Vaccination can play a useful role in mastitis control programs, although there is a relative dearth of large, well-controlled field efficacy studies. This paper presents the findings on the use of a commercially available vaccine (Startvac, Hipra UK...

Dairy herd health is an important and universal topic in large animal veterinary practice and farming, covering both preventive medicine and health promotion. With the move towards large-scale farming, the health of the herd is important as an econom... Read More about Dairy herd health.

Associations between udder health and reproductive performance in United Kingdom dairy cows (2012)
Journal Article
Hudson, C., Bradley, A. J., Breen, J., & Green, M. J. (2012). Associations between udder health and reproductive performance in United Kingdom dairy cows. Journal of Dairy Science, 95(7), https://doi.org/10.3168/jds.2011-4629

The objective of this research was to evaluate the relationship between udder health and reproductive performance in UK dairy cows. Data from 80 herds were restructured such that each unit of data represented a 2-d period during lactation where a cow...

A comparison of broad-spectrum and narrow-spectrum dry cow therapy used alone and in combination with a teat sealant (2011)
Journal Article
Bradley, A. J., Breen, J., Payne, B., & Green, M. J. (2011). A comparison of broad-spectrum and narrow-spectrum dry cow therapy used alone and in combination with a teat sealant. Journal of Dairy Science, 94(2), https://doi.org/10.3168/jds.2010-3192

The dry period is a critical time in the lactation cycle, offering the optimum time for cure of existing intramammary infection (IMI), while also encompassing the periods of highest susceptibility to new intramammary infection. Until recent years, in... Read More about A comparison of broad-spectrum and narrow-spectrum dry cow therapy used alone and in combination with a teat sealant.

Bayesian analysis of a mastitis control plan to investigate the influence of veterinary prior beliefs on clinical interpretation (2009)
Journal Article
Green, M. J., Browne, W. J., Green, L., Bradley, A. J., Leach, K., Breen, J., & Medley, G. F. (2009). Bayesian analysis of a mastitis control plan to investigate the influence of veterinary prior beliefs on clinical interpretation. Preventive Veterinary Medicine, 91(2-4), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prevetmed.2009.05.029

The fundamental objective for health research is to determine whether changes should be made to clinical decisions. Decisions made by veterinary surgeons in the light of new research evidence are known to be influenced by their prior beliefs, especia...
