Laboratory findings associated with abomasal ulcers/tympany in range calves.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The etiology of abomasal ulcers/tympany was investigated in 48 animals from 36 ranches in Wyoming and Nebraska. Results indicate that subclinical trace mineral deficiencies of copper and/or selenium exist in the range cattle in west central Nebraska and Wyoming. Etiological agents most frequently incriminated by bacteriologic cultures and/or histopathic examination were Clostridium perfringens and Campylobacter species. Histopathologic evaluation of abomasums revealed 31 of 38 cases contained abundant gram-positive bacteria associated with the damaged abomasal mucosa. Campylobacter-like organisms were demonstrated in 9 of 38 cases using the modified Dieterle stain. Clostridium perfringens was isolated in 14 of 38 cases, and Campylobacter jejuni was recovered from 5 of 38 cases.

A Review of Abomasal Ulcers in Beef Calves
Abomasal ulcers are an economic concern for the calf raising industries. Many factors have been attributed to the development of ulcers, such as coarse feed, environmental stress, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and bacterial infections. However, unlike human ulcers no one factor has been proven to have a significant relationship to abomasal ulcers in calves. Therefore, management of this dis...

To evaluate the serum concentrations of haptoglobin (Hp) and serum amyloid A (SAA) in water buffaloes with abomasal ulcers, the abomasums of 100 randomly selected water buffaloes were examined after slaughter. Type I abomasal ulcers were found in 56 out of 100 buffaloes. Serum concentrations of Hp and SAA were measured. There was no significant difference between affected and non-affected buffa...
