The Wisconsin score (WI) was analyzed both as W+ (WI ≥ 5) and as a continuous predictor. A lamb clinical score and a score used for adult cow (BRD3) were adapted and evaluated in goats. Two goat-adapted point-based scores were assessed, including a regression-weighted score (CRTS) based on presence/absence of nasal discharge, ocular discharge, cough, rectal temperature (≥ 40.0 °C), and respiratory rate (≥ 40/min). Discrimination was quantified using AUC and cumulative-prevalence gradients across increasing score thresholds.ResultsWI showed high specificity but low sensitivity at WI≥ 5, and moderate discrimination as a continuous predictor (AUC 0.685 for any consolidation; 0.708 for >1.0 cm; 0.724 for >1.5 cm). The lamb score performed similarly (AUC 0.686, 0.702, and 0.714) and its class-based thresholds did not translate to goats. Goat scores improved discrimination: BRD3 adapted for goats AUCs were 0.725, 0.770, and 0.773, while CRTS achieved the highest AUCs (0.738, 0.771, and 0.778). Cumulative-prevalence curves showed increasing probability of consolidation at higher score values (e.g., 66.7% at BRD3 adapted for goats ≥7 and 71.4% at CRTS ≥ 9 for any consolidation). A visual-only CRTS variant excluding rectal temperature retained similar discrimination (AUC 0.736–0.771; −0.3%–−0.9% relative change).DiscussionStandardized calf- and lamb-derived scores showed only moderate agreement with goat TUS consolidation, particularly for mild lesions. The CRTS better ranked goats by probability of ultrasonographic lung consolidation and may support field triage for TUS, with an optional non-invasive variant when animal handling is constrained.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fvets.2026.1916007 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fvets.2026.1916007 2026-08-20T00:00:00Z Original Research Rio IkedaMaaya SaitoYuki IwataTakumi OzonoTsige Tadesse AlemayohTakatomi KuboEi-Ichi IzawaKoichi FujiwaraToshitaka YamakawaKazunori OhnoTakefumi KikusuiMiho Nagasawa https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fvets.2026.1910028 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fvets.2026.1910028 2026-08-20T00:00:00Z Original Research Lindsay NakonechnyViera PulverElpida ArtemiouAnastasia Chiara Stellato https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fvets.2026.1896506 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fvets.2026.1896506 2026-08-20T00:00:00Z Opinion Damian Alberto LampertMatias Russo https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fvets.2026.1906498 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fvets.2026.1906498 2026-08-20T00:00:00Z Original Research Hanjia ZhangYanbing BaiFan ZhangXuanyi LiuChunling GuoLinyue ZhouRuichi ZhangSisi WangQingfeng MengHao Dong https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fvets.2026.1860743 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fvets.2026.1860743 2026-08-20T00:00:00Z Original Research Dáša SchleicherováJatziri Mota-GutierrezClaudio ForteLaura OzellaFrancesca FusiMario VeveyStefania Bergagna https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fvets.2026.1927413 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fvets.2026.1927413 2026-08-20T00:00:00Z Original Research Avijit DeyShubham ThakurSanjay KumarTirtha Kumar Datta  0.05) to that in the control.

Cats walked on a pressure-sensitive treadmill (FDM-T-CanidGait®, zebris Medical GmbH, Isny, Germany) under two conditions: standing mode (stationary belt) and running mode (moving belt). Five 2-min trials per mode were recorded. Kinetic and temporospatial gait parameters were assessed, including peak vertical force, vertical impulse, stride length, stance and swing phase duration, and step width. Right and left limb data were pooled and analyzed collectively as forelimbs (FL) and hindlimbs (HL). Data were analyzed using robust linear mixed-effects models (R 4.4.3), with significance set at p < 0.05.ResultsSignificant differences between treadmill modes were detected for peak vertical force and vertical impulse in both forelimbs and hindlimbs (p < 0.01). Forelimb swing and stance phase durations also differed significantly (p < 0.05). In contrast, stride length, step width, and hindlimb temporal parameters did not differ significantly between modes. Estimated differences were generally small in magnitude across variables.ConclusionIn healthy cats, stride length, step width, and hindlimb temporal parameters were comparable between standing and running treadmill modes. In contrast, kinetic variables (peak vertical force and vertical impulse) and forelimb stance and swing phase durations differed significantly between modes and should therefore be interpreted only within the same treadmill mode. These findings indicate that treadmill modes may be used interchangeably for selected temporospatial parameters but not for kinetic variables or forelimb temporal parameters.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fvets.2026.1889103 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fvets.2026.1889103 2026-08-19T00:00:00Z Review Yanqin DuanMenghan XuXuan HuangQi Liu
