Our article on the peri-parturient relaxation of immunity is out in Vet Para (experiment >10 years ago, before I arrived at Moredun!). Ewes show declines in Th1 & Th2 cytokines, but increased regulatory cytokine around lamb birth, explaining an increase in FEC: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Late pregnancy is associated with an increase in regulatory cytokines and a decline in nematode-specific antibody levels in sheep infected with Teladorsagia circumcincta
The gastrointestinal nematode Teladorsagia circumcincta is a prevalent and economically important parasite of sheep. Sheep develop acquired immunity t…

Set up a couple of baited pitfall traps to see what dung beetles we’ve got in our grazing trial at our research farm. Looking forward to seeing what we’ve got in a week’s time!

Lots of fun in the Moredun tent at the Royal Highland Show yesterday, chatting to folk about various project and showing them revolting things in jars. Nipped out for a bit to see some animals and get the obligatory Valais Blacknose pic

Gearing up for our grazing trial with a look around the paddocks to see how the lambs are getting on- and also going into the sheds just because they’re cute up close 🙂
