Effect of ivermectin and oxfendazole on shedding of larvae of the lungworm (Dictyocaulus viviparus) by red deer (Cervus elaphus)     

Bowie JY  Mackintosh CG  Mason PC 《New Zealand veterinary journal》1987,35(1-2):8-10

Thirty eight newly weaned hinds were randomly allocated to one of two equal groups. One group received ivermectin, the other, oxfendazole at dose rates of 0.2 mg/kg and 4.5 mg/kg, respectively. All deer were drenched four times and were grazed on pasture. Both anthelmintics reduced D. viviparus faecal larval counts to low levels 20 days after dosing, but the mean larval output and the proportion of deer shedding D. viviparus larvae at 27 and 33 days after treatment, were significantly lower in the ivermectin treated group. There was no significant difference in weight gain between the two groups throughout the trial. This study suggests that ivermectin prevents reinfection with D. viviparus for approximately 14 days longer than oxfendazole.  相似文献   

Thromboembolic meningocephalitis caused by Haemophilus somnus infection in a bull calf-a new disease in New Zealand     

Thompson KG  Vickers MC  Stevenson BJ  Davidson GW 《New Zealand veterinary journal》1987,35(1-2):5-7

Thromboembolic meningoencephalitis (TEME) caused by Huemophilus somnus infection was diagnosed for the first time in New Zealand in an eight month old bull calf. Clinical signs included pyrexia, excessive salivation, recumbency, opisthotonus and rigidity of the front legs. Multiple red, malacic foci (1-10 mm in diameter) were visible grossly on the surface of the cerebrum and cerebellum, and were scattered throughout the brain parenchyma. Histologically these lesions consisted of focal haemorrhage, necrosis and neutrophilic infiltration. Fibrin thrombi and colonies of gram negative bacteria were present in many small blood vessels within necrotic foci. An organism with the morphological and biochemical characteristics of Haemophilus somnus was cultured from the brain. Although TEME is an important disease of feedlot cattle in North America and Europe it is relatively uncommon in cattle grazing pasture and is therefore unlikely to become a major problem in New Zealand.  相似文献   

Isolation of oxfendazole resistant Cooperia oncophora in cattle     

Jackson RA  Townsend KG  Pyke C  Lance DM 《New Zealand veterinary journal》1987,35(11):187-189

A field strain of Cooperia oncophora resistant to oxfendazole was isolated from a commercial cattle rearing property in Waikato, New Zealand. Resistance to oxfendazole was assessed by means of a faecal egg count depression test and an in vitro egg hatch test. This is the first documented case of anthelmintic resistance in Cooperia spp. and the first report of anthelmintic resistance in cattle in New Zealand.  相似文献

The effects of artificially-induced fly-strike on food intake and liveweight gain in sheep     

Heath AC  Bishop DM  Tenquist JD 《New Zealand veterinary journal》1987,35(4):50-52

A single, artificially-induced fly-strike with Lucilia sericata larvae was associated with a rapid (decline in food intake in sheep, with a consequent reduction in liveweight. Loss of weight ranged from 0.5 to 5.5 kg over four to six days and recovery to pre-infestation liveweight took three to 36 days. Pair-fed, uninfested partners of these sheep also showed a reduction in liveweight, whereas uninfested sheep in some experiments fed ad libitum showed either little change or a gain in liveweight over the same period. In general, maggot infested sheep took less time to regain weight than did their pair-fed partners although the weight lost as a proportion of initial weight was similar in both groups. Loss of appetite alone would appear to account for these events.  相似文献
