A comparison of the nutritive values of early and late varieties of timothy     

V. MÍKA 《Grass and Forage Science》1983,38(1):67-71

In vitro digestibility, fibre, lignin and protein were determined in 50 varieties of timothy differing markedly in maturity date. The grasses were field-grown as single plants and were sampled at 10% ear emergence, 30% flowering and the mature seed stage and were compared in four groups according to date of ear emergence.
Significant differences were found between maturity groups in digestibility and protein concentration particularly at the earlier growth stages. Considerable variation also occurred within maturity groups. Differences in digestibility, fibre, lignin and protein were significantly correlated with the number of days between 30 April and harvest date.
The results are discussed in the context of an appropriate evaluation scheme for timothy varieties.  相似文献

Glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity in ponies and Standardbred horses   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

L B Jeffcott  J R Field  J G McLean  K O'Dea 《Equine veterinary journal》1986,18(2):97-101

The existence of an innate insulin insensitivity in ponies was investigated and compared with the situation in larger breeds of horse. Ponies that were fat or had previously suffered laminitis were found to be far more intolerant to oral glucose loading (1 g/kg bodyweight [bwt]) than normal ponies or Standardbreds. These ponies also exhibited a far greater response in plasma insulin levels after glucose loading. Insulin response tests (0.4 iu/kg bwt insulin intravenously) showed only a minimal and very protracted response in both the fat and laminitic groups. The relevance of these findings in regulation of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, and their role in the pathogenesis of hyperlipaemia, are discussed.  相似文献   

Circulating concentrations of trypsin-like immunoreactivity and activities of lipase and amylase after pancreatic duct ligation in dogs     

K W Simpson  R M Batt  L McLean  D B Morton 《American journal of veterinary research》1989,50(5):629-632

The possibility that assay of circulating trypsin-like immunoreactivity (TLI) could assist in the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis in dogs has been examined by assaying plasma TLI concentrations after pancreatic duct ligation and comparing the results with plasma activities of lipase and amylase. Venous blood samples were obtained from 8 dogs before surgery, then daily for 5 days and at 14 days after ligation of pancreatic ducts. Plasma concentrations of TLI increased within 24 hours and tended to peak before and to decrease more rapidly than activities of lipase and amylase, remaining greater than the control range for 5 days in all but 2 dogs. Plasma lipase and amylase activities increased together and remained greater than the control range in all dogs for 5 days after surgery. Regression analysis of all postoperative data indicated significant correlations between concentration of TLI and lipase activity (r = 0.67, P less than 0.001), concentration of TLI and amylase activity (r = 0.53, P less than 0.001), and between lipase and amylase activities (r = 0.74, P less than 0.001). These findings suggested that assay of TLI may provide an early indication of acute pancreatitis in dogs. Because TLI is specifically pancreatic in origin, high plasma TLI concentration may prove a more reliable indicator of clinical pancreatitis than high activities of amylase or lipase, which may be derived from extrapancreatic tissues.  相似文献   

Duration of the persistent activity of moxidectin against Haemonchus contortus in sheep     

KA ABBOTT  RM COBB†  M HOLM GLASS† 《Australian veterinary journal》1995,72(11):408-410

SUMMARY Weaned lambs were infected with Haemonchus contortus 35,28,21,14 and 7 days after treatment with moxidectin at 0.2 mg/kg and 35 and 14 days after treatment with ivermectin at the same dose rate. Worm counts 14 days after infection showed that moxidectin prevented the establishment of over 99% of infective larvae for 28 days and reduced the establishment rate at 35 days by 96%, relative to ivermectin. There was no difference in the protective efficacy of ivermectin at 14 or 35 days. The persistence of moxidectin is likely to provide advantages in nematode control, particularly when used as a strategic early summer treatment or as a pre-lambing treatment to ewes. Implications of the persistent activity of moxidectin for the development of resistance during the decay phase are discussed.  相似文献

Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth and enhanced intestinal permeability in healthy beagles.   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

R M Batt  E J Hall  L McLean  K W Simpson 《American journal of veterinary research》1992,53(10):1935-1940

The small intestine of healthy adult Beagles was examined to determine whether subclinical abnormalities might exist that would be relevant to the use of Beagles in pharmacologic studies. Duodenal juice was obtained for qualitative and quantitative bacteriologic examinations; jejunal mucosa was taken for morphologic and biochemical investigation, and intestinal permeability was assessed by quantification of 24-hour urinary excretion of 51Cr-labeled EDTA after its oral administration. Comparisons were made with findings in healthy adult dogs of other breeds that served as controls. Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth was found in 14 of the 21 Beagles examined, and represented a mixed flora that included obligate anaerobic bacteria in 8 dogs and exclusively aerobic bacteria in 6 dogs. Intestinal permeability (percentage urinary recovery of 51Cr-labeled EDTA; mean +/- SEM) was considerably higher (P < 0.01) in Beagles with anaerobic overgrowth (37.6 +/- 3.2%) or aerobic overgrowth (30.5 +/- 4.8%), compared with Beagles with no overgrowth (17.3 +/- 1.6%) and with controls (11.1 +/- 1.0%). In Beagles, significant (r = 0.54, P = 0.03) correlation was observed between 24-hour urinary recovery of 51Cr-labeled EDTA and bacterial numbers in duodenal juice. Morphologic changes in jejunal mucosa were minimal, and specific activities of brush border enzymes were not significantly decreased, apart from aminopeptidase N, but activities of lysosomal and endoplasmic reticular marker enzymes were higher in the 3 groups of Beagles with anaerobic, aerobic, or no overgrowth, compared with controls.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献
