Short communication: The effect of diarrhea and navel inflammation on the lying behavior of veal calves.

Many veal calves arrive to growing facilities with diseases, including diarrhea and navel inflammation. Observing neonatal calf behavior, such as lying behavior, can be used to better detect and determine the implications of these diseases. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of navel inflammation and diarrhea on lying behavior in neonatal veal calves.

Activity and milk compositional changes following experimentally induced Streptococcus uberis bovine mastitis.

Milk constituents and physical activity of cows experimentally infected with Streptococcus uberis mastitis were compared with those of uninfected cows. Twelve late-lactation Holsteins cows were paired based on milk production and parity. One cow in each pair was experimentally infected in the right front mammary gland with Strep.

Short communication: Bacterial counts in recycled manure solids bedding replaced daily or deep packed in freestalls.

An experiment was conducted to compare bacterial counts of mastitis pathogens in deep-packed manure solids bedding with those in manure solids bedding replaced daily from mattresses. Eighteen Holstein cows were housed in 1 pen with 18 stalls. One row of 9 stalls was equipped with mattresses topped with bedding.

The journey of a psychoanalyst.

This chapter discusses the author's involvement with contemporary self psychology.
