Probenecid effect on cefuroxime pharmacokinetics in calves     

S. SOBACK  G. ZIV  E.-I. KOKUE 《Journal of veterinary pharmacology and therapeutics》1989,12(1):87-93

Cefuroxime pharmacokinetics were studied in unweaned calves. The antibiotic was administered at 10 mg/kg to six calves i.v., to 12 calves i.m. and to ten of the previous 12 calves i.m. at 10 mg/kg together with probenecid at 40 mg/kg. Intramuscular doses of cefuroxime alone at 20 mg/kg were given to seven calves; to five of these calves cefuroxime was also given together with probenecid at 40 mg/kg and at 80 mg/kg. The serum concentration-time data were analyzed using statistical moment theory (SMT). The elimination half-life (t1/2) was 69.2 min (harmonic mean) after i.v. and 64.8 min and 64.9 min following i.m. administration of the lower and higher dose, respectively. Co-administration of probenecid did not affect the t1/2. The mean residence time (MRT) was 80.9 +/- 23.5 min (mean +/- SD) after i.v. and 117.8 +/- 9.3 min and 117.7 +/- 5.4 min after i.m. administration of cefuroxime at 10 and 20 mg/kg, respectively. The MRTi.m. following administration of cefuroxime at 10 mg/kg together with probenecid at 40 mg/kg was 140.0 +/- 8.8 min. The MRTi.m. values were 132.8 +/- 2.3 min and 150.8 +/- 5.1 min after cefuroxime was given at 20 mg/kg together with probenecid at 40 mg/kg or 80 mg/kg, respectively. The total body clearance (ClT) was 3.56 +/- 1.11 ml/min/kg and the volume of distribution at steady state (Vd(ss] 0.270 +/- 0.051 l/kg. The MIC90 values of cefuroxime were 16 micrograms/ml for E. coli and Salmonella isolates, 0.5 microgram/ml for Pasteurella multocida and 2.0 micrograms/ml for P. haemolytica.  相似文献   

Testing the effectiveness of foot-and-mouth disease vaccines: the relationship between test infection results and corresponding neutralization titers of vaccinated cattle     

H J Bengelsdorff 《Berliner und Münchener tier?rztliche Wochenschrift》1989,102(6):193-198

In the course of vaccine controls, the potency of 25 foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) vaccines was tested quantitatively in parallel in cattle using the intradermal infection and the determination of the SN titres. More than 95% of the vaccinated cattle with SN titres of greater than 1:20 were protected from generalized FMD, regardless of the virus type tested. 61.5% of the vaccinated cattle with SN titres less than or equal to 1:20 were not protected and developed generalized FMD. Comparison of the PD50 values calculated from the results of the intradermal infection and the corresponding SN titres (minimum protection titre greater than 1:20) showed that the results were in complete agreement in 56% of the tested vaccines. In a further 32% of vaccines, the PD50 calculated from the SN titre was slightly below that for the intradermal infection, in the remaining 12% it was somewhat above. The possibility of using the minimum titre determination for testing a vaccine and the significance of this titre as an expression of protection by vaccination are discussed.  相似文献   

Oesophagogastric parakeratosis in the growing pig: effects of the physical form of barley-based diets and added fibre   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Z V Potkins  T L Lawrence  J R Thomlinson 《Research in veterinary science》1989,47(1):60-67

In four experiments a total of 288 individually fed pigs were given barley-based diets for about 100 days from about 20 kg liveweight. Fine grinding of barley increased the number and severity of oesophagogastric lesions. Pelleting a diet based on coarsely ground barley had a similar effect. Coarser grinding of the barley and substituting small proportions of oat husk, but not of bran, gave lower incidences and severities of lesions. The performance responses of the pigs differed and give a framework for deciding on the balance to be struck between optimal performance and the risk of lesion development.  相似文献

硝酸还原酶与氮素利用的关系及其在作物遗传育种中的应用(综述)     

孙宝启  李玉京 《中国农业大学学报》1993,(3):29-34

本文综述了硝酸还原酶与氮素利用的关系及其遗传特性和在作物育种中应用的某些最新进展。氮吸收、利用等性状的生理和遗传特性极其复杂,受环境影响很大,对其进行遗传改良需考虑多种指标。对硝酸还原酶活性(NRA)与品质性状和产量的关系的争论很多,有些研究表明 NRA 可作为品质、产量性状的选择指标,有些则相反。逆境条件下 NRA 的变化非常敏感,NRA 可能与抗逆性有关。  相似文献   

Protein and energy relationships in dairy cattle. 1. Dry cows     

E Teller  J M Godeau 《Archives of Animal Nutrition》1989,39(6):535-542

Nitrogen metabolism in ruminants is a dynamic process depending on level of intake and composition of dietary dry matter and on the physiological state of the animals. These parameters were analysed in a regression model for the requirements of nitrogen absorbed in the small intestine in relation to nitrogen balance of dry cows fed at maintenance level. The amount of total dietary nitrogen and the apparent nitrogen digestibility vary notably according to energy intake and energy concentration in dietary dry matter. On the contrary, the amount of nitrogen absorbed in the small intestine is only slightly affected by these parameters. The discrepancy between these statements lies mainly in differences in intestinal nitrogen absorption and in altered fermentation processes of the large intestine in response to changes in energy supply and ME concentration in dietary dry matter.  相似文献   

Insertion of a transtympanic ventilation tube for the treatment of otitis media with effusion     

C. L. Cox  R. W. T. Slack  G. J. Cox† 《The Journal of small animal practice》1989,30(9):517-519

In this paper, a case of otitis media with effusion (‘glue ear’) is described in a Cavalier King Charles spaniel. Its presentation, diagnosis and surgical management by the insertion of a trans-tympanic ventilation tube (grommet) is discussed.  相似文献
