Avian Influenza And The Approach To Designing An H5n1 Vaccine, Lauren N. Hickey
Avian Influenza And The Approach To Designing An H5n1 Vaccine, Lauren N. Hickey
Honors Program: Senior Projects (Public)
The Avian influenza virus (AIV) H5N1 has been responsible for the culling and deaths of millions of birds since 2022 with concern for wildlife, livestock, and human infections occurring as well. With eggs flying off the shelves in grocery stores, even individuals not involved in the agricultural industry have seen the drastic effects of this disease first-hand. For chickens, this virus works quickly and overpowers the innate immune system before the adaptive immune system has time to properly respond. Therefore, a safe and effective vaccine could reduce the number of poultry deaths and prevent the continuous spread of the infection. …

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine
Accurate assessment of functional muscle activation is important for planning rehabilitation exercises in canine patients. Conventional methods, such as electromyography and gait analysis, have limitations in evaluating deep muscles and providing a comprehensive assessment of muscle activity. This case study used 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) to assess hind limb muscle activity in a dog after stair-climbing exercise. A 4-year-old castrated male Beagle underwent 1 h of stair-climbing exercise followed by FDG PET/CT scanning. Increased FDG uptake was observed in multiple hind limb muscles, particularly the gluteus medius and quadratus femoris muscles. The quadratus femoris, a deep …
How To Improve Neonatal Beef Calf Health: A Hands-On Workshop Approach, Gabriele Maier, Essam Abdelfattah, Erik Fausak
How To Improve Neonatal Beef Calf Health: A Hands-On Workshop Approach, Gabriele Maier, Essam Abdelfattah, Erik Fausak
Journal of Extension
Even though failure or inadequate transfer of passive immunity in beef calves is common, few interventions on the ranch address the issue. A workshop series that used calf simulators and live calves improved rancher knowledge on passive transfer and other topics relevant to neonatal calf health across operation sizes and experience levels. At the conclusion of the workshop, participants expressed a positive attitude towards using pain control for painful procedures in calves, with cost being the most important reason for not using it. Based on participant feedback, roundtable discussions would improve the workshop format.

The Effect Of Alpha-Lipoic Acid On Sperm Cryobiology And Post-Thaw Quality Of Sperm In Livestock Species, Kashif Ali Malak, Nazar Ali Korejo, Hira Sajjad Talpur, Asmatullah Kaka, Atif Ali Malak, Muhammad Aqeel, Rasool Bux
Journal of Bioresource Management
The cryopreservation of semen is a prerequisite for artificial insemination, germplasm banking and the global distribution of elite livestock breeding. However, spermatozoa are particularly sensitive to cooling and freezing/thawing processes due to the presence of large amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids in their plasma membranes and limited cytoplasmic antioxidant stores. An increase in reactive oxygen species, lipid peroxidation, mitochondrial dysfunction, acrosomal injury and DNA fragmentation occurs due to stress associated with cryopreservation, which results in the lowering of motility as well as viability and post-thaw low quality of sperm. Alpha-lipoic acid is a natural disulfide compound that acts as a …

New Frontiers In Diagnosing Equine Lameness, Hyrum Hoopes, Karl Hoopes
All Current Publications
Lameness is one of the most common and expensive health problems seen in horses. Modern technology allows veterinarians to look beneath the surface. Tools such as artificial intelligence (AI), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), digital radiography (X-rays), nuclear scintigraphy, ultrasound, and positron emission tomography (PET) give clearer, more detailed pictures of what’s happening inside the horse’s leg. Each technology offers different advantages, from identifying uneven movement to revealing hidden damage within bones, joints, or soft tissues. When combined with veterinary visual evaluation, they help pinpoint the cause of lameness faster and more accurately than ever before.

Establishing mentoring relationships amongst first-year students and more-experienced students can create a sense of belonging. Mentorship programs may be developed within a particular major or program. Within this study, an online survey was formed to analyze the perceptions of first-year pre-veterinary students in Fall 2024 and Fall 2025. A peer-mentorship program was implemented amongst pre-veterinary students in Fall 2025. First-year students who completed the survey in Fall 2024 were not mentored. Many of the …

This paper reports a case of feline cholangiocarcinoma, a relatively rare condition in veterinary clinical practice. A 4-year-old female British Shorthair cat was presented with a 10-day history of anorexia and lethargy. An irregularly shaped mass was palpable on abdominal palpation. Diagnostic imaging and serum biochemical findings indicated extrahepatic biliary obstruction, and the diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma was confirmed by histopathology and immunohistochemistry. Preoperative imaging in this cat indicated that the mass had not invaded major blood vessels such as the portal vein, and no evidence of distant metastasis was detected. The mass was surgically resected, followed by choledochoduodenostomy. The cat …

Fasciola hepatica, the common liver fluke, is endemic in the Pacific Northwest and Gulf Coast of the United States. To provide updated information on F. hepatica prevalence, as part of the USDA National Animal Health Monitoring System Sheep 2024 study, sheep operations in the top 30 sheep-producing states were identified, and producers were invited to participate. For each operation, feces were collected from at least eight sheep and pooled to form a single composite sample. Two methods were used to identify sheep infected with F. hepatica: fecal sedimentation and indirect sandwich ELISA. At the national level, across 318 operations, 7.1 …

Birth weight (BW) is a key determinant of average daily gain (ADG) in piglets; however, hyperprolific sow genetics, particularly under tropical conditions, have increased the proportion of low-birth-weight piglets. This study evaluated factors associated with ADG during the first 7 days of lactation within birth weight categories (1.3 kg). A total of 1,185 piglets from 97 litters that survived to day 7 were included. Factors analyzed were cumulative birth interval, birth order, colostrum intake per kilogram of body weight, rectal temperature at 24 h postpartum, sex, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), and cross-fostering. Birth weight, cumulative birth interval, birth order, colostrum …
