“…Lameness also causes considerable economic losses through its associated effects on fertility and milk yield, as well as early culling and treatment costs 4,5 . In 2009, the average lameness event was estimated to cost over £320, 6 and one recent review suggests that the costs may have risen by 12% since 7 .…”

BackgroundLameness affects approximately one‐third of the national dairy herd, impacting welfare and production. Non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the main analgesic available, but use is variable. The aims of this study were to describe how members of the mobility team perceive pain and use NSAIDs for conditions causing lameness in dairy cows.MethodsA questionnaire was distributed online to UK farmers, veterinarians, veterinary technicians (VTs) and foot trimmers (FTs). Respondents were asked to describe factors affecting their NSAID use and to score pain associated with 16 scenarios, including diagnoses, conditions and procedures associated with lameness in cows.ResultsOf 210 respondents, 81 (38.6%) were farmers, 80 (38.1%) were veterinarians, 34 (16.2%) were FTs and 15 (7.1%) were VTs. For most conditions, farmers scored pain lower than veterinarians and VTs and were less likely to use or recommend NSAIDs than veterinarians, VTs and FTs. Farmers rated cow comfort as more important (p < 0.001) and the cost of drugs as less important (p < 0.001) in using NSAIDs than veterinarians predicted.LimitationsThere were fewer VTs and FTs than farmers and veterinarians, limiting generalisation. Response and social acceptability biases may have affected the findings.ConclusionAll members of the mobility team have different perceptions and areas of expertise around lameness. Increasing collaboration and harnessing of skills and knowledge within the team could improve detection and treatment of lameness, with consequent benefits to cow welfare and production.

“…Climatic conditions such as water resource scarcity, extreme temperature, animal health risks, and poor feed, in terms of quality and quantity, are identified as the factors explaining the gap between the potential and actual yield of dairy products in Senegal (Duteurtre et al, 2021;Marshall et al, 2016;Niemi et al, 2016;Raile et al, 2019). Besides, the various infectious production diseases and parasites such as flies, ticks, mites, and helminths cause reduced milk production and financial losses due to control, treatment, and mortality costs (Rashid et al, 2019;Whatford et al, 2022).…”

This study investigates the effects of genetic improvement policies on dairy production, with a particular emphasis on Artificial Insemination projects. Furthermore, we evaluate the major barriers and challenges of Artificial Insemination projects including water scarcity. Using the data-driven synthetic control method, we found evidence that the Artificial Insemination projects caused milk production to increase by 59 thousand tons on average from 2008 to 2018. This could be correlated with food security (i.e., synergies), but increased dairy production may also place strain on Senegal’s water resources (i.e. trade-offs). To achieve a more efficient outcome, Senegalese dairy policies should consider the negative externalities of these projects on water resources.

“…This tenet arose to address complicated interdisciplinary problems affecting these parts of the system [3] . Additionally, in the "One Health, One Medicine" concept, animals and humans develop diseases sharing a common etiology, pathology, and/or even related treatment, therefore establishing a link between them [4] .…”

“…However, there is still a need for animal models with brain structures comparable to those of humans [10,11] . While non-human primates (NHPs) appear as the most relevant phylogenetic candidates for preclinical studies, research on them is fraught with ethical concerns [4,14,15] . Public opinion and disapproval of NHP research are based on the phenotypic/genetic proximity of NHPs to humans, their highly developed social skills, and many more characteristics [16] .…”

Sheep have been an important animal for both academic and basic sciences education, with a positive impact on the public health sector and, subsequently, One Health. This review presents the impact of sheep on research with a specific focus on neuroscience studies. Disorders, as well as neuroendocrine and environmental factors affecting the brain, the spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system, are selected, and relevant research and sheep models mimicking human diseases are described. The review discusses various sheep models, encompassing prion, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s disease, and neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (Batten Disease), along with ischemic stroke. Sheep play a pivotal role in elucidating the pathogenesis and/or treatment for the aforementioned diseases. Furthermore, this research is underpinned by solid neuroanatomy knowledge. Consequently, we outline the main reasons why sheep are such robust research models. In conclusion, we demonstrate the important role that sheep models fulfill in advancing the mission of the One Health Initiative.
