This report describes the use of a pressure-sensitive walkway to evaluate an uncommon case of a cat with dorsal luxation of the left scapula and an amputated right forelimb. The findings suggest that limb amputation induced load redistribution mostly to the contralateral forelimb despite the scapular luxation.  相似文献   

Nitrogen availability,maturity and stability of bokashi-type fertilizers elaborated with different feedstocks of animal origin     

Madelaine Quiroz  Felipe Flores 《Archives of Agronomy and Soil Science》2019,65(6):867-875

Organic amendments, such as bokashi, are applied to the soil to increase the N. However, the available N provided by these fertilizers and the feedstocks with which they are produced have been poorly documented. In this work, the available N in bokashi was evaluated as well as their biological stability and chemical maturity. The treatments bokashi poultry (WVP); bokashi swine (WVS) and bokashi control (WVC) contained wheat straw and vegetable wastes; WVP and WVS also included poultry and swine manure, respectively. The temperature, mineral N, pH, EC, CO₂ production rate and germination index (IG) were measured. At the end of the trial, all of the treatments’ temperatures exceeded room temperature. The WVP presented a higher mineral N (1,054 mg kg^?1) than the WVS (844 mg kg^?1) and the WVC (907 mg kg^?1). In all treatments, the NH₄⁺ and NO₃^? decreased. EC reached phytotoxicity levels in all treatments (EC > 3 dS m^?1). None of the treatments showed biological stability or chemical maturity (IG of WVP, WVS and WVC: 10%, 29% and 19%, respectively). Therefore, it is concluded that applying these bokashi to soils could limit crop growth due to phytotoxic effects and immobilization of transient N.  相似文献   

15N-Urea Efficiency in Maize as Influenced by Humic Substances and Urease Inhibitors Treatments     

Luís Felipe Rinaldi  Pedro Lopes Garcia  Renata Alcarde Sermarini  Paulo Cesar Ocheuze Trivelin 《Communications in Soil Science and Plant Analysis》2019,50(2):198-208

Urea treated with urease inhibitors (UI) in association with humic substances (HS) is expected to improve urea efficiency by reducing ammonia losses and also provide the benefits of HS such as improve nitrogen (N) recovery by plants. Ammonia volatilization (AV), ¹⁵N recovery efficiency in the soil (NRE) and ¹⁵N use efficiency (NUE) were evaluated in maize (Zea mays L.) in a greenhouse pot trial. Treatments consisted of ¹⁵N-urea treated with UI (0, 0.4% boron (B) +0.15% copper (Cu), 0.64% B, and NBPT (N-(n-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide)) and three levels of HS (0%, 0.6%, and 1.2%). A control treatment (without N) was also included. N treatments were applied at V4 (vegetative leaf stage 4) on soil surface. HS was not efficient on AV reduction, NBPT had the greatest reduction in AV, and B had higher efficiency on AV reduction than Cu. At V8 (vegetative leaf stage 8), NBPT had the greatest NUE followed by B. At VT (tassel fully emerged), NUE from urea treated with NBPT reduced when increased levels of HS, and NBPT had the greatest NRE. UI in association with HS treated-urea does not reduce AV and it does not improve NUE by maize in vegetative stages.  相似文献

Effects of 12 and 17 cmH2O positive end-expiratory pressure applied after alveolar recruitment maneuver on pulmonary gas exchange and compliance in isoflurane-anesthetized horses     

Felipe SRM. Andrade  Lara L. Facó  Keila K. Ida  Luis CLC. Silva  Denise T. Fantoni  Aline M. Ambrósio 《Veterinary anaesthesia and analgesia》2019,46(1):64-73

Objective

To compare static compliance (C_st) and alveolar–arterial oxygen tension difference [P(a–a)O₂] between positive end-expiratory pressures (PEEP) of 7, 12 and 17 cmH₂O applied after an alveolar recruitment maneuver (RM) in isoflurane-anesthetized horses.

Study design

Prospective, randomized, clinical study.

Animals

A group of 30 healthy adult horses undergoing arthroscopic surgery.

Methods

Animals in dorsal recumbency and mechanically ventilated with a tidal volume of 14 mL kg^?1 and 7 cmH₂O PEEP (control; n = 6) were subjected to an RM by increasing PEEP from 7 to 22 cmH₂O in 5 cmH₂O increments at 5 minute intervals, and then decreased similarly to PEEP of 17 (RM17; n = 8), 12 (RM12; n = 8) or 7 cmH₂O (RM7; n = 8). C_st and P(a–a)O₂ were assessed prior to (baseline) and after the RM at 5, 10, 15, 20, 40, 60 and 80 minutes after achieving each target PEEP, and during recovery from anesthesia.

Results

Post-RM improvements on P(a–a)O₂ were maintained (baseline versus 80 minutes) in RM12 [216 ± 77 mmHg (28.8 ± 10.3 kPa) versus 194 ± 39 mmHg (25.9 ± 5.2 kPa)] and RM17 [180 ± 86 mmHg (24.0 ± 11.6 kPa) versus 136 ± 75 mmHg [18.2 ± 10.0 kPa]). The improvements on C_st were maintained only in RM12 (0.80 ± 0.13 versus 0.98 ± 0.13 mL cmH₂O^?1 kg^?1). No such improvements were observed in RM7 and control. No significant differences were observed between groups during recovery from anesthesia.

Conclusions

and clinical relevance The 12 and 17 cmH₂O PEEP can be used to maintain the improvements on P(a–a)O₂ obtained after an RM. Only 12 cmH₂O PEEP maintained the post-RM increase on C_st. Such variables were not influenced by the 7 cmH₂O PEEP.  相似文献   

Milk production and composition,food consumption,and energy balance of postpartum crossbred Holstein-Gir dairy cows fed two diets of different energy levels     

dos Santos  Gustavo Bervian  Brandão  Felipe Zandonadi  dos Santos Ribeiro  Lilian  Ferreira  Alexandre Lima  Campos  Mariana Magalhães  Machado  Fernanda Samarini  de Carvalho  Bruno Campos 《Tropical animal health and production》2019,51(1):65-71

The objective of this study was to evaluate the production, consumption, and energy balance parameters of primiparous 3/4 and 7/8 Holstein × Gir (HG) dairy cows fed two diets of differing energy levels during the postpartum period. At the beginning of the study, 28 days prepartum, the average weight of both genetic groups was 498?±?12 kg and body condition score (BCS) was 3.5?±?0.05. At the end of the study, 61 days postpartum, the 3/4 HG cows had higher weight and body condition scores than the 7/8 HG (456?±?8 and 429?±?8 kg and 3.13?±?0.03 and 2.94?±?0.03 BCS for 3/4 HG and 7/8 HG, respectively). Milk from cows fed the high-energy diet had higher percentages of fat, protein, lactose, and total dry extract than cows fed the low-energy diet. Cows fed the high-energy diet had higher net energy intake (95.3?±?1.9 vs. 88.1?±?2.1 MJ/day) and higher energy balance (3.64?±?2.13 vs ??6.02?±?2.30 MJ/day). The 3/4 HG cows displayed higher energy for maintenance (33.1?±?0.4 MJ/day) than the 7/8 HG (31.5?±?0.5 MJ /day). In conclusion, although the primiparous 3/4 HG were heavier than the 7/8 HG and had a higher body condition score, no differences in milk produced up to 60 days postpartum were observed. The higher energy diet during the postpartum period increased energy balance, resulting in higher production of milk fat, protein, and lactose.

Osteosarcoma is the most commonly reported bone tumor in dogs, typically affecting the axial and appendicular skeleton. Involvement of the paranasal sinuses and the nasal cavity is extremely rare. This report describes a 6-year-old, female, cross-breed dog presented with signs of 90 days duration and diagnosed with a mass located in the right nasal cavity. Radiography, rhinoscopy, and computed tomography findings suggested the presence of an intranasal tumor. Osteosarcoma in the nasal cavity was diagnosed based on histopathological examination and clinical and imaging findings. Survival time was 12 months from diagnosis.  相似文献   

Characterization of the LH peak after short and long fixed‐time artificial insemination protocols in sheep raised in the tropics          下载免费PDF全文

The aim of this study was to evaluate the peak in luteinizing hormone (LH) and the pregnancy rate of sheep (Texel × Santa Inês) in the tropics using short‐ (6 days) and long‐term (12 days) progesterone protocols followed by artificial insemination (AI) both in and out of the breeding season. Experiment 1 was conducted within (IN) the breeding season (autumn, n = 36), and experiment 2 was conducted outside (OUT) of the breeding season (spring, n = 43). In each experiment, the sheep were divided into two groups (6 or 12 days) according to the duration of treatment with a single‐use progesterone release vaginal device (CIDR^®, Pfizer, São Paulo, SP, Brazil), and blood samples were collected from 10 animals per group every 4 hr to measure the LH and progesterone concentrations. In the spring, the characteristics of the LH peak did not differ between groups; but in the autumn, there were differences between groups at the beginning (G‐6 IN: 36.44 ± 5.46 hr; G‐12 IN: 26.57 ± 4.99 hr) and end of the LH peak (G‐6 IN: 46.22 ± 7.51 hr; G‐12 IN: 34.86 ± 8.86 hr). The results showed alterations in the LH peak during the breeding season only in the sheep undergoing the short‐term protocol.  相似文献
