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., Brunton, L. A., Prosser, A., Upton, P., …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...

Journal Article
Enticott, G., Ward, K., Ashton, A., Brunton, L., & Broughan, J. (2021). Mapping the geography of disease: a comparison of epidemiologists' and field-Level experts' disease maps. Applied Geography, 126, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apgeog.2020.102356

This paper examines differences between expert and field-level experts' assessments of the geography of animal disease. Mapping the geographical spread and prevalence of disease is central to attempt to reduce disease incidence and encourage preventi...

Risk factors associated with disturbances of calcium homeostasis after initiation of a phosphate-restricted diet in cats with chronic kidney disease (2020)
Journal Article

Background Dietary phosphate restriction improves survival in cats with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, feeding a phosphate‐restricted diet may disrupt calcium homeostasis leading to hypercalcemia in some cats. Objectives To identify...
