Epigallocatechin-3-gallate protects bovine ruminal epithelial cells against lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammatory damage by activating autophagy (2024)
Journal Article
Zhao, W., Shen, T., Zhao, B., Li, M., Deng, Z., Huo, Y., Aernouts, B., Loor, J., Psifidi, A., & Xu, C. (2024). Epigallocatechin-3-gallate protects bovine ruminal epithelial cells against lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammatory damage by activating autophagy. Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 15(1), https://doi.org/10.1186/s40104-024-01066-9

BackgroundSubacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) causes an increase in endotoxin, which can induce immune and inflammatory responses in the ruminal epithelium of dairy cows. In non-ruminants, epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a major bioactive ingredient...

Characterisation of phenotypic patterns in equine exercise-associated myopathies (2024)
Journal Article
Lindsay-McGee, V., Massey, C., Li, Y., Clark, E., Psifidi, A., & Piercy, R. (2024). Characterisation of phenotypic patterns in equine exercise-associated myopathies. Equine Veterinary Journal, https://doi.org/10.1111/evj.14128

Background Equine exercise-associated myopathies are prevalent, clinically heterogeneous, generally idiopathic disorders characterised by episodes of myofibre damage that occur in association with exercise. Episodes are intermittent and vary within a... Read More about Characterisation of phenotypic patterns in equine exercise-associated myopathies.

A prospective cohort study of factors associated with the digital cushion thickness in dairy cattle (2024)
Journal Article
Griffiths, B., Barden, M., Anagnostopoulos, A., Wilson, J., Lamprou, E., Tulley, W., Bedford, C., Psifidi, A., Banos, G., & Oikonomou, G. (2024). A prospective cohort study of factors associated with the digital cushion thickness in dairy cattle. Journal of Dairy Science, 107(9), 7230-7244. https://doi.org/10.3168/jds.2023-24563

Key factors such as stage of lactation, parity, and body fat reserves have been associated with the digital cushion thickness (DCT), however, there are discrepancies between the results of previously published studies. The objective of this study was... Read More about A prospective cohort study of factors associated with the digital cushion thickness in dairy cattle.

Digital dermatitis (DD) is a polybacterial disease endemic to most UK dairy farms. It poses a major financial and welfare threat and is characterized by high incidence and recurrence rates. We aimed to investigate the association between the UK EBV f...
