Extract Sir,—D. P. Sinclair, Superintendent, Manutuke Research Station, has drawn my attention to a condition of ewes' udders which may cause many of the lamb deaths due to starvation or exposure which are noted in perinatal Iamb death surveys in New Zealand. 相似文献

Primiparous ewes and multiparous ewes show physiological differences during pregnancy, which can have an impact on the development of their offspring. The objective of this study was to compare the changes in the metabolic profile and in the size of some foetal bones throughout gestation between primiparous and multiparous ewes. Twelve primiparous (PM) ewes and 14 multiparous (MT) ewes were used. According to the dates of lambing, two groups of ewes were formed: Group 1 (G1, n = 6 PM and n = 7 MT) and Group 2 (G2, n = 6 PM and n = 7 MT). The body weight, body condition score, metabolic and foetal morphometric parameters were determined from before conception until the end of gestation. After lambing, the body weight and survival rate during the first 72 hr of life of lambs, as well as the maternal behaviour score were recorded. The PM ewes were lighter (p < .01) and had a greater mobilization of body reserves during gestation, mainly evidenced by a greater serum concentration of NEFAs and lower serum concentration of total proteins (p < .05) compared with the MT ewes. The parity did not affect the foetal morphometric variables. The lambs of MT ewes were heavier at parturition (p = .002) and tended to have a greater survival rate than those lambs of PM ewes (p = .09). In conclusion, PM ewes and MT ewes differ in their metabolic profile throughout the gestation. However, in the present study, we did not find parity differences in the dimensions of foetal bones during growth in gestation. 相似文献

Abstract Extract The economic importance of vaginal prolapse in ewes depends not only on the incidence, which has been shown to vary from farm to farm, district to district, year to year (Edgar, 1952; McLean, 1957), and according to topography (McLean, 1957), but also upon the outcome of the disease in losses of ewes and Iambs. It must be appreciated that, although it is becoming more common than hitherto for veterinary assistance to besought, by custom and tradition the great majority of cases are still treated by the farmer himself or his shepherd. The kind of treatment that cases thus receive and the conditions under which treatment is given can perhaps best be described as “rough and ready”. The mortality rates in ewes and lambs to be described in this paper are those associated with this kind of treatment. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to examine foetal organs and placental tissue to establish a correlation between the changes in the composition of these structures associated with their maturation and the ultrasonographic characteristics of the images. Twenty‐four pregnant ewes were included in the study. Ultrasonography assessments were performed in B‐mode, from the ninth gestational week until parturition. The lungs, liver and kidneys of foetuses and placentomes were located in transverse and longitudinal sections to evaluate the echogenicity (hypoechoic, isoechoic, hyperechoic or mixed) and echotexture (homogeneous and heterogeneous) of the tissues of interest. For quantitative evaluation of the ultrasonographic characteristics, it was performed a computerized image analysis using a commercial software (Image ProPlus®). Mean numerical pixel values (NPVs), pixel heterogeneity (standard deviation of NPVs) and minimum and maximum pixel values were measured by selecting five circular regions of interest in each assessed tissue. All evaluated tissues presented significant variations in the NPVs, except for the liver. Pulmonary NPVmean, NPVmin and NPVmax decreased gradually through gestational weeks. The renal parameters gradually decreased with the advancement of the gestational weeks until the 17th week and later stabilized. The placentome NPVmean, NPVmin and NPVmax decreased gradually over the course of weeks. The hepatic tissue did not show echogenicity and echotexture variations and presented medium echogenicity and homogeneous echotexture throughout the experimental period. It was concluded that pixels numerical evaluation of maternal‐foetal tissues was applicable and allowed the identification of quantitative ultrasonographic characteristics showing changes in echogenicity related to gestational age. 相似文献

Extract During the spring of 1997, there has been a high prevalence of “bearings” (vaginal prolapse) on a number of farms in Southland. No doubt other regions of New Zealand have had similar problems. 相似文献

Lidocaine intoxication developed inadvertently in a group of ewes. Six ewes used in a student laboratory session on laparotomy procedures were anesthetized locally with lidocaine hydrochloride (20 mg/kg) prior to simultaneous bilateral laparotomy. Shortly after the administration of lidocaine hydrochloride, the ewes developed muscle tremors and became recumbent, with a variety of neurologic signs including dullness, opisthotonos, odontoprisis, mydriasis, blindness, extensor rigidity, and convulsions. The ewes were given intravenous fluid therapy, and 90 minutes after the onset of signs, the ewes were standing, dull, and appetent. The laboratory session was rescheduled 2 weeks later, using the same ewes and a reduced dosage of lidocaine hydrochloride (10 mg/kg). There were no adverse effects and the simultaneous bilateral laparotomy procedure was completed without complications. The authors recommend the use of lidocaine hydrochloride at a dosage not exceeding 10 mg/kg for ewes requiring extensive local anesthesia. 相似文献
