A case of bovine erythropoietic protoporphyria in a female Limousin calf (2024)
Journal Article
CAPUZZELLO, G., Kaczmarska, A., Gutierrez Quintana, R., Jonsson, N. N., & Viora, L. (2024). A case of bovine erythropoietic protoporphyria in a female Limousin calf. Large Animal Review, 30(5), 223-226

Bovine erythropoietic protoporphyria (BCEPP) is a rare genetic disorder predominantly affecting Limousin and, sporadically, Blonde Aquitaine cattle. It arises from diminished or absent ferrochelatase activity, causing the toxic build up of protoporph... Read More about A case of bovine erythropoietic protoporphyria in a female Limousin calf.

Evaluation of an indwelling bolus equipped with a triaxial accelerometer for the characterisation of the diurnal pattern of bovine reticuloruminal contractions (2023)
Journal Article
Capuzzello, G., Viora, L., Borelli, E., & N. Jonsson, N. (2023). Evaluation of an indwelling bolus equipped with a triaxial accelerometer for the characterisation of the diurnal pattern of bovine reticuloruminal contractions. Journal of Dairy Research, 90(1), 9-15. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0022029923000134

This observational study aimed to describe the diurnal pattern of reticuloruminal contraction rate (RRCR) and the proportion of time spent ruminating by cattle, using two commercial devices equipped with triaxial accelerometers: an indwelling bolus (...

Background
Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) is a congenital syndrome of mammals affecting organs and tissues of ectodermal origin characterized by absence or hypoplasia of hair, teeth, and eccrine glands. The disorder has been reported in sev... Read More about A large deletion encompassing exon 2 of the ectodysplasin A (EDA) gene in a British blue crossbred calf with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia.
