Dairy cattle mortality as a sensitive warning system for the effects of high and low ambient temperature on human health
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Extreme temperatures are associated with increased mortality among humans. The use of animal sentinels may improve causality of epidemiologic findings in humans and may provide additional insights. Animal sentinels have the advantage that they are less subject to concurrent exposures, bias due to confounding, and exposure misclassification than human populations. Therefore, we investigated the effects of low and high ambient temperature on the risk of mortality among dairy cattle.

Background: Municipal waste incineration are one of the largest resources of 2,3,7,8- tetrachlorodibenzo-pdioxins (TCDDs) and Polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) from incineration ends up in water and food cycle are taken up by fish and etc. These gaseous emission products tend to give rise to concern due to their carcinogenic potential, as well as their potential adverse health effects on re...
متن کاملCattle mortality as a sentinel for the effects of ambient air pollution on human health
Background Air pollution is a trigger for human mortality. Although studies of spontaneous animal disease can provide additional insights, the short-term effects of air pollution on mortality have never been studied in animal populations. Animal sentinels are less subject to concurrent exposures, bias due to confounding, and exposure misclassification than human populations. Therefore we invest...
متن کاملEffect of Metabolic Stress on Ovarian Activity and Reproductive Performance of Dairy Cattle: A Review
Reproductive efficiency in dairy cattle has been decreased over the last 5 decades despite significant gains in genetic selection, improved reproductive technologies and nutritional care. In high-yielding dairy cattle, the negative energy balance (NEB) during the first week post-partum adversely affects ovarian activity, mainly follicle growth and steroidogenesis. Circulating levels of non-este...
