Expression of innate resistance factors in mammary secretion from periparturient dairy heifers and their association with subsequent infection status
(Elsevier, 2008)Mastitis in dairy heifers in the peripartum period is a common and costly problem for producers, and mammary innate resistance is of key importance in defense of the gland from bacterial invasion. A prospective observational ... -

Metabolic adaptations associated with irreversible glucose loss are different to those observed during under-nutrition
(Elsevier, 2008)In this study the hypothesis that irreversible glucose loss results in an ‘uncoupling’ of the somatotrophic axis (increasing plasma GH levels and decreasing plasma IGF-I) was tested. During periods of negative energy balance ... -
