Is a standalone inertial measurement unit accurate and precise enough for quantification of movement symmetry in the horse? (2015)
Journal Article
Brighton, C., Olsen, E., & Pfau, T. (2015). Is a standalone inertial measurement unit accurate and precise enough for quantification of movement symmetry in the horse?. Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering, 18(5), 527-532. https://doi.org/10.1080/10255842.2013.819857

Standalone ‘low-cost’ inertial measurement units (IMUs) could facilitate large-scale studies into establishing minimal important differences (MID) for orthopaedic deficits (lameness) in horses. We investigated accuracy and limits of agreement (LoA) a...

Vaccination with a live multi-gene deletion strain protects horses against virulent challenge with Streptococcus equi (2015)
Journal Article
Robinson, C., Heather, Z., Slater, J. D., Potts, N., Steward, K. F., Maskell, D. J., Fontaine, M. C., Lee, J., Smith, K. C., & Waller, A. S. (2015). Vaccination with a live multi-gene deletion strain protects horses against virulent challenge with Streptococcus equi. Vaccine, 33(9), 1160-1167. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vaccine.2015.01.019

Strangles, caused by Streptococcus equi subspecies equi (S. equi) is one of the most frequently diagnosed infectious diseases of horses and there remains a significant need to develop new preventative vaccines. We generated a live vaccine strain of S... Read More about Vaccination with a live multi-gene deletion strain protects horses against virulent challenge with Streptococcus equi.

Structure, ontogeny and evolution of the patellar tendon in emus (Dromaius novaehollandiae) and other palaeognath birds (2015)
Journal Article
Regnault, S., Pitsillides, A. A., & Hutchinson, J. R. (2015). Structure, ontogeny and evolution of the patellar tendon in emus (Dromaius novaehollandiae) and other palaeognath birds. https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.711

The patella (kneecap) exhibits multiple evolutionary origins in birds, mammals, and lizards, and is thought to increase the mechanical advantage of the knee extensor muscles. Despite appreciable interest in the specialized anatomy and locomotion of p...

Welfare analysis of changing food prices: a nonparametric examination of rice policies in India (2015)
Journal Article
Groom, B., & Tak, M. (2015). Welfare analysis of changing food prices: a nonparametric examination of rice policies in India. Food Security, 7(1), 121-141. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12571-014-0413-x

The paper examines the welfare impact of the Indian government’s rice price policies in the light of the global food crisis of 2007–08 using a nonparametric approach for regression and density estimation. In particular, the impact of a ban on export... Read More about Welfare analysis of changing food prices: a nonparametric examination of rice policies in India.

Career identity in the veterinary profession (2015)
Journal Article
Page-Jones, S., & Abbey, G. (2015). Career identity in the veterinary profession. Veterinary Record, 176(17), 433. https://doi.org/10.1136/vr.102784

This research investigates vet and vet nurse career identity through the qualitative methodology of narrative enquiry. It derives learning and understanding from these empirical data to assist the veterinary profession to adjust to the changing indus... Read More about Career identity in the veterinary profession.

SERVAL: A New Framework for the Evaluation of Animal Health Surveillance (2015)
Journal Article
Drewe, J. A., Hoinville, L. J., Cook, A. J. C., Floyd, T., Gunn, G., & Staerk, K. D. C. (2015). SERVAL: A New Framework for the Evaluation of Animal Health Surveillance. Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, 62(1), 33-45. https://doi.org/10.1111/tbed.12063

Animal health surveillance programmes may change in response to altering requirements or perceived weaknesses but are seldom subjected to any formal evaluation to ensure that they provide valuable information in an efficient manner. The literature on... Read More about SERVAL: A New Framework for the Evaluation of Animal Health Surveillance.

The winding path to a PhD in veterinary education (2015)
Journal Article
