The effect of paratuberculosis on milk yield—a systematic review and meta-analysis (2015)
Journal Article
McAloon, C. G., Whyte, P., More, S. J., Green, M. J., O’Grady, L., Garcia, A., & Doherty, M. L. (2016). The effect of paratuberculosis on milk yield—a systematic review and meta-analysis. Journal of Dairy Science, 99(2), https://doi.org/10.3168/jds.2015-10156

Bovine paratuberculosis is a disease characterized by chronic granulomatous enteritis causing protein-losing enteropathy. Adverse effects on animal productivity are key drivers in the attempt to control paratuberculosis at the farm level. Economic mo...

Using the incidence and impact of health conditions in guide dogs to investigate healthy ageing in working dogs (2015)
Journal Article
Caron-Lormier, G., England, G. C., Green, M. J., & Asher, L. (2016). Using the incidence and impact of health conditions in guide dogs to investigate healthy ageing in working dogs. Veterinary Journal, 207, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tvjl.2015.10.046

This study aimed to use retirement data from working guide dogs to investigate healthy ageing in dogs and the demographic factors that influence ageing. Using a dataset of 7686 dogs spanning 20 years, dogs withdrawn for health reasons before they rea...

Evaluation of the usefulness at national level of the dairy cattle health and production recording systems in Great Britain (2015)
Journal Article
Velasova, M., Drewe, J. A., Gibbons, J., Green, M. J., & Guitian, J. (in press). Evaluation of the usefulness at national level of the dairy cattle health and production recording systems in Great Britain. Veterinary Record, 177(12), 304. https://doi.org/10.1136/vr.103034

The aim of this study was to formally evaluate, qualitatively, the ability of existing recording systems to generate accurate and reliable estimates of the frequency of selected health conditions in the dairy herd of Great Britain. Fifty-nine recordi... Read More about Evaluation of the usefulness at national level of the dairy cattle health and production recording systems in Great Britain.

An investigation of the dynamics of intramammary infections acquired during the dry period on European dairy farms (2015)
Journal Article
Bradley, A. J., De Vliegher, S., Green, M. J., Larrosa, P., Payne, B., van de Leemput, E. S., …Goby, L. (2015). An investigation of the dynamics of intramammary infections acquired during the dry period on European dairy farms. Journal of Dairy Science, 98(9), https://doi.org/10.3168/jds.2014-8749

The dry period is acknowledged as playing a key role in mastitis epidemiology and yet surprisingly few studies have explored dry period infection dynamics in detail. The aim of this study was to investigate the dynamics of intramammary infection acro...

Low body condition predisposes cattle to lameness: An 8-year study of one dairy herd (2015)
Journal Article
Rndall, L., Green, M., Chagunda, M., Mason, C., Archer, S., Green, L., & Huxley, J. (2015). Low body condition predisposes cattle to lameness: An 8-year study of one dairy herd. Journal of Dairy Science, 98(6), https://doi.org/10.3168/jds.2014-8863

Lameness in dairy cows is a multifactorial and progressive disease with complex interactions between risk factors contributing to its occurrence. Detailed records were obtained from one United Kingdom dairy herd over an 8-yr period. Weekly locomotion...

Dairy herd mastitis and reproduction: using simulation to aid interpretation of results from discrete time survival analysis (2015)
Journal Article
Hudson, C. D., Bradley, A. J., Breen, J. E., & Green, M. J. (2015). Dairy herd mastitis and reproduction: using simulation to aid interpretation of results from discrete time survival analysis. Veterinary Journal, 204(1), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tvjl.2015.01.024

Probabilistic sensitivity analysis (PSA) is a simulation-based technique for evaluating the relative importance of different inputs to a complex process model. It is commonly employed in decision analysis and for evaluation of the potential impact of...
