Estimating the seroprevalence of Mycobacterium bovis infection in a wild deer population in southwest England

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background In England, transmission of Mycobacterium bovis between cattle and certain species of free‐roaming, wild deer has been implicated in some endemic bovine tuberculosis (bTB) regions. However, there are still data and knowledge gaps regarding the role of deer in the epidemiology of this disease.

Modification and expansion of existing body condition scoring scales for rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) improves inter‐rater reliability when used by experienced raters

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Reliable body condition scoring in rabbits is essential in managing healthy bodyweight. The commonly used Rabbit size‐o‐meter (RSOM) has shown poor inter‐rater reliability, particularly among inexperienced raters. This study aimed to develop a reliable, reproducible body condition scoring scale for companion rabbits across breeds ...

Abstract Background Ensuring livestock welfare throughout the production chain, including transport, is an ethical and regulatory imperative. However, protocols to assess transport‐related welfare during routine abattoir inspections are not standardised, including antemortem (AM) inspection by an official veterinarian at UK abattoirs.

Dietary shift of the common leopard Panthera pardus in and around Bani Wildlife Sanctuary, western Himalayas: implications for conservation and human–wildlife conflict

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding the dietary patterns of apex predator like the common leopard Panthera pardus is essential for evaluating their ecological role, particularly in landscapes where human–wildlife conflict is prevalent. In this context, this study investigates the seasonal diet composition of the common leopard in and around the Bani Wildlife Sanctuary, a ...

Are human‐altered landscapes reshaping carnivore niche spaces in the Trans‐Himalaya?

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding carnivore interactions under growing human pressures is crucial for conservation. We examined spatial and temporal niche structuring among snow leopards Panthera uncia, Himalayan wolves Canis lupus chanco, and red foxes Vulpes vulpes; while also incorporating free‐ranging dogs Canis lupus familiaris as a human‐subsidized mesopredator ...
