Evaluation of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for diagnosis of trichinellosis in swine.     

M L van der Leek  J B Dame  C L Adams  K D Gillis  R C Littell 《American journal of veterinary research》1992,53(6):877-882

Experimental and field trials were conducted to evaluate an ELISA for its ability to detect Trichinella-infected domestic swine and to compare ELISA results with muscle-digestion test results. The ELISA used was a commercial double-antibody kit, containing an excretory-secretory antigen, and was evaluated principally for epidemiologic use. Experimentally induced infection in swine (4 groups of 3 pigs each; inoculated with 0, 50, 500 or 5,000 larvae) was detected as early as postinoculation week 4, with seroconversion of all inoculated swine by postinoculation week 8. The rate of seroconversion appeared to be affected by initial larval dose, time after inoculation, and immunocompetence of the individual host. Determination of antibody kinetics generally revealed rapidly increasing antibody titer, followed by its steady decrease in most pigs. Once seropositive, however, all pigs remained seropositive for the duration of the 10-week study. Presence of muscle larvae was confirmed in all infected pigs at termination of the study. We recognize that the experimental conditions may not be truly representative of those under which natural infection develops in pigs; however, the ELISA detected an infected pig with muscle larval density of 0.87 larvae/g of tissue. Results of a field trial (n = 310) indicated no muscle digestion test-positive pigs (35 g of diaphragm muscle digested/pig), but 3 samples tested positive by ELISA for specificity of 99.0%.  相似文献   

Bilateral ureterocystostomy in a 450-kg horse with ectopic ureters.     

K R Squire  S B Adams 《Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association》1992,201(8):1213-1215

A 450-kg yearling Clydesdale filly was determined to have bilateral ectopic ureters. The resulting incontinence caused severe malodorous perineal dermatitis. Bladder capacity was measured at 800 ml. The urethral sphincter lacked tone, and the horse was seen to urinate in a normal manner only 2 or 3 times a week. A midline celiotomy was performed, and the ureters were identified by cannulation from the ectopic openings. The ureters were ligated, and the cut ends were anastomosed to the dorsal bladder surface by an extravesicular end-to-side technique. A partial thickness seromuscular layer of the bladder was sutured over the ureters in a cranial direction from the anastomosis site for 15 mm. This fixed the ureters to the dorsal surface of the bladder and protected the anastomosis site from tension. After surgery, the horse urinated n a normal manner many times a day. Urinary incontinence continued, but gradually improved. Bladder capacity increased over 13 months to 4.3 L. Surgical (urethral extension) and medical (phenylpropanolamine and estrogen) treatments were instigated to increase urethral sphincter tone. Urinary incontinence continued to improve and, at 11 months after surgery, incontinence was negligible, and the perineal dermatitis had healed.  相似文献   

Selenium levels of beef cattle in southeastern british columbia relative to supplementation and type of pasture     

Fenimore RL  Adams DS  Puls R 《The Canadian veterinary journal. La revue veterinaire canadienne》1983,24(2):41-45

Moderate to extremely low levels of selenium in hay were related to marginally deficient levels of selenium in sera from cattle in the Windermere Valley of southeastern British Columbia. Deficiency was most pronounced in cattle fed local hay during the winter or grazed on fertilized/irrigated pastures. Cattle on range had adequate levels of serum selenium. When sodium selenite was fed at 1.0 and 3.5 mg per head per day, serum selenium levels increased commensurate with the dose. Clinical observations indicated that a variety of clinical problems disappeared after injection or supplementation with selenium/vitamin E.  相似文献

The effect of level of nutrition on the development of resistance to Haemonchus contortus in sheep     

J A Roberts  D B Adams 《Australian veterinary journal》1990,67(3):89-91

Merino wether weaners, 5-months old at the start of the experiment and fed lucerne-based pellets at 600 g per head per day, developed resistance to Haemonchus contortus given as a continuous or "trickle" infection at the rate of 500 larvae 3 times per week over a period of 17 weeks. By contrast, the development of resistance was impaired in weaners fed pellets at 400 g per head per day. Low food intake and protein-energy deprivation, therefore, have a major effect in impairing the development and expression of host-protective immunity against haemonchosis. The point at which low food intake causes outbreaks of haemonchosis in sheep at pasture is critical in determining procedures for prevention and control of the disease.  相似文献   

The effect of dietary bacitracin on the incidence of streptococcus faecalis subspecies liquefaciens and related streptococci in the intestines of young chicks     

Ella M. Barnes  G. C. Mead  G. S. Impey  B. W. Adams 《British poultry science》1978,19(6):713-723

1. A study has been made of changes occurring in the numbers and types of faecal streptococci in the intestines of chicks from hatching to 23 d of age, when fed on a diet containing 50 mg bacitracin/kg.

2. It was found that Streptococcus faecalis sub‐species liquefaciens predominated in chicks prior to feeding and in control birds the organism remained as a significant part of the flora throughout the experiment.

3. Strep. faecalis s.s. liquefaciens was not found after the first week in birds given dietary bacitracin.

4. Although outnumbered initially in the caeca by Strep, faecalis s.s. liquefaciens, other streptococci were present at 10⁶ to 10⁷/g contents from 14 d onwards in both control and bacitracin‐treated birds; these included Strep. faecium biotypes and two other unidentified but related groups.

5. Tests made in vitro showed that Strep. faecalis s.s. liquefaciens was more sensitive to bacitracin than Strep. faecium.

6. The possible effects of Strep. faecalis s.s. liquefaciens on the developing bird are discussed.  相似文献   

Drivers,challenges and opportunities of forage technology adoption by smallholder cattle households in Cambodia     

K Ashley  S Wilson  JR Young  HP Chan  S Vitou  S Suon  PA Windsor  RD Bush 《Tropical animal health and production》2018,50(1):63-73

Forage technology has been successfully introduced into smallholder cattle systems in Cambodia as an alternative feed source to the traditional rice straw and native pastures, improving animal nutrition and reducing labour requirements of feeding cattle. Previous research has highlighted the positive impacts of forage technology including improved growth rates of cattle and household time savings. However, further research is required to understand the drivers, challenges and opportunities of forage technology for smallholder cattle households in Cambodia to facilitate widespread adoption and identify areas for further improvement. A survey of forage-growing households (n = 40) in July–September 2016 examined forage technology adoption experiences, including reasons for forage establishment, use of inputs and labour requirements of forage plot maintenance and use of forages (feeding, fattening, sale of grass or seedlings and silage). Time savings was reported as the main driver of forage adoption with household members spending approximately 1 h per day maintaining forages and feeding it to cattle. Water availability was reported as the main challenge to this activity. A small number of households also reported lack of labour, lack of fencing, competition from natural grasses, cost of irrigation and lack of experience as challenges to forage growing. Cattle fattening and sale of cut forage grass and seedlings was not found to be a widespread activity by interviewed households, with 25 and 10% of households reporting use of forages for these activities, respectively. Currently, opportunities exist for these households to better utilise forages through expansion of forage plots and cattle activities, although assistance is required to support these households in addressing current constraints, particularly availability of water, if the sustainability of this feed technology for smallholder cattle household is to be established in Cambodia.  相似文献   

Protein and energy nutrition of brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) at optimal and elevated temperatures          下载免费PDF全文

M. N. Amin  C. G. Carter  R.S. Katersky Barnes  L. R. Adams 《Aquaculture Nutrition》2016,22(3):527-540

The digestible protein (DP) and digestible energy (DE) requirements for maintenance and growth of brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) were determined using a factorial model at either optimum (15 °C) or elevated temperature (19 °C). Several key parameters of the factorial model were measured using a series of inter‐related studies. The maintenance requirements for DP and DE were 0.10 gDP kg^?0.69 day^?1 (15 °C) and 0.31 gDP kg^?0.78 day^?1 (19 °C), and 34.86 kJDE kg^?0.84 day^?1 (15 °C) and 46.14 kJDE kg^?0.86 day^?1 (19 °C). The total requirements for DP were 0.10 gDP kg^?0.69 day^?1 + 2.14PG (protein gain) (15 °C) and 0.31 gDP kg^?0.78 day^?1 + 1.98PG (19 °C). The total requirements for DE were 36.86 kJDE kg^?0.84 day^?1 + 1.58EG (energy gain) (15 °C) and 46.14 kJDE kg^?0.86 day^?1 + 1.64EG (19 °C). The partial efficiencies for growth were 0.47 (15 °C) and 0.51 (19 °C) for protein, and 0.63 (15 °C) and 0.61 (19 °C) for energy. Nutrient gain was lower at the elevated temperature; however, feed formulation for brook trout should be adjusted to match changes in nutrient requirements at different culture temperatures. The protein and energy requirements model will be useful for developing commercial feeds and feeding charts for brook trout.  相似文献
