Current scientific approaches to welfare assessment in broilers are based on individual sampling that can be time consuming under field conditions. On the other hand, farmers conduct routine checks walks through house screen birds' health condition. We adapted following line transect methodology used wildlife studies explore their feasibility as a tool. The aim of this study was compare broiler assessed by and walks. evaluated 6 identically managed flocks. For sampling, we collected measures...
An aflatoxicosis outbreak affected 65 dogs from 9 different farms after they were fed diets with cooked corn meal as a common ingredient. Of the dogs, 60 died. Numerous died on additional farms, but those not included in study. The farmers acquired contaminated maize products, form of whole grain or meal, same supplier. product was mixed meat that left over home commercial rations to polenta, which dogs. Necropsy performed 3 Two few days refusing food, showing anorexia, polydipsia, icteric...
Tracheal neoplasia is considered infrequent in domestic animals. A detailed summarized description of the demographic trends patients and frequent tumor types arising from this anatomical location missing reference literature. To better describe clinical pathological features, a multi-institutional retrospective analysis literature review were conducted to collect all tracheal neoplasms reported dogs cats. Forty-two cases data search 123 documented veterinary between 1961 August 2024...
ABSTRACT Neonatal mortality in dogs is high, ranging from approximately 5% to 35%, yet investigations into its causes and risk factors remain scarce. Postmortem examination a crucial tool for identifying the underlying of neonatal death improving disease diagnosis. However, anatomical, physiological histological differences between neonates adults present unique challenges necropsy procedures. Establishing standardised protocol essential accurately determining associated diseases. This pilot...
Delivering piglets is one of the most energy demanding activities sows undergo in their lifetime. Sows can have myometrial contractions from two to 12 hours before first piglet expelled as well a nest building behavior. Thus, when delivered female has already used part her supply. When sow gets exhausted due lack energy, farrowing process be interrupted, causing damage viability and vitality piglets. In present study, we evaluated effects feeding an supplement at onset on kinetics vitality....
Previous research has shown that the transect walks (TW) method provide a practical and effective approach to welfare assessment in broiler turkey farms. This for is reasonable terms of time demands within minimal costs. Furthermore, TW resembles routine checks used by farmers. The overall aim this study was verify feasibility as potential tool on-farm turkeys during fattening period. A total 14 commercial farms (8 male 6 female flocks) same genetic strain (British United Turkeys [B.U.T.] -...
Liver cancer results in a high degree of mortality, especially among men. As fatty liver disease is risk factor for development hepatocellular carcinoma, we investigated the role dietary fat type tumor promotion by high-fat diets mice after initiation with chemical carcinogen diethyl nitrosamine. Tumor incidence and multiplicity were significantly greater males than those females. In males, had complex effects on tumorigenesis. Preneoplastic foci most prevalent fed polyunsaturated diet...
Rotavirus (RV) is an important viral pathogen causing diarrhea in piglets and other mammals worldwide. We describe 34 cases from 4 diarrheal outbreaks caused by RV unvaccinated farrowing units southern Brazil 2011 to 2013. performed autopsy, histologic examinations, bacterial culture, immunohistochemistry (IHC), enteric virus detection through molecular assays for rotavirus A, B, C, transmissible gastroenteritis virus, porcine epidemic sapovirus, norovirus, kobuvirus. Histologically, villus...
Current oncolytic virotherapies possess limited response rates. However, when certain patient selection criteria are used, virotherapy rates have been shown to increase.
Abstract Background The increase in overall rates of cesarean sections (CS) Brazil causes concern and it appears that multiple factors are involved this fact. In 2009, undergraduate students the first final years medical school at University Santa Catarina answered questionnaires regarding their choice mode delivery. aim study was to evaluate whether education process affects decision-making waay childbirth preferred by students. Methods A cross-sectional, quantitative conducted based on...
Abstract: In this retrospective study was determined the frequency of canine skin peripheral nerve sheath tumors (PNST) in cases diagnosed by Setor de Patologia Veterinária Universidade Federal do Rio Grande Sul (SPV-UFRGS), Brazil, between years 2000 and 2012. The profiles, as well histological, immunohistochemical prognostic aspects were based on 70 samples, comprising 40 females, 29 males one unspecified sample. Between 2012, 2,984 dogs SPV-UFRGS, totaling 2.34% neoplasms dogs. Animals...
Although porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) vaccines have been available in North America for almost 30 years, many face a significant hurdle: they must provide cross-protection against the highly diverse PRRSV strains. This cross-protection, or heterologous vaccine efficacy, relies greatly on vaccine's ability to induce strong immune response various strains-heterologous immunogenicity. Thus, this study investigated efficacy immunogenicity of modified live (MLV)...
São descritos surtos de intoxicação espontânea por Cestrum intermedium em bovinos leiteiros do Município Salgado Filho, sudoeste Estado Paraná, com morte dezesseis um total 72 quatro pequenas propriedades. O histórico obtido nessas propriedades incluía curso clínico agudo, menos 24 horas. Em todas foram observadas elevada lotação área escassa pastagem disponível e grande quantidade plantas arbustivas identificadas como C. sinais terem sido consumidas pelos animais. Dois necropsiados os...
A retrospective study of 24 cases papillomas in dogs was performed from January 2001 to March 2011. Additionally, immunohistochemistry (IHC) used characterize and evaluate the samples. We found that disease observed more mixed breed dogs, ages ranging 6 months 10 years (mean 3.1 years), there no gender predilection. The main lesion sites were skin (75%), lips (16.7%), eyelids (8.3%). Upon histological evaluation, we papillary exophytic proliferation squamous epithelium endophytic (inverted)...
