Predictive modelling of deviation from expected milk yield in transition cows on automatic milking systems Prev. Vet. Med. (IF 2.6) Pub Date : 2024-02-24 Fergus P. Hannon, Martin J. Green, Luke O’Grady, Chris Hudson, Anneke Gouw, Laura V. Randall
The transition period is a pivotal time in the production cycle of the dairy cow. It is estimated that between 30% and 50% of all cows experience metabolic or infectious disease during this time. One of the most common and economically consequential effects of disease during the transition period is a reduction in early lactation milk production. This has led to the utilisation of deviation from expected

A Bayesian finite mixture model approach to evaluate dichotomization method for correlated ELISA tests Prev. Vet. Med. (IF 2.6) Pub Date : 2024-02-10 Alex Siyi Chen, Xun Xiao, Danchen Aaron Yang
In diagnostic accuracy studies, a commonly employed approach involves dichotomizing continuous data and subsequently analyzing them using a Bayesian latent class model (BLCM), often relying on binomial or multinomial distributions, rather than preserving their continuous nature. However, this procedure can inadvertently lead to less reliable outcomes due to the inherent loss of information when converting

A spatiotemporal analysis of bovine brucellosis cases in Minas Gerais state, Brazil, from 2011 to 2018 Prev. Vet. Med. (IF 2.6) Pub Date : 2023-12-22 Anna Cecilia Trolesi Reis Borges Costa, Suman Bhowmick, James F. Lowe, Andrey Pereira Lage, Luciana Faria de Oliveira, Elaine Maria Seles Dorneles
Our study explored the patterns of bovine brucellosis dissemination in Minas Gerais state, Brazil, by examining data on passive surveillance of bovine brucellosis cases from the Instituto Mineiro de Agropecuaria (IMA) (Animal Health Authority), as well as cattle population and bovine brucellosis testing, from 2011 to 2018 by means of a spatiotemporal analysis. We plotted cases, populations and testing

Seroprevalence and herd-level associated factors of pathogenic Leptospira spp. circulating locally in dairy cattle in Uruguay Prev. Vet. Med. (IF 2.6) Pub Date : 2023-12-21 Alejandra Suanes, María V. Macchi, Federico Fernández, Ximena Salaberry, Cintya Moreira, Andrés D. Gil
Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease of worldwide importance. In Uruguay, it is endemic in cattle and primarily affects people with occupational exposure to livestock. The aim of this study was to determine the national seroprevalence and associated factors of local pathogen Leptospires in dairy cattle. A cross-sectional study was carried out. Herds were stratified by size (1–50, 51–250, and > 250 cattle)

Descriptive epidemiology of smothering in Australian commercial free-range layer hen farms Prev. Vet. Med. (IF 2.6) Pub Date : 2023-12-21 P. Chowdhury, P.H. Hemsworth, A.D. Fisher, M. Rice, R.Y. Galea, P.S. Taylor, M. Stevenson
Since the early 2000 s the practice of free-range egg production has increased in developed countries, partly driven by consumer perception that free-range housing is better for hen welfare. While poultry in free-range systems have more behavioural opportunities compared with poultry in caged systems, free-range systems are associated with greater frequencies of infectious disease, predation and ‘smothering’

Short communication: Retrospective analysis of obligatory testing results for Equine virus arteritis reveals a decrease of its seroprevalence in stallions used for artificial insemination Prev. Vet. Med. (IF 2.6) Pub Date : 2023-12-19 Martim Kaps, Jörn Wenderoth, Jörg Aurich, Christine Aurich
Equine viral arteritis (EVA) can induce a persistent carrier state in stallions which then shed the virus via semen. About 30 years ago, obligatory EVA testing of stallions used for artificial insemination (AI) was implemented in the European Union. Information on the efficacy of these regulations on the prevalence of EVA in stallions are not yet available. Therefore, we retrospectively analyzed results

High seroprevalence for SARS-CoV-2 infection in dogs: Age as risk factor for infection in shelter and foster home animals Prev. Vet. Med. (IF 2.6) Pub Date : 2023-12-06 Mariana Guimarães Nilsson, Mirza de Carvalho Santana Cordeiro, Ana Carolina Aparecida Gonçalves, Marcelo dos Santos Conzentino, Luciano Fernandes Huergo, Fernando Vicentini, Jeiza Botelho Leal Reis, Alexander Welker Biondo, Louise Bach Kmetiuk, Aristeu Vieira da Silva
SARS-CoV-2 has caused 775 outbreaks in 29 animal species across 36 countries, including dogs, cats, ferrets, minks, non-human primates, white-tailed deer, and lions. Although transmission from owners to dogs has been extensively described, no study to date has also compared sheltered, foster home and owner dogs and associated risk factors. This study aimed to identify SARS-CoV-2 infection and anti-SARS-CoV-2

Non-vaccination of dogs is linked to uncompleted COVID-19 vaccination protocols of owners Prev. Vet. Med. (IF 2.6) Pub Date : 2023-12-06 Isabela Pádua Zanon, João Victor Ferreira Campos, Yasmin Gonçalves de Castro, Thayanne Gabryelle Viana de Souza, Victor Santos do Amarante, Camila Stefanie Fonseca de Oliveira, Rafael Romero Nicolino, Rodrigo Otávio Silveira Silva
Despite the known importance of vaccines as one of the greatest achievements in medical science, vaccine hesitancy has been increasing in the last decade and has become a major threat to global health. The growth of vaccine hesitancy worldwide became more evident with the onset of COVID-19 and raised the fear that this hesitancy would also impact companion animal vaccination. This study aimed to characterize

The application of biosecurity practices for preventing avian influenza in North-Eastern Italy turkey farms: An analysis of the point of view and perception of farmers Prev. Vet. Med. (IF 2.6) Pub Date : 2023-12-03 Crovato Stefania, Menini Alessio, Mulatti Paolo, Dorotea Tiziano, Anna Rosa Favretto, Zaltron Francesca, Mascarello Giulia, Pozza Giandomenico
Introduction Italian and international outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), particularly in densely populated poultry areas (DPPAs), have increased over the past few decades. These emerging risks, which endanger both human and animal health and the entire poultry industry, can be effectively limited by biosecurity measures implemented at human-animal food chain interfaces. Some problems
