An in vitro test for the adherence of microorganisms to epithelial surfaces was performed in an attempt to illustrate the initial steps in the establishment of infectious endocarditis. Preparations of fresh he...
Feces samples from swine-herds with severe problems of neonatal diarrhoea, 3 weeks scours or early weaning diarrhoea were examined for porcine rotavirus using three techniques: EM, ELISA and CIET. Infection wi...
A method of determining the volumes of synovia in certain articular cavities in the horse is described. The method is based on the degree of dilution of human serum albumin labelled with 125I that is injected int...
Cattle are frequently infected with a persisting intestinal Chlamydia psittaci strain, which through the manure deposit will contaminate their surroundings. The potential of such a strain (ROS) for inducing ma...
Chlamydial complement fixing antibodies were followed in 5 small Finnish dairy herds. All 53 animals in the herds were bled. In herds A, B, C and D the blood samples were collected in May and in the following ...
Lambs born to 5 ewes in 3 successive years were studied for presence of maedi virus and its antibodies. In the middle of the first-year pregnancies the ewes and the only ram of the colony were inoculated with ...
The object of the investigation was to study a number of gilts during their first six heats in respect of duration and external signs of oestrus in relation to ovarian function. The study comprised 11 crossbre...
A combined epidemiology and control investigation was performed with parasite-free calves turned out in May on a permanent pasture naturally contaminated with lungworm larvae the previous year. Before the star...
Comparisons were made of Cortisol concentration and behavioural activity between piglets weaned at 3 weeks of age (early weaned piglets), and piglets weaned at 8 weeks of age (control piglets). Early weaned li...
Herd types of B-str. were determined for 159 herds on the basis of serological typing of 336 quarter-milk isolates. The herds were selected at random within an area with some 25,000 herds, and assumably the re...
During the natural course of bovine mastitis caused by Group-B streptococci loss or gain of the Ibc-protein antigen was demonstrated on examination of isolates from subsequent samplings. Thus, “genuine” Ibc-st...
When occurring together with the polysaccharide III-antigen the X-antigen displayed a phenotypic variation in vitro, and so did 1 R-strain. Genuine X-straims, and other types as well, seemed to remain unaffect...
The effect of boar seminal plasma was tested on the muscular activity of the uterine horns and of the isthmic part of the oviducts in anaesthetized oestrous gilts. The motility was recorded by using balloon-ti...
The main purpose of the present study was to investigate whether boar seminal plasma affects the transport of spermatozoa in the genital tract of oestrous pigs or not, with special reference to the sperm trans...
Twenty-four gilts were inseminated pair-wise with live or dead spermatozoa from the same ejaculate. The insemination dose was 100 ml undiluted semen containing, on average, 19×109 spermatozoa. The gilts were slau...
The distribution of copper and zinc among the soluble proteins in the liver and kidney from chronic copper-poisoned goats was examined after gel filtration of the proteins. The concentrations of copper in the ...
In 74 cases of clinical laminitis and in 10 cases of clinical discrete arthritis in adult cattle, the protein picture was changed in blood and synovial fluid. The cases of laminitis were clinically divided int...
Macro- and microscopical changes in the hooves of 14 cattle having a clinically established diagnosis of laminitis are described, Deviation of the pedal bone was found in 10 of the animals. In acute laminitis,...
Six sheep were equipped with both a rumen fistula and a duodenal cannula. The duodenal cannula was made of two ordinary T shape cannulas which were vulcanized into a double T cannula. Both the rumen and the du...
Three groups of 6 months old lambs, each group consisting of 5 animals, were infected experimentally with Ehrlichia phagocytophila (Ep), Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) and Ep/Lm, respectively. All the animals had...
Three groups of 9 months old lambs, each group consisting of 5 animals, were infected experimentally with Eperythrozoon ovis (Eo), Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) and Eo/Lm, respectively. The animals infected with...
Samples of 51 mink feeds and 101 raw material batches were analysed for pathogenic staphylococci. Of the feed samples 37 % were contaminated with pathogenic staphylococci, the mean count being 3.02 log CFU (co...
Blood samples from 100 minks from a research farm using bacteriologically high quality feed and from 55 minks from another farm supplying bacteriologically inferior feed, as well as from nine minks from Denmar...
The cryoprotection of hen erythrocytes, used as reagent in virus titration, was investigated. The cryoprotective agents tested were neutralized polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and glycerol...
Studies of Pr protein concentrations in sera of sick horses were carried out using Mancini et al.’s (1965) immunodiffusion technique. Relative values against a chosen standard of 100 % were determined for a total...
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the growth precipitation (GP) test for routine identification. The test was performed as described by Heitmann & Kirchhoff (1978) which is a modification of the method of
The hypocalcaemia caused by parturition and onset of lactation in high-production dairy cows was mimicked by subjecting cows to starvation periods before and after partus. The changes in plasma calcium, phosph...
The activity and relative distribution of eight clinically important enzymes were measured in nine different organs in 10 healthy minks. Of the enzymes studied, OCT, ASAT and ALAT had higher absolute activitie...
