Luteal angiogenesis and its control (2016)
Journal Article
Woad, K. J., & Robinson, R. S. (2016). Luteal angiogenesis and its control. Theriogenology, 86(1), 221-228. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.theriogenology.2016.04.035

Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels from pre-existing ones, is critical to luteal structure and function; In addition, it is a complex and tightly regulated process. Not only does rapid and extensive angiogenesis occur to provide the cor... Read More about Luteal angiogenesis and its control.

Prediction of intramammary infection status across the dry period from lifetime cow records (2016)
Journal Article
Henderson, A., Hudson, C., Bradley, A. J., Sherwin, V., & Green, M. J. (2016). Prediction of intramammary infection status across the dry period from lifetime cow records. Journal of Dairy Science, 99(7), https://doi.org/10.3168/jds.2015-10684

The dry period is very important for mammary gland health, with the aim not only to cure existing intramammary infections (IMI) but also to prevent new IMI. Although it is known that the dry period is an important time for optimizing udder health, th...

The genomic architecture of resistance to Campylobacter jejuni intestinal colonisation in chickens (2016)
Journal Article
Psifidi, A., Fife, M., Howell, J., Matika, O., van Diemen, P., Kuo, R., …Kaiser, P. (2016). The genomic architecture of resistance to Campylobacter jejuni intestinal colonisation in chickens. BMC Genomics, 17(1), Article 293. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-016-2612-7

Campylobacter is the leading cause of foodborne diarrhoeal illness in humans and is mostly acquired from consumption or handling of contaminated poultry meat. In the absence of effective licensed vaccines and inhibitors, selection for chickens with i...

Mapping polyclonal antibody responses to bacterial infection using next generation phage display (2016)
Journal Article
Naqid, I. A., Owen, J. P., Maddison, B. C., Spiliotopoulos, A., Emes, R. D., Warry, A., …Gough, K. C. (2016). Mapping polyclonal antibody responses to bacterial infection using next generation phage display. Scientific Reports, 6, Article 24232. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep24232

Mapping polyclonal antibody responses to infectious diseases to identify individual epitopes has the potential to underpin the development of novel serological assays and vaccines. Here, phage-peptide library panning coupled with screening using next... Read More about Mapping polyclonal antibody responses to bacterial infection using next generation phage display.

Effects of lameness treatment for claw horn lesions on lying behaviour in dairy cows (2016)
Journal Article
Miguel-Pacheco, G. G., Thomas, H. J., Kaler, J., Craigon, J., & Huxley, J. N. (2016). Effects of lameness treatment for claw horn lesions on lying behaviour in dairy cows. Applied Animal Behaviour Science, 179, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.applanim.2016.04.001

Lameness affects lying behaviour in dairy cattle, increasing total lying time and the number of lying bouts. However, there is limited information about the effect of lameness treatment on dairy cow behaviour. This study investigated the effect of fo...

Small animal disease surveillance: respiratory disease (2016)
Journal Article
Sánchez-Vizcaíno, F., Daly, J. M., Jones, P. H., Dawson, S., Gaskell, R., Menacere, T., …Radford, A. D. (2016). Small animal disease surveillance: respiratory disease. Veterinary Record, 178(15), 361-364. https://doi.org/10.1136/vr.i1815

This second Small Animal Disease Surveillance report focuses on syndromic surveillance of i) respiratory disease in veterinary practice and ii) feline calicivirus (FCV) based on laboratory diagnosis, in a large veterinary-visiting pet population of t...

Polarisation of equine pregnancy outcome associated with a maternal MHC class I allele: preliminary evidence (2016)
Journal Article
Kydd, J. H. (2016). Polarisation of equine pregnancy outcome associated with a maternal MHC class I allele: preliminary evidence. Veterinary Microbiology, 188, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vetmic.2016.04.004

Identification of risk factors which are associated with severe clinical signs can assist in the management of disease outbreaks and indicate future research areas. Pregnancy loss during late gestation in the mare compromises welfare, reduces fecundi...

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.

Evaluation of semen collected from commercial rams by electro-ejaculation (2016)
Journal Article
Lovatt, F., Genever, L., Glover, M., & Henry, J. (2016). Evaluation of semen collected from commercial rams by electro-ejaculation. Veterinary Record, 178(14), 342-342. https://doi.org/10.1136/vr.103378

Annual ram pre-breeding soundness examinations (PBSE) are accepted as an integral component of veterinary flock health planning to identify rams not capable of achieving high conception rates. This preliminary study collected information from 280 ra... Read More about Evaluation of semen collected from commercial rams by electro-ejaculation.
