A questionnaire, in which 7 cases of udder disease were described, was distributed to 890 veterinarians in Norway. They were requested to classify the cases according to the diagnostic alternatives listed in t...
A standardized-reagents commercial kit for random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis was used for typing 58 Escherichia coli strains that were recovered from the milk of sows, having coliform mastitis, wit...
“Greasy kits” is the result of a multifactorial disease complex with few known definitive aetiological factors. Mastitis has been hypothesized as a triggering factor although classical clinical signs of mastit...
Physical model experiments, as well as simulations of the effects of grenade harpooning on anaesthetized pigs fully immersed in water suggest that the shock effect of the blast from the currently used grenades...
Attempts to eliminate Sarcoptes scabiei var. suis were made in 2 piglet producing herds by intramuscular injections with doramectin (Dectomax™, Pfizer inc., New York, USA). No hygienic measures of the environment...
In a survey in Finland in 1995, 14919 colostral whey samples from 530 farrowing herds were analysed by a monoclonal blocking-ELISA to detect antibodies to Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (M. hyopneumoniae). Antibodies w...
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of reproductive performance on profitability and optimal breeding decisions for Finnish dairy herds. We used a dynamic programming model to optimize dairy ...
The purposes of the study were to determine how “an optimal herd” would be structured with respect to its calving pattern, average herdlife and calving interval, and to evaluate how sensitive the optimal solut...
Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were subjected to vigorous exercise (1.5 body length s−1), low exercise (0.5 body length s−1) or still-water (0.0 body length s−1). Hematocrit, glucose, growth hormone (GH), Co...
Faecal samples from 102 clinically healthy dairy cows, representing 34 farms in the Swedish province of Uppsala, were analysed for the presence of Listeria spp. using an enrichment procedure. Listeria monocytogen...
Five growing pigs experimentally infected with low doses of Oesophagostomum dentation, Ascaris suum, and Trichuris suis were turned out with 5 helminth-naïve pigs on each of 3 pastures in June 1996 (Group 1). On ...
The nematode-trapping fungus Duddingtonia flagrans may be used in biological control of parasitic nematode larvae in faeces of domestic host animals after feeding the hosts with fungal chlamydospores. In this exp...
A study on the prevalence of mycoplasmas in pneumonic bovine lungs was performed on material submitted for diagnostic purposes at the Danish Veterinary Laboratory, Copenhagen. Among the 50 examined cases 43 (8...
The objective of this study was to investigate the associations between different leg weakness symptoms and osteochondrosis/osteoarthrosis and claw disorders in sows together with the influence of age on these...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of leg weakness symptoms measured early in life (at 6 months of age) on the longevity of the sows, i.e. the age at culling due to locomotory problems i...
