TREATMENT OF STRANGLES WITH SULPHANILAMIDE
By F. C.MINETT, Imperial Veterinary Research Institute, Mukteswar,
and MAJOR W. P. S. EDWARDS, Indian Military Veterinary Laboratory, Lahore
(Received for publication on 24 July 1944)
(With 39 text-figures)
As part of a plan for the investigation of
strangles in the Army Remount Depots
of Mona and Sargodha in the Punjab, it
was decided to make a systematic trial of
sulphanilamide, leaving an equal number
of controls treated by ordinary methods.
The present paper gives the results so
far obtained and the opportunity is taken
to discuss the whole problem with an eye
to the future. Strangles in young horses
at these depots has always been a major
problem and two papers dealing with the
matter from the epizootiological stand-
point have been published [Minett,
LITERATURE
The history and nature of the sulphona-
mide compounds, their dosage and views
on their mode of action are matters which
have been discussed by a number of
authors and extensive repetition is un-
necessary.
Some of the most recent information
on the causal agent of strangles is fur-
nished by Bazeley and Battle [1940] in
Australia. From 415 cases of serious
and typical equine diseases they isolated
457 strains of hæmolytic streptococci.
All of these belonged to Lancefield's sero-
logical group C, in fact the horse is the
commonest source of these organisms just
as man is the usual source of group A
streptococci and the cow of group B
streptococci. By agglutination, five main
types could be distinguished among the
457 strains while biochemically they fell
into five types: (a) Str. equi, which fer-
mented neither lactose, sorbitol nor
trehalose; (b) 'equine 1' which fermented
sorbitol; (c) 'equine 2' which fermented
trehalose. Types (b) and (c) might or
might not ferment lactose in addition and
they are generally referred to as Str.
pyogenes equi. All the strains isolated
from fresh strangles pus were Str. equi
(agglutinative type 1) and this type was
also associated with some cases of res-
piratory catarrh.
There appears to be no doubt as to the
sensitivity of group C streptococci to
sulphonamide preparations. Stableforth
[1938] reported that sulphanilamide would
protect mice against 100 to 1000 or even
more minimal lethal doses of culture.
Descazeaux, Courtade and Rocq [1939]
in similar tests used a virulent hæmolytic
streptococcus isolated from a strangles
abscess. An 18-hour serum broth culture
of this organism in dose of 0.5 c.c. of 10 -7
dilution intraperitoneally was regularly
fatal in mice. In the tests 0.5 c.c. 10 -4
dilution (i.e. 1000 fatal doses) was used
and this killed nine out of the ten control
mice within 48 hours and the remaining
one within 72 hours. Of 10 mice similarly
inoculated but also given sulphanilamide—
at a dose of 0.01 gm. twice daily for two
days, the first dose being given 30 minutes
before the streptococci—four survived
four or five days, three for six days and
three for more than eight days.
As to the mode of action of sulphona-
mide drugs, there seems no longer any

Treatment of Strangles with Sulphanilamide
One control animal was observed at the
same time as the experimental case, except
that for the three 'larger dose' horses trea-
ted at Sargodha 1940-41 only two suitable
controls were available.
By 'ordinary dose' is meant 1 gm.
sulphanilamide per 10 lb. body weight*
daily for 10 consecutive days, while the
'larger dose' was intended to mean four
doses each of 80 gm. on alternate days.
Had the 'larger' dose programme been
adhered to strictly, it would have meant
giving the animals about half the total
amount of sulphanilamide administered to
those on 'ordinary' doses. Actually, a
few got more and a few less than the
intended dosage (see Results). Dosage
was commenced on the day of admission
to hospital or on the next day. The daily
'ordinary' dose was divided in half, each
half being given morning and evening.
The 0.5 gm. tablets supplied were powder-
ed and suspended in a pint of water and
given by the nasal route by means of a
stomach tube [Bazeley, 1940]. The
'larger' dose was given in the morning
and usually at a single administration,
No other treatment was given to the
experimental cases but in all cases if
abscesses developed they were opened at
the proper time. The controls were
chosen at the same time if possible as the
experimental cases and in making the
selection discrimination was avoided, save
that if anything the experimental one was
the more severe. Body temperatures were
recorded twice daily, morning and even
ing. Body weights were taken on admis-
sion and (usually) on discharge, records
were kept of symptoms and general
condition, and the duration of hospitaliza
tion was noted.

(ii) in control cases
Nos. 8190, 5358, 8148 (Figs. 37 to

NOTE In these cases, the temperature of the
control and its treated comrade were not
dissimilar before the relapse.
NOTE . In all such case as (d), a resumption
of sulphanilamide would be clearly indicated.
(e) Ungrouped cases.
Nos. 8081, 8217, 8175, 8244, 8226
Total 5.
Since it seems that for the purpose of
assessing the influence of sulphanilamide
on the temperature (a) and (d-i) can be
combined, there are 20 cases—all of them
at Mona—where the drug can be said
have had a favourable effect. In one case
(b)—at Sargodha—the drug was without
effect and in 15 cases (c)—eight of then
at Sargodha—the drug may have had a
influence on the body temperature, but
so this was not obvious on comparison
with the control. The results of the
larger series of cases at Mona are thu
rather more promising than those a
Sargodha.
DISCUSSION
We think it must be concluded the
sulphanilamide is of some definite value

Table II shows the average daily milk
yield in lb. and average fat percentage of
different groups of animals during diffe-
rent months of the year.
Reference to Table I shows that during
the period of the trials the body weights
of the animals remained quite normal.
Reference to Table II shows that with one
or two exceptions the milk yields during
the experimental lactation period were
greater than during the previous lactations
(Buffalo No. 2 fell sick on arrival at Lyall-
pur and later on her calf died, hence the
fall in total yield of milk, and buffalo No. 9
was in calf when purchased and ceased
giving milk in the month of May). Two
conclusions may thus immediately be drawn,
namely that neither the body weights of
the animals nor the milk yields suffered.
The first line of attack was to ascertain
the maximum amount of the various types
of cotton seeds which the animals would eat,
and to correlate the figures obtained with
the seven contentions set out above,and to
study the ghee produced from the milk.
Group A was fed K25/289F fuzzy
American cotton seed.
Group B was fed K25/289F delinted
American cotton seed.
Group C was fed desi cotton seed.
During the experimental period all the
animals received the same green fodder and

The above discussion should set at rest
popular objections, and it indicates that
there is no valid reason for the prejudice
which gave rise to the conduct of these
trials. Some people may still opine that the
taking into an animal's digestive tract of
a considerable amount of lint every day
must be deleterious, but they overlook
the fact that the animal's digestive system
deals with it and digests it, and in any
case the experimental animals definitely
did not suffer in any way.
The technical aspects relating to the
ghee produced from the milk may be con-
sidered under two headings:
1. The general impressions formed con-
cerning the ghee produced from the
milk of buffaloes fed on cotton seed by
those who have used it.
2. The scientific data relating to the
composition of the ghee in compari-
son with the standard specifications
laid down by Government.
In regard to the quality of the milk,
ghee and butter produced from the fuzzy
cotton seed fed group, it has not been
possible to distinguish, by consumption,
any difference in taste or palatability
from similar produce made from the milk
of buffaloes fed different rations.
In March 1943, samples of ghee and
butter made from the milk of American

uzzy cotton seed fed animals and desi
eed fed animals respectively were sent
o 20 members of the Committee to
fford them an opportunity to form their
wn opinion. Eight members replied,
and the general consensus of opinion
ummarized in Table V shows that the
thee from the fuzzy cotton seed fed ani-
nals was preferred. The samples were
espatched to certain parts of the country
when the weather was becoming warm
and in some cases the butter did not arrive
n as sound a condition as might have been
hoped for. This was perhaps the result
of faulty packing. The balance of evidence
was in favour of the fuzzy cotton seed.
SCIENTIFIC DATA REGARDING THE GHEES
Table III shows the complete analysis
of the ghee made from the milk of the
respective groups of animals throughout
the year. In March 1943, a composite
sample of ghee made from the milk of
the animals of each of the three groups
was sent to Sir Sorab Saklatvala of the
Tata Oil Mils, Bombay. Their Chemist
found that his Polenske values were
somewhat lower than the corresponding
Lyallpur figures. In this connection it is
interesting to note the correlation which
should exist between the Reichert Meissl
values and the Polenske values as given
on page 379 of Vol. II, Oils and Fats of
Allen's Commercial Organic Analysis and
the corresponding correlations in these
values as seen from the Lyallpur analysis
and the Tata analysis respectively.
The analysis of the ghee sent showed
certain deviations from the Government
specifications, which have been kept within
rigid limits to safeguard the public.
There appeared to be nothing in the ana-
lytical figures to show that the ghee made
from the milk of the fuzzy and naked
cotton seed fed groups of animals depart
from normal to any extent which would
constitute an argument against either.
Summing up, these trials have shown
that the prejudice against fuzzy cotton
seed is unfounded, and the buffaloes fed
on the rations indicated did not suffer
on that account (the animal which died
was a desi cotton seed fed animal) and
neither the quantity nor quality of the
milk or ghee depart from normal to any
extent which could cenceivably be held to
be an objection. This evidence, and the
published record of previous work on cows
with cotton seed and cotton seed cake
should be brought to the notice, in some
authoritative way, of the zamindar com-
munity in India.
The authors wish to take this oppor-
tunity of thanking the Indian Central
Cotton Committee for providing the funds
for this work.
