  • Mastitis Increases Mammary mRNA Abundance of β-Defensin 5, Toll-Like-Receptor 2 (TLR2), and TLR4 but Not TLR9 in Cattle

    Unknown

  • Host-response patterns of intramammary infections in dairy cows

    Ynte H. Schukken;J. Günther;J. L. Fitzpatrick;Michael C. Fontaine

  • Bovine TLR2 and TLR4 properly transduce signals from Staphylococcus aureus and E. coli, but S. aureus fails to both activate NF-kappaB in mammary epithelial cells and to quickly induce TNFalpha and interleukin-8 (CXCL8) expression in the udder.

    Unknown

  • Escherichia coli, but not Staphylococcus aureus triggers an early increased expression of factors contributing to the innate immune defense in the udder of the cow

    Unknown

  • Comparative Kinetics of Escherichia coli- and Staphylococcus aureus-Specific Activation of Key Immune Pathways in Mammary Epithelial Cells Demonstrates That S. aureus Elicits a Delayed Response Dominated by Interleukin-6 (IL-6) but Not by IL-1A or Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha

    Juliane Günther;Kathrin Esch;Norbert Poschadel;Wolfram Petzl

  • Altered functional and immunophenotypical properties of neutrophilic granulocytes in postpartum cows associated with fatty liver

    Unknown

  • Escherichia coli infection induces distinct local and systemic transcriptome responses in the mammary gland

    Simone Mitterhuemer;Wolfram Petzl;Stefan Krebs;Daniel Mehne

  • DNA-remethylation around a STAT5-binding enhancer in the αS1-casein promoter is associated with abrupt shutdown of αS1-casein synthesis during acute mastitis

    Unknown

  • Development and comparison of in vivo and in vitro models for endometritis in cows and mares

    Unknown

  • Escherichia coli- and Staphylococcus aureus -induced mastitis differentially modulate transcriptional responses in neighbouring uninfected bovine mammary gland quarters

    Kirsty Jensen;Juliane Günther;Richard Talbot;Wolfram Petzl

  • Differentiating Staphylococcus aureus from Escherichia coli mastitis: S. aureus triggers unbalanced immune-dampening and host cell invasion immediately after udder infection

    Unknown

  • Immunological responses to semen in the female genital tract.

    Unknown

  • Peripartal Propylene Glycol Supplementation and Metabolism, Animal Health, Fertility, and Production in Dairy Cows

    Unknown

  • Investigating the contribution of IL-17A and IL-17F to the host response during Escherichia coli mastitis.

    Perrine Roussel;Perrine Roussel;Patricia Cunha;Patricia Cunha;Adeline Porcherie;Adeline Porcherie;Wolfram Petzl

  • Interaction of intact porcine spermatozoa with epithelial cells and neutrophilic granulocytes during uterine passage.

    Unknown

  • Lipopolysaccharide pretreatment of the udder protects against experimental Escherichia coli mastitis

    Unknown

  • Lipopolysaccharide priming enhances expression of effectors of immune defence while decreasing expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in mammary epithelia cells from cows

    Juliane Günther;Wolfram Petzl;Holm Zerbe;Hans-Joachim Schuberth

  • Establishment of a standard operating procedure for predicting the time of calving in cattle

    Dominik Streyl;Carola Sauter-Louis;Anna Braunert;Dorothee Lange

  • Gene expression profiling of bovine peripartal placentomes: detection of molecular pathways potentially involved in the release of foetal membranes

    Dominik Streyl;Rebecca Kenngott;Nadja Herbach;Ruediger Wanke

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Pursuing a degree in Animal Science or Veterinary studies opens doors to various rewarding career paths. For those interested in exploring high paying jobs with animal science degree, options range from veterinary medicine and animal nutrition to wildlife conservation and research roles. Each specialization offers unique opportunities to work closely with animals and improve their health and wellbeing.

Beyond traditional veterinary roles, students can diversify their expertise through complementary programs. For example, many pursue an online exercise science degree to understand animal biomechanics or human-animal interaction in sports settings.

Career paths aren't limited to direct animal care; some graduates move into leadership roles such as becoming an athletic director. To understand this transition, it’s helpful to explore resources on how do i become an athletic director, which outlines relevant skills and qualifications.

For those interested in behavioral therapy, accredited certification programs like bcba accredited programs provide structured education paths leading to recognized credentials in applied behavior analysis.
