evaluation of gastric emptying rate using nuclear scintigraphy as the gold standard method has been studied in various animals, but there is no report in suckling lambs. the aim of this study was to develop a nuclear scintigraphic method to visualize and measure abomasal emptying rate by estimation of scintigraphic half emptying time (t1/2) in the live neonatal lamb. five healthy, female irania...

a comparative study on the effect of erythromycin and ivermectin on abomasal emptying in holstein-friesian calves motilides namely erythromycin have a great ability to increase abomasal emptying rate. the aim of this study was to evaluate the abomasal emptying rate in calves receiving either erythromycin or ivermectin. five male holstein-friesian calves were given each of the following 4 treatm...

The journal article titled “Effect of Preoperative Erythromycin or Dexamethasone/Vitamin C on Postoperative Abomasal Emptying Rate in Dairy Cows Undergoing Surgical Correction of Abomasal Volvulus” and written by Dr Thomas Wittek, Kataj Tischles, Imke Korner, Dr Tatjana Sattler, Dr Peter Constable, and Dr Manfred Furll may be relevant to practicing veterinarians in dairy practice. The paper con...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of orally administered cisapride, bethanechol, and erythromycin on the absorption of colostral IgG in dairy calves. ANIMALS Twenty-four healthy neonatal Holstein-Friesian calves. PROCEDURES Calves were randomly assigned to one of the following treatments: 0.9% NaCl solution (2 mL, p.o.; negative control); erythromycin lactobionate (20 mg/kg BW, p.o.; anticip...

OBJECTIVE To determine the effects of 3 commercially available, orally administered electrolyte solutions (OAEs) on abomasal luminal pH and emptying rate in dairy calves, compared with the effect of orally administered milk replacer. DESIGN Randomized crossover study. ANIMALS 6 male dairy calves (age, 12 to 31 days). PROCEDURES Calves were surgically instrumented with an abomasal cannula ...
