Experimental acute yellow-wood (Terminalia oblongata) intoxication in sheep     

LJ FILIPPICH  GR CAO 《Australian veterinary journal》1993,70(6):214-218

SUMMARY An aqueous suspension of air-dried, hammer-milled leaf of Terminalla oblongata (yellow-wood) was administered to sheep by gavage, as a single dose of 5 to 20 g (dry weight)/kg body weight. Doses of 15 g/kg, or more, caused depression, Inappetence, abdominal pain and reduced ruminal movements within 24 to 48 h and some sheep also showed dyspnoea, oplsthotonus and champing of the Jaws. Haematology and blood gas and acid-base measurements were unaffected. In sheep given a dose of 12.5 g/kg, or more, plasma osmolality, aspartate aminotransferase activity and potassium and bilirubin concentrations Increased while plasma total protein markedly decreased and plasma sodium concentration and alkaline phosphatase activity remained normal. Most sheep were necropsled 48 h after dosing. The liver showed zonal hepatocellular necrosis, the pattern of which varied with the dose given. No renal lesions were observed, although one sheep given a very high dose became azotaemic and hyperkalaemic. Hydrothorax, hydroperlcardlum and ascltes developed In sheep given doses of 15 or 20 g/kg.  相似文献

Immunohistochemical Expression of Growth Factors in the Follicular Wall of Normal and Cystic Ovaries of Sows          下载免费PDF全文

The expression of growth factors was evaluated immunohistochemically in normal and cystic ovaries of sows. The immunohistochemically stained area (IHCSA) was quantified by image analysis to analyse the expression of these proteins in the follicular wall of secondary, tertiary and cystic follicles. IGF‐I immunoreactivity was strong in the granulosa cell layer (GC), moderate in the theca interna (TI) and mild in the theca externa (TE) of the normal follicles. There was severe reduction of the labelling to IGF‐I in the GC of the follicular and luteinized cysts. In the normal follicles, the reactivity for IGF‐II was very similar to pattern noted in IGF‐I. There was reduction of the IHCSAs in the GC of the follicular and luteinized cysts, but the decrease was not significant. The staining of the IGF‐II in the TI and TE of the cysts was increased, in comparison with normal follicles. The IHCSAs for VEGF were higher in the GC and TE of the normal follicles in contrast to TI, but this difference was noted only in the tertiary follicle. The VEGF reactivity increased in the GC of the cysts, in relation to normal follicles. The results of the current study show that the formation of ovarian cysts in sows is associated with alterations in the immunohistochemical expression of some growth factors.  相似文献   

Changes in productivity and profitability of wool-growing farms that follow recommendations from agricultural and veterinary studies     

GR LEAN  AL VIZARD  JK WEBB WARE 《Australian veterinary journal》1997,75(10):726-731

Objective To estimate the changes in productivity and profitability in a group of wool-growing farms as they adopted major recommendations from agricultural and veterinary studies.
Farms Four wool-growing farms in south western Victoria were selected from the clients of the Mackinnon Project, a farm consultancy service run from the University of Melbourne. Each farm had closely followed recommended procedures, kept comprehensive financial and physical records and had been clients for at least 5 years. The comparison group was the South Western Victoria Monitor Farm Project (SWVMFP), about 45 farms in the same region as the study farms that were monitored annually by Agriculture Victoria.
Procedure For a 7-year period, the financial and physical performance of both groups of farms was estimated. Stocking rate, wool production, gross farm income, farm operating costs, net farm income and return on assets were compared.
Results Mean gross farm income of the four study farms steadily rose from 86% of the average SWVMFP farm before the adoption of recommendations to an average of 155%. During the same period, net farm income rose from 70% to 207% of the average of the SWVMFP. Return on asset of the four farms rose irregularly from 26% to 145% of the average of the SWVMFP. Farm operating costs on the four farms were higher than for the SWVMFP group, but the ratio of costs remained relatively constant.
Conclusion The adoption of proven research results was associated with large increases in net farm income. An increase in gross income, rather than a reduction in costs was the main reason for this. Research results offer a way to increase the financial viability of wool-growing farmers, many of whom are currently unable to maintain their lifestyle, resources and infrastructure.  相似文献

Genesis of a So-called Ferrolysed Soil of Bangladesh     

M. Eaqub  H.-P. Blume 《植物养料与土壤学杂志》1982,145(5):470-482

It was postulated by Brinkman (1970) that low clay contents in the surface horizon of paddy soils (Planosols) are caused by clay destruction through ferrolysis. In an effort to test this, a rice profile from the site of Brinkman's Eutric Planosol (Salna, Bangladesh) and a neighbouring forest soil (Dystric Cambisol) of the same parent material and particle-size distribution (Bhawal National Park) were investigated. The micro-structure, particle-size distribution, mineral contents, pedogenic oxides, contents of Zr, Ti and K of the fine earth and individual fractions and also the exchangeable ions were studied. The clay fraction of both soils were chloritised by interlaying of hydroxy-Al in the smectite interlayers in the surface horizons and got stabilized. As a result CEC showed some decrease. The forest profile has a loose and uniform brown-yellow surface horizon and is relatively rich in coarse sand at 62–75 cm depth which might be caused by a strong termite activity as observed during sampling. On the contrary, the frequent and alternate reducing and oxidizing conditions have resulted in gleying the top soil and forming iron-oxide films on the surface of aggregates during dry periods in the paddy soil. An evaluation of all results shows that a little clay destruction and an enrichment of silt in the top soil through vertisol formation and also through primary parent material stratification were the reasons for low clay content in epipedons. In forest soil there was a little clay migration, while the epipedon of the paddy soil had low clay in addition, because of selective erosion during heavy rains following the destruction of structure by puddling. The ferrolysis as a dominant factor for a clay-low epipedon is improbable, because the clay loss of the neighbouring forest soil can not be explained by ferrolysis.  相似文献   

Blei- und Cadmium-Status Berliner Böden     

H. -P. Blume  Th. Hellriegel 《植物养料与土壤学杂志》1981,144(2):181-196

Lead an cadmium conditions of Berlin soils Pleistocene sediments of Berlin contain 10 mg/kg Pb and 0.1 mg/kg Cd, but debris of the city 80 mg/kg Pb. The topsoils are enriched with 60–100 mg/kg of anthropogenous Pb, near roads more than 200 mg/kg, and with 0.3–0.6 mg/kg Cd. Only low quantities of both elements were soluble in NH₄-acetate, but half of the polluted elements was extractable with AEDTA, the unextractable part being enriched in the clay fraction. Exchange experiments show very high sorption rates of soluble lead, but in case of cadmium sorption was much lower so that this element can percolate especially sandy acid soils with low humus contents in higher amounts.  相似文献
