Belgian bovine veterinarians' practices and opinions on udder health‐related antimicrobial use and services

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Changing legislation regarding antimicrobial consumption (AMC) forces Flemish bovine veterinary practitioners (BVP) to rethink their business models and shift their on‐farm practices from curative to preventive. However, little is known about their current practices and opinions regarding antibiotic stewardship, mastitis treatment ...

Factors Affecting Age at First Calving in Kankrej Cattle

Journal of Animal Research, 2016
The data of 35 years from 1980 to 2014 were analyzed to study the effect of genetic and non-genetic factors viz. period of calving, season of calving as fixed effect and sire as random effect on the reproduction trait (age at first calving) of Kankrej cattle maintained at Livestock Research Station, S.D.

Glacio-limnological interactions at lake-calving glaciers

, 2012
Iceberg calving is an efficient ablation process which introduces mechanical instability to glacier systems and can cause non-linear climatic response.

Assessing veterinary students’ attitudes towards pain in cattle before and after final‐year clinical training

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Cattle only show subtle signs of pain, making pain assessment difficult. The approach to pain and the use of analgesics depend on the treating person's experience and opinions. Methods Bavarian veterinary students were asked to answer two identical questionnaires before and after 12 weeks of clinical training in a ruminant clinic. A

Genetic and genomic evaluation of age at first calving in Italian Holsteins

Journal of Dairy Science
Age at first calving (AFC) represents the nonproductive period of ∼2 yr in Holstein cows, and thus, it has a relevant effect on the cost of rearing replacements in the dairy herd. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate genetic and genomic aspects of AFC in the Italian Holstein population.

A high‐altitude thermal infrared method for estimating moose abundance and demography in Rocky Mountain National Park, USA

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Resource managers require accurate estimates of large herbivore abundance and demography to maintain ecological integrity. Common methods to count these species, including observations from low altitude helicopter flights, may conflict with other protected area management objectives and struggle to produce precise estimates for more cryptic species. To

Micro‐habitat selection by boreal woodland caribou improves access to food

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Bio‐logging sensors attached to radiotelemetry receivers have great potential to transform our understanding of the ecological, physiological, and energetic constraints that shape patterns of wildlife movement under field conditions. We used video camera collars to assess microhabitat selectivity by woodland caribou Rangifer tarandus in boreal forests ...

Genetic improvement of cattle through field progeny testing programme: An evaluation of achievement

Indian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2018
Evaluation of bulls through progeny testing and their extensive use has been a major source of genetic improvement in dairy animals. Adequate numbers of progeny tested bulls are not available in India and whatever small numbers of bulls are progeny ...

DNA metabarcoding reveals wolf dietary patterns in the northern Alps and Jura Mountains

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding predator–prey interactions is crucial for wildlife management and human–wildlife coexistence, particularly in multi‐use landscapes such as western Europe. As wolves Canis lupus recolonize their former habitats, knowledge of their diet is essential for conservation, management and public acceptance.
