A traditional approach in agricultural and veterinary research is focussing on the biological perspective where large cattle-databases are used to analyse the dairy herd. This approach has yielded valuable insights. However, recent research indicates that this knowledge-base can be further increased by examining agricultural and veterinary challenges from other perspectives. In this paper we suggest three perspectives that may supplement the biological perspective in agricultural and veterinary research; the economic-, the managerial-, and the social perspective. We review recent studies applying or combining these perspectives and discuss how multiple perspectives may improve our understanding and ability to handle cattle-health challenges.
在农业和兽医研究中，传统的方法侧重于生物学视角，利用大型牛群数据库来分析奶牛群。这种方法已经产生了有价值的见解。然而，最近的研究表明，通过从其他角度审视农业和兽医面临的挑战，可以进一步增加这一知识基础。在本文中，我们提出了三个可能在农业和兽医研究中补充生物学视角的视角：经济、管理和社会视角。我们回顾了最近应用或结合这些视角的研究，并讨论了多重视角如何提高我们对牛群健康挑战的理解和应对能力。
