Research Interests
Dr. Hendrick's general research interest is the epidemiology of infectious diseases in cow-calf and feedlot operations. As a graduate student, Dr. Hendrick studied several aspects of paratuberculosis (Johne's disease) in dairy cattle. This research entailed an evaluation of a commercial milk ELISA; an estimation of the impact of paratuberculosis on milk production, milk quality and risk of being culled; and a measure of the effect of monensin sodium (Rumensin) on the fecal shedding of
M. paratuberculosis in dairy cattle. Future research in the area of paratuberculosis will focus on cow-calf herds in Western Canada.
