Both full and partial cannula options are available on most teat sealant and antibiotic tubes, but little evidence exists to support the selection of one option over the other.Methods: A total of 287 Holstein cows from three UK farms were enrolled in the study. Cows were randomly allocated to receive either full or partial insertion of internal teat sealant at drying off (plus the same insertion type of intramammary antibiotic if required by farm protocols). Somatic cell count and clinical mastitis data were collected, along with lactation number and calving season, and analysed using multivariable regression modelling.Results: Insertion type was not associated with high postcalving somatic cell counts (SCCs; >200k cells/mL), new infection rates (low to high SCC change across the dry period), cure rates (high to low SCC change across the dry period) or clinical mastitis cases.Limitations: Only pedigree Holsteins were included; results in other breeds could differ due to teat size.Conclusion: Insertion type was not associated with high SCC or increased postcalving mastitis cases.","PeriodicalId":23560,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Record","volume":" ","pages":"e5226"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143658814","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the risks of clinical disease for dogs with high versus low scores are not well documented.Methods: Longitudinal data were used to quantify the risk of clinical hip disease in dogs with 'low' and 'high' hip scores, as determined by radiographic examination at 10‒14 months of age, using survival and risk analysis.Results: Survival probabilities indicate that diagnoses of hip disease occurred throughout the lifespan of dogs, but the 'high' hip score cohort was 2.1‒3.0 times more likely than the 'low' hip score cohort to have a diagnosis of hip arthritis. This pattern was repeated in breed-specific analyses of Labradors and Golden Retrievers, with a possible breed influence on hip score and risk of arthritis at comparable scores.Limitations: Diagnoses may include both false positives and negatives, and the threshold for the determination of 'clear' dogs at 12 years of age used in the risk analysis may have had an influence on the results.Conclusions: This study provides empirical evidence that dogs with a high hip score at about 1 year of age are at greater risk of being diagnosed with arthritis of the hip later in life than dogs with a low hip score at the same age.","PeriodicalId":23560,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Record","volume":" ","pages":"e5224"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143664785","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The radial (R) nerve was visualised adjacent to the deep brachial artery and the median and musculocutaneous (MM) and ulnar (U) nerves were visualised cranial and caudal to the brachial artery, respectively. A 20-gauge insulated needle was inserted in plane until near the R and MM nerves. Following a positive motor response (0.4‒0.6 mA stimulus), 0.15 mL/kg/site of tissue dye was injected in both forelimbs. The calves were then euthanased with 70 mg/kg pentobarbital IV. During dissection, staining was considered successful when more than 1 cm of the nerve was coloured in its whole circumference.Results: The R, MM and U nerves were successfully stained in 13 (93%), 11 (79%) and six (43%) of the 14 injections, respectively.Limitations: The spread of the dye might differ from that of local anaesthetics, so the findings should be interpreted cautiously.Conclusion: A medial approach for RUMM nerve injection in calves seems feasible.","PeriodicalId":23560,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Record","volume":" ","pages":"e5219"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143658813","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
