Hudson, Christopher D. and Huxley, Jonathan N. and Green, Martin J. (2014) Using simulation to interpret a discrete time survival model in a complex biological system: fertility and lameness in dairy cows. PLoS ONE,
The ever-growing volume of data routinely collected and stored in everyday life presents researchers with a number of opportunities to gain insight and make predictions. This study aimed to demonstrate the usefulness in a specific clinical context of a simulation-based technique called probabilistic sensitivity analysis (PSA) in interpreting the results of a discrete time survival model based o...
متن کاملGreen, Martin J. and Medley, Graham F. and Bradley, Andrew J. and Browne, William J. (2009) Management interventions in dairy herds: exploring within herd uncertainty using an integrated Bayesian model
Knowledge of the efficacy of an intervention for disease control on an individual farm is essential to make good decisions on preventive healthcare, but the uncertainty in outcome associated with undertaking a specific control strategy has rarely been considered in veterinary medicine. The purpose of this research was to explore the uncertainty in change in disease incidence and financial benef...
متن کاملCurrent management practices and interventions prioritised as part of a nationwide mastitis control plan
The objectives of this study were to report performance and management data taken from a sample of UK dairy farms that have participated in the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board Dairy Mastitis Control Plan (DMCP) and to identify important mastitis prevention practices that are not currently widely implemented. A total of 234 UK dairy herds were included in the study from which farm...
متن کاملAssociations between udder health and reproductive performance in United Kingdom dairy cows.
The objective of this research was to evaluate the relationship between udder health and reproductive performance in UK dairy cows. Data from 80 herds were restructured such that each unit of data represented a 2-d period during lactation where a cow was at risk of becoming pregnant. Multilevel discrete-time survival models were then used within a Bayesian framework to explore associations betw...
