A field-applicable point-based triage score (CRTS) to identify goats with ultrasonographic lung consolidation

Giuliano Borriello, Sara Ferrini, Alice Zantonelli, Giulia Cagnotti et autres

Introduction: Respiratory disease in goats is frequently assessed using non-species-specific clinical scoring schemes, yet evidence on their agreement with thoracic ultrasonography (TUS) is limited. This study compared standardized clinical respiratory scores with TUS lung consolidation in adult goats and developed a goat-adapted …

Congenital central nervous system malformations in piedmontese calves—part 1. structural brain disorders

Sara Ferrini, Frine Scaglione, Giulia Cagnotti, Giuliano Borriello et autres

Introduction: Congenital central nervous system (CNS) malformations in cattle are likely underreported, and their true incidence, clinical spectrum, and etiological factors remain poorly characterized. This study describes the clinical and pathological features of congenital structural brain anomalies in Piedmontese calves. Methods: In …

Feasibility of 16S rRNA gene qPCR for rapid detection of pathogenic bacteria in bovine cerebrospinal fluid

Sara Ferrini, Patrizia Nebbia, Ugo Ala, Maria Cristina Stella et autres

Bacterial meningoencephalitis (BME) in cattle is responsible for economic losses due to mortality, neurological impairment, and decreased productivity. The use of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) bacterial culture-the gold standard for antemortem bacterial detection-is limited by its lengthy processing times and potential false negatives. …

Utility of an automated analyzer for cytological analysis of bovine cerebrospinal fluid

Sara Ferrini, Giuliano Borriello, Giulia Cagnotti, Ugo Ala et autres

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cytological analysis is essential for diagnosing central nervous system (CNS) disorders in cattle, yet conventional methods rely on manual cell counting and microscopic evaluation, which can be time-consuming. Automated CSF analysis offers the potential for significantly faster results, a …

Identification of Risk Factors Associated with Treatment for BRD in Beef Calves Within the First 60 Days After Arrival at Fattening Operations in Northwestern Italy Beef Calves

Isabella Nicola, Giuliano Borriello, Edoardo Ramacciotti, Giovanni Gallina et autres

Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) impacts beef cattle health and farming systems. To better understand the BRD predisposing factors, a study was conducted in northwest Italy on a population of 26 batches (760 animals) of beef cattle imported from France. Of these, 173 …

Neuro-ophthalmologic findings of hypovitaminosis a in beef cattle: a retrospective study

Giulia Cagnotti, Cristina Giordano, Giorgia Di Muro, Sara Ferrini et autres

Vitamin A in cattle is essential due to its antioxidant properties and importance in vision, immune function, reproduction, and cellular differentiation. This study investigates the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment outcomes of hypovitaminosis A in 15 Piedmontese calves, referred to the Veterinary …

Characterization of blood microbial population in beef calves with clinical signs of sepsis using 16S rRNA gene sequencing

Giuliano Borriello, Flaminia Valentini, Sara Ferrini, Giorgia Di Muro et autres

Sepsis, a dysregulated host response to infection, severely affects calf health. To date, sepsis diagnosis relies on clinical examination and positive blood culture. Differently, in humans 16S rRNA gene analysis is a valuable adjunct to blood culture as it allows for broader …

Neurofilament light chain (Nf-L) in cerebrospinal fluid and serum as a potential biomarker in the differential diagnosis of neurological diseases in cattle

Giorgia Di Muro, Carlotta Tessarolo, Giulia Cagnotti, Alessandra Favole et autres

Abstract Neurofilament light chain (Nf-L) is a biomarker for axonal damage in human neurology but is understudied in cattle. With this study we wanted to determine Nf-L stability at two different storage temperatures and Nf-L levels in healthy cattle and the relationship …

Cerebrospinal fluid L-lactate as a diagnostic marker for infectious-inflammatory disorders in the central nervous system of cattle

Sara Ferrini, Giulia Cagnotti, Ugo Ala, Eleonora Avilii et autres

Introduction: Bacterial infection of the central nervous system (CNS) poses a clinical challenge and is a leading cause of neurological disorders in cattle. Human studies have demonstrated an increase in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) L-lactate levels in bacterial meningitis. The aims of this …

Assessing lung consolidation in goats using different ultrasonographic techniques

Giuliano Borriello, Flaminia Valentini, Giulia Cagnotti, Maria Teresa Capucchio et autres

Goats are often affected by respiratory diseases and, despite ultrasonography can assess lung consolidations in several species, it is rarely used in these animals. So, this study evaluated the effectiveness of on-farm lung ultrasonography in detecting lung consolidations on 27 goats. The …
