The Effects of Respiratory Vaccine Type and Timing on Antibody Titers, Immunoglobulins, and Growth Performance in Pre- and Post-Weaned Beef Calves

Jeff M. Matty, Cassidy Reddout, Jordan Adams, Mike Major, David Lalman, Rosslyn Biggs, Janeen L. Salak-Johnson, Paul A. Beck

Summary: Different bovine respiratory vaccine antigen types and timing schedules were investigated in beef cattle. Vaccinating calves with a killed viral vaccine at a young age may not provide sufficient disease protection, while vaccination with a modified live vaccine could generate a better antibody response. Delaying the initial vaccination until weaning may result in a lower specific antibody response and a shift towards cell-mediated immunity.

Intestinal Epithelial STAT6 Activation Rescues the Defective Anti-Helminth Responses Caused by Ogt Deletion

Xiwen Xiong, Rong Huang, Zun Li, Chenyan Yang, Qingzhi Wang, Hai-Bin Ruan, Lin Xu

Summary: This study demonstrates that protein O-GlcNAcylation in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) is crucial for maintaining epithelial homeostasis and anti-helminthic immune responses. The results show that O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) regulates tuft and goblet cell differentiation in IECs through the STAT6 pathway, while crypt cell proliferation and Paneth cell differentiation are regulated by OGT independent of STAT6.

Short communication: Identifying key parameters for modelling the impacts of livestock health conditions on greenhouse gas emissions

R. P. Kipling, A. Bannink, D. J. Bartley, I Blanco-Penedo, P. Faverdin, A- Graux, N. J. Hutchings, I Kyriazakis, M. Macleod, S. Ostergaard, T. P. Robinson, A. Vitali, B. Vosough Ahmadi, S. Ozkan

Summary: Improved animal health can reduce greenhouse gas emissions intensities in livestock systems while increasing productivity. However, modellers need to understand the pathways linking animal health to emissions and how to incorporate them into models to effectively reduce emissions. Workshops, online exchanges, and surveys were used to identify disease-related model parameters and test their application in evaluating models, which proved effective in assessing the potential of farm-scale models in characterizing livestock disease impacts on GHG emissions.

Determining the influence of socio-psychological factors on the adoption of individual 'best practice' parasite control behaviours from Scottish sheep farmers.

Corin Jack, Emily Hotchkiss, Neil D. Sargison, Luiza Toma, Catherine Milne, David J. Bartley

Summary: This study investigated Scottish sheep farmers' attitudes and behaviors towards parasite control, and used quantitative structural equation modeling to determine the factors influencing the implementation of recommended practices. The results showed that topography and experience had negative influences on multiple control practices, while social norms, worm control knowledge, AR risk perception, and positive attitudes towards veterinary services had positive influences. Factors such as social norms, suspicions of AR, and confirmation of AR had the greatest relative effects on individual parasite control practices.
