Algherair, I., Garnsworthy, P., Margerison, J., & Mann, G. (2021). 164 Effect of atypical reproductive cycles on key performance indicators of reproductive efficiency in Holstein Friesian dairy cattle. Animal - Science proceedings, 12(1), 134. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anscip.2021.03.165

Good reproductive performance is essential to the economic efficiency of dairy production. Previous studies reported that 31 to 46% of dairy cattle had reproductive problems [1]. However, few studies have assessed reproductive cycle length of high yi...

110. Effect of oligosaccharides on calf health, antimicrobial use, live-weight gain, feed intake and feed efficiency of dairy bred calves (2021)
Journal Article
Margerison, J., & Farnan, K. (2021). 110. Effect of oligosaccharides on calf health, antimicrobial use, live-weight gain, feed intake and feed efficiency of dairy bred calves. Animal - Science proceedings, 12(1), 89. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anscip.2021.03.111

Morbidity in young calves is largely attributed to enteric disorders and respiratory disease [1] and antimicrobials are an integral part of livestock production. However, human mortality due to antimi-crobial resistant (AMR) bacteria is projected to... Read More about 110.

108. Effect of environmental enrichment on feed intake, feed efficiency and cross-sucking of dairy bred calves offered high amounts of milk replacer twice daily (2021)
Journal Article
Margerison, J., & Hemmingway-Wood O'Dell, M. (2021). 108. Effect of environmental enrichment on feed intake, feed efficiency and cross-sucking of dairy bred calves offered high amounts of milk replacer twice daily. Animal - Science proceedings, 12(1), 87

Application: Cross sucking (CS) was almost eliminated in calves reared in pairs by bedding calves with straw directly following milk feeding, while feed efficiency (FE) was not affected. Artificially reared calves commonly suck each other following... Read More about 108.
