Veterinary Clinics of North America: Food Animal Practice, 2018 As an infectious, contagious pathogen, Salmonella is probably rivaled by only bovine viral diarrhea virus in its ability to cause clinical disease, such as enteritis, septicemia, pneumonia, and reproductive losses. The increasing prevalence of Salmonella, particularly Salmonella Dublin, on dairies presents new challenges to producers and veterinarians.

Estimating test-day milk yields by modeling proportional daily yields: Going beyond linearity
Journal of Dairy Science, 2023 : In the United States, lactation milk yields are not measured directly but are calculated from the test-day milk yields. Still, test-day milk yields are estimated from partial yields obtained from single milkings.
