On-farm methane measurements during milking correlate with total methane production by individual dairy cows (2012)
Journal Article

The objective of this study was to investigate whether measurement of methane emissions by individual dairy cows during milking could provide a useful technique for monitoring on-farm methane emissions. To quantify methane emissions from individual c... Read More about On-farm methane measurements during milking correlate with total methane production by individual dairy cows.

Variation among individual dairy cows in methane measurements made on farm during milking (2012)
Journal Article

The objective of this study was to quantify on-farm variation between and within cows in methane emissions measured during milking, and to determine which factors are related to this variation. Methane emission rate during milking (MERm) was recorded... Read More about Variation among individual dairy cows in methane measurements made on farm during milking.

Mechanical properties of the bovine claw horn during lactation (2012)
Journal Article

Claw horn disorders are one of the main causes of lameness in dairy cows globally. This study aimed to develop material testing techniques to assess changes in the mechanical properties of bovine claw horn (BCH) and to compare these mechanical proper...

Biosecurity on cattle farms: a study in North-West England (2012)
Journal Article

Background: Few studies have considered in detail the range of biosecurity practices undertaken on cattle farms, particularly within the UK. In this study, 56 cattle farmers in a 100 km2 area of north-west England were questioned regarding their on-f... Read More about Biosecurity on cattle farms: a study in North-West England.
