Abstract:
... CASE REPORT: An atlanto‐occipital instability secondary to a dog bite was diagnosed in a 4‐year‐old Persian cat. Dorsal stabilisation of the instability was made with two OrthoFiber prostheses (Securos), which were used as tension bands between the nuchal crests of the occipital bone and the spinous process of the axis. Total recovery was achieved 4 days after surgery. Normal alignment of the atla ...

4. Equine gestational length and location: is there more that the research could be telling us?

Abstract:
... Clear definitions of ‘normal’ equine gestation length (GL) are elusive, with GL being subject to a considerable number of internal and external variables that have confounded interpretation and estimation of GL for over 50 years. Consequently, the mean GL of 340 days first established by Rossdale in 1967 for Thoroughbred horses in northern Europe continues to be the benchmark value referenced by v ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Australia declared freedom from bovine tuberculosis (TB) in accordance with international guidelines in 1997 and has since maintained ongoing surveillance for this disease, primarily through abattoir surveillance of cattle carcases (meat inspection) for TB‐like granulomas. The objectives of this study were to estimate the sensitivity of Australia’s surveillance system and quantify the ...

Abstract:
... OBJECTIVE: To determine the baseline pH and temperature of the preputial cavity of bulls. METHODS: We enrolled 55 bulls ranging in age from 15 to 84 months. The preputial temperature and pH were measured by insertion of temperature and pH probes, respectively, into the preputial orifice prior to routine breeding soundness examinations. Information was obtained from owners regarding the diet of eac ...

Four of the abortions occurred in the 3 weeks prior to the sows’ anticipated farrowing dates and the other two occurred in the second trimester of pregnancy. An analysis of farm data showed that the abortion rate in th ...
