Background The diagnostic tools for bovine respiratory disease diagnosis include clinical inspection, thoracic auscultation, and ultrasonography. Hypothesis Thoracic auscultation examination have limitations in the detection of lung consolidation dairy calves. Animals Prospective cohort 106 preweaned calves from 13 different herds (10 with a history active (BRD) 3 without suspected BRD problems). Methods Each calf was clinically inspected using Wisconsin scoring chart (CRSC) treatment noted....
AbstractFamilial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an autosomal codominant lipoprotein disorder characterized by elevated low-density cholesterol (LDL-C) and high risk of premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Definitions for FH rely on complex algorithms that are the basis levels total or LDL-C, clinical features, family history, DNA analysis often difficult to obtain. We propose a novel simplified definition FH. Definite includes: (1) LDL-C (≥ 8.50 mmol/L); (2) ≥ 5.0 mmol/L (for age...
Background Bovine respiratory disease ( BRD ) is 1 of the 2 most important causes morbidity and mortality in dairy calves. Surprisingly, field data are scant concerning prevalence pathogens involved preweaned calves, especially small herds. Objectives To identify main isolated from calves Québec herds with a high incidence , to determine if there an association between presence these clinical signs pneumonia, lung consolidation, or average daily gain. Animals Cross‐sectional study using...
Background Thoracic ultrasonography (TUS) can be used to assess the extent and severity of lung lesions associated with bronchopneumonia (BP) in feedlot cattle. Hypothesis/Objectives To inter‐rater agreement reliability TUS findings cattle, or without naturally occurring BP. Animals Feedlot steers (n = 210) 107) clinical signs BP that were assessed by a previous case‐control study. Methods A random sample 50 videos (16‐s duration) scored 6 raters various levels expertise. Lung consolidation,...
Summary Prolonged pregnancy in cattle is a rare condition that commonly accompanied with fetal adenohypophyseal hypoplasia. The final diagnosis often challenging as breeding date error remains possible virtually all situations. In this report, wellbeing assessment depicted two Holstein cows suffered from prolonged pregnancy. Transabdominal ultrasonographic findings were compatible healthy non‐stressed fetuses. clinical and pathologic encountered both fetuses expelled after corticosteroid...
Various strategies have been adopted to mitigate the impact of bovine respiratory disease (BRD) in dairy replacement calves. The diagnosis BRD is challenging because there no gold standard for its on-farm. Several subjective scoring methods, such as Calf Respiratory Health Score (CRHS) from University Wisconsin, which based on rectal temperature, and assessment cough, ocular-nasal discharge ear drooping, are available help producers identify calves with BRD. Additionally, practitioners can...
Angiopoietin-like 2 (ANGPTL2) is an inflammatory adipokine linking obesity to insulin resistance. Intermittent fasting, on the other hand, a lifestyle intervention able prevent and diabetes but difficult implement maintain. Our objectives were characterize link between ANGPTL2 intermittent fasting investigate whether knockdown of reproduces benefits weight gain responsiveness in wild-type littermates mice. access food ad libitum once every day, was initiated at age three months maintained...
We evaluated meat quality and testosterone cortisol contents of from 30 bulls steers. Meat steers had significantly higher fat content, lower total collagen, pH, shear forces L, a b values than bulls. Sarcomere length, soluble steroids content were not statistically different between No direct hormonal effects on have been found. Reported differences in could be attributable to stress slaughter ages. Key words: Steroids, quality, bulls,
