Effects of Calving Season on Stocker and Feedlot Performance

The Professional Animal Scientist, 2006
Abstract In environments where cool-season forages are the major forage resource, shifting calving season from winter to spring may match up forage nutrient supply with animal nutrient demands and thereby reduce purchased feed cost. However, calf BW at weaning in the fall may be less.

Accounting for animal health in efficiency analysis: An application to Swedish dairy farms

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Poor animal health is a central concern in modern livestock production. Despite the necessity to incorporate animal health in efficiency analysis, the theoretical and empirical developments are limited on this subject. This article appropriately characterizes the axiomatic properties of animal health within a production framework.

Diagnosis of bacteraemia in neonatal foals using 16S rRNA high‐throughput sequencing

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Sepsis is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in foals. Early diagnosis can improve outcome but is complicated by non‐specific clinical signs and delayed confirmation of infection via blood culture. Molecular assays represent a rapid and more sensitive alternative.

SEASONAL DYNAMICS OF CRYPTOSPORIDIOSIS INFECTION FROM CALVES

THEORY AND PRACTICE OF PARASITIC DISEASE CONTROL, 2019
The analysis of degree of contamination of cattle of a protozooses on farms of the Udmurt Republic revealed a tendency to increase an invasion of animals the Cryptosporidium parvum pathogen. The presence of pathogen associations makes it difficult to detect a specific representative of the variety of parasitic diseases.
