The objectives of this study were to (1) evaluate the use a pressure algometer and an automated rumination monitoring system assess changes in pain sensitivity time response endotoxin-induced clinical mastitis (2) effect nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug meloxicam on time, as well other signs, dairy cattle with mastitis. Clinical was induced 12 primiparous multiparous lactating cows by intramammary infusion 25 µg Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) into 1 uninfected quarter....
To investigate the serum and synovial fluid amyloid A (SAA) response in equine models of synovitis septic arthritis to compare handheld validated immunoturbidometric assays for SAA quantification.Controlled, experimental study.Healthy adult horses (n = 9).Synovitis 4) 5) were induced using lipopolysaccharide Staphylococcus aureus, respectively, serial samples collected. Serial cytology was performed both from model submitted bacterial culture. Serum quantified by test assay. Cytologic data...
Group housing of calves can pose a challenge in identifying respiratory disease; therefore, it is necessary to develop tools that identify these disease events. In this experiment, pre-weaned (n = 30) were housed groups with an automatic calf feeder and fitted accelerometer. Step activity, lying behaviors, feeding behaviors recorded determine the effect disease. All health scored twice daily, scores ≥5 diagnosed 10). Each diseased was match paired healthy control based on date diagnosis,...
The objective of this study was to determine the association neonatal calf diarrhea (NCD) with step activity and lying behaviors in pre-weaned dairy calves. Calves were housed individual hutches for first 6 days life, then moved into a group pen. On day birth, calves (n = 30) fitted an accelerometer, recorded. assigned fecal score (FS) twice daily using 0 3 scale, diagnosed NCD 10) when 3. To ensure only noted due NCD, that had any other health complications excluded from analyses 1). pair...
Horses have an increased susceptibility to infection because of a decline in immune function with advancing age. Vitamin E has been found play key role normal system function. The purpose the study was examine effect vitamin supplementation on and response vaccination older horses. Predominantly horses (18.9 +/- 1.3 yr, range 7 26 yr; 523 38 kg BW) were supplemented orally once daily for 16 wk either all-rac-alpha-tocopheryl acetate (15 IU/kg BW; n = 8) or placebo (n 8). One horse from each...
