Machine learning classification methods informing the management of inconclusive reactors at bovine tuberculosis surveillance tests in England (2021)
Journal Article
Romero, M. P., Chang, Y., Brunton, L. A., Parry, J., Prosser, A., Upton, P., & Drewe, J. A. (2021). Machine learning classification methods informing the management of inconclusive reactors at bovine tuberculosis surveillance tests in England. Preventive Veterinary Medicine,

Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) remains one of the most complex, challenging, and costly animal health problems in England. Identifying and promptly removing all infected cattle from affected herds is key to its eradication strategy; the imperfect sensitiv...

Bite Wound Management In Ring-Tailed Lemurs: A Retrospective Study Of Bite Wound Management In Ring-Tailed Lemurs (Lemur Catta) Housed Within Five British Zoos. (2021)
Journal Article
Ceccolini, M., Hedley, J., Chang, Y., & Guthrie, A. (in press). Bite Wound Management In Ring-Tailed Lemurs: A Retrospective Study Of Bite Wound Management In Ring-Tailed Lemurs (Lemur Catta) Housed Within Five British Zoos. Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine,

Captive nonhuman primates frequently experience bite wounds inflicted by conspecifics; however, few studies evaluate wound management in these animals. This study evaluates bite wound management in 35 captive ring-tailed lemurs (RTL, Lemur catta) hel...

Associations between behaviour and health outcomes in conventional and slow-growing breeds of broiler chicken (2021)
Journal Article
Abeyesinghe, S., Abeyesinghe, S., Chancellor, N., Hernandez Moore, D., Chang, Y., Pearce, J., …Nicol, C. (2021). Associations between behaviour and health outcomes in conventional and slow-growing breeds of broiler chicken. animal, 15(7), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.animal.2021.100261

Broiler chickens are prone to a range of complex health and welfare issues. To support informed selection of welfare traits whilst minimising impact on production efficiency and to address a major gap in understanding, we systematically explored asso...

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.
