Continuing professional development: learning that leads to change in individual and collective clinical practice (2015)
Journal Article
May, S. A., & Kinnison, T. (2015). Continuing professional development: learning that leads to change in individual and collective clinical practice. Veterinary Record, 177(1), 13-13. https://doi.org/10.1136/vr.103109

The lack of effectiveness of traditional models of continuing professional development is increasingly recognised. While they can lead to increased knowledge of participants, research suggests that there is a general failure to produce meaningful and...

Epithelial cell shedding and barrier function: a matter of life and death at the small intestinal villus tip (2015)
Journal Article
Williams, J. M., Duckworth, C. A., Burkitt, M. D., Watson, A. J., Campbell, B. J., & Pritchard, D. M. (2015). Epithelial cell shedding and barrier function: a matter of life and death at the small intestinal villus tip. Veterinary Pathology, 523(3), 445-55. https://doi.org/10.1177/0300985814559404

The intestinal epithelium is a critical component of the gut barrier. Composed of a single layer of intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) held together by tight junctions, this delicate structure prevents the transfer of harmful microorganisms, antigens...

Challenges of pastoral cattle production in a sub-humid zone of Nigeria (2015)
Journal Article
Suleiman, A., Jackson, E. L., & Rushton, J. (2015). Challenges of pastoral cattle production in a sub-humid zone of Nigeria. Tropical Animal Health and Production, 47(6), 1177-85. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11250-015-0845-0

More than 80 % of the 20 million heads of Nigerian cattle are kept by pastoral households. As such, optimal herd management is important in maintaining human nutrition, livelihoods and socio-cultural balance. This study was conducted to contribute to...
