Association between somatic cell count after first parturition and cumulative milk yield in dairy cows (2013)
Journal Article
The aim was to assess the association between the somatic cell count of parity 1 cows between 5 and 30 days in milk (SCC1), and subsequent cumulative milk yield over approximately two years for cows in English and Welsh dairy herds. The dataset inclu... Read More about Association between somatic cell count after first parturition and cumulative milk yield in dairy cows.
Rate of transmission: a major determinant of the cost of clinical mastitis (2013)
Journal Article
The aim of this research was to use probabilistic sensitivity analysis to evaluate the relative importance of different components of a model designed to estimate the cost of clinical mastitis (CM). A particular focus was placed on the importance... Read More about Rate of transmission: a major determinant of the cost of clinical mastitis.
Incidence, causes and outcomes of lameness cases in a working military horse population: a field study (2013)
Journal Article
Reasons for performing study: Lameness is a common problem in the horse. Despite this, information on the incidence of lameness in horses in the UK is restricted to studies of lameness in performance horses, racehorses or referral hospital population...

Proactive dairy cattle disease control in the UK: veterinary surgeons' involvement and associated characteristics (2013)
Journal Article
Characteristics of 94 veterinary surgeons associated with delivering preventive herd-level strategies to control mastitis, lameness and Johne's disease were investigated using two multinomial models. The response variables were ‘Gold Standard Monitor... Read More about Proactive dairy cattle disease control in the UK: veterinary surgeons' involvement and associated characteristics.
Association between somatic cell count early in the first lactation and the longevity of Irish dairy cows (2013)
Journal Article
Reduced longevity of cows is an important component of mastitis costs, and increased somatic cell count (SCC) early in the first lactation has been reported to increase culling risk throughout the first lactation. Generally, cows must survive beyond... Read More about Association between somatic cell count early in the first lactation and the longevity of Irish dairy cows.
Effect of extended cefquinome treatment on clinical persistence or recurrence of environmental clinical mastitis (2013)
Journal Article
The effectiveness of antibiotic treatment of clinical mastitis (CM) is classically evaluated using bacteriological cure, which provides a concise and objective way of assessing efficacy but does not reflect the situation in the field where persistenc...

How does reviewing the evidence change veterinary surgeons’ beliefs regarding the treatment of ovine footrot?: a quantitative and qualitative study (2013)
Journal Article
Footrot is a widespread, infectious cause of lameness in sheep, with major economic and welfare costs. The aims of this research were: (i) to quantify how veterinary surgeons’ beliefs regarding the efficacy of two treatments for footrot changed follo...

Using hormones to manage dairy cow fertility: the clinical and ethical beliefs of veterinary practitioners (2013)
Journal Article
In the face of a steady decline in dairy cow fertility over several decades, using hormones to assist reproduction has become common. In the European Union, hormones are prescription-only medicines, giving veterinary practitioners a central role in t...

Prevalence and effect of uterine luminal free fluid on pregnancy and litter size in bitches (2013)
Journal Article
Association between somatic cell count early in the first lactation and the lifetime milk yield of cows in Irish dairy herds (2013)
Journal Article
Change in lifetime milk yield is an important component of the cost of diseases in dairy cows. Knowledge of the likelihood and scale of potential savings through disease prevention measures is important to evaluate how much expenditure on control mea...

Temporal associations between low body condition, lameness and milk yield in a UK dairy herd (2013)
Journal Article
Previous work has hypothesised that cows in low body condition become lame. We tested this in a prospective longitudinal study. Body condition score (BCS), causes of lameness and milk yield were collected from a 600-cow herd over 44-months. Mixed eff...

Association of season and herd size with somatic cell count for cows in Irish,English, and Welsh dairy herds (2013)
Journal Article
The aims of this study were to describe associations of time of year, and herd size with cow somatic cell count (SCC) for Irish, English, and Welsh dairy herds. Random samples of 497 and 493 Irish herds, and two samples of 200 English and Welsh (UK)...
