This plant can cause toxic pneumopathy there is only one report of the natural form experimental State Rio Grande do Sul. study aimed to an outbreak respiratory poisoning T. sheep. Six sheep developed clinical signs after consumption four them died two rec...

In two separate experiments, test sheep were inoculated with a mixture of four genetically modified strains of Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens, which attained a combined population level of 1 06-10’ cells per ml in each animal. The bacteria had been modified to express the enzyme fluoroacetate dehalogenase. Uninoculated sheep were used as controls. Experiment I included two Merino/ Border Leicester c...

In this study, 640 cattle and 742 sheep slaughtered at twelve abattoirs in Thrace were investigated for hydatid cysts. The infection rate of hydatidosis was 11.6% in cattle and 3.50% in sheep. The cysts were found in 3.15% of 127 calves ( < 1 year old), in 13.6% of 513 cattle (between 1-10 years old), in 2.64% of 720 lambs ( < 1 year old) and in 31.8% of 22 sheep (between 1-6 years old). The in...

Sheep pox and goat pox are viral diseases of sheep and goats characterised by fever, generalised papules or nodules, vesicles (rarely), internal lesions (particularly in the lungs), and death. Both diseases are caused by strains of capripoxvirus, all of which can infect sheep and goats. Although most of the strains examined cause more severe clinical disease in either sheep or goats, some strai...

This experiment was carried out on 8 ha of Panicum maximum cv. Tanzania pastures, with rotational grazing consisting of 7 days of occupation and 21 days of rest. Four treatments were evaluated: cattle grazing alone (BOV), sheep grazing alone (OVI), cattle and sheep grazing simultaneously (SIM) and cattle grazing followed by sheep (alternate - ALT). Twenty heifers and 30 male Santa Inês lambs we...

1. Certain digestive and metabolic criteria were examined in mature wethers before and following (1) a simple exploratory laporotomy (two sheep), (2) establishment of a rumen cannula plus simple ('T'-shaped) cannulas in the duodenum and ileum (six sheep), (3) establishment of a rumen cannula plus two cannulas in the caecum (four sheep), (4) establishment of a rumen cannula plus re-entrant cannu...

SUMMARY In this study, Coxiella burnetii seroprevalence was assessed for dairy and non-dairy sheep farm residents in The Netherlands for 2009-2010. Risk factors for seropositivity were identified for non-dairy sheep farm residents. Participants completed farm-based and individual questionnaires. In addition, participants were tested for IgG and IgM C. burnetii antibodies using immunofluorescent...

We researched the spread of Brucella ovis (B. ovis) infection in sheep during 2002 and 2003 in Croatia. A total of 30,635 sheep blood samples were examined using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). In 2002, 1014 out of 14,404 examined sheep blood samples (7%) from six counties gave positive reactions while 2060 (14.3%) were found suspicious. In 2003, 638 out of 16,221 examined sheep ...

An attenuated live bluetongue virus (AL-BTV) serotype 8 vaccine of South African origin was evaluated for its ability to protect sheep against challenge with a European BTV-8 isolated from an outbreak. Two groups of sero-negative sheep were vaccinated with either a single or booster vaccination and challenged subcutaneously 28 days following vaccination. Groups of vaccinated challenged sheep sh...

We attempted an oral rush desensitization with mixed cow and sheep milk in a 6-year-old boy who had had adverse reactions to cow and goat milks. Skin prick tests and specific immunoglobulin (Ig) E to cow, sheep and goat milks were positive. The double-blind, placebo-controlled food challenge with cow milk was positive too. He underwent a 12-day sublingual-oral desensitization treatment with mix...
