MHCY is a candidate region for influencing immune responses in chickens. MHCY contains multiple specialized, polymorphic MHC class I loci along with loci belonging to 4 additional gene families. In this study, MHCY haplotypes were tested for associat...

Genetic parameters and genome-wide association study of digital cushion thickness in Holstein cows (2022)
Journal Article
Barden, M., Li, B., Griffiths, B., Anagnostopoulos, A., Bedford, C., Psifidi, A., Banos, G., & Oikonomou, G. (2022). Genetic parameters and genome-wide association study of digital cushion thickness in Holstein cows. Journal of Dairy Science, 105(10), 8237-8256. https://doi.org/10.3168/jds.2022-22035

The digital cushion is linked to the development of claw horn lesions (CHL) in dairy cattle. The objectives of this study were to (1) estimate genetic parameters for digital cushion thickness (DCT), (2) estimate the genetic correlation between DCT an...

Prospective cohort study of the association between early lactation mastitis and the presence of sole ulcers in dairy cows (2022)
Journal Article
Watson, C., Barden, M., Griffiths, B., Anagnostopoulos, A., Higgins, H., Bedford, C., Carter, S., Psifidi, A., Banos, G., & Oikonomou, G. (2022). Prospective cohort study of the association between early lactation mastitis and the presence of sole ulcers in dairy cows. Veterinary Record, https://doi.org/10.1002/vetr.1387

Background The objective of this study was to investigate the association between (sub)clinical mastitis (CM) in the first 30 days in milk (DIM) and the presence of sole ulcers (SU) later in lactation. Methods Holstein cows and heifers were examined... Read More about Prospective cohort study of the association between early lactation mastitis and the presence of sole ulcers in dairy cows.
