Molecular epidemiology of Streptococcus uberis clinical mastitis in dairy herds: strain heterogeneity and transmission (2015)
Journal Article
Davies, P., Archer, S. C., Emes, R. D., Bradley, A. J., Leigh, J., & Green, M. J. (2016). Molecular epidemiology of Streptococcus uberis clinical mastitis in dairy herds: strain heterogeneity and transmission. Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 54(1), https://doi.org/10.1128/JCM.01583-15

Multi Locus Sequence Typing was successfully completed on 494 isolates of S. uberis from clinical mastitis cases in a study of 52 commercial dairy herds over a 12 month period. In total, 195 sequence types (STs) were identified. S. uberis mastitis ca...

Recycling manure as cow bedding: potential benefits and risks for UK dairy farms (2015)
Journal Article
Lech, K. A., Archer, S. C., Breen, J. E., Green, M. J., Ohnstad, I. C., Tuer, S., & Bradley, A. J. (in press). Recycling manure as cow bedding: potential benefits and risks for UK dairy farms. Veterinary Journal, 206(2), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tvjl.2015.08.013

Material obtained from physical separation of slurry (recycled manure solids; RMS) has been used as bedding for dairy cows in dry climates in the US since the 1970s. Relatively recently, the technical ability to produce drier material has led to adop... Read More about Recycling manure as cow bedding: potential benefits and risks for UK dairy farms.

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...

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...
