Abstract: Practical relevance: Inappetence may have many origins and, as a presenting sign or observation in the hospitalised patient, is common in feline practice. Nutritional assessment of every patient is encouraged, to identify the need for, and... Read More about 2022 ISFM Consensus Guidelines on Management of the Inappetent Hospitalised Cat.

A food systems approach and qualitative system dynamics model to reveal policy issues within the commercial broiler chicken system in South Africa (2022)
Journal Article
Queenan, K., Cuevas, S., Mabhaudhi, T., Chimonyo, M., Shankar, B., Slotow, R., & Häsler, B. (in press). A food systems approach and qualitative system dynamics model to reveal policy issues within the commercial broiler chicken system in South Africa. PLoS ONE, https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0270756

Abstract: Global broiler production and consumption levels continue to rise. South Africa’s broiler system is dominated by commercial production and formal retail trade, with competition from cheap imports. Local broiler policies have narrow, produc...

Smothering of laying hens, defined as death due to suffocation when hens tightly pile together in layer barns, is a well-known problem affecting the British loose-housed layer industry. However, knowledge about mechanisms contributing to piling in Br... Read More about Piling behaviour in British layer flocks: Observations and farmers' èxperiences.

Intron-derived small RNAs for silencing viral RNAs in mosquito cells (2022)
Journal Article
Tng, P., Paladino, L., Anderson, M., Adelman, Z., Fragkoudis, R., Noad, R., & Alphey, L. (2022). Intron-derived small RNAs for silencing viral RNAs in mosquito cells. PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 16(6), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pntd.0010548

Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus are the main vectors of mosquito-borne viruses of medical and veterinary significance. Many of these viruses have RNA genomes. Exogenously provided, e.g. transgene encoded, small RNAs could be used to inhibit virus re... Read More about Intron-derived small RNAs for silencing viral RNAs in mosquito cells.

The importance of fine-scale predictors of wild boar habitat use in an isolated population (2022)
Journal Article
Bacigalupo, S. A., Chang, Y., Dixon, L. K., Gubbins, S., & Drewe, J. A. (2022). The importance of fine-scale predictors of wild boar habitat use in an isolated population. Ecology and Evolution, 12, -. https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.9031

1. Predicting the likelihood of wildlife presence at potential wildlife-livestock interfaces is challenging. These interfaces are usually relatively small geographical areas where landscapes show large variation over small distances. Models of wildli...

Journal of Veterinary Medical Education, https://doi.org/10.3138/jvme-2022-0013

Previously, pig production was not covered in the Jordan University of Science and Technology's (JUST) veterinary curriculum due to Jordan being a predominantly Muslim country, with few graduates practicing outside the Middle East. However, pig produ...
