Causes of death in sheep exported live by sea     

RB RICHARDS  RT NORRIS  RH DUNLOP  NC McQUADE 《Australian veterinary journal》1989,66(2):33-38

Post-mortem examinations were conducted on 950 dead and terminally ill sheep during assembly for export and during transport by sea from Fremantle, Western Australia to various Middle East ports. Causes of death were grouped into 5 major categories; inanition (deaths associated with reduced feed intake, including hypocalcaemia and hypomagnesaemia), salmonellosis (enteric and septicaemic), trauma, diseases associated with excessive feed intake (lactic acidosis and enterotoxaemia) and miscellaneous diseases (mostly of farm origin). During assembly the causes of death were salmonellosis 53.4%, miscellaneous diseases 23.8%, trauma 12.6%, inanition 10.2%, acidosis 3.9%, enterotoxaemia 3.4% and no diagnosis was made in 3.4%. During shipping the causes of death in defined populations of sheep in 5 voyages were; inanition 43.4%, salmonellosis 20.2%, trauma 10.6%, miscellaneous diseases 5.9%, enterotoxaemia 1.0% and no diagnosis was made in 19.0%. The range of mortality rates per 10,000 sheep at risk for the first 11 days at sea in 5 voyages were inanition 52.6 to 76.7, salmonellosis 7.8 to 109.8, trauma 2.1 to 17.1, miscellaneous diseases 5.9 to 17.1 and enterotoxaemia nil to 10.3.  相似文献

Incidence of post-anaesthetic arrhythmias in the dog     

DARYL D. BUSS  ROBERT E. HESS  ALISTAIR I. WEBB  KAREN R. SPENCER 《The Journal of small animal practice》1982,23(7):399-404

A total of 50 dogs, judged to be free of cardiovascular disease on the basis of physical and electrocardiographic (ECG) examination, underwent ECG monitoring during recovery from general anaesthesia. Fifteen of these dogs (30 per cent) developed some form of cardiac arrhythmia during the recovery period. The arrhythmias most frequently observed were premature ventricular contractions and atrioventricular conduction defects of varying degrees of severity. The observed arrhythmias had ceased by the end of the observation period and did not require specific therapy. There was no apparent correlation between the duration of anaesthesia, the type of medical or surgical procedure and the development of arrhythmias. However, the dogs developing arrhythmias were older than those that did not. The relatively high frequency of occurrence of cardiac arrhythmias must be considered in the evaluation of ECG data from dogs being monitored during recovery from anaesthesia.  相似文献

Investigation of Johne's disease in Tasmanian fallow deer (Dama dama)     

RB Jackson  DJ Kennedy  ESG Sergeant 《Australian veterinary journal》2021,99(1-2):44-45

In 2012 when many sheep flocks in northern‐central Tasmania were experiencing a high prevalence of ovine Johne's disease, 34 wild adult fallow deer shot on or near infected properties were negative to microscopic Mptb lesions of the ileo‐caecal valve, terminal ileum and ileo‐caecal lymph nodes. This study demonstrated 95% confidence of detecting Johne's disease in this fallow deer population if ≥10% of animals were shedding Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis in their faeces, or if ≥21% of animals were sub‐clinically infected.  相似文献

The Effects of Atropine and Glycopyrrolate on Heart Rates in Conscious Mature Goats     

LUISITO S. PABLO DVM  MS  Diplomate ACVA    ALISTAIR I. WEBB BVSC  PhD  FRCVS  Diplomate ACVA  WALTER T. McNICHOLAS JR  DVM 《Veterinary surgery : VS》1995,24(6):531-534

The effects of intravenously administered atropine (0.2 mg/kg) and glycopyrrolate (0.01 mg/kg) on heart rate were studied in 10 conscious mature goats. In a drug cross-over fashion, either atropine, glycopyrrolate, or 0.9% saline solution was administered using the same volume (0.05 mL/kg). Atropine and glycopyrrolate caused a significant increase in heart rate ( P <.05), whereas saline solution (0.09%) did not. The mean percent changes in heart rate from baseline were similar for atropine and glycopyrrolate up to 14 minutes after administration. Thereafter, glycopyrrolate had a significantly greater mean change in heart rate than atropine, ie, up to 29 minutes ( P <.05). Within the atropine group, the mean percentage changes in heart rate became significantly lower compared with the initial increase (1 minute) starting at 11 minutes. For the glycopyrrolate group, the mean percent changes became significantly lower starting at 27 minutes. Glycopyrrolate and atropine had a mean percentage change in heart rate of greater than 1.0%, up to 31 and 22 minutes, respectively. At the doses used, glycopyrrolate had longer duration of action than atropine but the magnitude of increase was similar.  相似文献
