CALF LYMPH.

Lipoproteins and apolipoproteins in intestinal lymph of the preruminant calf, Bos spp., at peak lipid absorption.

We have recently evaluated the in vivo role of the liver in lipoprotein homeostasis in the preruminant calf (Bauchart, D., D. Durand, P. M. Laplaud, P. Forgez, S. Goulinet, and M. J. Chapman, 1989. J. Lipid Res. 30: 1499-1514). We now present the partial characterization of lipoprotein particles in postprandial intestinal lymph at peak lipid absorption (i.e., 10 h after a meal) in the prerumina...

Ectopic Kidney and Lymph Nodes and Intra-abdominal Testicular Structure in a Freemartin Holstein Friesian Calf

Freemartinism in a 3.5 months-old Holstein Friesian calf was investigated. External examination of the animal revealed the presence of two vulvar openings ventral to the anus. The urine is voided from the lower aperture. Transrectal palpation and ultrasonography revealed an ectopic left kidney in the caudal abdomen. At autopsy, an ectopic left kidney, right unilateral cryptorchidism, left testi...

Calf Scours.

ANIPLAN calf

As a part of ANIPLAN, Norway wanted to look at health and welfare planning for calves in organic dairy production. One reason for this was relevant ongoing activity on calves in Norway. There was also information from earlier projects on welfare assessment (Good animal welfare in organic farming, Animal welfare in Arctic farming) in dairy herds, which showed that calf welfare is a challenge in ...
