments: does photosynthetic acclimation optimize carbon gain in fluctuating light?.
