Persistence of maternal antibodies in calves born of combined foot-and-mouth disease + haemorrhagic septicaemia vaccinated buffaloes at organized dairy farm

Immunization of Cattle and Buffaloes With a Combined Anthrax, Haemorrhagic septicaemia and Blackleg Vaccine in Iran

Haemorrhagic septicaemia in cattle and buffaloes*

Haemorrhagic septicaemia (HS) is a highly fatal disease in cattle and buffaloes, caused by specific serotypes of Pasteurella mul tocida. It is a primary pasteurellosis reproducible in susceptible animals with the specific organism alone. The accepted classification of Pasteurella multocida is based on the identification of its somatic and capsu­ lar antigens. On this basis two serotypes designa...

Organic Circulation and persistence of Foot – and – Mouth disease virus type O in guinea pig

Since, the most susceptible laboratory animal to Foot–and–Mouth disease virus (FMDV) is guinea pig, and then one milliliter of FMDV type (O) concentrations of 106-106.5 TCID50was inoculated intradermally (ID) to 10 plantar surface of guinea pig (right side). Guinea pig adapted virus has been prepared after generalization phase, and then one milliliter of virus was inoculated intradermally to 30...

Comparative immunogenecity of foot and mouth disease virus antigens in FMD-haemorrhagic septicaemia combined vaccine and FMD vaccine alone in buffalo calves.

Humoral immune response was evaluated by monitoring the serum antibody titres and virus specific IgM titres against Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) virus antigens in serum samples obtained from different groups of calves inoculated with combined vaccine or FMD vaccine alone, on 0, 7, 14, 21, 28, 42 and 56 days post-vaccination (DPV). The cellular immune response was monitored by MTT based lymphopr...

Breeding efficiency of crossbred cattle and Murrah buffaloes at organized dairy farm

A total of 1474 and 1935 production and reproduction records of crossbred cattle and Murrah buffaloes from the year 1992 to 2012 were utilized in the present study to investigate breeding efficiency (BE) and various performance traits. Breeding efficiency was calculated using Wilcox and Tomar methods and Least –squares of Harvey model was used to study the effects of various non-genetic factors...
