At the same time, increasing antimicrobial resistance and stringent regulations require the responsible use of this antibiotic class. Penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) are located within the bacterial cell […]

Following the sunny summer we have enjoyed, one could almost forget how cold and damp autumn can be. These are conditions that contribute to the frequent occurrence of respiratory infections during this season. This is hardly surprising, as the respiratory tract is in direct contact with the external environment and is therefore continuously exposed to […]

A distinctive feature of autogenous vaccines is that each vaccine batch is unique. In addition, autogenous vaccines are exempt from marketing authorisation requirements (in Europe). This means that no specific safety and efficacy tests are performed for each individual batch. The tolerability of autogenous vaccines is influenced by a wide range of factors. The antigens […]

As (bovine) veterinarians, we appreciate clarity. We work with protocols, herd treatment plans, vaccination schedules, and so on. This structured approach gives both us and the farmer a sense of order and reliability. However, not every condition can be managed in a strictly protocol‑driven way. Take, for example, the treatment of Udder Cleft Dermatitis (UCD). […]

One of the body’s defence systems is the production of bronchial mucus, which is secreted by the goblet cells in the airways (more precisely: the Paneth cells of the alveolar epithelium). This mucus is produced continuously and transported upwards by the cilia of the epithelial cells. Its purpose includes clearing the respiratory tract of dust, […]
