Impact of Eimeria tenella oocyst dose on parasite replication, lesion score and cytokine transcription in the caeca in three breeds of commercial layer chickens (2021)
Journal Article
Soutter, F., Werling, D., Kim, S., Pastor-Fernández, I., Marugan-Hernandez, V., Tomley, F., & Blake, D. (in press). Impact of Eimeria tenella oocyst dose on parasite replication, lesion score and cytokine transcription in the caeca in three breeds of commercial layer chickens. Frontiers in Veterinary Science,

Eimeria species parasites infect the gastrointestinal tract of chickens, causing disease and impacting on production. The poultry industry relies on anticoccidial drugs and live vaccines to control Eimeria and there is a need for novel, scalable alte...

The Impacts of Waterproof Insulated Jackets on Lamb Performance on a UK Lowland Farm (2021)
Journal Article
Collins, E. B., & Blackie, N. (2021). The Impacts of Waterproof Insulated Jackets on Lamb Performance on a UK Lowland Farm. Animals, 11(1), 217. https://doi.org/10.3390/ani11010217

The majority of lamb losses occur within the first two weeks of life, with cold stress being a major cause of lamb morbidity and mortality. This study investigated the effect of insulating lamb jackets on newborn lambs. One hundred and four newborn l...

A comparison of the value of two machine learning predictive models to support bovine tuberculosis disease control in England (2021)
Journal Article
Romero, M. P., Pilar Romero, M., Chang, Y.-M., Brunton, L. A., Prosser, A., Upton, P., Rees, E., Tearne, O., Arnold, M., Stevens, K., & Drewe, J. A. (2021). A comparison of the value of two machine learning predictive models to support bovine tuberculosis disease control in England. Preventive Veterinary Medicine,

Nearly a decade into Defra’s current eradication strategy (Defra, 2014, 2011), bovine tuberculosis (bTB) remains a serious animal health problem in England, with c.30,000 cattle slaughtered annually in the fight against this insidious disease. There... Read More about A comparison of the value of two machine learning predictive models to support bovine tuberculosis disease control in England.

Exploratory behaviour towards novel objects is associated with enhanced learning in young horses (2021)
Journal Article
Winther Christensen, J., Peerstrup Ahrendt, L., Malmkvist, J., & Nicol, C. (2021). Exploratory behaviour towards novel objects is associated with enhanced learning in young horses. Scientific Reports,

The mechanisms underlying individual variation in learning are key to understanding the development of cognitive abilities. In humans and primates, curiosity has been suggested as an important intrinsic factor that enhances learning, whereas in domes...
