Objectives: The objectives of this study were to determine basic oral pharmacokinetics, and assess safety analgesic efficacy a cannabidiol (CBD) based oil in dogs with osteoarthritis (OA). Methods: Single-dose pharmacokinetics was performed using two different doses CBD enriched (2 8 mg/kg) oil. Thereafter, randomized placebo-controlled, veterinarian, owner blinded, cross-over conducted. Dogs received each treatments: or placebo every 12 h. Each treatment lasted for 4 weeks 2-week washout...
Colostrum is a rich source of nutritional and non-nutritional components recognized as essential to transfer passive immunity newborn calves. Because the individual seasonal variability in colostrum yield composition, maintaining an adequate supply high-quality year-round remains challenge for commercial dairy producers. In this narrative review, we described individual, seasonal, herd-level production summarized association between animal factors such parity, sex calf, calf birth weight,...
The objective was to use longitudinal data of blood nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) and β-hydroxybutyrate (BHBA) concentrations describe the relationship between NEFA BHBA in dairy cows during periparturient period. Blood concentration collected from d 21 prepartum postpartum for 269 multiparous Holstein were selected 4 different studies carried out within our research groups. Overall, increased beginning near parturition with a relatively steady elevation through 9, after which gradually...
The objectives were as follows: (1) establish cow-level thresholds for prepartum nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) and postpartum NEFA, β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), haptoglobin (Hp) concentrations associated with negative health events; (2) evaluate associations between biomarkers 305-d mature equivalent milk at the fourth test day (ME305) reproductive performance; (3) identify herd-alarm levels (proportion of cows sampled above critical threshold) that are herd-level changes in disorder...
Objectives: To examine the relative levels of heavy metals and arsenic content in commercial dog foods (arsenic, cadmium, lead mercury) 51 over-the-counter maintenance or all-life-stage dry foods. All products were chosen segregated based on meat sources (fish, poultry, red-meat – 17 from each category) as animal protein being primary contaminated ingredient due to bioaccumulation. Methods: Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was performed that classified fish, red (beef,...
Amino acids (AA) are integral nutrients for a functioning immune system. Postpartum cows experience AA deficits early postpartum that may influence the response to activation. This study investigated clinical and inflammatory responses systemic stimulus after 4-d intravenous (IV) infusion with mix of essential nonessential designed ameliorate estimated metabolizable protein deficit in cows. Our objectives were (1) describe an acute IV lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge cows, (2) compare...
The objective of this study was to investigate the effect increasing MP supply in prepartum, postpartum, or both diets on intake, performance, and metabolic indicators. Multiparous Holstein cows (n = 96) were assigned 1 4 treatment groups at 28 d before expected calving following a randomized block design. Prepartum formulated contain either control (C; 85 g MP/kg DM) high (H; 113 level estimated MP. From 21 DIM, 104 131 To potential confounding Met Lys supply, an equal amount 1.24 3.84...
The objective of this presentation is to introduce the topic cow-calf separation in dairy cattle pertinent practitioner. It includes background on reasons given for and against contact such as health, behavior, housing considerations production effects. will specifically provide insight into available ongoing research systems with a focus possible role bovine practitioner current debate. Knowledge gaps are identified almost all areas importance producer provide an opportunity involvement...
