Abstract Culling badgers to control the transmission of bovine tuberculosis ( TB ) between this wildlife reservoir and cattle has been widely debated. Industry‐led culling began in Somerset Gloucestershire August November 2013 reduce local badger populations. is not designed be a randomized controlled trial impact on incidence. Nevertheless, it important monitor effects and, taking study limitations into account, perform cautious evaluation impacts. A standardized method for selecting areas...
This report, provided by the APHA, summarises infection status of bovine TB in cattle Great Britain from January 1 to December 31, 2013 and describes some temporal trends observed over a longer period. It updates previous annual summary for 2012, also published Veterinary Record ( VR , June 14, 2014, vol 174, pp 600–604).
Abstract The voluntary digestible organic matter intake (DOMI) of mature barley crops ( Hordeum spp.) for sheep depends largely on straw quality. Direct measurement DOMI is laborious; consequently, the research reported here evaluated indicator traits improving by crop breeding. It hypothesized that some quality are heritable, facilitate genetic gain in DOMI, and reveal properties constrain gain. In 4 years, 32 genotypes were grown at ICARDA, northern Syria, with no fertilizer one year...
