Outbreaks of proliferative haemorrhagic enteropathy on two pig farms   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

PK HOLYOAKE  RS CUTLER 《Australian veterinary journal》1995,72(7):253-256

SUMMARY Clinical signs of proliferative haemorrhagic enteropathy (PHE) including anaemia, dysentery and sudden death were observed in finisher pigs and young breeding stock on 2 farms. On farm A, PHE occurred 12 months after repopulation of the farm. Other outbreaks of PHE occurred after the withdrawal of therapeutic concentrations of in-feed antibacterial agents (farm A), or after monensin sodium (100 g/t) replaced olaquindox (100 g/t) in feed (farm B). The outbreaks, the possible sources of contamination and the role of antibacterial feed additives in the treatment and control of PHE are described.  相似文献   

Selectivity factors relative to asulam for Senecio jacobaea L. control in Medicago sativa L. II. Metabolism*     

DELBERT R. HARPER  ARNOLD P. APPLEBY 《Weed Research》1984,24(2):93-98

Metabolism of ¹⁴C asulam applied with surfactant was studied in Senecio Jacobaea L. and Medicago saliva L. Plants were harvested 48, 96 and 144 h after treatment and extracted with acetone. The aqueous residue of the acetone extract was partitioned with ethyl acetate and the ¹⁴C activity in the ethyl-acetate phase, the aqueous phase and the plant residue was determined. A significant amount of ¹⁴C activity was not extracted by acetone from either species. This amount increased with time in M. sativa but remained relatively constant in S. jacobaea. More ¹⁴C activity was found in the aqueous phase than in the ethyl-acetate phase in M. sativa while the reverse was true in S. jacobaea. Significantly lower amounts of free asulam were identified in M. sativa than in S. jacnbaea. Still, results of these and previous studies on retention, uptake and translocation do not completely account for differences in sensitivity found in greenhouse and field applications. Other possible explanations for selectivity are discussed.  相似文献   

The pharmacokinetics of chloramphenicol in plasma and saliva of dairy cows     

A. DOTTER  R. KROKER  D. ARNOLD 《Journal of veterinary pharmacology and therapeutics》1990,13(1):81-85

In the present study the pharmacokinetics of chloramphenicol were investigated in bovine plasma and saliva. The method of detection of chloramphenicol, a radio-immunoassay, requires only small sample volumes, no further clean-up, and a large number of samples can be processed simultaneously. This enabled the collection of a larger number of samples over a longer period of time than in previous studies. The intention was to obtain a complete pharmacokinetic profile of chloramphenicol, to evaluate it according to common open-compartment models, and to compare it with the results of previous studies. The radio-immunoassay results were confirmed by analysing a number of samples distributed over the concentration range of interest by a gas-chromatographic method with electron-capture detection. The suitability of saliva was evaluated as a possible means of monitoring compliance with the ban on chloramphenicol in the Federal Republic of Germany in milk-producing animals.  相似文献   

Surgical Treatment of Male Dogs With Urinary Incontinence Due to Urethral Sphincter Mechanism Incompetence     

U.Th. WEBER DrMedVet  Diplomate ECVS    S. ARNOLD DrMedVet    M. HUBLER DMV  J.R. KUPPER DrMedVet 《Veterinary surgery : VS》1997,26(1):51-56

A modified technique for fixation of the deferent ducts to the abdominal wall as a therapy for urinary incontinence caused by urethral sphincter mechanism incompetence (USMI) in male dogs is described, and the results in seven dogs are reported. The goal of this treatment was to achieve an effect similar to colposuspension in female dogs with USMI. An increase in urethral length of an average of 28 mm was obtained (range, 5 to 50 mm, measured radiographically). Preoperatively, the neck of the bladder was located intrapelvically in five of seven dogs. Postoperatively, the neck of the bladder was located intra-abdominally, near the caudo-ventral abdominal wall, in all dogs. After a follow-up period of 12 to 49 months, the response to surgery, based on lack of or decrease of incontinence, was excellent in three dogs, good in another three, and poor in one dog.  相似文献

Clinical exercise testing in the normal Thoroughbred racehorse   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

RJ ROSE  DK HENDRICKSON  PK KNIGHT 《Australian veterinary journal》1990,67(10):345-348

To evaluate normal cardiorespiratory and metabolic responses of Thoroughbred horses to a standardised treadmill exercise test, we examined 28 horses ranging in age from 1 to 4 years. The group consisted of eight yearlings, eight 2-year-olds and twelve 3 and 4-year-olds. All horses except the yearlings were in training, and either racing or ready to race, at the time of examination. None of the horses had histories of performance problems. On the first day the horses received a full physical examination, resting electrocardiogram, upper respiratory tract endoscopy and either one or two acclimatisation runs on the treadmill. The following day they were given an exercise test on a treadmill inclined at 6 degrees (+10% slope). The test consisted of 3 min at 4 m/sec, 90 sec at 6 m/sec and 60 sec intervals at 8, 10, 11, 12 and 13 m/sec. During the last 15 sec of each step, blood samples were collected for plasma lactate determination, expired respiratory gases were obtained using an open flow mask system for measurement of oxygen uptake, and heart rate was measured using telemetry electrocardiogram. From these measurements, various derived values were calculated, which have been used by others as indices of exercise capacity. These values included: V200 (speed at HR of 200 bpm), VHRmax (speed at which horses reached maximum HR), VO2-200 (oxygen uptake at a HR of 200 bpm), VO2max (maximum oxygen uptake), VLA4 (speed at which horses reached a plasma lactate of 4 mmol/l) and HRLA4 (HR at which horses reached a plasma lactate of 4 mmol/l). The yearlings had significantly lower values than the older age groups for most of the derived values.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献   

ETHYLENE GLYCOL SORPTION BY HOMOIONIC MONTMORILLONITES   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

I. M. ELTANTAWy  P. W. ARNOLD 《European Journal of Soil Science》1974,25(1):99-110

Experimental procedures giving complete unimolecular surface coverage of montmorillonite by ethylene glycol (EG) are described. The EG sorption data, excluding rate effects, are independent of the nature of the exchangeable cations associated with the clay surfaces. The amount of EG sorbed (0.357±0.007 g EG/g montmorillonite) is larger than that obtained following previously recommended techniques based on low pressure equilibration with CaCl²-EG mixtures (solvates) of relatively small EG content or on dynamic approaches. In both of the latter, the extent of EG sorption is determined by the exchangeable cation-EG interaction and not by the real extent of the surface. Na- and K-saturated montmorillonite-EG complexes are less stable than those formed from Ca or Mg clay.  相似文献   

Effect of intervals between application and tillage on glyphosate control of Cyperus rotundus L.*     

RICHARD L. CHASE  ARNOLD P. APPLEBY 《Weed Research》1979,19(3):207-211

Research conducted in El Salvador, Central America, demonstrated that an interval of 3 days between application of glyphosate and tillage was sufficient to cause 90% reduction in purple nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus L.) plants, while delays of 11–23 days generally gave slightly less reduction. à second application to the same plots 35 days following tillage resulted in more than 90% reduction with all intervals. Approximately 3 months after the initial treatment, tuber numbers had been reduced to half the original population. Germination of the remaining tubers was reduced by more than 50%. Glyphosate applied during the dry season caused an average of 79% reduction in plant numbers compared with 88% in the rainy season. However, in the dry season, the remaining plants had no competition from other weeds and after 5 months there was only à 40% reduction in nutsedge population. During the rainy season, 1, 2 and 3 kg/ha were equally effective, but 1 kg/ha was not sufficient in the dry season.  相似文献
