چکیده
The blood-gas status of seven sheep with experimentally induced heartwater during the acute and terminal stages was investigated. Changes in blood gas included a decline in arterial oxygen tension (pO2) combined with a respiratory alkalosis. Although the sheep became hypoxaemic, blood-gas changes associated with respiratory failure were not observed.

Evaluation of antioxidant status and oxidative stress in sheep experimentally infected with Anaplasma ovis
Anaplasma ovis infections can cause severe anemia in the acute phase of the disease. In order to investigate the alterations of erythrocyte protective antioxidant mechanisms associated with anemia in sheep experimentally infected with A. ovis, 100 ml heparinized blood was collected from splenectomised sheep that showed 6% A. ovis parasitemia. Inoculums of 20 ml blood were administered intraveno...
متن کاملStudies on the presence of endotoxin activity and inflammatory products (leukotrienes) in cases of experimentally induced heartwater in sheep.
The presence of endotoxin was examined in seven sheep with experimentally induced heartwater. Elevations in endotoxin levels were recorded in one sampling in three of the seven sheep during the acute stage of the disease. The elevations in endotoxin levels were of short duration and decreased in the 24-h follow-up samples. There was no elevation of leukotrienes (B4, C4 and D4) in the blood, or ...

متن کاملECG Changes in Acute Experimental Ruminal Lactic Acidosis in Sheep
For induction of ruminal acidosis, 10 clinically healthy three years old non pregnant female sheep were selected. Prior to the infusion of sucrose (0 hour), rumen and blood samples were obtained in order to determine baseline rumen and blood pH, respectively. Electrocardiogram (ECG) was also recorded. Acute ruminal acidosis was induced experimentally with sucrose at a dose of 18g kg-1 body weig...
