DOI: 10.1016/j.rvsc.2019.05.021
Abstract: Pre-weaning diarrhea in mink kits (PWD), also known as "sticky kits" is a multifactorial syndrome of considerable concern in the mink production. Evidence based treatment protocols are not available, and treatment is therefore empirical and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.smallrumres.2021.106319
Abstract: Abstract Quantitative traits such as pre-weaning growth is expressed as a result of combined genetic and environmental effects. The phenotypic expression of those traits in offspring is affected by direct genetic effect and sometimes also… read more here.

Comparison of the effects of high and low milk-replacer feeding regimens on health and growth of crossbred dairy heifers
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Animal Production Science"
DOI: 10.1071/an18432
Abstract: Context Pre-weaning growth in dairy heifers is highly dependent on the amount of milk fed. Both milk replacer (MR) and associated labour are costly, encouraging restricted milk rations and once-a-day feeding. Aims This study compared… read more here.
