Low accuracy of Bayesian latent class analysis for estimation of herd-level true prevalence under certain disease characteristics—An analysis using simulated data. Preventive Veterinary Medicine, 162, 117-125. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prevetmed.2018.11.014

Estimation of the true prevalence of infected individuals involves the application of a diagnostic test to a population and adjusting according to test performance, sensitivity and specificity. Bayesian latent class analysis for the estimation of her...

Discrimination of contagious and environmental strains of Streptococcus uberis in dairy herds by means of mass spectrometry and machine-learning (2018)
Journal Article
Esener, N., Green, M. J., Emes, R. D., Jowett, B., Davies, P. L., Bradley, A. J., & Dottorini, T. (2018). Discrimination of contagious and environmental strains of Streptococcus uberis in dairy herds by means of mass spectrometry and machine-learning. Scientific Reports, 8(1), Article 17517. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-018-35867-6

Streptococcus uberis is one of the most common pathogens of clinical mastitis in the dairy industry. Knowledge of pathogen transmission route is essential for the selection of the most suitable intervention. Here we show that spectral profiles acquir...

Associations between routinely collected dairy herd improvement data and insemination outcome in UK dairy herds (2018)
Journal Article
HUDSON, C., & GREEN, M. (2018). Associations between routinely collected dairy herd improvement data and insemination outcome in UK dairy herds. Journal of Dairy Science, 101(12), 11262-11274. https://doi.org/10.3168/jds.2017-13962

Milk constituent concentrations in samples taken during early lactation are often used to generate proxy measures for energy balance in dairy herds. This study aimed to explore associations between these and other measures routinely recorded by dairy...

Use of statistical modelling to investigate the pathogenesis of claw horn disruption lesions in dairy cattle (2018)
Journal Article
Randall, L., Green, M., & Huxley, J. (2018). Use of statistical modelling to investigate the pathogenesis of claw horn disruption lesions in dairy cattle. Veterinary Journal, 238, 41-48. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tvjl.2018.07.002

Claw horn disruption lesions (CHDLs) in dairy cattle account for a large proportion of lameness. The aim of this review is to provide an update on the evidence surrounding the pathogenesis of CHDLs, in the context of how statistical modelling has con...

Short- and long-term association between individual levels of milk antibody against Ostertagia ostertagi and first-lactation heifer’s production performances (2018)
Journal Article
Bellet, C., Green, M., Bradley, A., & Kaler, J. (2018). Short- and long-term association between individual levels of milk antibody against Ostertagia ostertagi and first-lactation heifer’s production performances. Veterinary Parasitology, 256, 1-8. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vetpar.2018.04.008

It is agreed that exposure of adult dairy cattle to helminths on pasture can negatively affect production performances as milking herd. Young animals, especially replacement heifers, represent the future of a dairy farm and are among the most vulnera...

Associations between dairy cow inter-service interval and probability of conception (2018)
Journal Article
Remnant, J., Green, M., Huxley, J., & Hudson, C. (2018). Associations between dairy cow inter-service interval and probability of conception. Theriogenology, 114, 324-329. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.theriogenology.2018.03.029

Recent research has indicated that the interval between inseminations in modern dairy cattle is often longer than the commonly accepted cycle length of 18–24 days. This study analysed 257,396 inseminations in 75,745 cows from 312 herds in England and... Read More about Associations between dairy cow inter-service interval and probability of conception.
