A novel kirkovirus may be associated with equine gastrointestinal disease

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Many cases of equine enterocolitis are suspected to be infectious in nature, but no pathogen is identified in many cases. Objectives Perform next‐generation sequencing on faeces collected from cases of equine enterocolitis for the presence of novel viruses and determine if an identified novel virus is associated with cases of equine

Arthropod niche differentiation linked to grazing‐induced sward islets in intensively managed agricultural pasture

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
In a given number of samples, grassland sward islets contain more species of arthropods than the surrounding sward. When corrected for abundance, there is no difference in species richness, suggesting that the effect of islets might purely be to concentrate arthropods. The community structure differences indicated by non‐metric multidimensional scaling

Permissible Purchasing, Obligatory Abstention: The Strict Vegan Case against New Omnivorism

open access: yesJournal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent developments in consumer ethics have given rise to a new breed of animal protectionist: the new omnivore. These new wave animal protectionists claim that strict veganism is impermissible for the very reason that typically motivates strict veganism; that is, animal protectionism.

Unravelling Twin Births in German Holstein Cows: Phenotypic Associations, Genetic Analysis and Potential Underlying Genes and Hormones

open access: yesJournal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Twin births in dairy cattle are rare but present significant challenges for animal welfare, as both the health of the cow and the calves are affected. This causes economic losses, which prompts breeders to select against twin births and identify associated risk factors.

"Teat condition in dairy cows"

open access: yes, 2004
The dairy cow's teat is the first line of defence against mastitis pathogens. The milking process may affect the teat's condition, increasing the risk of mastitis. It is well-proven that teat-ends with severe erosions or broken skin will have an increased risk of mastitis.

Single‐Step Genomic Predictions for Growth and Carcass Traits in Nordic Charolais and Hereford Cattle

open access: yesJournal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In order to investigate the applicability and efficiency of genomic selection for growth and carcass traits in Nordic beef cattle, single‐step genomic BLUP (ssGBLUP) was applied in 4321 Charolais and 4532 Hereford animals with information on approximately 43,000 SNPs each.
