In addition, produce help document guide non-expert user through tool. Design An initial scoping review published literature key epidemiological texts undertaken prior formation Delphi panel establish components for CA CSSs. A consensus 80% required from any component be included final Results list 39 identified...
Abstract Language matters in shaping perceptions and guiding behaviour. The term stakeholder is widely used, yet little attention paid to the possibility that its use may inadvertently perpetuate colonial narratives reinforce systemic inequities. In this article, we critically examine limitations of concept ambiguity, normativity, exclusionary implications. We emphasise importance using language gives a voice marginalised groups, promotes inclusion equity, fosters meaningful reflexive...
A thorough search of the literature to find best evidence is central practice evidence-based veterinary medicine. This requires knowing which databases maximize journal coverage. The aim present study was compare coverage active journals by nine bibliographic inform future systematic reviews and other searches. Coverage assessed using lists included produced database providers. For 121 in “Basic List Veterinary Medical Serials, Third Edition,” percentage highest for Scopus (98.3%) CAB...
The limited use of biosecurity practices by many in the farming community is likely to be due a range factors; further understanding this issue required. In study, attitudes and behaviours producers relating selected industry were studied interviewing cattle farmers within 100 km2 study area north-west England using an interview-based questionnaire.
Background Few studies have considered in detail the range of biosecurity practices undertaken on cattle farms, particularly within UK. In this study, 56 farmers a 100 km2 area north-west England were questioned regarding their on-farm practices, including those relating to animal movements, equipment sharing and companies contractors visiting farms. Methodology/Principal Findings There was great variation between farms terms type of, extent which, carried out. For example, majority did not...
The population of dogs and cats passing through rescue shelters may be subject to compromised welfare increased susceptibility disease. Little information exists describe this population, its dynamics associated management practices. aim study was carry out a census un-owned in the UK 2010, document origins, destinations, husbandry costs with care these animals. A sampling frame constructed by searching databases publicly registered charities for England, Scotland Wales, registers breed...
Disease prevention and control practices are frequently highlighted as important to ensure the health welfare of farmed animals, although little is known why not many carried out. The aim this study was identify motivators barriers dairy cattle farmers towards use biosecurity measures on farms using a psychology approach. Twenty-five 24 in Great Britain (GB) were interviewed Theory Planned Behaviour framework. Results indicated that perceived they had ability what happened their terms...
Acute diarrhoea is a common presentation in dogs, and reason for antimicrobial prescription nutraceutical use. This evidence-based guideline provides recommendations probiotic treatment of canine acute (CAD). A multidisciplinary panel developed the by adhering to Grading Recommendations Assessment, Development Evaluation (GRADE) framework. The opinions stakeholders (general veterinary practitioners dog owners) were collected incorporated ensure applicability this guideline. Four strong...
The practice of evidence‐based veterinary medicine involves the utilisation scientific evidence for clinical decision making. To enable this, research topics pertinent to need be identified, and clinicians are best placed do this. main aim this study was describe population, common species conditions nominated they saw in how much information perceived available literature these. A questionnaire distributed all Royal College Veterinary Surgeons registered veterinarians agreeing contacted...
Understanding more about the clinical presentations encountered in veterinary practice is vital directing research towards areas relevant to practitioners. The aim of this study was describe all problems discussed during a convenience sample consultations using direct observation method. A data collection tool used gather by small animal at eight sentinel practices. Data were recorded for presenting and non-presenting specific health discussed. total 1901 patients presented with 3206...
Dairy calves must be fed appropriately to meet their nutritional needs, supporting optimal growth and development achieve the recommended target age at first calving (AFC) of 24 months. Traditional restricted milk feeding practices suppress growth, contribute negative welfare states may result in malnutrition immunosuppression. Despite more recent recommendations increase allowances for pre-weaned calves, remains a common practice. This study explored rationales behind calf protocols used by...

Methods Instructions to authors reviews were surveyed across 10 publishing greatest number listed in VetSRev, a citation database exclusively listing topics relevant medicine. Two investigators independently reviewed each section answer predetermined questions. Data collected from October 21, 2023, through April 9, 2024. Results varied journals,...
Effective communication is crucial for strengthening collaboration and ensuring the successful implementation of biosecurity measures against infectious diseases. A collaborative approach, where farmers veterinarians play a central role in decision-making, may have greater impact on promoting practices compared to top-down approach. The objective this study was explore perspectives researchers, official services, industry preferred methods between various on-farm stakeholders. Data were...

There is limited research investigating the motivators and barriers to vaccinating dairy cattle. Veterinary surgeons have been identified as important sources of information for farmers making vaccination disease control decisions, well being farmers’ preferred vaccine suppliers. Vets’ perception their own role communication style can be at odds with reported preferences. The objective this study was investigate how perceived vets in implementing strategies on farm. Semi‐structured...
