Haematological estimations and serum biochemical analyses were made on 100 samples collected from clinically healthy Hijin racing camels (Camelus dromedarius) in Kuwait. The red blood cell counts, packed cell volume, haemoglobin concentration, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular haemoglobin, mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration and total white blood cell counts were estimated. In the serum biochemical analyses, sodium, potassium, iron, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, total bilirubin, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, glucose, total protein and cholesterol concentrations were measured, as were the alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, -glutamyltransferase, creatine kinase and alkaline phosphatase activities. The results are discussed in relation to other findings reported in camels.  相似文献

Seven calves were fed a mixture of bog plants containing 15 g (wet matter)Narthecium ossifragum per kg live weight for two consecutive days. Their serum creatinine, urea and magnesium concentrations increased, whereas the serum calcium concentration decreased. Histopathological examination of the kidneys of the 5 calves that were killed revealed tubular epithelial cell degeneration and necrosis. There were signs of liver dysfunction in all the calves including increased aspartate aminotransferase (ASAT), glutamate dehydrogenase (GLDH) and -glutamyltransferase activities.All the calves refused to ingestN. ossifragum after 2 days feeding, and their appetite for hay and concentrate was also reduced. It can be concluded thatN. ossifragum is nephrotoxic and hepatotoxic to calves.Abbreviations ALP alkaline phosphatase - ASAT aspartate aminotransferase - -HBA -hydroxybutyric acid - CK creatine kinase - d.m. dry matter - -GT -glutamyltransferase - GFR glomerular filtration rate - GLDH glutamate dehydrogenase - MCV mean cell volume - RBC red blood cells - SEM standard error of the mean - WBC white blood cells - w.m. wet matter  相似文献

The kinetics of the production of interferon gamma (IFN-) in whole blood culture and its comparison with anti-listeriolysin O (ALLO) detection by ELISA were studied during oral infection of calves with Listeria monocytogenes. Culture filtrate antigen (CFA), listeriolysin O (LLO), and sonicated antigen (SA) were used to prime the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and the plasma from orally infected calves. IFN- and ALLO appeared as early as day 7 of an oral infection. IFN- was detected earlier with LLO than with SA. The Max50 interleukin (IL-2) activity and IFN- estimated in the culture supernatant from PBMCs primed in vitro with different antigens of L. monocytogenes revealed high induction of IL-2 and IFN- by CFA, LLO and live antigen. IFN- assay and ALLO detection were used for testing cases of repeat breeding in dairy cattle. It appeared that detection of IFN- employing LLO can be used to diagnose listerial infections.  相似文献

Seven lambs were fed a mixture of bog plants containing 15 g (wet matter)Narthecium ossifragum per kg live weight for 10 consecutive days. Their serum creatinine concentration increased from day 1 to 4 but then fell to normal by day 6 after feeding started. In the same animals, the serum magnesium concentration was increased on days 3, 4 and 5. Histopathological examination of the kidneys of 2 lambs killed after being fed 25 gN. ossifragum per kg live weight for one day revealed tubular epithelial cell degeneration and necrosis. There were no signs of disease or distress in the experimental animals and their appetite remained normal throughout the experimental period. It was concluded thatN. ossifragum is probably nephrotoxic to lambs.Abbreviations ALP alkaline phosphatase - ASAT aspartate aminotransferase - -HBA -hydroxybutyric acid - CK creatine kinase - d.m. dry matter - -GT -glutamyltransferase - GLDH glutamate dehydrogenase - MCV mean cell volume - RBC red blood cells - SEM standard error of the mean - WBC white blood cells - w.m. wet matter  相似文献

Persson Waller, K., Colditz, I.G., Flapper, P. and Seow, H.-F., 1997. Leukocyte and cytokine accumulation in the ovine teat and udder during endotoxin-induced inflammation. Veterinary Research Communications, 21 (2), 101-115The accumulation of leukocytes, ovine serum albumin and the cytokines interleukin-1 (IL-1), tumour necrosis factor- (TNF-), interleukin-8 (IL-8), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and interferon- (IFN-) was studied during endotoxin-induced inflammation in lactating and dry ovine udders, and in the teat cisterns of dry ewes after surgical closure of the passage between the teat and udder cisterns. Samples were taken before infusion and hourly up to 10 h after infusion of 0.1, 1 or 10 µg of endotoxin, or infusion of pyrogen-free saline (PFS) as a control. Rectal temperatures were measured.A significant dose- and time-dependent accumulation of leukocytes, mainly neutrophils, was observed in the lactating udders and in the teat cisterns. In the dry udders, the leukocyte accumulation was significant for time but not for dose. Peak numbers of cells were reached at 3-4 h in the dry udders and in the teat cisterns, but not until 10 h after infusion in the lactating udders. The changes in the ovine serum albumin concentrations mostly paralleled changes in leukocyte numbers.A role was indicated for TNF-, IL-8 and GM-CSF, but not for IL-1 and IFN-, during endotoxin-induced inflammation in the ovine udder. Release of TNF-, IL-8 and GM-CSF was most prominent in lactating udders, peaking at 2 or 3 h after infusion, but was also detected in dry udders and teat cisterns. Detectable levels of IL-1 and IFN- were occasionally found in all three groups.  相似文献

This paper reports the milk protein polymorphism, the allele frequencies of variants and the possible linkages among various combinations of milk protein phenotypes in the Kangayam cattle of south India. Milk samples from 156 Kangayam cows were typed by starch gel and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis for caseins and whey proteins, respectively. All the four milk protein components studied, s1-casein, -casein, -lactoglobulin and -lactalbumin, exhibited polymorphism with high allele frequencies of 0.9231±0.0151 for s1-casein C, 0.9263±0.0148 for -casein A, 0.9135±0.0159 for -lactoglobulin B and a relatively high frequency of 0.6218±0.0275 for -lactalbumin A. The mean heterozygosity estimated over all the four milk protein loci was 0.2420. Genetic equilibrium was observed among all the loci studied, except -lactalbumin. Linkage analysis confirmed the non-independence between s1- and -caseins and between caseins and -lactalbumin phenotypes.  相似文献

Pathogenic mechanisms of caprine arthritis-encephalitis virus   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
Goats infected with caprine arthritis-encephalitis virus (CAEV) show chronic arthritis and cachexia, which are progressive in nature. The immunopathogenic mechanisms responsible for these progressive clinical symptoms have not been fully elucidated. Various haematological and immunological parameters were evaluated in experimentally-infected goats showing typical signs of CAEV-induced disease. Infected goats showed recurrent lymphocytosis that may be due to constant presentation of antigen by infected cells of a monocyte/macrophage lineage. The serum alkaline phosphatase and -glutamyl transferase concentrations were elevated in infected goats, a characteristic of hepatic and bone disorders. All other serum chemistry parameters were similar between infected and control goats. Importantly, the serum tumour necrosis factor- (TNF-) levels were higher in infected goats. The cachexia seen in infected goats may be at least partly due to altered metabolism as a result of prolonged elevation of serum TNF- levels. Depressed natural killer cell activity was observed in infected goats and may contribute towards the establishment of a persistent infection with CAEV.Abbreviations AIDS acquired immunodeficiency syndrome - CAEV caprine arthritis-encephalitis virus - GGT -glutamyl transferase - HBSS Hanks' balanced salt solution - HIV human immunodeficiency virus - NK natural killer - PBMC peripheral blood mononuclear cells - PCR polymerase chain reaction - SAP serum alkaline phosphatase - TNF tumour necrosis factor  相似文献

The oxidative metabolism of aldicarb (ALD), a carbamate pesticide, and fenbendazole (FBZ), an anthelmintic, was studied using cultured hepatocytes obtained from 4 goats and a bullock and incubated with ALD (50 mol/L) and FBZ (10 mol/L). The parent compounds and the metabolites were measured by HPLC. Both compounds are metabolized at the sulphur atom via two sequential oxidations, first to the sulphoxide (aldicarb sulphoxide and oxfendazole, respectively) and then to the sulphone. Oxfendazole and fenbendazole sulphone from FBZ, and aldicarb sulphoxide from ALD were found in both species. Aldicarb sulphone was not produced by the hepatocyte preparations from the bullock. The good correlation obtained comparing the in vitro results of FBZ metabolism with published in vivo dat obtained on FBZ kinetics in the same species confirmed the usefulness of in vitro models for predictive analysis of in vivo xenobiotic biotransformations.Abbreviations ALD aldicarb - ALDSON aldicarb sulphone - ALDSOX aldicarb sulphoxide - BSA bovine serum albumin - ID internal diameter - EGTA ethylene glycol bis(-aminoethyl ether) N,N,N,N-tetraacetic acid - FBZ fenbendazole - FBZSON fenbendazole sulphone - HBSS Hanks' balanced saline solution - HPLC high-pressure liquid chromatography - LDH lactate dehydrogenase - MFO mixed function oxidase - NCS newborn calf serum - OXF oxfendazole - WME Williams' Medium E  相似文献

Desafferentation of the gastrocnemius muscle in calves with spastic paralysis suggests that exaggerated muscular tone in affected animals is due to hypersensitivity of the myotatic reflex. In order to gain more information on the pathophysiology of the disease, -efferent nerve block with dilute procaine was performed on calves with spastic paralysis, thus lowering the sensitivity of the muscle spindle.Results of this study confirm the earlier evidence of muscle spindle hypersensitivity through relative -efferent overstimulation.
Kurzfassung Die Blockierung der afferenten Reizleitung desM. gastrocremicus bei Kälbern mit spastischer Paralyse zeigt, dass ein überhöhter Muskeltonus bei erkrankten Kälbern auf Überempfindlichkeit des myotatischen Reflexes beruht. Um mehr Information über die Pathophysiologie der Erkrankung zu erhalten, wurde mit verdünntem Procain ein -efferenter Nervenblock bei Kälbern mit spastischer Paralyse induziert, um die Empfindlichkeit der Muskelspindeln zu vermindern.Die Ergebnisse dieser Untersuchungen bestätigen frühere Studien wonach die Muskelspindelüberempfindlichkeit durch relative -ableitende Überstimulierung erfolgt.
Resume Les expériences visant à supprimer les effets des fibres efferentes gamma du muscle gastrocnemien de jeunes bovins atteints de contracture des jumeaux, suggèrent que le tonus musculaire exagéré des animaux malades est dû à une hypersensibilité du réflexe myotatique. Dans le but de mieux explorer la physiopathologie de cette maladie, le blocage des fibres efferentes gamma à l'aide d'une solution de procaïne a été réalisé chez des veaux malades pour diminuer la sensibilité de la fibre musculaire.Les résultats de ce travail confirment l'existence d'une hypersensibilité primitive de celle-ci en relation avec une hyperstimulation des fibres efferentes gamma.
Riassunto La desafferentazione del muscolo gastrocnemico praticata in vitelli con paralisi spastica indica che l'eccessivo tono muscolare osservato negli animali colpiti è dovuto ad ipersensibilità del riflesso miotattico. Allo scopo di raccogliere maggiori dati sulla fisiopatologia della malattia, si è proceduto al blocco dei nervi -efferenti con procaina diluita in vitelli con paralisi spastica in modo da abbassare la sensibilità del fuso muscolare.I risultati della studio confermano quanto provato in precedenza, e cioè che l'ipersensibilità del fuso muscolare deriva dalla iperstimolazione dei relativi nervi -efferenti.

The effect of endotoxin induced fever on the steady state concentration of sulphadimethoxine in pigs has been studied.Sulphadimethoxine 20 mg/kg b.wt. was injected at 9 a.m. in an ear vein each day for eleven days. From day 6 until the end of the experiment, endotoxin fromEscherichia coli 1.5 g/kg b.wt. was injected at 9 a.m. and at 3 p.m. The plasma concentration versus time curves were calculated by means of a computer program, assuming a two-compartment model. During the endotoxin injections the plasma concentrations were simulated and compared with those calculated.It was not possible to show any clinically significant changes in pharmacokinetics of sulphadimethoxine after the start of endotoxin injections.  相似文献

Administration of ground-up tick tissue stabilate (0.75 tick equivalent) by the subcutaneous route to crossbred calves aged 1 week to 1 month led to the development of acute theileriosis. Haematological studies revealed significant progressive decreases in haemoglobin concentration, packed cell volume and red blood cell count, whereas the total leukocyte count showed an initial non-significant leukocytosis followed by a significant leukopenia. Analysis of serum revealed significant increases in levels of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, creatinine kinase and -glutamyltransferase, and in the concentrations of uric acid, blood urea nitrogen and bilirubin. The concentrations of total protein, albumin, glucose, cholesterol and calcium showed non-significant decreases, while phosphorus decreased significantly during the terminal stages of the disease.  相似文献

With electromyography and strain gauges the uterine motility of the sow during the oestrous cycle and early pregnancy was studied. Special attention was paid to characterization of myometrial activity at the time of intrauterine migration of blastocysts.From recordings of 4 animals (3 became pregnant) 3 types of electrical spiking activity (each could be correlated with an elevation of the strain gauge tension) were discerned. Two of them appeared regularly and were suitable for analysis: High Voltage Slow Acticity (with relative high amplitude and low frequency of spikes) and Low Voltage Fast Activity (with relative low aplitude and high frequency of spikes).The sexual status markedly influenced myometrial activity: during prooestrus and oestrus only one type of electrical activity was present whereas the myoelectrical complex (an episode of this activity and the subsequent interval of inactivity) was shorter than 10 min. During dioestrus the myoelectrical complex was longer than 10 min and High Voltage Slow Activity (solely on the cervix and bifurcation) and Low Voltage Fast Activity occurred simultaneously in episodes which mainly appeared to originate on the bifurcation.The characteristics of uterine activity during pregnancy were similar to those of a cyclic sow until day 12. It was only on day 12 that gestation appeared from an increased frequency of myoelectrical complexes.It is concluded that Low Voltage Fast Activity as it was found on the uterine horn at days 8–9 might be involved in the process of intra-uterine migration of blastocysts. In cyclic and in pregnant animals the patterns of Low Voltage Fast Activity were similar. Therefore, the occurrence of Low Voltage Fast Activity is independent of the actual presence of blastocysts. It seems to be exhibited in dependence on the ovarian hormones.  相似文献

A review of the literature on intestinal atresia of domestic animal species and humans was done. The 5 types of intestinal occlusions described in human infants are atresia type 1, atresia type 2, atresia type 3, stenosis, and the apple peel or Christmas tree deformity. The intestinal defects described in domestic animal species such as the bovine, equine and porcine are similar to those of human infants. The T-formation, an intestinal defect of the bovine resembling atresia type 3, and rectal stricture, an acquired intestinal defect of the porcine resembling stenosis, were described recently. Intestinal atresia is similar in several species and these similarities raise the questions as to whether the pathogenic mechanism and possibly etiologies of intestinal atresia are similar in these species.  相似文献

The pharmacokinetics of enrofloxacin and its active metabolite ciprofloxacin were investigated in goats after a single intramuscular administration of enrofloxacin at 2.5 mg/kg body weight. The plasma concentrations of enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin were determined simultaneously by a HPLC method. The peak concentrations (C max) of enrofloxacin (1.13 g/ml) and ciprofloxacin (0.24 g/ml) were observed at 0.8 and 1.2 h, respectively. The elimination half-life (t 1/2), volume of distribution (V d(area)), total body clearance (ClB) and mean residence time (MRT) of enrofloxacin were 0.74 h, 1.42 L/kg, 1329 ml/h per kg and 1.54 h, respectively. The t 1/2, area under the plasma concentration–time curve (AUC) and the MRT of ciprofloxacin were 1.38 h, 0.74 g h/ml and 2.73 h, respectively. The metabolic conversion of enrofloxacin to ciprofloxacin was appreciable (36%) and the sum of the plasma concentrations of enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin was maintained at or above 0.1 g/ml for up to 4 h. Enrofloxacin appears to be useful for the treatment of goat diseases associated with pathogens sensitive to this drug.  相似文献

The pharmacokinetics of fenbendazole and oxfendazole in cattle are described. The pharmacokinetics of oxfendazole were not significantly different when administered orally and by intra-ruminal injection. At a dose rate of 4.5 mg/kg, administered orally, fenbendazole gave rise to mean peak concentrations in plasma of fenbendazole and oxfendazole of 0.11 and 0.13 g/ml respectively. Oral administration of oxfendazole, at 4.5 mg/kg body weight, gave rise to plasma peak concentrations of fenbendazole and oxfendazole of 0.10 and 0.20 g/ml respectively. Following intra-ruminal administration of oxfendazole, the peak concentrations were 0.11 and 0.18 g/ml respectively.  相似文献

The objective of the experiment was to compare the reproductive post-partum performance of beef cows synchronized for oestrus using prostaglandin F2 (PGF2) alone or with a gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH)-based drug. Fifty-five post-partum lactating Tuli cows were randomly allocated to three groups. Two groups were synchronized using either two injections of PGF2 (500 g Prosolvin per injection) given 11 days apart (group 1), or GnRH (12.5 g Receptal per injection) followed 6 days later by an injection of 500 g PGF2 (group 2). The cows were bred by artificial insemination 12 h after they were observed in oestrus. Group 3 was synchronized as for group 2, but a second injection of GnRH was given 54 h after the PGF2 injection, at which time the cows were bred by artificial insemination (AI) without detection of oestrus. Blood samples were taken from the cows in group 3 and analysed for progesterone concentration to establish which cows were cycling and in oestrus before and at the time of breeding. Detection of oestrus and breeding by AI was done over 60 days. There were no significant differences (p>0.05) among the three groups in the first service and total conception rates. The percentage of cows in oestrus within 10 days of the synchronization treatment was not significantly different (p>0.05) between groups 1 and 2. The progesterone concentrations in the cows in group 3 showed that only those that were cycling at the start of the experiment responded to the synchronization treatment and conceived after fixed-time breeding. These results suggest that combinations of PGF2 and GnRH may be of value in synchronizing oestrus and controlling breeding in Tuli cows. However, the benefit might be greater if only cows that are known to be cycling are bred in this way.  相似文献

The purpose of the present investigation was to test the hypothesis that drug-induced changes in rumen contractions influence feed intake in dwarf goats. Intravenous (i.v.) administration of clonidine (1 g kg-1 min-1 for 10 min), xylazine (1 g kg-1 min-1 for 10 min), and PGF-2 (10 g kg-1 min-1 for 15 min) caused bradycardia and inhibition of rumen contractions. However, no appetite-stimulating effect of these drugs was observed. Other clinical changes induced by the 2-adrenergic agonists included slight sedation and a decrease in body temperature; all clinical effects of clonidine and xylazine were partly antagonized by tolazoline pretreatment (10 g kg-1 min-1 for 30 min). These results suggest that the CNS control of feeding differs in ruminants and monogastric species.In dwarf goats fasted for 2 h, i.v. administration of oxytocin (0.01 IU kg-1 min-1 for 15 min), vasopressin (0.01 IU kg-1 min-1 for 15 min), octapressin (0.003 IU kg-1 min-1 for 15 min) or PGE (0.8 g kg-1 min-1 for 15 min) did not change feeding behaviour during the two observation periods (0–30 min and 180–210 min after drug infusion, respectively). In previous studies, similar doses of these drugs induced changes in heart rate and inhibition of rumen contraction in goats. These findings demonstrate that drug-induced changes in forestomach contractions do not simply cause changes in feeding behaviour. The i.v. infusion of the PGF2 analogues etiproston (10 g kg-1 min-1 for 15 min), luprostiol (30 g kg-1 min-1 for 15 min), cloprostenol (1 g kg-1 min-1 for 15 min) and tiaprost (1 g kg-1 min-1 for 15 min) induced hypophagic effects and stimulated intestinal propulsion.  相似文献

During the past decade it has been discovered that vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is converted into 25-hydroxycholecalciferol in the liver and that this compound in converted in the kidney into 1, 25-dihydroxycholecalciferol. These metabolites and particularly 1, 25-dihydroxycholecalciferol, rather than vitamin D itself, have powerful effects on calcium metabolism, stimulating the absorption of calcium from the gastrointestinal tract and the resorption of calcium from bone. A synthetic analogue of these metabolites, 1-hydroxycholecalciferol, is rapidly converted in the liver into 1, 25-dihycroxycholecalciferol. Thus the two metabolites and the synthetic analogue may be valuable for the prevention on treatment of milk fever.The three compounds, when administered in doses ranging from 0.5 to 32g/kg bodyweight increase the concentrations of calcium and phosphorus in the blood plasma of cattle more quickly than much larger doses of vitamin D3. Their principal effect is to stimulate the absorption of calcium from the gastrointestinal tract. At the same time they decrease the plasma concentration of magnesium slightly. Trials of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol and 1-hydroxycholecalciferol in the prevention of milk fever have shown promising results.
Kurzfassung Im vergangenen Jahrzehnt hat man festgestellt, dass das Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) in der Leber in 25-Hydroxycholecalciferol umgewandelt wird und die Nieren diese Verbindung wiederum in 1, 25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol umbilden. Mehr noch als Vitamin D selbst zeigen diese Metaboliten und hier insbesondere das 1, 25-Dihydroxychlecalciferol umfangreiche Auswirkungen auf den Kalziummetabolismus, indem sie die Kalziumabsorption aus dem Magen-Darmtrakt und die Kalziumresorption der Knochen anregen. Ein synthetischer Analogstoff zu diesen Metaboliten, das 1- Hydroxycholecalciferol, wird in der Leber rasch in 1, 25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol umgewandelt. Die beiden Metaboliten und der synthetische Analogwirkstoff könnten daher für die Milchfieberprophylaxe bzw-therapie von Nutzen sein.Werden die drei Verbindungen in Dosen von 0,5 bis 32g/kg Körpergewicht verabreicht, so erhöht sich die Kalzium-und Phosphorkonzentration im Blutplasma der Kühe schneller als bei bedeutend höheren Dosen von Vitamin D3. Ihre Hauptwirkung liegt in der Anregung der Kalzium-absorption aus dem Magen-Darmtrakt. Gleichzeitig bauen sie jedoch auch in geringfügigem masse die Magnesiumkonzentration im Plasma ab. Versuche mit 25-Hydroxycholecalciferol und 1-Hydroxycholecalciferol haben bei der Milchfieberprophylaxe vielversprechende Ergebnisse gezeigt.
Resume Au cours de la dernière décennie, on a découvert que la vitamine D3 (cholécalciférol) se transformait en 25-hydroxycholécalciférol dans le foie et que ce composé se transformait en 1, 25-dihydroxy-cholécalciférol dans le rein. Ces métabolites, et en particulier le 1, 25-dihydroxycholécalciférol, ont, plus que la vitamine D elle-même, des effets puissants sur le métabolisme du calcium: ils stimulent l'absorption du calcium de l'appareil gastrointestinal et la résorption du calcium des os. Une substance homologue synthétique de cés metabolites, le 1-hydroxycholécalciférol, se transforme rapidement en 1, 25-dihydroxycholécalciférol dans le foie. Les deux métabolites et la substance homologue synthétique peuvent donc s'avérer précieux dans la prévention ou le traitement de la fièvre laiteuse.Administrés en doses allant de 0,5 à 32g/kg de poids corporel, ces trois composés augmentent les concentrations de calcium et de phosphore dans le plasma sanguin du bétail plus rapidement que des doses beaucoup plus fortes de vitamine D3. Ils ont pour principal effet de stimuler l'absorption du calcium de l'appareil gastro-intestinal. Simultanément, ils réduisent légèrement la concentration de magnésium dans le plasma. Les essais d'utilisation du 25-hydroxycholécalciférol et du 1-hydroxycholécalciférol pour la prévention de la fièvre laiteuse ont donné des résultats prometteurs.
Riassunto Nel corso dell'ultimo decennio si è scoperto che la vitamina D3 (colecalciferolo) viene trasformata nel fegato in 25-idrossicolecalciferolo, il quale, a sua volta, si trasforma nel rene in 1, 25-diidrossicolecalciferolo. Detti metaboliti, ed in specie l'1, 25-diidrossicolecalciferolo., più che la stessa vitamina D, hanno potenti effetti sul metabolismo del calcio, poichè ne stimolano l'assorbimento da parte dell' apparato digerente e l'anabolizzazione da parte delle ossa. Un composto sintetico analogo di questi metobiliti, l'1, idrossicolecalciferolo, viene rapidamente trasformato nel fegato in 1, 25-diidrossicolecalciferolo. Perciò i due metaboliti e il composto sintetico analogo possono essere utili per la profilassi e la cura della febbre da latte.I tre composti, se somministrati in dosi da 0.5 a 32g/kg peso corporeo, aumentano la concentrazione del calcio e del fosforo nel plasma sanguigno del bestiame più rapidamente di dosi molto maggiori di vitamina D3. Il loro effetto principale è quello di stimolare l'assorbimento del calcio da parte dell'apparato digerente. Contemporaneamente, essi riducono leggermente la concentrazione di magnesio nel plasma. Esperimenti con il 25-idrossicolecalciferolo nella profilassi della febbre da latte hanno dato risultati promettenti.

In human medicine it has been shown that the bromocresol green (BCG) dye-binding method for the determination of serum albumin is not entirely specific, the dye reacting also with certain human serum globulins. This causes over-estimation of albumin when reaction times are prolonged beyond 30 seconds.In the present study, serum albumin values obtained from three animal species by the immediate, i.e. less than 30 seconds, BCG reaction were compared with those by the 10-minute BCG reaction. Albumin-depleted sera were prepared using an affinity chromatography technique and their reactions and those of purified gamma globulin preparations with the dye were studied.In cattle, sheep and horses, serum albumin values obtained by the 10-minute reaction were higher than those obtained by the immediate BCG reaction, the differences being statistically significant. Purified gamma globulin did not react with the BCG dye after 10 minutes, but other globulins did. There were differences between the species in the magnitude of the reaction of their globulins with BCG dye.  相似文献

Growth rates of muscle relative to empty body weight were computed for the Peppin Merino, a breed of sheep considered unimproved for meat production. Rates of muscle increase in the Merino sheep were comparable to growth coefficients reported for the Romney and Southdown breeds which were tabulated separately by sex. Pooled data for the Lincoln, Hampshire, Southdown, Suffolk and Welsh breeds were analyzed relative to empty body weight.No significant difference in muscle growth rates were found in direct comparisons based on starved body weights for the Romney and Southdown breeds (Fourie et al., 1970). From the standpoint of conformation these breeds might be expected to differ in muscle growth rate as the Romney is considered a leggy sheep and the Southdown a blocky animal. Growth coefficients for muscle in the Romney, Southdown and several other breeds were very similar to the Peppin Merino.  相似文献
