Effect of transportation duration of 1-day-old chicks on postplacement production performances and pododermatitis of broilers up to slaughter age (2013)
Journal Article
Bergoug, H., Guinebretiere, M., Tong, Q., Roulston, N., Romanini, C. E. B., Exadaktylos, V., …Michel, V. (2013). Effect of transportation duration of 1-day-old chicks on postplacement production performances and pododermatitis of broilers up to slaughter age. Poultry Science, 92(12), 3300-3309. https://doi.org/10.3382/ps.2013-03118

This experiment studied the effect of transportation duration of 1-d-old chicks on dehydration, mortality, production performance, and pododermatitis during the growout period. Eggs from the same breeder flock (Ross PM3) were collected at 35, 45, and...

Bio-inspired swing leg control for spring-mass robots running on ground with unexpected height disturbance (2013)
Journal Article
Vejdani, H. R., Blum, Y., Daley, M. A., & Hurst, J. W. (2013). Bio-inspired swing leg control for spring-mass robots running on ground with unexpected height disturbance. https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-3182/8/4/046006

We proposed three swing leg control policies for spring-mass running robots, inspired by experimental data from our recent collaborative work on ground running birds. Previous investigations suggest that animals may prioritize injury avoidance and/or...

Biomechanics and energetics of walking on uneven terrain (2013)
Journal Article
Voloshina, A. S., Kuo, A. D., Daley, M. A., & Ferris, D. P. (2013). Biomechanics and energetics of walking on uneven terrain. Journal of Experimental Biology, 216(21), 3963-3970. https://doi.org/10.1242/jeb.081711

Walking on uneven terrain is more energetically costly than walking on smooth ground, but the biomechanical factors that contribute to this increase are unknown. To identify possible factors, we constructed an uneven terrain treadmill that allowed us... Read More about Biomechanics and energetics of walking on uneven terrain.

Influence of oxytetracycline on carprofen pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics in calves (2013)
Journal Article
Brentnall, C., Cheng, Z. R., McKellar, Q. A., & Lees, P. (2013). Influence of oxytetracycline on carprofen pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics in calves. Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 36(4), 320-328. https://doi.org/10.1111/jvp.12000

A tissue cage model of inflammation in calves was used to determine the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of individual carprofen enantiomers, following the administration of the racemate. RS(±) carprofen was administered subcutaneously... Read More about Influence of oxytetracycline on carprofen pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics in calves.

Influence of energy balance on the antimicrobial peptides S100A8 and S100A9 in the endometrium of the postpartum dairy cow (2013)
Journal Article
Swangchan-Uthai, T., Chen, Q., Kirton, S. E., Fenwick, M. A., Cheng, Z. R., Paton, J., …Wathes, D. C. (2013). Influence of energy balance on the antimicrobial peptides S100A8 and S100A9 in the endometrium of the postpartum dairy cow. Reproduction, 145(5), 527-539. https://doi.org/10.1530/REP-12-0513

Uterine inflammation occurs after calving in association with extensive endometrial remodelling and bacterial contamination. If the inflammation persists, it leads to reduced fertility. Chronic endometritis is highly prevalent in high-yielding cows t...

Vaulting mechanics successfully predict decrease in walk-run transition speed with incline (2013)
Journal Article
Hubel, T. Y., & Usherwood, J. R. (2013). Vaulting mechanics successfully predict decrease in walk-run transition speed with incline. Biology Letters, 9(2), https://doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2012.1121

There is an ongoing debate about the reasons underlying gait transition in terrestrial locomotion. In bipedal locomotion, the ‘compass gait’, a reductionist model of inverted pendulum walking, predicts the boundaries of speed and step length within w...

Estrogen Receptor-alpha Is Required for the Osteogenic Response to Mechanical Loading in a Ligand-Independent Manner Involving Its Activation Function 1 but Not 2 (2013)
Journal Article
Windahl, S. H., Saxon, L. K., Borjesson, A. E., Lagerquist, M. K., Frenkel, B., Henning, P., …Ohlsson, C. (2013). Estrogen Receptor-alpha Is Required for the Osteogenic Response to Mechanical Loading in a Ligand-Independent Manner Involving Its Activation Function 1 but Not 2. Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, 28(2), 291-301. https://doi.org/10.1002/jbmr.1754

Estrogen receptor‐α (ERα) is crucial for the adaptive response of bone to loading but the role of endogenous estradiol (E2) for this response is unclear. To determine in vivo the ligand dependency and relative roles of different ERα domains for the o...
