Effect of rabies booster vaccination on antibody levels in African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus) (2023)
Journal Article
Chang, Y.-M. (in press). Effect of rabies booster vaccination on antibody levels in African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus). Journal of Wildlife Diseases,

Rabies is a highly virulent viral disease that has been associated with large-scale population declines of the endangered African wild dog, Lycaon pictus. While rabies vaccination may be a valuable conservation tool in this species, studies indicate...

Factors associated with insulin responses to oral sugars in a mixed-breed cohort of ponies (2023)
Journal Article
Knowles, E., Harris, P., Elliott, J., Chang, Y., & Menzies-Gow, N. (2023). Factors associated with insulin responses to oral sugars in a mixed-breed cohort of ponies. Equine Veterinary Journal, https://doi.org/10.1111/evj.13983

Background: Serum insulin concentration at 60 min (InsulinT60) during an oral sugar test (OST) indicates future laminitis risk and insulin dysregulation (ID). Associations between InsulinT60 and physical and owner-reported variables may help clinicia...

Background: Tuberculosis is caused by members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) and is the second leading infectious killer after COVID-19. The evolution of drug-resistance poses a threat to successful treatment and disease eradication...

Effects of external ambient temperature at loading, journey duration and flock characteristics on the dead-on-arrival rate in broiler chickens transported to slaughter in Great Britain (2023)
Journal Article
Allen, S., Parker, C., Verheyen, K., Nicol, C., & Chang, Y. (2023). Effects of external ambient temperature at loading, journey duration and flock characteristics on the dead-on-arrival rate in broiler chickens transported to slaughter in Great Britain. Poultry Science, 102(6), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.psj.2023.102634

Broiler mortality during transport and lairage, prior to slaughter, has negative welfare and eco-nomic implications. Knowledge of the factors affecting the dead-on-arrival (DOA) rate can help identify risk-mitigating strategies. The objectives of thi...

Individual Monitoring of Activity and Lameness in Conventional and Slower-Growing Breeds of Broiler Chickens Using Accelerometers (2023)
Journal Article
Pearce, J., Chang, Y.-M. R., & Abeyesinghe, S. (2023). Individual Monitoring of Activity and Lameness in Conventional and Slower-Growing Breeds of Broiler Chickens Using Accelerometers. Animals, 13(9), 1432. https://doi.org/10.3390/ani13091432

Accelerometers are increasingly being investigated to detect animal behaviour as a method for monitoring individual welfare that overcomes manual challenges associated with time, re-source, and discrete sampling. We investigated the effects of broile... Read More about Individual Monitoring of Activity and Lameness in Conventional and Slower-Growing Breeds of Broiler Chickens Using Accelerometers.

Regional modular responses in different bone compartments to the anabolic effect of PTH (1-34) and axial loading in mice (2023)
Journal Article
Monzem, S., Valkani, D., Evans, L., Chang, Y., & Pitsillides, A. (2023). Regional modular responses in different bone compartments to the anabolic effect of PTH (1-34) and axial loading in mice. BONE, 170, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bone.2023.116720

Beneficial effects of intermittent parathyroid hormone (PTH) on bone mass and architecture are described to either simply add to, or to synergise with those of mechanical loading. We evaluate whether interaction with in vivo loading is reinforced by...
