The Genetic Architecture of Bovine Telomere Length in Early Life and Association With Animal Fitness (2019)
Journal Article
Ilska-Warner, J. J., Psifidi, A., Seeker, L. A., Wilbourn, R. V., Underwood, S. L., Fairlie, J., …Banos, G. (2019). The Genetic Architecture of Bovine Telomere Length in Early Life and Association With Animal Fitness. Frontiers in Genetics, 10, https://doi.org/10.3389/fgene.2019.01048

Health and survival are key goals for selective breeding in farm animals. Progress, however, is often limited by the low heritability of these animal fitness traits in addition to measurement difficulties. In this respect, relevant early-life biomark...

A review of hyperfibrinolysis in cats and dogs (2019)
Journal Article
Birkbeck, R. N., Cortellini, S., & Humm, K. R. (2019). A review of hyperfibrinolysis in cats and dogs. Journal of Small Animal Practice, 60(11), 641-655. https://doi.org/10.1111/jsap.13068

The fibrinolytic system is activated concurrently with coagulation; it regulates haemostasis and prevents thrombosis by restricting clot formation to the area of vascular injury and dismantling the clot as healing occurs. Dysregulation of the fibrino... Read More about A review of hyperfibrinolysis in cats and dogs.

Preliminary insight into horse owners' perceptions of, and attitudes towards, exotic diseases in the United Kingdom (2019)
Journal Article
Spence, K. L., Cardwell, J. M., Slater, J. D., & Rosanowski, S. M. (2019). Preliminary insight into horse owners' perceptions of, and attitudes towards, exotic diseases in the United Kingdom. BMC Veterinary Research, 15(338), https://doi.org/10.1186/s12917-019-2120-5

The potential for an exotic disease incursion is a significant concern for the United Kingdom (UK) equine industry. Horse owners’ perceptions of, and attitudes towards, exotic diseases can influence decisions to adopt disease preparedness strategies....

Risk of intra-articular injection with longitudinal ultrasound-guided injection of the collateral ligaments of the distal interphalangeal joint in the horse (2019)
Journal Article

Desmopathy of the collateral ligaments of the distal interphalangeal joint is a common cause of equine foot lameness and carries a poor prognosis with conservative management. Intralesional injections may improve healing, although accuracy of radiogr...
