Examination of the origin of increased equine serum alkaline phosphatase concentrations   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

Trueman KF  Lumsden JH  McSherry BJ 《The Canadian veterinary journal. La revue veterinaire canadienne》1983,24(4):108-111

Serum alkaline phosphatase activity was found to be increased in 32.6% of equine samples analyzed at the Ontario Veterinary College over an 18 month period. An attempt was made using sensitivity to L-phenylalanine and heat to identify the origin of increased serum alkaline phosphatase isoenzymes present in 44 clinical cases. No difference in sensitivity to either procedure was observed for serum alkaline phosphatase from groups of foals and horses representing different clinical problems. Alkaline phosphatase of osseous tissue origin appeared to be the major source of activity for each group of animals reported.  相似文献   

A strategy for control of bovine leukemia virus infection: test and corrective management   总被引：2，自引：2，他引：0       下载免费PDF全文

Ruppanner R  Behymer DE  Paul S  Miller JM  Theilen GH 《The Canadian veterinary journal. La revue veterinaire canadienne》1983,24(6):192-195

Test and corrective management was applied in one dairy herd (130 milking cows) to control bovine leukemia virus infection. It consisted of: raising uninfected calves in order to establish a pool of uninfected replacement heifers, preventing transmission of bovine leukemia virus through transfer of blood from animal to animal and closing the herd. Regular herd testing was combined with selected changes in herd management. These procedures have been followed since January 1979. Prevalence of antibodies (as determined by gel-immunodiffusion) has declined markedly since the program was implemented.  相似文献   

Treatment of sarcoptic mange in canadian cattle with ivermectin   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0       下载免费PDF全文

Lavigne C  Smith HJ 《The Canadian veterinary journal. La revue veterinaire canadienne》1983,24(12):389-390,391

In 1982, approximately 13,000 Canadian cattle were treated once for sarcoptic mange with ivermectin at a dose of 10 mg per 45.4 kg of body weight. The results showed 100% efficacy against Sarcoptes scabiei and other ectoparasites present. All cattle showed marked improvement in general condition with new hair growth and apparent weight gains by 31 days posttreatment. Surveillance of treated herds for a year following treatment showed that one parenteral treatment with ivermectin eradicated the disease from closed herds.  相似文献   

Effects of breed, diet and sex on the alkaline phosphatase activity in walls of the bovine rumen and abomasum     

J P Fay  K J Cheng  J W Costerton 《Journal of animal science》1983,56(6):1427-1433

Alkaline phosphatase (APase) activity in tissue samples, with adherent bacteria, was measured from two sites in the rumen and from two sites in the abomasum of 57 yearling Angus and Hereford bulls and heifers fed a high or a low energy diet. In the rumen, APase activity was higher at the caudoventral blind sac than at the dorsal sac in animals of both breeds fed the high energy diet and in Angus bulls fed the low energy diet, but the reverse was observed in Hereford bulls fed the low-energy diet (P less than .01). In the abomasum, APase levels were higher for bulls than heifers (P less than .01) and higher at the fundic than at the pyloric region (P less than .01). Morphological studies also showed that rumen samples from animals fed a high energy diet exhibited a more widely distributed APase activity and an increase in the digestive recycling of epithelial cells that produced some "pitting" of the tissue. The higher APase activity of the epithelial tissue of animals fed the high energy diet may be explained by the greater rate of cell death and renewal indicated by the higher mitotic index reported by other researchers who have studied the cell cycle of the rumen epithelium in ruminants fed high and low energy diets.  相似文献   

Lymphosarcoma with hypercalcemia and osteolysis in a dog          下载免费PDF全文

Lymphosarcoma in a six year old male Doberman pinscher was accompanied by hypercalcemia, generalized osteolysis and renal calcification. Tumor involvement of bone marrow was extensive. The possible pathogenesis of hypercalcemia was thought to be the result of a locally active bone-resorbing factor secreted by the tumor cells.  相似文献   

The F38-Like Group,a New Group of Caprine Mycoplasmas?     

H. Ern   R. H. Leach  M. M. Salih  K. J. MacOwan 《Acta veterinaria Scandinavica》1983,24(3):275-286

This paper concerns the taxonomic status of the F38-like group (MacOwan), a prime determinant of contagious caprine pleuropneumonia (CCPP). Extensive biochemical and serological investigations on strain F38 are reported. Some complex serological relationships with other mycoplasma species are revealed. The results, taken in conjunction with earlier published work on geno-typic characters, lead to the conclusion that final classification of these organisms should await further comparative studies of a number of field strains with a related group of strains classified as M. capri-colum.The characterization of F38 confirms its partial relationship to the “M. mycoides group” of ovine/caprine/bovine mycoplasmas, and has also revealed a very close phenotypic relationship to the bovine mycoplasma serogroup 7, a finding of potential diagnostic and epidemiological importance.Key words: mycoplasmas, classification, F38-like group  相似文献   

Endocrine effects of heat stress in boars   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

The purpose of this study was to describe the temporal changes in peripheral plasma levels of testosterone and Cortisol in boars during and after heat stress. A total of 8 boars were utilized, 4 of them were exposed to 35°C, for 100 h in a climatic room, and 4 served as controls and were kept at 20 °C for 100 h in the climatic room.Blood samples were obtained via permanent vein catheters 3 times daily from 5 days before heat stress until 20 days after termination of heat stress. Testestorone levels were determined by radioimmunoassay and Cortisol by a competitive protein binding technique.For both hormones the pre-exposure levels were similar in both groups of boars. The control boars had significantly higher testosterone levels, while being in the climatic room, than during any other period. The experimental boars had slightly increased testosterone levels during the first day of heat stress and thereafter continuously decreased levels. In the control boars the testosterone levels returned to pre-exposure levels immediately after removal from the climatic room, whereas in the experimental boars the testosterone levels were dramatically increased during the first 5 days after exposure. The differences in Cortisol levels, between the 2 groups of boars were restricted to the period spent in the climatic room. During this period the experimental boars had significantly higher Cortisol levels.Key words: boars, heat stress, testosterone, cortisol  相似文献
