“…Bovine tuberculosis (bTB), caused by Mycobacterium bovis, is a chronic disease which is difficult to control and is of both animal welfare and public health concern. Previous research has suggested that infection with liver fluke may affect the accuracy of the bTB skin test, but direction of the effect differs between studies. …”

“…The global wildlife trade network is a massive system that has been shown to threaten biodiversity, introduce non-native species and pathogens, and cause chronic animal welfare concerns. Despite its scale and impact, comprehensive characterization of the global wildlife trade is hampered by data that are limited in their temporal or taxonomic scope and detail. …”

“…BACKGROUND: Displaced abomasum (DA) is a condition of dairy cows that severely impacts animal welfare and causes huge economic losses. OBJECTIVE: To assess the metabolic status of the disease using metabolomics in serum, urine and liver samples aimed at both water soluble and lipid soluble fractions. …”

“…A lack of action, however, may lead to new outbreaks in nearby salmon sea farms, with severe impacts on both economy and animal welfare. Here, we aim to explore how a time delay between a detected outbreak and the culling of both infected cages and entire farms affects the further spread of the disease. …”

“…Combinations of stressors throughout an animal's life, especially in agriculture and aquaculture settings, may affect the regular operativity of this organ with negative consequences for animal welfare. In the current study, we report the effects of a three-week unpredictable chronic stress (UCS) period on the intestinal morphology and transcriptome response of Atlantic salmon (Salmon salar) parr midgut and hindgut. …”

“…While in general, in vivo testing is still routinely used for assessing the hepatotoxic potential of test chemicals, the use of in vitro models offers advantages with regard to throughput, consumption of resources, and animal welfare aspects. Using the human hepatoma cell line HepaRG, we performed a comparative evaluation of a panel of hepatotoxicity marker mRNAs and proteins after exposure of the cells to 30 different pesticidal active compounds comprising herbizides, fungicides, insecticides, and others. …”

“…Scrotal hernias (SH) are common congenital defects in commercial pigs, characterized by the presence of abdominal contents in the scrotal sac, leading to considerable production and animal welfare losses. Since the etiology of SH remains obscure, we aimed to identify the biological and genetic mechanisms involved in its occurrence through the whole transcriptome analysis of SH affected and unaffected pigs’ inguinal rings. …”

“…The keel bone of commercially kept laying hens is known to be frequently affected by morphologic changes such as fractures and deformations with important implications for animal welfare. To detect morphologic changes, various methods such as palpation, computed tomography, and ultrasound are available, though radiography allows for the greatest level of detail in combination with the most ease of use. …”

Similarly, the appropriate level of relative humidity in the environment should be taken into consideration to avoid the proliferation of microorganisms on the farm. …”
