Welcome to BMC Veterinary Research published by BioMed Central
BMC Veterinary Research is an open access journal publishing original peer-reviewed research articles in all aspects of veterinary science and medicine, including the epidemiology, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of medical conditions of domestic, companion, farm and wild animals, as well as the biomedical processes that underlie their health.
BMC Veterinary Research (ISSN 1746-6148) is indexed/tracked/covered by PubMed, MEDLINE, CAS, Thomson Reuters (ISI) and Google Scholar.

Levels of the steroid androstenone, a principal component of boar taint, are influenced by genes expressed in the male pig liver regulating phase I oxidation metabolism, phase II conjugation metabolism and steroid availability.

Sheep infected with the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) agent were found to display the same clinical signs seen in classical scrapie disease, although intense itching and scratching symptoms manifested earlier in the course of BSE infection.
BMC Veterinary Research 2008, 4 :14
Milk from scrapie-affected ewes is capable of transmitting the infectious prion protein to unaffected, genetically susceptible lambs, although it remains to be determined whether the lambs then develop scrapie disease symptoms.
