Plasma disposition of sulphadimidine (SDM) and its metabolites was studied in laying hens after 100 mg SDM kg-1 doses were administered as a single intravenous dose, a single oral dose and multiple oral doses once daily for five consecutive days. SDM was extensively metabolised by acetylation and hydroxylation. In plasma, the metabolite observed with the highest concentration was N4-acetylsulphadimidine (N4-SDM) followed by hydroxymethylsulphadimidine (CH2OH) and 5-hydroxysulphadimidine. Following intravenous administration a biphasic elimination (as seen for a capacity limited reaction) pattern for SDM and its metabolites was observed. Multiple (5x) SDM dosing revealed plasma SDM concentrations ranging between 7 and 108 micrograms ml-1; within 96 hours of termination of the multiple SDM dosing, the plasma SDM concentration was below 0.01 micrograms ml-1. The renal clearances of N4-SDM and the hydroxy metabolites were approximately 10 times greater than that of SDM. The SDM mass balance (faecal/urinary recovery) showed a loss of 56 per cent after intravenous dosage and of 67 per cent after a single oral dosage; the hydroxy metabolites accounted for the highest percentage in faeces/urine. Thus additional metabolic pathways must exist in laying hens.  相似文献

The disposition of fenbendazole was studied in rabbits following either oral or intravenous administration. The major metabolites appearing in plasma were fenbendazole sulphoxide (oxfendazole) and fenbendazole sulphone. Calculation of the total urinary and faecal elimination of the drug and of its known metabolites showed that only 40 per cent of the dose was recovered after oral dosing; 29.7 per cent after an intravenous dose. The sulphoxide and sulphone were minor elimination products. The major excretory metabolite was p-hydroxyfenbendazole.  相似文献

The excretion of Se75 via the feces and urine was studied in 30 sheep. Se75-sodium selenite was injected subcutaneously, using three different doses ranging from a tracer dose to a therapeutic dose. By the intraruminal route the substance was given in a tracer dose and a therapeutic dose. Se75-selenomethionine was injected subcutaneously and intraruminally in a tracer dose. Se75-selenocystine was given intravenously in a dose higher than that regarded as a therapeutic dose.After intraruminal injection a higher percentage of the dose was excreted via the feces than via the urine. After the two highest subcutaneous doses the urinary excretion was significantly higher than the fecal excretion. After a high selenium dose the percentage eliminated via the urine was greater than after a low dose, whether the subcutaneous or the intraruminal route was used.The fecal and urinary excretion of Se75 was of approximately the same order after injection of Se75-selenomethionine and Se75-selenocystine as after injection of the tracer dose of Se75-sodium selenite.In 2 sheep, 1.4 per cent and 3.7 per cent, respectively, of a therapeutic dose were excreted via the bile in 48 hours.Less than 3 per cent of a subcutaneous dose was eliminated with the expired air in 24 hours.Exactly how much of a therapeutic dose is excreted within, for instance, 2 weeks is difficult to establish, as the treated animal’s selenium supply with the feed is not known. In the experiments reported here, however, approximately 64 per cent of a subcutaneous and 75 per cent of an intraruminal therapeutic dose were excreted over a two-week period.  相似文献

A comparison was made of the material costs and effectiveness of three methods of early season suppression by anthelmintic medication of Ostertagia species and two of Dictyocaulus viviparus in calves, each method suppressing faecal egg output for different lengths of time from the start of spring grazing. The anthelmintics used were: Morantel bolus administered five days before going to grazing; oxfendazole given three times at three, six and nine weeks after the start of grazing and ivermectin injected three, eight and 13 weeks after going to pasture. The effectiveness of each was estimated by comparison with worm numbers in untreated control calves. Oxfendazole, which was active for the shortest time (about 65 days) from the start of grazing (May 1), produced a 78.1 per cent reduction in Ostertagia species and an 84.4 per cent reduction in D viviparus. The morantel bolus was estimated to be active for 90 days and resulted in a 94.3 per cent reduction of Ostertagia species. The ivermectin treatment, which, because of the prolonged excretion of the chemical and different sensitivity of worm species, was estimated to suppress Ostertagia species for 105 days and D viviparus for 119 days, caused reductions of 98.7 per cent of the former and 97.4 per cent of the latter species. Material costs per calf were estimated at pounds 1.25 for oxfendazole, pounds 2.00 for ivermectin and pounds 10 for the morantel bolus.  相似文献

Changes in total thyroxine (T4), free T4 and total tri-iodothyronine (T3) were measured in 13 cats after the intravenous injection of varying doses of thyrotrophin stimulating hormone (TSH) (0–5 U/cat n = 6; 1 U/cat n = 8; 1 U/kg bodyweight, n = 7) or thyrotrophin releasing hormone (TRH) (100 ug/cat, n = 10). All three doses of TSH resulted in a significant (P < 0–05) rise in T4, free T4 and T3 levels, with the mean peak in hormone concentrations occurring six to eight hours after injection. The three doses of TSH all appeared to produce maximal stimulation of thyroid hormone secretion. The mean percentage increase in hormone concentrations at seven hours following the three doses of TSH ranged from 167 to 198 per cent for T4, 240 to 365 per cent for free T4, and 73 to 116 per cent for T3. Following administration of TRH there was also a significant (P < 0–05) rise in T4, and free T4. The mean peak in T4 and free T4 levels occurred at four hours, and mean increases in hormone levels at this time were 92 per cent for T4, and 198 per cent for free T4. The administration of TRH produced little change in T3 levels. TSH administration resulted in a significantly higher (P < 0–05) percentage peak increase in T4, free T4 and T3 levels at all three dosages than did TRH.  相似文献

The efficacy of halofuginone lactate in the prevention of cryptosporidiosis in suckling calves was evaluated in a multicentre, control versus placebo, randomised, double-blind clinical trial. Seventy-eight six- to 48-hour-old calves were treated daily with 120 microg/kg bodyweight of halofuginone lactate administered orally for seven consecutive days, while 80 calves received a placebo. Faecal samples were collected on the first day of dosing and four, seven, 14 and 21 days later, and Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts were counted and faecal indices for diarrhoea were determined after a clinical examination. An analysis of variance for repeated measurements showed a highly significant difference in favour of halofuginone lactate for both the oocyst counts (P=0.0002) and the faecal diarrhoea indices (P=0.0001) throughout the trial. The difference was greatest after seven days, when the mean oocyst count of the placebo group was 2.5 times and its mean faecal index was twice the mean of the halofuginone lactate group. One day after the end of the treatment the calves which received halofuginone lactate excreted 44 per cent fewer C parvum oocysts and 44 per cent fewer of them had diarrhoea. The reduction was even greater (65 per cent) when liquid diarrhoea was assessed, with 32.5 per cent of the calves in the placebo group having liquid diarrhoea compared with 11.5 per cent in the halofuginone lactate group. The treatment was well tolerated and easily administered.  相似文献

The efficacy and toxicity of orthovoltage radiation therapy and concurrent low doses of doxorubicin for the treatment of incompletely excised soft-tissue sarcomas in 39 dogs was investigated retrospectively. The 39 dogs had 40 soft-tissue sarcomas and received 51 Gy orthovoltage radiation in 17 daily 3 Gy fractions; they also received 10 mg/m(2) doxorubicin once a week administered intravenously one hour before the dose of radiation. The median follow-up time was 910 days. The tumours recurred locally in seven of the dogs, in five of them within the radiation field; the median time to their recurrence was 213 days (range 63 to 555 days). Six of the dogs developed a distant metastasis after a median time of 276 days (range eight to 826 days). The one-year and two- to four-year tumour control rates were 84 per cent and 81 per cent, respectively, and the one-, two- and three- to four-year survival rates were 85 per cent, 79 per cent and 72 per cent, respectively. Tumours with a mitotic rate of more than 9 per 10 high-power fields were significantly more likely to recur, and the dogs with such tumours survived for significantly shorter periods.  相似文献

The response of cats to dietary sodium selenite (Na(2) SeO(3)) and organically bound selenium was studied in two separate studies with four cats per treatment and three levels of selenium supplementation (targets 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 μg/g DM) for each Se source. Whole blood and plasma selenium concentrations and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity were determined at 7-time points across the 32-day study. Faeces were quantitatively collected during the last 8 days and urine was collected daily during both studies. The basal diet used had a low apparent faecal selenium absorption of 25.3 ± 3.0%. Daily faecal and urinary selenium excretion increased linearly with increasing selenium intake for both Se sources. Urinary selenium concentration of the cats fed the supplemented diets increased rapidly (～2 days) and remained constant throughout the remainder of the study. Apparent faecal selenium absorption was high for both selenium sources (73.2% and 80.0%). Plasma, and to a lesser extent, whole blood selenium concentrations increased in a dose-dependent manner with supplementation. Whole blood and plasma GPx activity were highly variable and showed a variable response to dietary selenium intake. Cats closely regulate selenium homeostasis through increasing urinary excretion whilst faecal absorption remains unaffected.  相似文献

Group A rotavirus excretion patterns in naturally infected pigs   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  
Cross-sectional and cohort studies were conducted in a piggery to investigate the excretion pattern of group A rotavirus in pigs. The cross-sectional survey revealed that 47 (9 per cent) of 521 pigs sampled were excreting rotavirus in the faeces. No rotavirus antigen was detected in the faeces of pigs either less than one week or over two months old. The prevalence of infection increased with age over the sucking period, and was greatest at five weeks old. Diarrhoea was observed in only eight (17 per cent) of the pigs excreting rotavirus. Sixteen piglets from four litters were selected and faecal samples collected daily from each animal from birth to two months old. All the piglets excreted group A rotavirus and the range of ages at which they first became infected was between 13 and 39 days. The average duration of excretion in individual piglets was 7.4 days. Ten of 13 sucking piglets which excreted rotavirus developed diarrhoea soon after it was first detected.  相似文献

Anthelmintic activity of a pour-on formulation of levamisole, applied during warm weather (16 degrees to 36 degrees C) at 10 mg/kg bodyweight, was evaluated in groups of naturally parasitised calves. This activity was compared to that obtained in similar groups of calves treated in the winter (-4 degrees to +7 degrees C). Controlled efficacy of the pour-on formulation was determined for each season by comparing mean worm burdens in treated calves sacrificed seven to nine days after treatment to non-treated controls. In these trials, burdens of Bunostomum phlebotomum, Cooperia species, Haemonchus placei, Nematodirus species, Oesophagostomum radiatum, Ostertagia ostertagi and Trichostrongylus axei in treated calves were reduced by 83.3 to 100 per cent in the summer and 89.2 to 100 per cent in the winter. Field investigations at nine locations across the USA compared changes in faecal egg counts for cattle treated and evaluated during warm summer months (27 degrees to 36 degrees C) to those treated during cold winter months (-18 degrees to +10 degrees C). Overall, faecal egg counts were reduced by 90.2 per cent in the summer trials and 94.0 per cent in the winter trials. The results of these trials indicate that there is no seasonal variation in the anthelmintic activity of this pour-on formulation of levamisole.  相似文献

The efficacy, safety and palatability of a new flavoured chewable anthelmintic tablet were investigated in dogs. The efficacy, based on worm counts, of a single recommended therapeutic dose (RTD) of 5 mg pyrantel + 20 mg oxantel + 5 mg praziquantel/kg bodyweight was assessed in experimental infections (EI) and natural infections (NI) with Trichuris vulpis, Echinococcus granulosus and Toxocara canis. For T vulpis, the efficacy of the treatment was 99.3 per cent in EI (comparing groups of six treated and six control dogs) and 100 per cent in NI (nine treated and nine control dogs). For E granulosus, the efficacy was more than 99.9 per cent in EI (11 treated and 11 control dogs). For T canis, the efficacy was 94.3 per cent in EI (10 treated and 10 control dogs) and 100 per cent in NI (12 treated and 13 control dogs). In a field study, Ancylostoma caninum (11 dogs) and T canis (11 dogs) faecal egg counts were reduced by more than 99 per cent, and in eight dogs with Dipylidium caninum proglotides in the faeces the efficacy was 100 per cent. The tablets were readily consumed by 56 of 64 (87.5 per cent) privately owned dogs. Safety was assessed in groups of six dogs treated either once with twice the RTD, once with six times the RTD, with twice the RTD on three consecutive days, or untreated. There were no significant differences in blood parameters between the groups, and no abnormal clinical findings. Two dogs treated with six times the RTD vomited, but no vomiting was observed when administration was repeated two days later.  相似文献

We investigated the plasma concentration and urinary excretion of vitamin C in cows supplemented with vitamin C. Five cows (mean BW = 597 kg) were allocated to a 5 x 5 Latin square design and supplemented with a vitamin C preparation coated with hydrogenated soybean oil at 0, 10, 20, 40, or 60 mg of vitamin C per kg of BW per day for 9 d. Plasma and urine samples were collected for measuring vitamin C concentration. Urinary excretion of vitamin C was expressed as the ratio of vitamin C to creatinine. Plasma vitamin C concentration and urinary vitamin C excretion increased quadratically as dietary vitamin C increased (P < 0.001); that is, the lowest dose affected neither plasma vitamin C concentration nor urinary vitamin C excretion but the plasma vitamin C concentration and urinary vitamin C excretion increased (P < 0.05) with increasing supplementation of vitamin C at greater doses. This suggests that plasma vitamin C concentration affects urinary excretion of vitamin C in cattle and that plasma vitamin C concentration exceeded the renal threshold for vitamin C in the cows receiving vitamin C at 20 mg/kg of BW per day. Furthermore, increased urinary excretion of vitamin C appears to limit plasma vitamin C concentration in response to vitamin C intake. The daily excretion of vitamin C was estimated by the reported value of daily creatinine excretion, indicating that the daily amount of vitamin C excreted into urine was more than half of supplied vitamin C. Therefore, a large part of supplied vitamin C probably escapes ruminal degradation and is absorbed but excreted into urine.  相似文献

A study was undertaken to evaluate and compare faecal excretion of moxidectin and ivermectin in horses after oral administration of commercially available preparations. Ten clinically healthy adult horses, weighing 390-446 kg body weight (b.w.), were allocated to two experimental groups. Group I was treated with an oral gel formulation of moxidectin at the manufacturer's recommended therapeutic dose of 0.4 mg/kg b.w. Group II was treated with an oral paste formulation of ivermectin at the recommended dose of 0.2 mg/kg b.w. Faecal samples were collected at different times between 1 and 75 days post-treatment. After faecal drug extraction and derivatization, samples were analysed by High Performance Liquid Chromatography using fluorescence detection and computerized kinetic analysis.For both drugs the maximum concentration level was reached at 2.5 days post administration. The ivermectin treatment groups' faecal concentrations remained above the detectable level for 40 days (0.6 +/- 0.3 ng/g), whereas the moxidectin treatment group remained above the detectable level for 75 days (4.3 +/- 2.8 ng/g). Ivermectin presented a faster elimination rate than moxidectin, reaching 90% of the total drug excreted in faeces at four days post-treatment, whereas moxidectin reached similar levels at eight days post-treatment. No significant differences were observed for the values of maximum faecal concentration (C(max)) and time of C(max)(T(max)) between both groups of horses, demonstrating similar patterns of drug transference from plasma to the gastrointestinal tract. The values of the area under the faecal concentration time curve were slightly higher in the moxidectin treatment group (7104 +/- 2277 ng.day/g) but were not significantly different from those obtained in the ivermectin treatment group (5642 +/- 1122 ng.day/g). The results demonstrate that although a 100% higher dose level of moxidectin was used, attaining higher plasma concentration levels and more prolonged excretion and gut secretion than ivermectin, the concentration in faeces only represented 44.3+/- 18.0% of the total parental drug administered compared to 74.3 +/- 20.2% for ivermectin. This suggests a higher level of metabolization for moxidectin in the horse.  相似文献

The results achieved in 18 dogs following the use of frozen bone cortical allografts for limb-sparing resection of non-metastatic canine appendicular osteosarcoma are presented. Three to five cisplatin doses (70 mg/m2) were administered, starting the day after surgery. The mean and median survival times were 478 and 266 days (range 80 to 2,611 days), respectively. The survival rate was 94 per cent at three months, 78 per cent at six months, 35 per cent at 12 months, 23 per cent at 18 months and 19 per cent at 24 months; the disease-free interval was 80 to 1,246 days (mean 365 days, median 266 days). Lung metastasis developed in 55 per cent of the dogs within one year. Complications were observed in 14/18 dogs (78 per cent), comprising local recurrence (28 per cent), allograft infection (39 per cent) and implant failure (11 per cent). Despite complications, limb sparing is a useful alternative to amputation in selected cases of appendicular osteosarcoma.  相似文献

Growing pigs were fed freshly milled ergot sclerotia (Claviceps purpurea Fr (Tul)) from North American wheat containing 0-31 per cent of total alkaloids of which 30 per cent was ergotoxine, 30 per cent ergosine, 20 per cent ergotamine and 20 per cent other ergot alkaloids. Pigs were induced to ingest a diet heavily contaminated with ergot (10 per cent w/w). The presence of ergot reduced feed intake and growth of the pigs, but there was no evidence of peripheral necrosis, of internal or external haemorrhage, or of changes in haemotological characteristics. Balance experiments in which the diet was contaminated with 4 per cent (w/w) of ergot showed that 90 per cent of the alkaloids were absorbed by the pigs, but none could be detected in tissues or urine. The ingestion of ergot did not affect the digestibility of the diet, but the urinary excretion of nitrogen was increased and the retention of nitrogen reduced. The presence of ricinoleic acid was shown to be a useful diagnostic feature of ergot contamination of diets, digesta and faeces; it was not found in body tissues.  相似文献

The absorption and urinary and faecal excretion of calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, potassium and chloride were studied in four colostomised laying hens during 24 hr periods. The urinary excretion of ammonia was also determined. Data for 10 laying and 5 non‐laying days were obtained. On laying days (a) net absorption of all minerals, expressed either as actual weights or as a percentage of intake was greater, (b) urinary excretion of phosphorus, potassium and ammonia was greater and of calcium, magnesium and chloride less and (c) retention of all minerals was greater, than on non‐laying days.

The urinary findings can be largely explained in terms of the requirements of the shell gland for calcium and bicarbonate ions and the need to excrete the phosphate liberated from the skeleton during egg shell formation.  相似文献

During the decade to 1999, the incidence of human infections with the zoonotic pathogen verocytotoxin-producing Escherichia coli O157 (VTEC O157) increased in England and Wales. This paper describes the results of a survey of 75 farms to determine the prevalence of faecal excretion of VTEC O157 by cattle, its primary reservoir host, in England and Wales. Faecal samples were collected from 4663 cattle between June and December 1999. The prevalence of excretion by individual cattle was 4.2 per cent (95 per cent confidence interval [CI] 2.0 to 6.4) and 10.3 per cent (95 per cent CI 5.8 to 14.8) among animals in infected herds. The within-herd prevalence on positive farms ranged from 1.1 to 51.4 per cent. At least one positive animal was identified on 29 (38.7 per cent; 95 per cent CI 28.1 to 50.4) of the farms, including dairy, suckler and fattening herds. The prevalence of excretion was least in the calves under two months of age, peaked in the calves aged between two and six months and declined thereafter. The phage types identified most widely were 4, 34 and 2, which were each found on six of the 29 positive farms.  相似文献

Objective To compare the efficacy of moxidectin to ivermectin, oxibendazole and morantel against some gastrointestinal nematodes in horses.
Design Faecal egg count reduction after treatment.
Procedure A farm was selected where the population of small strongyles in horses was known to be resistant to oxibendazole. Horses were allocated to treatment groups based on faecal egg counts. After treatment, faecal samples were taken up to 109 days after treatment and faecal egg counts estimated. Faecal cultures were used to estimate the contribution of small and large strongyles to the faecal egg counts at each sampling.
Results Moxidectin (0.4 mg/kg) suppressed faecal egg counts for 109 days after treatment in most horses compared to 40 days with ivermectin (0.2 mg/kg), 13 days with morantel (9.4 mg/kg) and less than 13 days with oxibendazole (10 mg/kg). Most of the faecal egg count was attributable to small strongyles based on faecal culture, although Strongylus vulgaris was present in some samples in low numbers. Oxibendazole resistance in small strongyles was confirmed and a less than expected efficacy of morantel was also seen.
Conclusion Moxidectin was highly effective in reducing faecal egg counts after treatment for at least 12 weeks and up to 16 weeks in most horses. These horses were infected with a population of small strongyles known to be resistant to oxibendazole and possibly morantel. The duration of the reduction in faecal egg counts after treatment with moxidectin (0.4 mg/kg) was at least twice that of ivermectin (0.2 mg/kg) and greater than four times that for morantel and oxibendazole.  相似文献

The persistent efficacy of four commercially available macrocyclic lactones (ML) in maintaining reduced faecal egg counts in cattle grazing naturally infested pastures was evaluated in 44 zebu animals aged 1–2 years in Zambia. The study started in February (rainy season) when the strongyle egg output was increasing. Four days before the start of the trial, all animals were treated with a double dose of oxfendazole. They were then divided into five groups which were again treated on day 0. Groups A, D, I and M received 0.2 mg kg−1 of abamectin, doramectin, ivermectin and moxidectin, respectively. Animals of group C received albendazole (7.5 mg kg−1). Faecal samples were collected twice a week for egg counts and larval differentiation. Faecal egg counts in the C group increased from day 21 onwards and plateaued from day 42 between 180 and 380 eggs per gram. The main genera found in cultures were Cooperia (90%) and Haemonchus (7%). Faecal egg excretion in groups M, A, D and I started on day 35, 42, 42 and 45, respectively. subsequently and until day 84, average counts in these four groups were always significantly lower than in group C. Compared with albendazole, all four ML gave over 95% reduction in cumulative faecal egg counts for 42 days after treatment. The percentage efficacy was still over 84% by day 84 when an average cumulative egg count of 11 320 eggs per gram faeces was calculated in group C. In addition, there was no significant difference in efficacy between the four ML groups at any of the sampling dates. During the trial no significant difference in weight gain between any of the groups was observed.  相似文献

The tolerance of cephalexin in 10 cats was studied after oral administration of coated tablets (Cefaseptin; Chassot and Cie AG). Over a period of 21 days, the drug was administered twice daily at doses of 25, 30, 50 and 75 mg/kg body-weight. While the first three dose rates were well tolerated clinically, the highest dose was not. After seven days of treatment, signs of intolerance were salivation, vomiting and diarrhoea. Biochemical and haematological parameters (determined in blood, plasma and urine) were not altered. Plasma and skin concentrations of cephalexin were measured after oral treatment of cats with 25 and 50 mg cephalexin/kg body-weight. After treatment with 25 mg/kg body-weight, a mean elimination plasma half-life of 1–7 hours was calculated. The cephalexin concentration measured in the skin after two hours ranged from 8 to 22 per cent of the plasma level, so it is questionable if sufficiently high skin concentrations for efficacy are achieved with doses of 25 mg/kg body weight.  相似文献
