Given methane is one of the most potent greenhouse gases but is only present in the atmosphere for a short amount of time, globally there is a unique opportunity to slow climate warming if emissions can be reduced. It is essential for the public, policymakers and veterinarians to understand the key facts about the climate impacts of, and the methane mitigation methods available within, agriculture. Given the role of vets in herd health management and their crucial relationship with farmers, understanding the role of ruminants in global warming and what mitigation tools can be implemented will help their clients reduce the climate impact as well as provide other financial and animal welfare benefits.Aim of the article: This article is a review-style article which aims to inform veterinarians of the methane mitigation strategies currently available or in development in the livestock industry. This will provide background knowledge of where each strategy may be most appropriate, their co-benefits with other environmental issues and the overall cost-effectiveness of these strategies in terms of farmer economics, animal health and welfare, and practicability within the UK.","PeriodicalId":54994,"journal":{"name":"in Practice","volume":"47 8","pages":"395-405"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2025-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145204745","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Pragmatic approach to diabetes mellitus in dogs","authors":"Gisela Tyndall, Jane Sedgewick","doi":"10.1002/inpr.70006","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/inpr.70006","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is common in dogs. Management is potentially expensive, time-consuming and stressful. Effective use of a pragmatic, evidence-based protocol can create excellent clinical outcomes, control costs and reduce stress for pets, vets and owners. This article is based on a talk given by the authors at BVA Live in 2023. It details the experience of the authors in using a standard management PDSA national protocol for DM for over 10 years, and is not intended to be a ‘gold standard’ which is applicable to more complex cases and in different settings; instead, it focuses on a contextualised approach. Contextualised care is defined by the RCVS as a ‘way of delivering veterinary care that acknowledges that there are different ways to approach the diagnosis and treatment of an animal, depending on the circumstances of the individual animal and their caregivers, and the context in which the care is delivered.’ This article describes management of canine diabetes within the context of PDSA, a veterinary charity which funds veterinary treatment for pets with lower income owners. The charity environment means that use of financial and people resources must be optimised without compromising patient care.Aim of the article: This article details how diabetes mellitus can be diagnosed and treated successfully in a contextualised way using a protocol developed in a charity environment, but which is applicable to all circumstances. Evidence for the efficacy of this approach is given. Management of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is not discussed.","PeriodicalId":54994,"journal":{"name":"in Practice","volume":"47 8","pages":"406-416"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2025-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145204740","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
