A step in the right direction

A team of researchers have developed algorithms for an accelerometer-based device to detect the number of steps and distance travelled by dogs. The algorithms also allow calculation for temporal and spatial components of canine ambulation which could be used for diagnosis or monitoring of certain diseases, or used to support canine weight-loss programmes.

The impact of Johne's disease on milk production

A New Zealand based longitudinal study finds that sub-clinical Johne's disease can have a significant impact on milk production in dairy cows. The testing methodology used in this study allowed the farmer to identify cows that were infectious and are likely to under produce compared to cows where infection was not detected. Such knowledge allows for better control of this disease within infected herds.
