A Simulation model to estimate the relative economic value of three different open female management strategies among cow-calf herds in the United States
Creators: name: Nickell, Jason
Publisher: name: The Bovine Practitioner
Year: 2012

description: The sale of non-pregnant (open) females constitutes significant annual income for cow-calf producers, thereby requiring critical evaluation of multiple open-female management opportunities. A stochastic model was constructed to estimate the relative economic value of three common open female management practices within spring-calving beef herds consisting of 50, 300, and 600 head of cattle: (A) cull open females and replace with purchased pregnant females, (B) maintain open females in the herd, and (C) transfer open females into a fall herd. The temporal confines of each model reflect the time frame from the original open diagnosis until the time point of marketing first-generation calves produced by females from each respective management option. Based upon the model assumptions, Option C, on average, was a profitable endeavor regardless of herd size. Conversely, Options A and B were only sparingly profitable regardless of herd size. The market cost of purchasing pregnant replacement females, the cost of maintaining open females in the herd, and the cost of maintaining recently bred females through the winter months heavily influenced the estimates of Options A, B, and C, respectively. Based upon the confines of this model, these data suggest that regardless of evaluated herd size, the economic value of these open-female management options differ highly and are influenced by multiple factors. Therefore, the influential parameters of the outcome estimates, along with the management limitations of individual herds, should be considered when attempting to implement open-female management strategies among cow-calf herds.

description: Caseous lymphadenitis, caused by the bacterium Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis, is of importance to small ruminant producers worldwide. The chronic persistent nature of the disease process makes it challenging to effectively treat or control once endemic in a herd or flock. This article discusses the recent advances and time-honored methods utilized in the management of caseous lymphadenitis in sheep and goats, as well as the associated advantages and disadvantages of each.

description: Newly-graduated veterinary practitioners are equipped with an impressive science education when they step into their first jobs. They’re enthused about their new careers and eager to ply their skills. The post-graduate Real World is full of challenges; however, and not all of them were addressed in the veterinary curriculum. Consider the stresses of moving into a new community. Or trying to sort out the peculiarities, people and politics in the practice. There may be clients who are openly skeptical of the new graduate because they are inexperienced and/or unfamiliar to them. The shift to the working world can be daunting. The success-limiting species for veterinary practitioners walks on 2 legs, not 4. The power and practice of applying fundamental ‘people skills’ like listening, learning and leading will build credibility, relationships and serve as a foundation for success in practice.

description: We construct infinite new classes of supersymmetric solutions of D=11 supergravity that are warped products of AdS_3 with an eight-dimensional manifold M_8 and have non-vanishing four-form flux. In order to be compact, M_8 is constructed as an S^2 bundle over a six-dimensional manifold B_6 which is either Kähler-Einstein or a product of Kähler-Einstein spaces. In the special cases that B_6 contains a two-torus, we also obtain new AdS_3 solutions of type IIB supergravity, with constant dilaton and only five-form flux. Via the AdS-CFT correspondence the solutions with compact M_8 will be dual to two-dimensional conformal field theories with N=(0,2) supersymmetry. Our construction can also describe non-compact geometries and we briefly discuss examples in type IIB which are dual to four-dimensional N=1 superconformal theories coupled to string-like defects.

description: A study was conducted to assess the immunological response to a Mannheimia haemolytica bacterin-leukotoxoid, given separately or concurrently with a multivalent intranasally administered modified-live viral vaccine to range beef calves. Initially 202 spring-born calves were screened for infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR), bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV), and M. haemolytica leukotoxin antibody titers on day-30. A total of 154 calves with day 0 geometric mean IBR titers of <1:6 were accepted into the study. Fifty-one calves were assigned to treatment group T1 (M. haemolytica bacterin-leukotoxoid only; One Shot®, Pfizer Animal Health, New York, NY) and 51 calves were assigned to group T2 (intranasal modified-live virus (MLV) bovine herpesvirus-1 (BHV-1) and parainfluenza-3 (PI3) vaccine; TSV-2®, Pfizer Animal Health) and M. haemolytica bacterin-leukotoxoid (One Shot®). Fifty-two calves were assigned to group T3 intranasal MLV BHV-1, PI3, and BRSV vaccine (INFORCETM 3, Pfizer Animal Health) and M. haemolytica bacterin-leukotoxoid (One Shot®). On day 0, all study calves were administered their assigned vaccine. On day 91, all calves in the study were administered a pentavalent MLV vaccine containing BHV-1, BVD types 1 and 2, BRSV, and PI3 antigens (Bovi-Shield GOLD® 5, Pfizer Animal Health) and M. haemolytica bacterin-leukotoxoid (One Shot®) at separate injection sites. On days 0, 14, 28, 91, and 112, blood samples were collected, serum separated, and held frozen until completion of the study, at which time samples were evaluated for IBR and BRSV serum neutralization antibody titers and M. haemolytica leukotoxin antibody concentrations. Results demonstrated concurrent administration of the intranasal vaccines and the M. haemolytica bacterin-leukotoxoid did not affect the bacterin-leukotoxoid serological response. Calves vaccinated with intranasal BRSV vaccine had a significant (P less than 0.05) increase in BRSV antibody response when revaccinated systemically with injectable 5-way MLV vaccine 90 days later. Vaccination with M. haemolytica bacterin-leukotoxoid at approximately eight weeks of age resulted in a statistically significant (P less than 0.05) anamnestic response following revaccination 90 days later.

description: Feedlot veterinarians (n=23) representing 11,295,000 cattle on feed in the United States and Canada participated in a beef cattle health and well-being recommendation survey. Veterinarians were directed to an online survey to answer feeder cattle husbandry, health, and preventive medicine recommendation questions. The feedlot veterinarians visited feedyards in their practice 1.7 times per month. All survey participants train feedlot employees on cattle handling and pen riding, while only 13% of respondents speak Spanish. All recommend infectious bovine rhinotracheitis and bovine viral diarrhea vaccination for high-risk (HR), cattle at processing; other vaccines were not recommended as frequently. Autogenous bacterins were recommended by 39.1% of feedlot veterinarians for HR cattle, while metaphylaxis and feed-grade antibiotics were recommended by 95% and 52% of respondents, respectively, for HR cattle. Banding was more frequently recommended than surgical castration as calf body weight increased. Feedlot veterinarians recommended starting HR cattle in smaller pens (103 head per pen) and allowing 13 inches (33 cm) per head of bunk space. They further recommend that feedlots employ one feedlot doctor per 7,083 head of HR cattle, and one pen rider per 2,739 head of HR cattle. Ancillary therapy for treating respiratory disease was recommended by 47.8% of veterinarians surveyed; vitamin C was recommended (30.4%) twice as often as any other ancillary therapy. Cattle health risk on arrival, weather patterns, and labor availability were most important factors for predicting feedlot morbidity, while metaphylactic antibiotic, therapy antibiotic, and brand of vaccine were least important. This survey provides valuable insight into feeder cattle health recommendations by feedlot veterinarians in the US and Canada, and provides direction for future research.

description: Materials with massless Dirac fermions can possess exceptionally strong and widely tunable optical nonlinearities. Experiments on graphene monolayer have indeed found very large third-order nonlinear responses, but the reported variation of the nonlinear optical coefficient by orders of magnitude is not yet understood. A large part of the difficulty is the lack of information on how doping or chemical potential affects the different nonlinear optical processes. Here we report the first experimental study, in corroboration with theory, on third harmonic generation (THG) and four-wave mixing (FWM) in graphene that has its chemical potential tuned by ion-gel gating. THG was seen to have enhanced by ~30 times when pristine graphene was heavily doped, while difference-frequency FWM appeared just the opposite. The latter was found to have a strong divergence toward degenerate FWM in undoped graphene, leading to a giant third-order nonlinearity. These truly amazing characteristics of graphene come from the possibility to gate-control the chemical potential, which selectively switches on and off one- and multi-photon resonant transitions that coherently contribute to the optical nonlinearity, and therefore can be utilized to develop graphene-based nonlinear optoelectronic devices.

description: Abstract: "The Medial Axis Transform (MAT) was defined by Blum in the sixties as an alternate description of the shape of an object. Since then, its potential applicability in a wide range of engineering domains has been acknowledged. However, this potential has never quite been realized, except recently in two dimensions. One reason is the difficulty in defining algorithms for finding the MAT, especially in three dimensions. Another reason is the lack of incentive for modeling designs directly in MAT's. Given this impasse, some lateral thinking appears to be in order. Perhaps the MAT per se is not the only skeleton which can be used. Are there other, more easily derived skeletons, which share the properties of the MAT which are of interest in engineering design? In this work, we identify a set of properties of the MAT which, we argue, are of primary interest. Briefly, these properties are dimensional reduction (in the sense of having no interior), topological equivalence, and invertibility. For the restricted class of discrete objects, we define an algorithm for identifying a point set, generally called a skeleton, which shares these properties with the MAT. The algorithm will be defined for two dimensions, and a proof will be outlined. The true focus of our work, however, lies in the extension of this to three dimensions. We present ideas on how the 2D algorithm can be extended to 3D objects, and also present a line of argument which should extend the proofs of the 2D algorithm to three dimensions."

description: A significant number of patients (pts) with metastatic melanoma do not respond to anti-programmed cell death 1 (PD1) therapies. Identifying predictive biomarkers therefore remains an urgent need. We retrospectively analyzed plasma DNA of pts with advanced melanoma treated with PD-1 antibodies, nivolumab or pembrolizumab, for five PD-1 genotype single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs): PD1.1 (rs36084323, G>A), PD1.3 (rs11568821, G>A), PD1.5 (rs2227981, C>T) PD1.6 (rs10204225, G>A) and PD1.9 (rs2227982, C>T). Clinico-pathological and treatment parameters were collected, and presence of SNPs correlated with response, progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). 115 patients were identified with a median follow up of 18.7 months (range 0.26 – 52.0 months). All were Caucasian; 27% BRAF V600 mutation positive. At PD-1 antibody commencement, 36% were treatment-naïve and 52% had prior ipilimumab. The overall response rate was 43%, 19% achieving a complete response. Overall median PFS was 11.0 months (95% CI 5.4 - 17.3) and median OS was 31.1 months (95% CI 23.2 - NA). Patients with the G/G genotype had more complete responses than with A/G genotype (16.5% vs. 2.6% respectively) and the G allele of PD1.3 rs11568821 was significantly associated with a longer median PFS than the AG allele, 14.1 vs. 7.0 months compared to the A allele (p=0.04; 95% CI 0.14 – 0.94). No significant association between the remaining SNPs and responses, PFS or OS were observed. Despite limitations in sample size, this is the first study to demonstrate an association of a germline PD-1 polymorphism and PFS in response to anti-PD-1 therapy in pts with metastatic melanoma. Extrinsic factors like host germline polymorphisms should be considered with tumor intrinsic factors as predictive biomarkers for immune checkpoint regulators.

description: CMB B-mode experiments are required to control systematic effects with an unprecedented level of accuracy. Polarization modulation by a half wave plate (HWP) is a powerful technique able to mitigate a large number of the instrumental systematics. Our goal is to optimize the polarization modulation strategy of the upcoming LSPE-SWIPE balloon-borne experiment, devoted to the accurate measurement of CMB polarization at large angular scales. We depart from the nominal LSPE-SWIPE modulation strategy (HWP stepped every 60 s with a telescope scanning at around 12 deg/s) and perform a thorough investigation of a wide range of possible HWP schemes (either in stepped or continuously spinning mode and at different azimuth telescope scan-speeds) in the frequency, map and angular power spectrum domain. In addition, we probe the effect of high-pass and band-pass filters of the data stream and explore the HWP response in the minimal case of one detector for one operation day (critical for the single-detector calibration process). We finally test the modulation performance against typical HWP-induced systematics. Our analysis shows that some stepped HWP schemes, either slowly rotating or combined with slow telescope modulations, represent poor choices. Moreover, our results point out that the nominal configuration may not be the most convenient choice. While a large class of spinning designs provides comparable results in terms of pixel angle coverage, map-making residuals and BB power spectrum standard deviations with respect to the nominal strategy, we find that some specific configurations (e.g., a rapidly spinning HWP with a slow gondola modulation) allow a more efficient polarization recovery in more general real-case situations. Although our simulations are specific to the LSPE-SWIPE mission, the general outcomes of our analysis can be easily generalized to other CMB polarization experiments.

Colostrum replacers

description: Veterinary practitioners must understand the differences in immunoglobulin G (IgG) content between different types of colostrum replacers, as well as the efficiency of immunoglobulin absorption from various sources. In a disease control program, to protect against Mycoplasma bovis, Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis exposure, and the potential for exposure to bovine leukemia virus, a colostrum replacer is a viable option to feeding maternal colostrum that might be contaminated with these potential pathogens. Veterinarians should also weigh the convenience, relative simplicity, and accuracy of administering a colostrum replacer versus the expense and intricate protocol necessary to properly manage maternal colostrum. Dried colostrumderived colostrum replacers supply predominately IgG1, while colostrum replacers derived from bovine plasma or serum supply 50% IgG1 and 50% IgG2 immunoglobulins. It is acceptable to utilize colostrum replacers of proven quality in place of raw, pooled or pasteurized maternal colostrum, providing the necessary amount of total IgG is administered for the birth weight of the calf. If administered properly, colostrum replacers can provide passive transfer of immunity for neonatal calves.

description: We investigate the structure and magneto-transport properties of thin films of the Co_2Cr_xFe_(1-x)Al full-Heusler compound, which is predicted to be a half-metal by first-principles theoretical calculations. Thin films are deposited by magnetron sputtering at room temperature on various substrates in order to tune the growth from polycrystalline on thermally oxidized Si substrates to highly textured and even epitaxial on MgO(001) substrates, respectively. Our Heusler films are magnetically very soft and ferromagnetic with Curie temperatures up to 630 K. The total magnetic moment is reduced compared to the theoretical bulk value, but still comparable to values reported for films grown at elevated temperature. Polycrystalline Heusler films combined with MgO barriers are incorporated into magnetic tunnel junctions and yield 37% magnetoresistance at room temperature.

The approach is to decompose the problem into a set of loosely coupled, much smaller problems that can be solved by a team of cooperating agents. The team is expandable and its agents are autonomous, work in parallel, and communicate asynchronously. Most of the current cadre of agents use algorithms that are either well-known or fairly obvious. One type, however, uses a new algorithm for finding starting points for nonlinear programming codes. This algorithm is described and the performance of the team illustrated with small examples."

description: Innovation districts are a relatively new strategy in urban economic development. They have been fast gaining attention and popularity, due in part to energetic third-party promotion and the apparent successes of two early adopters: Barcelona and Boston. As additional cities establish and promote innovation districts, it benefits policymakers to possess information regarding their characteristics and suitability as an economic development approach. We conduct in-depth case studies of four innovation districts in the United States—located in Boston, Detroit, Saint Louis, and San Diego—that present contrasting settings, policies, and outcomes. The empirical information is drawn primarily from interviews with the innovation district creators and implementers and the entrepreneurs embedded within them. We assess the expectations, design, implementation, and operation of these innovation districts, with reference to stated and normative policy goals along with theories of regional economic development. Our purpose is to provide scholars and policymakers with guidance as to how, and how well, innovation districts may achieve the aim of urban economic development to generate economic dynamism and prosperity.

description: Background: Cognitive impairment is prevalent and often highly burdensome in people with schizophrenia. The aim of this study was to investigate if mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana Linn.) pericarp extract may be an effective intervention to improve cognitive performance in this population.Methods: This was a secondary analysis of a larger randomized placebo-controlled trial that investigated a 24-weeks intervention of mangosteen pericarp extract supplementation in people diagnosed with schizophrenia. A subset of n = 114 participants with completed cognitive outcomes at follow up were included in this analysis. Using the Cogstate Brief Battery, the following cognitive outcomes were assessed: psychomotor function, attention, visual learning and memory (visual and working). Subgroup analyses investigated whether baseline clinical parameters (baseline cognitive functioning, illness severity and duration, depressive symptoms) moderated the relationship between mangosteen pericarp extract intervention and change in cognitive outcomes.Results: There were no significant between-group changes in any cognitive outcomes assessed. Subgroup analysis based on baseline cognition and clinical characteristics did not reveal any significant between-group difference in change.Conclusions: Mangosteen pericarp extract did not affect cognitive outcomes in people with schizophrenia. Further investigation regarding optimal dosing strategies for mangosteen interventions and the testing of additional cognitive domains may be warranted.Trial Registration:ANZCTR.org.au identifier: ACTRN12616000859482, registered 30 June 3 2016.

description: We determine the relative ages of the open cluster NGC 188 and selected Hipparcos field stars by isochrone fitting, and compare them to the age of the thick disk globular cluster 47 Tuc. The best fit age for NGC 188 was determined to be $6.5 \pm 1.0$ Gyr. The solar metallicity Hipparcos field stars yielded a slightly older thin disk age, $7.5 \pm 0.7$ Gyr. Two slightly metal-poor ($\feh = -0.22$) field stars whose kinematic and orbital parameters indicate that they are members of the thin disk were found to have an age of $9.7\pm 0.6$ Gyr. The age for 47 Tuc was determined to be $12.5 \pm 1.5$ Gyr. All errors are internal errors due to the uncertainty in the values of metallicity and reddening. Thus, the oldest stars dated in the thin disk are found to be $2.8\pm 1.6$ Gyr younger than 47 Tuc. Furthermore, as discussed by \citet{Chb99} 47 Tuc has a similar age to three globular clusters located in the inner part of the Galactic halo, implying that star formation in the thin disk started within $2.8\pm 1.6$ Gyr of star formation in the halo.

description: The Ginzburg-Landau free energy functional for hard-spheres is constructed using the Fundamental Measure Theory approach to Density Functional Theory as a starting point. The functional is used to study the liquid-fcc solid planer interface and the properties of small solid clusters nucleating within a liquid. The surface tension for planer interfaces agrees well with simulation and it is found that the properties of the solid clusters are consistent with classical nucleation theory.

description: - The Internet of Things (IoT) is the result of many different enabling technologies such as embedded systems, wireless sensor networks, cloud computing, big-data, etc. used to gather, process, infer, and transmit data. Integrating all these technologies requires a comprehensive and holistic research effort to address all the challenges imposed by these technologies, especially for sensing and delivering information from physical world to cloud-hosted services. In this paper, we outline the most important issues related to standardization efforts, mobility of objects, networking and gateway access, and QoS support. In particular, we describe a novel IoT network architecture that integrates Software Defined Networking (SDN) and the Object Management Group's Data Distribution Service (DDS) middleware. The proposed architecture will improve service delivery of IoT system and will bring flexibility to the network.
Nutrient accounting at the herd, field, and whole-farm levels on two Pennsylvania dairy farms

description: The objective of this study was to evaluate nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) utilization efficiencies and environmental implications on two dairy farms and identify areas where veterinarians can make an impact. The study surveyed two commercial dairy farms in southeastern Pennsylvania, Farm A and Farm B. Each farm owner provided information regarding the management of animals, crops and animal waste. This information was used to calculate a nutrient flow for N and P at the herd, crop, and farm level. The herd-level evaluation accounted for nutrients directly entering the animals in the form of feed, captured in the body during growth, and exiting the animals as manure and milk. The crop-level nutrient balance accounted for manure and imported fertilizer spread on the fields, compared with the nutrient uptake rates of the crops grown. The whole-farm evaluation describes the nutrient flow across the farm boundaries. Based on the information collected during this survey, both farms were net importers of N and P. However, efficiency of N and P were calculated as higher than previously reported in the literature. The milk nitrogen efficiencies on Farm A and Farm B were calculated to be 25% and 23%, respectively. The herd phosphorus utilization efficiency was calculated to be 46% and 39% on Farm A and B, respectively. Despite excellent nutrient utilization, the study identified management practice changes that would yield positive environmental and economic outcomes.

Chiral surface states on the step edge in a Weyl semimetal

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: A Weyl semimetal with a pair of Weyl nodes accommodates chiral states on its flat surface if the Weyl nodes are projected onto two different points in the corresponding surface Brillouin zone. These surface states are collectively referred to as a Fermi arc as they appear to connect the projected Weyl nodes. This statement assumes that translational symmetry is present on the surface and hence electron momentum is a conserved quantity. It is unclear how chiral surface states are modified if the translational symmetry is broken by a particular system structure. Here, focusing on a straight step edge of finite width, we numerically analyze how chiral surface states appear on it. It is shown that the chiral surface states are algebraically (i.e., weakly) localized near the step edge. It is also shown that the appearance of chiral surface states is approximately determined by a simple condition characterized by the number of unit atomic layers constituting the step edge together with the location of the Weyl nodes.

description: Interventions to reduce on-farm risk are important to help decrease the likelihood that the public will come into contact with Escherichia coli O157. Dairy cattle housed at an Ontario animal exhibit were immunized against E. coli O157, and their blood was tested to measure antibody titers to type III secretory proteins in the vaccine. Data collected during this retrospective study supports the conclusions that all animals, including young calves, immunologically responded to vaccination. At the end of a nine-month study period, those animals which received a two-dose vaccination protocol had similar antibody titers to the type III secretory proteins as those administered a three-dose protocol, and all animals immunologically responded to a single annual booster dose of vaccine.

description: Distributed energy resources and demand-side management are expected to become more prevalent in the future electric power system. Coordinating the increased number of grid participants in an efficient and reliable way is going to be a major challenge. A potential solution is the employment of a distributed energy management approach, which uses intelligence distributed over the grid to balance supply and demand. In this paper, we specifically consider the situation in which distributed resources and loads form microgrids within the bulk power system in which the load is supplied by local generation. A distributed energy management approach based on the consensus + innovations method is presented and used to coordinate local generation, flexible load, and storage devices within the microgrid. The approach takes advantage of the fact that, at the optimal allocation settings, the marginal costs given as a function of the power output/consumption need to be equal for all nonbinding network resources. Solutions for single time step, as well as multitime step optimization including intertemporal constraints, are presented.

 Pseudoanthidium (Pseudoanthidium): Anthidium (Pseudoanthidium) Friese, 1898: 101. Type species: Anthidium alpinum Morawitz, 1873, designated by Sandhouse, 1943: 593.
 Diagnosis: All Chinese species of Pseudoanthidium belong to the nominate subgenus that can be recognized by the combination of punctation of terga similar in diameter and density across the surface, without distinct apical depressed zone; apical margins of terga broadly impunctate (several puncture widths); pronotal lobe at least narrowly lamellate; hind tibia tuberculate; male sixth tergite without lateral spine; male third sternum with modified hairs; female clypeal apical margin covered with dense pubescence (Litman et al., 2016). As now constituted, Pseudoanthidium typically has a blocky head and round metasoma in cross-section.

description: We present a method for solving BPS equations obtained in the collective-field approach to matrix models. The method enables us to find BPS solutions and quantum excitations around these solutions in the one-matrix model, and in general for the Calogero model. These semiclassical solutions correspond to giant gravitons described by matrix models obtained in the framework of AdS/CFT correspondence. The two-field model, associated with two types of giant gravitons, is investigated. In this duality-based matrix model we find the finite form of the $n$-soliton solution. The singular limit of this solution is examined and a realization of open-closed string duality is proposed.

description: The search for the B-mode polarization of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) is the new frontier of observational Cosmology. A B-mode detection would give an ultimate confirmation to the existence of a primordial Gravitational Wave (GW) background as predicted in the inflationary scenario. Several experiments have been designed or planned to observe B-modes. In this work we focus on the forthcoming Large Scale Polarization Explorer (LSPE) experiment, that will be devoted to the accurate measurement of CMB polarization at large angular scales. LSPE consists of a balloon-borne bolometric instrument, the Short Wavelength Instrument for the Polarization Explorer (SWIPE), and a ground-based coherent polarimeter array, the STRatospheric Italian Polarimeter (STRIP). SWIPE will employ a rotating Half Wave Plate (HWP) polarization modulator to mitigate the systematic effects due to instrumental non-idealities. We present here preliminary forecasts aimed at optimizing the HWP configuration.

Publisher: name: The Bovine Practitioner
Year: 2012

description: Culture-based treatment of mastitis has been advocated to reduce expenses of treatment and discarded milk and to improve treatment results. Ideally, identification of mastitis pathogens should be performed in a laboratory accessible to dairy farms within a reasonable amount of time. Results can usually be made available to farms the following day, before the time of day that treatments are normally administered. Mastitis pathogens can be successfully identified in a practice-based laboratory using standardized methods. Examples of specific, step-by-step methods, including needed materials, are described to aid in developing and operating a mastitis laboratory. A novel method of reporting results utilizing Google Docs is described.

description: Diagnostic specimens collected postmortem from a seven-month-old, 275 lb (125 kg), unweaned, emaciated Blonde bull calf born to a Johne's-infected dam confirmed infection with Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP). This case represents the third generation in one line of cattle to be infected with MAP. Transmission of infection from dam to calf is an important means of sustaining Johne's disease in cow-calf herds. Not all submitted tissue samples cultured positive for MAP, illustrating the need to submit an adequate number of samples from appropriate locations to make a positive diagnosis. Positive cultures from composite environmental samples coincided with the presence of the clinically-affected dam of this calf.
