Factors associated with the reproductive performance of ewes inseminated laparoscopically in England and Wales: A longitudinal study

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Laparoscopic intrauterine artificial insemination (Lap‐AI) is used in sheep genetic improvement programmes. However, the lambing rate (LR) (i.e., the proportion of inseminated ewes that lamb) following Lap‐AI is variable. Previously, one small UK study investigated factors associated with LR, but it did not adjust for dependencies ...

FEC Check: Development of a decision support tool to aid interpretation of gastrointestinal nematode faecal egg counts in sheep

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Gastrointestinal nematode infections are ubiquitous in grazing livestock worldwide impacting animal health and production. Faecal egg count (FEC) is an accessible diagnostic test that can guide the need for treatment. However, interpretation of FECs can be challenging.

Injectable diphenyl diselenide supplementation in dairy sheep

Revista MVZ Córdoba, 2018
Objective. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of subcutaneous supplementation with diphenyl diselenide ((PhSe)2) in dairy sheep infected with gastrointestinal nematodes on animal health and possible damage to environment when the feces of these animals will be used for fertilizing. Materials and methods.

Evaluation of a rapid method for measuring lactate in the venous blood of ruminants

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background In cattle and small ruminants, blood lactate can predict recovery and survival in various diseases. Increased lactate concentration is associated with an unfavourable‐to‐poor prognosis. Different mobile rapid lactate measurement devices have been explored in different animal species.

Modeling Greenhouse Gas Emissions on Diversified Farms: The Case of Dairy Sheep Farming in Greece [PDF]

Agricultural activity has been identified as a considerable source of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. Emissions from ruminant livestock farms are produced particularly due to CH4 emissions from enteric fermentation.

Risk factors for human brucellosis in northern Tanzania [PDF]

, 2018
Little is known about the epidemiology of human brucellosis in sub-Saharan Africa. This hampers prevention and control efforts at the individual and population levels. To evaluate risk factors for brucellosis in northern Tanzania, we conducted a study of

Reusing health records from farm animal practices at scale: A potential complementary method of surveillance

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Disease in primary care frequently represents a surveillance blind spot, particularly for diseases affecting farm animals. Methods Electronic health records (EHRs) were collected from four farm animal veterinary practices in Wales (February 2024‒January 2025) as part of a pilot study.
