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.

Farmers are shown to be adept at recognizing even mildly lame sheep but they vary in their management of the affected individuals in their flocks, which can result in the spread of infectious lameness through lack of early intervention.
BMC Veterinary Research 2008, 4 :38
Increased amounts of normal prion protein in cattle with idiopathic brainstem neuronal chromatolysis, a rare neurological disease with clinical similarities to bovine spongiform encephalopathy, suggest that this protein may also be involved in other disorders.

The majority of herds in south-west England include cattle that are seropositive for the protozoan parasite Neospora caninum, with transmission appearing to occur both vertically and horizontally and to be enhanced by between-herd movement.
