COW-CALF PRODUCERS' PERCEIVED PROFIT MAXIMIZATION OBJECTIVE: A LOGIT ANALYSIS [PDF]
A logistic regression (logit) model was developed to examine how socioeconomic characteristics of cow-calf producers influenced their perceptions of themselves as profit maximizers.

Impact of early social housing on the play behavior of neonatal and post-weaning dairy calves
Frontiers in Veterinary ScienceWe aimed to assess the impact of early life housing and play experiences on neonatal and weaned calves play behavior. A total of 96 female dairy calves were recruited from four Scottish dairy farms and assigned to individual (n = 48), paired (n = 24) or ...

Using Aerial Photogrammetry to Estimate Body Condition and Assess Sexual Dimorphism in Narwhals
Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.ABSTRACT The Arctic is warming rapidly, impacting ice‐dependent species and communities that rely on them for resources. Body condition indices (BCI) are widely used to assess individual health within populations. We adapted the methodology to improve accessibility for estimating narwhal body condition from drone footage, using body length, body width,

Congenital Liver Cyst in a Neonatal Calf
Case Reports in Veterinary Medicine, 2013 Congenital serous cysts attached to the liver capsule are usually small and multiple, but can be solitary, grow extremely large, and become symptomatic. They are considered rare incidental findings during laparotomies or necropsies and thier occurrence ...

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.ABSTRACT Drone photogrammetry provides a minimally invasive morphometric tool to assess growth and energy reserve in marine mammals. Converting drone‐derived measurements (e.g., body width) into body condition indices (BCIs, residuals from expected body girth, volume, or mass) requires prior knowledge of normative body shape. We developed and validated

Plasma Lipoproteins in Neonatal, Preruminant, and Weaned Calf
Journal of Dairy Science, 1988 This study compared plasma lipoprotein fraction profiles and lipid composition in the calf at 3 d, 3 wk, and 12 wk (weaned). For all ages the major plasma lipoprotein fraction was high density lipoproteins (52 to 73%), followed by very high density lipoproteins (10 to 22%), low density lipoproteins (13 to 18%), and chylomicrons plus very low density ...

Veterinary Record, Volume 199, Issue 6, Page e262-e271, 19/26 September 2026.Abstract Background Updated targets for measuring transfer of passive immunity (TPI) at the herd level have been suggested, but the current performance of dairy herds in Great Britain is unknown. Methods A cross‐sectional study was performed. Serum total protein (STP) data collected between October 2022 and October 2023 by 21 veterinary practices were ...

Current insights into neonatal calf diarrheal etiology and the therapeutic role of probiotics
Journal of Integrative AgricultureNeonatal calves exhibit heightened susceptibility to infections caused by various gut microbiota, primarily due to their immature gastrointestinal barrier functions and underdeveloped immune systems during the pre-weaning period.
