Application of acute phase protein measurements in veterinary clinical chemistry

Henrik Hagbard Petersen, Jens Peter Nielsen, Peter M. H. Heegaard · 1 Mar 2004

The body's early defence in response to trauma, inflammation or infection, the acute phase response, is a complex set of systemic reactions seen shortly after exposure to a triggering event. One of the many components is an acute phase protein response in which increased hepatic synthesis leads to increased serum concentration of positive acute phase…

Production effects related to mastitis and mastitis economics in dairy cattle herds

Henri H. Seegers, Christine Fourichon, Fran�ois Beaudeau · 1 Sep 2003

Mastitis is the most prevalent production disease in dairy herds world-wide and is responsible for several production effects. Milk yield and composition can be affected by a more or less severe short-term depression and, in case of no cure, by a long-acting effect, and, sometimes, an overlapping effect to the next lactation. Summary values in…

Monitoring udder health and milk quality using somatic cell counts

Y.H. Schukken, David J. Wilson, F.L. Welcome et al. · 1 Sep 2003

In this article the use of somatic cell counts for monitoring udder health and milk quality is discussed. Somatic cell count dynamics at quarter, cow, herd and population level are discussed and illustrated with examples. Quarter and cow somatic cell counts directly represent the inflammatory status of the mammary gland. Herd and population somatic cell…

Re-calculating the cost of coccidiosis in chickens

Damer P. Blake, Jolene Knox, Ben Dehaeck et al. · 14 Sep 2020

Coccidiosis, caused by Eimeria species parasites, has long been recognised as an economically significant disease of chickens. As the global chicken population continues to grow, and its contribution to food security intensifies, it is increasingly important to assess the impact of diseases that compromise chicken productivity and welfare. In 1999, Williams published one of the…
