Body condition score (BCS) and disease records are commonly available in dairy operations. However, the effect of BCS changes (ΔBCS) considering specific health profiles has not been investigated extensively. The objective this study was to assess effects different levels ΔBCS on fertility, milk yield, survival Holstein cows diagnosed with reproductive disorders (REP; dystocia, twins, retained ...

We report a case of cricoid cartilage fracture with unilateral arytenoid dislocation following a motorcycle accident. This 25 year old male sustained blunt injury to the head, face and neck. He presented late to the hospital with one week history of dysphonia. Laryngoscopy revealed cadaveric position of the non-functioning left vocal cord. CT and MRI showed laterally displaced left vocal cord. ...

Left-sided displacement of the abomasum (LDA) is a common disease in many dairy cattle breeds. A genome-wide screen for QTL for LDA in German Holstein (GH) cows indicated motilin (MLN) as a candidate gene on bovine chromosome 23. Genomic DNA sequence analysis of MLN revealed a total of 32 polymorphisms. All informative polymorphisms used for association analyses in a random sample of 1,136 GH c...

a six years old friesian holestin cow was admitted to the veterinary clinic of shiraz university during.-.the spring. the cow had been anorectic with a reduced milk yield. on physical examination the animal showed increased heart beats and respiratory rate. the rumen was hypomotile and resonance sound was heared on the upper half of intercostal 10th to right flank. distension and displacement o...

In the long term, resilient animals are able to maintain their normal biological processes when confronted with environmental perturbations, reducing risk of being culled. Therefore, longevity can be proposed as an indicator long-term resilience. Decisions remove a given dairy cow from herd mainly related low milk production (i.e., voluntary culling) or reasons other than involuntary culling). ...

BACKGROUND This case report describes the clinical and ultrasonographic findings in a Swiss Braunvieh cow with lymphosarcoma of the abomasum. CASE PRESENTATION The main clinical findings were vomiting in response to eating and melena. The results of serum biochemistry and rumen fluid analysis were indicative of abomasal reflux syndrome. The main ultrasonographic findings were two enlarged lym...

1 of 3 DESCRIPTION A 70-year-old man with mediastinal lymphadenopathy was referred to our centre for endobronchial ultrasound with transbronchial needle aspiration. During the bronchoscopic examination, two separate anatomical bronchial variances were observed: a supernumerary ‘true’ tracheal bronchus branching off from the distal right lateral wall of the trachea ( fi gure 1A ) and a displaced...

We report on a 17-year-old man who underwent open reduction and internal fixation for an inferior dislocation of the right hip and displaced fractures of the right femoral head and neck, and antegrade intramedullary nailing for a displaced fracture of the left femoral shaft. In addition, 13 men and 4 women aged 5 to 56 (mean, 23) years with 16 unilateral and one bilateral inferior dislocation o...
