Journal Article
Sauter-Louis, C., Jones, B. A., Henning, J., Stoll, A., Nielen, M., Van Schaik, G., …Pfeiffer, D. U. (2017). Herd-level animal management factors associated with the occurrence of bovine neonatal pancytopenia in calves in a multicountry study. PLoS ONE, 12(7), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0179878

Since 2007, mortality associated with a previously unreported haemorrhagic disease has been observed in young calves in several European countries. The syndrome, which has been named ‘bovine neonatal pancytopenia’ (BNP), is characterised by thrombocy...
