Validation of a stall‐side immunoglobulin assay for use in equine reproductive management

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Equine foals receive IgG from mare colostrum through passive transfer. Failure of passive transfer (FPT) is a significant risk to the foal's life, leaving them vulnerable to infection and sepsis. Radial Immunodiffusion (RID) and immunoturbidimetric assays quantify IgG present in a foal sample but require a laboratory to complete ...

Single‐stage orthognathic correction of campylorrhinus lateralis in foals using transection and fixation: Surgical description and outcome of four horses

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Campylorrhinus lateralis (‘wry nose’) is a rare congenital maxillofacial deformity of foals resulting in compromise of the airway and severe class 4 malocclusion. Various surgical techniques to correct the deformity have been described, but contemporary data on single‐stage transection and fixation, including use of a rib graft, and

Haemolysis and Perturbations in the Systemic Iron Metabolism of Suckling, Copper-Deficient Mosaic Mutant Mice – An Animal Model of Menkes Disease

PLoS ONE, 2014
The biological interaction between copper and iron is best exemplified by the decreased activity of multicopper ferroxidases under conditions of copper deficiency that limits the availability of iron for erythropoiesis. However, little is known about how copper deficiency affects iron homeostasis through alteration of the activity of other copper ...

Harnessing microbial metabolism and nutrition to target the gut–mammary axis for better livestock production and health

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
The gut–mammary axis integrates intestinal health with mammary function through neural, endocrine, and immune pathways. Nutritional interventions (probiotics, prebiotics, metabolites) improve gut microecology, generating microbial signals that travel via the axis to the mammary gland. There, they relieve inflammation, enhance milk quality and lactation,

Lactation, Childrearing, and Gender Justice

Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this article, I discuss the significance of early infant feeding choices for the goal of gender justice. Focusing on human lactation practices, I identify Exclusive Gestational Nursing (EGN) as the norm in advanced industrial societies, which creates the expectation and permission for gestators, and only gestators, to nurse children, and ...

Mother Earth: Climate Justice, Infant Feeding Decisions, and Intimacy

Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human infants require milk. This can be parental milk provided directly from the parent's body (known as breastfeeding, chestfeeding, or nursing), expressed human milk, or infant formula milk. This article contributes to the literature on the ethics of infant feeding in two ways. First, it brings recent research on the climate impact of infant
