Journal Article
Hyde, R. M., Green, M. J., Hudson, C., & Down, P. M. (2022). Improving growth rates in preweaning calves on dairy farms: A randomized controlled trial. Journal of Dairy Science, 105(1), 782-792. https://doi.org/10.3168/jds.2021-20947

Previous research has identified key factors associated with improved average daily gain (ADG) in preweaning dairy calves and these factors have been combined to create a web app–based calf health plan (www.nottingham.ac.uk/herdhealthtoolkit). A rand... Read More about Improving growth rates in preweaning calves on dairy farms: A randomized controlled trial.

Practical data skills for the farm animal vet (2021)
Journal Article
Hyde, R., Green, M., Hudson, C., & Remnant, J. (2021). Practical data skills for the farm animal vet. In Practice, 43(5), 257-268. https://doi.org/10.1002/inpr.53

Background: While farm animal veterinarians receive extensive training in the diagnosis and treatment of individual animals, population medicine or ‘herd health’ has also become commonplace in modern production animal veterinary medicine. Clinicians... Read More about Practical data skills for the farm animal vet.

Factors associated with daily weight gain in preweaned calves on dairy farms (2021)
Journal Article
Down, P. M., Hudson, C., Green, M. J., & Hyde, R. M. (2021). Factors associated with daily weight gain in preweaned calves on dairy farms. Preventive Veterinary Medicine, 190, Article 105320. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prevetmed.2021.105320

The preweaning period is vital in the development of calves on dairy farms and improving daily liveweight gain (DLWG) is important to both financial and carbon efficiency; minimising rearing costs and improving first lactation milk yields. In order t... Read More about Factors associated with daily weight gain in preweaned calves on dairy farms.
