Atresia Coli Inherited in Holstein Cattle1
نویسنده
چکیده
A mating pIan was designed to test the genetic hypothesis that atresia coli is inherited as an autosomal recessive at a single locus with two alleles. Matings between 8 putative carrier sires and 56 putative carrier dams resulted in 59 normal and 8 atresia coli calves, which was not different from the expected number of 8.1 affected calves. One case of atresia coli was observed among 628 calves born concurrently in the herd. All of the affected calves born from planned and contemporary matings were inbred. and their dominance relationships with each other were greater than zero, which is complementary evidence of pairs of alleles in common among affected calves. In planned matings. 7 of the 39 pregnancies diagnosed during the first 40 d of gestation of putative carriers produced affected calves. In contemporary matings. fO[' pregnancies diagnosed before d 41 of gestation. there were 1 affected and 295 normal calves. Atresia coli in Holstein calves was associated with putative carrier parents. Retrospective analysis of early pregnancy diagnosis in dams was inconclusive in evaluating the role of palpation on atresia coli in genetically predisposed calves. (

متن کاملolecular basis of cholestatic diseases of surgical
Cholestasis constitutes one of the most common and severe manifestations of acquired or inherited liver disease. When manifest in early infancy, it is often life-threatening and usually requires surgical management. In many cases, liver transplantation is the only effective therapy. Extensive knowledge about the molecular mechanisms underlying several pediatric cholestatic disorders has been ga...
متن کاملAtresia Coli in an Arabian Foal
Atresia coli is a congenital defect that result in an inability to pass feces since birth. In the present study, type IIIa atresia coli (blind ends) was identified in a male Arabian foal with clinical signs of abdominal distension, colic, failure in defecation and depression. At necropsy, segmental agenesis affected left ventral and right dorsal colon. The dorsal right colons, transverse, small...
متن کاملAtresia coli in a Japanese black calf diagnosed by a barium sulphate enema contrast radiograph in the standing position: a case report
A three day-old Japanese black calf was admitted with a history of abdominal distension and absence of defecation. Dilated loops of the small intestine and hypoplasia of the colon and rectum was observed upon a contrast radiographic examination in the standing position. At necropsy atresia coli with undeveloped rectum and patent anal opening was found. We conclude that a contrast radiograph in ...
