Liver abscesses constitute a prominent concern regarding animal health and profitability of the beef industry. Our objective was to evaluate potential biliary and blood indicators of liver abscesses. Twenty-nine beef bulls (initially averaging 356±70.5 kg and 253±30 days of age) were fed a high-concentrate diet during a performance test of 112 days, during which blood was collected at nine time...

Dermal exposures of methanol were administered in a clinical study designed to compare several biological indicators. Four subjects were exposed in five exposure sessions of varying length. In each session, a sequence of measurements of methanol concentrations in blood, breath, and headspace samples of air at exposed and unexposed skin were collected before and after dermal exposures. Skin head...

Two experiments were conducted to measure glucose and lactate absorption and metabolic interrelationships in lambs either switched gradually (experiment 1) or abruptly (experiment 2) from hay to a high concentrate diet. In experiment 1, seven lambs were given primed, continuous, 3-hour infusions of 2-0[3H]glucose, U-[14C]L-lactate and para-aminohippuric acid (portal blood flow indicator) before...

BACKGROUND Blood samples collected in rural and remote areas of Australasia are often exposed to a range of environmental conditions prior to analysis in a laboratory. The aim of this study was to determine analyte stability of venous blood specimens in serum gel tubes exposed to a range of storage temperatures and times prior to centrifugation. METHODS Thirty healthy adult volunteers were en...
