The UK is the largest lamb meat producer in Europe. However, low profitability of sheep farming sector suggests production efficiency could be improved. Although use technologies such as Electronic Identification (EID) tools allow a better flock resources, anecdotal evidence they are not widely used. aim this study was to assess uptake EID technology, and explore drivers barriers adoption related among English Welsh farmers. Farm beliefs management practices associated with technology were...
Variable selection in inferential modelling is problematic when the number of variables large relative to data points, especially multicollinearity present. A variety techniques have been described identify 'important' subsets from within a parameter space but these may produce different results which creates difficulties with inference and reproducibility. Our aim was evaluate extent variable would change depending on statistical approach whether triangulation across methods could enhance...
Abstract Inferential research commonly involves identification of causal factors from within high dimensional data but selection the ‘correct’ variables can be problematic. One specific problem is that results vary depending on statistical method employed and it has been argued triangulation multiple methods advantageous to safely identify correct, important variables. To date, no formal reported incorporates both model stability coefficient estimates; in this paper we develop an adaptable,...
Although the UK is largest lamb meat producer in Europe, there are limited data available on sheep flock performance and how farmers manage their flocks. The aims of this study were to gather evidence types disease control practices implemented flocks, explore husbandry factors associated with productivity. A questionnaire focusing farm characteristics, general health management was carried out 648 farms located over summer 2016. Abattoir sales (lamb 12 months) compared number breeding ewes...
The nature and depth of bedding material have an important influence on cow lying behaviour comfort. Increasing use recycled manure solids (RMS) as led to investigation the this behaviour.Leg mounted accelerometers were used estimate daily time number duration bouts in four groups 40 cows. Each group spent two 2-week periods each systems: deep sand, RMS, sawdust mattresses RMS mattresses.Total times significantly shorter both treatments than sawdust. Number per day was greater any other...
Research suggests that many sheep farmers continue to carry out traditional antibiotic use practices despite new ’good practice’ recommendations. The aim of this study was group depending on their attitudes around and resistance, determine the behaviours are associated with in these groups. In 2017, a flock health survey sent British farmers. K-means cluster analysis used identify groups similar towards resistance. A multivariable logistic regression model built associations between farmers’...
Na atualidade, a pesquisa envolvendo células-tronco mesenquimais destaca-se na busca de avanços reparação da cartilagem articular. Objetivou-se, no presente estudo, comparar regeneração cartilaginosa articulação coxofemoral coelhos, com e sem o transplante autólogas, por meio exames radiográficos histopatológicos. Dois grupos, 15 animais espécie leporina cada, foram submetidos à indução química osteoartrite solução colagenase 2% direita. No Grupo 1 (Células-tronco) realizou-se aplicação...
