The Effects of Diet on Anatomy, Physiology and Health in the Guinea Pig (2016)
Journal Article
Witkowska, A., Price, J., Hughes, C., Smith, D., White, K., Alibhai, A., & Rutland, C. S. (2017). The Effects of Diet on Anatomy, Physiology and Health in the Guinea Pig. Journal of Animal Health and Behavioural Science, 1(1), 1-6

Given the increasing popularity of the guinea pig as a pet, it is perhaps surprising that relatively little is published as to their husbandry and dietary requirements. Indeed, a review of the literature currently available to owners, scientists and... Read More about The Effects of Diet on Anatomy, Physiology and Health in the Guinea Pig.

Multiple genetic associations with Irish wolfhound dilated cardiomyopathy (2016)
Journal Article
Simpson, S., Dunning, M. D., Brownlie, S., Patel, J., Godden, M., Cobb, M., …Rutland, C. S. (2016). Multiple genetic associations with Irish wolfhound dilated cardiomyopathy. BioMed Research International, 2016(637408), https://doi.org/10.1155/2016/6374082

Cardiac disease is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in dogs and humans, with dilated cardiomyopathy being a large contributor to this. The Irish Wolfhound (IWH) is one of the most commonly affected breeds and one of the few breeds with gene...

Journal Article
Rutland, C. S., Dobbs, H., & Tötemeyer, S. (in press). How does student educational background affect transition into the first year of veterinary school? Academic performance and support needs in university education. Journal of Veterinary Medical Education, 43(4), https://doi.org/10.3138/jvme.0915-145R1

The first year of university is critical in shaping persistence decisions (whether students continue with and complete their degrees) and plays a formative role in influencing student attitudes and approaches to learning. Previous educational experie... Read More about How does student educational background affect transition into the first year of veterinary school?

Increased dietary protein in the second trimester of gestation increases live weight gain and carcass composition in weaner calves to 6 months of age (2016)
Journal Article
Miguel-Pacheco, G., Curtain, L., Rutland, C. S., Knott, L., Norman, S., Phillips, N., & Perry, V. (2017). Increased dietary protein in the second trimester of gestation increases live weight gain and carcass composition in weaner calves to 6 months of age. animal, 11(6), 991-999. https://doi.org/10.1017/S1751731116002330

Genetically similar nulliparous Polled Hereford heifers from a closed pedigree herd were used to evaluate the effects of dietary protein during the first and second trimester of gestation upon fetal, placental and postnatal growth. Heifers were rando... Read More about Increased dietary protein in the second trimester of gestation increases live weight gain and carcass composition in weaner calves to 6 months of age.

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.
