A Bayesian micro-simulation to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of interventions for mastitis control during the dry period in UK dairy herds (2016)
Journal Article
Down, P., Bradley, A., Breen, J., Browne, W., Kypraios, T., & Green, M. (2016). A Bayesian micro-simulation to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of interventions for mastitis control during the dry period in UK dairy herds. Preventive Veterinary Medicine, 133, 64-72. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prevetmed.2016.09.012

Importance of the dry period with respect to mastitis control is now well established although the precise interventions that reduce the risk of acquiring intramammary infections during this time are not clearly understood. There are very few interve... Read More about A Bayesian micro-simulation to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of interventions for mastitis control during the dry period in UK dairy herds.

SimiVal, a multi-criteria map comparison tool for land-change model projections (2016)
Journal Article
Bradley, A. V., Rosa, I. M., Pontius, R. G., Ahmed, S. E., Araújo, M. B., Brown, D. G., …Ewers, R. M. (2016). SimiVal, a multi-criteria map comparison tool for land-change model projections. Environmental Modelling and Software, 82, 229-240. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envsoft.2016.04.016

The multiple uses of land-cover models have led to validation with choice metrics or an ad hoc choice of the validation metrics available. To address this, we have identified the major dimensions of land-cover maps that ought to be evaluated and devi...

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...
