STUDY OF THE INFLUENCE OF COMPLEX MINING AND GEOLOGICAL CONDITIONS ON OPERATION TRANSIT PIPELINES
Authors: Tarayevskiy O.
Published: July 2020

On the basis of the system approach and analysis of the conditions of operation of transit main gas pipelines, analytical studies of the stresses occurring on the internal surface of the gas pipeline under the conditions of the obverse and reverse operation modes have been carried out. The method of determination (prognostication) of durability of long exploited pipelines, operated in complex mining and geological conditions was proposed. It was shown that during such exploitation of gas pipelines non-project modes are being found that require a detailed analysis of the use of their production capacities, and as a result it has been established that the study section in such conditions. The technique for determining the permissible level of arbitrarily oriented stresses acting on the investigated section of a gas pipeline with a complex technological structure and laid on a section with a disturbed equilibrium of the Earth is developed. It has been proved that the cyclic operation of pipelines and their structural elements in difficult geological conditions leads to an abnormally high background tension, which leads to a decrease in their predicted lifetime. It is proposed to carry out operational control of the stressed-deformed state of pipeline sections laid in complex mining and geological conditions and which have complex technological features. The principle of optimization of gas transportation by pipelines, passing in one technological corridor on the criterion of minimum negative impact on the environment was improved. The technique of determining the potential impact radius, which simultaneously takes into account the mode of operation of the gas pipeline, its actual technical condition, as well as the parameters of abnormal areas with disturbed equilibrium of the earth, was proposed. The developed method allows determining the necessary security zone on each individual site, in particular, to substantially reduce or increase it in relation to existing real conditions. In order to design new gas pipelines, there will be no pipelines in the same technological corridor, and for existing pipelines operated in the same technological corridor, it will be possible to reduce the impact of the emergency situation or even make it impossible because of optimal loading of the gas pipelines. The expediency of carrying out such experiments and the results obtained will allow to prevent accidents and failures of gas pipelines that lies in complex mining and geological conditions, to ensure their reliability during long service life as well.

BEST PRACTICES OF ASSESSMENT AS A WAY TO PROMOTE EFFECTIVE LEARNING
Authors: Rodić Dušica D.
Published: July 2020

The conceptual understanding presents a key component of science expertise, and thus the most desirable outcome of science education process. However, reports in the literature describe the opposite reality. There is an evidence that students are prone to use algorithms, to memorize rules, definitions and procedural steps, that is, to use efficient heuristics that allow them to skip logical reasoning for reaching an immediate goal (Dori & Hameiri, 2003; Hammer, 1994; Nyachwaya, Warfa, Roehrig, & Schneider, 2014). The questions arise:
(i) How the assessment tools themselves contribute to this phenomenon?
(ii) Can we encourage the development of logical reasoning among students by applying various assessment tools?

Published: July 2020

La transitabilidad posee una relación directa con el entorno construido, logrando beneficiar o perjudicar la vitalidad del tejido urbano, donde el flujo de peatones representa su principal éxito, disminuyendo el uso de vehículos y encaminándonos a una ciudad sostenible. Este estudio busca un análisis cuantitativo y cualitativo del flujo de peatones a través de los espacios de transición, tomando como caso los predios de la estación Vía Argentina del Metro de Panamá en la cual se emplaza el edificio Piex; implementando una metodología directa, compuesta por dos tipos de mediciones: la medición objetiva (grabación) en dos horarios distintos (12:00 a 1:00 p. m.  y 5:00 p. m. a 6:00 p. m.) y la subjetiva (encuesta). El mapeo del trayecto de los peatones en el área de estudio muestra patrones significativamente distintos entre cada uno de los dos horarios estudiados. En el horario de 12:00 p. m. a 1:00 p. m. muchos peatones usan las aceras próximas a los edificios mientras que en el horario de la tarde, de 5:00 p.m. a 6:00 p. m, emplean más la acera paralela a la Vía España. Tomando en cuenta que según los resultados de la encuesta realizada en el horario de 12:00m. a 1:00 p. m. los peatones prefieren transitar por el área techada producida por los edificios, y realizan una caminata utilitaria, ya que  se ven motivados a trasladarse por estudios y trabajo.

This article aims to take photos and browse in critical problems of democracy and transparency of the Kebangkitan Bangsa Party in the recruitment of candidates in the 2019 elections. The recruitment process in political parties includes three stages, namely certification, nomination, and election. Through qualitative research with analytical-critical description method, this paper argues that the mechanism of political recruitment in the Kebangkitan Bangsa Party through an undemocratic and untransparent process, where prospective legislative candidates who register to become prospective legislative candidates only submit registration forms and various completeness of the other files and henceforth the prospective candidates are only waiting for the process of determining the serial number of candidate by the leadership of political parties. In addition, the position number is determined without going through the readiness and competency test mechanism of the candidates.

Published: July 2020

Background/Aims: Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is used as an alternative ablative treatment in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) not suitable for curative treatments. The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the long-term efficacy of SBRT for small (≤5 cm) HCCs.Methods: A phase II, single-arm clinical trial on SBRT for small HCCs was conducted at an academic tertiary care center. The planned SBRT dose was 45 Gy with a fraction size of 15-Gy over 3 consecutive days. The primary endpoint was 2-year local control rate. Radiologic responses were assessed according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST, version 1.1) and the modified RECIST criteria.Results: Between 2013 and 2016, 50 patients (53 lesions) were enrolled, with a median follow-up period of 47.8 months (range, 2.9–70.6). Patients’ age ranged from 41 to 74 years, and 80% were male. Median tumor size was 1.3 cm (range, 0.7–3.1). The 2- and 5-year local control rates were 100% and 97.1%, respectively. The 5-year overall survival rate was 77.6%. Six months after SBRT, radiologic responses were evident in 44 lesions (83%) according to the RECIST criteria and 49 (92.4%) according to the modified RECIST criteria. None of the patients showed grade ≥3 adverse events.Conclusions: SBRT showed excellent results as an ablative treatment for patients with small HCCs while showing minimal toxicities. SBRT can be a good alternative for both curative and salvage intents in patients with HCCs that are unsuitable for curative treatments.
GRAZING STUDIES FOR GRASSLAND SHEEP SYSTEMS AT THE HILL FARMING RESEARCH ORGANISATION, U.K.
Authors: Hodgson J. , Maxwell T.J.
Published: July 2020

Studies in the UK on continuously stocked swards dominated by perennial ryegrass show that both net herbage production and lamb output per hectare are maximised when herbage mass is maintained at 1200-I 500 kg OM/ha (3-5 cm surface height) during the main season of growth. The use of this information to define sward management objectives is outlined, and the incorporation of these objectives into the spring and summer phases of a grassland sheep enterprise is illustrated
PASTURE RESPONSES TO GRAZING MANAGEMENT IN HILL COUNTRY
Authors: Chapman D.F. , Clark D.A.
Published: July 2020

Components of growth and defoliation of perennial ryagrass and browntop tillers and white clover stolen apices ware measured for 12 months in hill pastures set stocked (SS) or rotationally grazed (RG) with sheep. Leaf appearance intervals of the grasses were unaffected by grazing management. Tiller densities were greater under SS (annual mean 29,700 total tillers/m' cf. 20,100/m* under FIG), compensating for greater leaf extension rates and lamina lengths of individual tillers under RG. White clover leaf appearance intervals were similar under both managements except in summer when RG was superior to SS during 3 grazing rotations. Defoliation of grass tillers was more frequent under SS when rotation lengths exceeded 3 weeks, but more severe (in terms of leaf length removed) under RG throughout the year. These mechanisms, combined with tiller density differences.contributed to the likelihood of equal leaf removal per unit area under both managements. Some advantage to RG in ryegrass leaf growth and total leaf removal was indicated but the differences were small and unlikely to affect animal production. White clover leaf removal was similar under both managements. Grazed swards are dynamic and can change rapidly under different grazing managements; however, at acceptable levels of pasture utilisation, the dominant responSes appear to maintain an equilibrium in leaf growth. Thus the use of other procedures, e.g. fertiliser application and increases in stocking rate, in conjunction with management changes is required to substantially alter pasture and animal production. Keywords: hill country, grazing management, pasture productivity, perennial ryegrass, browntop, white clover, leaf growth, tiller density, defoliation frequency, defoliation severity.
GORSE CONTROL WITH GOATS
Authors: Radcliffe J.E.
Published: July 2020

A grazing management trial in North Canterbury. compares the effects on burnt gorse, of goats or sheep grazed alone, or in mixtures with two goats equivalent to one sheep, with either rotational grazing or set stocking. Also, sheep alone are mob stocked on burnt gorse, and goats alone, set stocked on unburnt gorse. Goats alone at stocking rates up to 35/ha and a sheep/goat mixture which is rotationally grazed, have reduced gorse to negligible proportions after two years, although relatively few burnt gorse stumps have yet died. Gorse control has been less successful where a sheep/goat mixture has been set stocked or where sheep have been mob stocked at 2001ha. The least effective treatments have been sheep either set stocked or rotationally grazed at up to 17,5/ha. Stands of dense unburnt gorse up to 2m high were reduced from 66% gorse cover to 7% using 44 goats/ha set stocked for one year. Stocking rates of up to IO goats/ha had little effect on land with 50% gorse cover, but 30 goats/ha reduced gorse to 5% cover in the subsequent year. The persistence of five grass species ('Grasslands Nui' perennial ryegrass, 'Grasslands Wana' and 'Grasslands Apanui'cocksfoot, 'Massey Basyn' Yorkshire fog and browntop) and their abilities to suppress gorse, were compared under rotational and set stocked goat managements. After two years, there were no significant differences among grasses under rotational grazing, but browntop had become significantly moresuccessful than Apanui cocksfoot, under set stocking. Gorse cover was-=&% in all grass species treatments, including the unsown control plots, with no significant differences between set stocking and rotational grazing. Keywords: Gorse, goats, sheep, grazing management, ryegrass, cocksfoot, Yorkshire fog, browntop.
FARMING RED DEER ON A MIXED CROPPING UNIT
Authors: Steven J.A.
Published: July 2020

In early 1970 the few pioneer deer farmers were being watched while they learnt the techniques of domesticating the wild deer. Deer farmers are still being watched though most are not now pioneers. The systems have been studied, learnt and basically understood. The last 10 years have seen rapid growth in numbers of farmers involved and animals kept. Local Mid and South Canterbury figures have increased dramatically (Table 1). Nationally 2,000 (plus) operators farm 200-250 thousand deer. Does that have 38,000 farmers still not involved? To those early into the business have come the financial rewards they deserve. For them, there was little information from research, less from advisory services and much sceptiscim from financiers and fellow farmers. Fortunately this has changed. Many MAF personnel, veterinarians, researchers and stock and station people are well qualified to assist the potential deer farmer
MANAGEMENT INFLUENCES ON SHEEP BEHAVIOUR, DUNG DISTRIBUTION AND SOIL PHOSPHATE
Authors: Thorrold B.S. , O'Connor K.F. , White J.G.H.
Published: July 2020

The behaviour of Merino wether hoggets grazing an existing management experiment at Tara Hills High Country Research Station was studied during summer 198111982. The experiment compared three stocking rates and three management systems (continuous, two paddock intermittent grazing, six paddock rotational). The daytime distribution and activity of the hoggets, dung distribution, and Olsen-P levels of topsoils were recorded on ten altitudinal strata within each of the nine treatment areas. Dung frequency was more closely correlated to grazing distribution than to either resting or total animal distribution. This is contrary to the generally accepted belief that dung accumulation is associated with resting behaviour. Increasing stocking ra?e !ed ?o a more even grazing and dung distribution. Subdivision by itself did not improve the evenness of distribution although it may have enhanced the stocking rate influence. There was little correlation between dung frequency and soil Olsen- P levels, especially outside the night camp areas. This indicates the importance of factors such as plant uptake and herbage consumption in the phosphate nutrient cycle. Olsen-P levels were consistently higher in the high stocking rate paddocks relative to the low stocking rate. Levels in the medium stocking rate fluctuated between these two. The implications of these findings in regard to the effects of intensification of farming in the high country on nutrient cycling and fertiliser requirements are discussed. Keywords: animal behaviour, dung distribution, tussock grasslands, phosphate, grazing management.
LEACHING OF NITRATE FROM SHEEP-GRAZED PASTURES
Authors: Field T.R.O. , Ball P.Roger , Theobald P.W.
Published: July 2020

An indirect method has been used to estimate losses of nitrate nitrogen from sheep-grazed pastures on a free-draining soil. The drainage component of a soil water balance was assumed to move nitrate, at the concentration of the soil solution between 30 and 45 cm depth, to below the zone of uptake by plants. Losses of between 60 and 80 kg N/ha were calculated to be leached from control ryegrass-clover pastures in each of the winter drainage seasons studied. More than 85% was lost by early August, even though 40% of drainage occurred after this date. Extra leaching losses in the first season appeared to account for the equivalent of 45% of either the 110 or 450 kg N/ha added in the two fertiliser N treatments. In the second season losses were less than 25%. Removal of clovers from the sward reduced leaching estimates to little more than half those below the control pasture. Estimates confirm the large size of leaching losses under intensive grazing. These have implications for agricultural production and groundwater quality. Keywords: Leaching, nitrate, sheep-grazed, pastures, fertiliser, nitrogen, clover-free, water balance, drainage
TALL FESCUE FOR FINISHING LAMBS AND FLUSHING EWES IN HAWKES BAY
Authors: Wright D.F. , Slay M.W.A. , Hamilton G.J. , Paterson D.J.
Published: July 2020

Because of the many problems experienced in Hawkes Bay with traditional ryegrass pastures - drought, grass grub, stem weevil, ryegrass staggers - a research programme to evaluate tall fescue was initiated. Four short term trials have compared the nutritive value for sheep of two tall fescue cultivars (Roa and Demeter) with Nui ryegrass, all sown with white clover. All pasture types had similar quality for finishing lambs, although regrowth after a silage cut was better than previously grazed pastures, especia!!y for Nui. In the droughts of 1982 and 1983, tall fescue pastures were superior to those of Nui in both quantity and quality of feed for ewes prior to mating. This advantage resulted in an average of 18 more lambs being born per 100 ewes mated. Provided it persists, continues to produce well, and does not cause serious animal health problems under intensive sheep grazing, these results show that tall fescue should have an important role to play in Hawkes Bay and similar environments. Keywords: tall fescue, perennial ryegrass, lamb production, ewe production.
SEASONAL VARIATION IN THE VERTICAL DISTRIBUTION OF WHITE CLOVER (Trifolium repens L.) STOLONS IN TWO CONTRASTING PASTURES
Authors: Hay M.J.M.
Published: July 2020

Swards under rotational grazing by cattle (RGC) and under set stocking by sheep (SSS) were sampled every 2 months for 3 years, and white clover stolon dissected into 3 vertical classes; aerial, surface and buried. Despite large differences in yearly herbage production, sward structure, white clover content, total stolon weight and proportioning of stolon among the vertical classes between the sites, the greatest differences in distribution of stolon among the vertical classes were associated with month of sampling and this was consistent among years at both sites. These results indicate that over a 3-year period, in both swards studied, the white clover component underwent an annual cycle of burial of stolons in winter, re-emergence of growing points in spring and surface stolon development over summer. Keywords: white clover, Trifolium repens, stolons, vertical distribution, seasonal variation.
A MIXED CROP STOCK FARMLET ON A ROSTERED WATER SUPPLY
Authors: Stoker R. , Janson C.G.
Published: July 2020

The on-farm water supply on the Mid Canterbury irrigation schemes of 230 litre/sec for one day per week for every 80 hectares of farm area has traditionally been considered capable or irrigating only about one half or two thirds of the total farm area. Many farmers have border dyked about this proportion of their farms leaving the remainder dryland. In 1978 a farmlet with the whole area prepared for irrigation but still subject to the normal limitations of the rostered water supply was set up at Winchmore. Half of the area is in cash crop. Through a careful selection of crops and sowing dates each crop can be irrigated for maximum yield without exceeding the water allocation. On the remainder of the farmlet half the area is in grass clover pasture and half in lucerne. The water supply permits this to be irrigated at four weekly intervais or more frequently before and after the period of crop irrigation. Crop production on the farmlet has only been average. For instance wheat and barely have generally yielded between 3.5 and 5 tonnes per hectare. Soil moisture monitoring suggests that limitations have not been imposed by the irrigation regime itself but by such factors as late sowing the crop or undersowing with pasture. Over the three year stand life herbage production has averaged over 11000 kg/ha with annual yield of lucerne exceeding that of grass/clover pasture in the first season ex crop. Stocking rates between 13 and 15 ewes/ha measured over the whole farm area or 26-301ha on spring grazing area have been adopted with large variations in production. With recent changes in the relative economics of sheep and cropping it has been decided to increase the emphasis on the crop aspect of the farmlet. The cropping area has been increased to twothirds. The farmlet is still run under the limitations of the rostered water supply but water may now be transferred from the herbage to crop at critical times. At the expense of small losses in herbage production crop yields will be increased substantially by eliminating such practices as late sowing dates and undersowing. Keywords: Irrigation, roster, crop, stock.
GRAZING INTENSITY AND SOIL NITROGEN ACCUMULATION
Authors: Hoglund J.H.
Published: July 2020

The balance between the litter and animal excreta pathways was varied by imposing a range of sheep grazing intensities on a dryland ryegrass-white clover pasture for 3 years. In contrast to laxly grazed treatments, hard grazed treatments lost soil carbon and nitrogen. Greatest overall losses occurred in the driest year, and lowest losses occurred in years of greatest pasture growth. The importance of allowing some litter cycling, by avoiding continual hard grazing is discussed. Keywords: N-fixation, soil nitrogen, grazing, carbon, balance, litter, pasture.

Subdivision is one of the widest used and least researched inputs on livestock farms in New Zealand. Benefits accruing from subdivision in the pasture development stages can be high, however once pastures are developed gams from additional levels may be small. Costs of subdivision have been calculated and are influenced by the size of the property, the number of paddocks and the type of fencing chosen. Keywords: subdivision, pasture development, fencing costs
SWEET BRIER CONTROL WITH GOATS
Authors: Holgate G.L. , Weir D.A.
Published: July 2020

A grazing trial in Central Otago compared the effectiveness of feral goats, Angora goats and Merino sheep for sweet brier control. The three animal types were set stocked in replicate 0.5 ha paddocks at 10 Angoras, 14 ferals and 12 Merinos per ha. Goats were also rotationally grazed on a 50 ha block at approximately 10 goats per ha. Goat grazing reduced living brier in the trial paddocks to negligible proportions within 2 years whilst sheep grazing had minimal impact. Goat grazing resulted in increased clover content within the sward in trial paddocks. A reduction in brier density was also recorded on the 50 ha block. Keywords: Angoras, Merinos, white clover

Глобальний капіталізм vs традиційна культура: гроші у дискурсі зарубіжної культурної антропології
Authors: Tkhorzhevska Tetiana , Bohuslavska Yulia
Published: July 2020

У статті подано огляд теорій зарубіжних антропологів щодо місця праці та грошей у трансформаційних суспільних процесах. Простежено переважання уявлень про гроші як руйнівну силу, що нищить традиційні культури та ринкові відносини, які повністю змінюють ставлення до праці та грошей, підміняючи моральні норми утилітарною користю. Зазначено наявність альтернативних точок зору на мотивацію праці та можливість мирного співіснування глобального та традиційного у ставленні до грошей. Підкреслюється, що у сучасних дослідженнях співіснують обидва підходи.

Published: July 2020

The biofortification of food crops for human consumption is a direct strategy for increasing dietary intake of selenium (Se). The aims of this study were the evaluation of different Se-fortification variables (concentration and number of foliar applications) for obtainment of fortified olives and the efficacy of two technological treatments (brining and dehydration) applied to them in the maintenance of this element. The research was carried out in two experiments: the results of first one were that the application of the highest Se concentration (75 mL L−1) on olive trees was useful to obtain fortified Gordal olives (650 µg kg−1) but the further brining process did not allow an acceptable retention of this nutrient in olive pulp for its dissolution in brines: the decrease was from 92 to 99%. The second experiment concerned in different number of foliar applications of the best previously tested Se-solution (75 mL·L−1) to obtain fortified Carolea olives, that were then submitted to different drying processes to became edible. The available selenium in the final products was better retained in olives dried without any preliminary treatment prior to drying and in those pre-treated by dried salt, with different trends linked to foliar application number.

An increased understanding of the turkey sector and how farmers manage flocks can help maintain and improve the health and welfare of turkeys. We conducted a cross-sectional survey among turkey farmers in Canada to gain information regarding general farm characteristics, housing aspects (incl. lighting, ventilation), litter management, feed and water management, flock characteristics, and flock health management. The survey was distributed to 500 farmers through the Turkey Farmers of Canada in April–December 2019. A total of 83 final responses (response rate approx. 20%) were used for a descriptive analysis to determine the frequency of housing and management practices (77 commercial flocks, 6 breeder flocks). Hen flocks (n = 53) had a median age of eight weeks (IQR: 7–12 weeks) and tom flocks (n = 30) had a median age of 12 weeks (IQR: 9–14 weeks). Turkey flocks within Canada are typically kept in indoor barn systems on a concrete floor (87.5%), with bedding (e.g., straw, wood shavings) provided (100%). The majority followed a brood and move growing system (68.8%), and a large proportion of farmers indicated that they raised turkeys under the ‘Raised Without Antibiotics/Antibiotic Free’ or the ‘Responsible Use of Antibiotics’ certification (70.5%). Possible room for improvement could be found in terms of litter management and biosecurity practices, however, further research is needed to make clear recommendations.

The U.S. pet population is increasing, but access to veterinary care continues to be a concern. One method of alleviating barriers that prevent access to care is the presence of pet health insurance for a pet. Dog owners were surveyed to see the impact of pet health insurance on dog owners’ visits and expenditures at the veterinarian. Using several models, it was found that pet health insurance had a significant and positive impact on the amount spent at the veterinarian. Other dog and dog owner characteristics were found significant in impacting expenditures and visits at the veterinarian. Findings from this study can help address the accessibility issue facing Americans across the country in obtaining affordable pet care. This research is the first which seeks to identify the driving factors behind dog owners’ choices regarding health care for their dogs.

Fin condition is a simple indicator of fish welfare, which anticipates detrimental effects on fish in aquaculture systems. This study evaluated the fin condition of Salmo salar at different abundances of the parasite Caligus rogercresseyi. Fish were exposed to infestation with copepodids and the cohort was allowed to develop to the adult stage. The relative fin index was measured. Significant differences between infested and control fish for both pectoral and anal fins were observed. Moreover, there were significant negative relationships between fin condition and parasite abundances for pectoral, anal, and pelvic fins, suggesting that infestations with C. rogercresseyi could be a possible cause for fin damage in Atlantic salmon. Moreover, this damage was associated with increased stress levels, suggesting that damage can be related to physiological changes on infested fish. According to these results, pectoral fin assessments have the potential to provide information on the welfare of fish with C. rogercresseyi infestation. Determining the causes of poor fin development may improve fish welfare, even when infested by parasites.

Gurltia paralysans is an angio-neurotropic metastrongyloid nematode that infects domestic and wild cats, invading the veins of the subarachnoid space of the spinal cord and mainly causing progressive paralysis of the pelvic limbs. The definitive diagnosis of feline gurltiosis can only be achieved by post-mortem examination that reveals the presence of the nematode in the spinal cord vein vasculature. An early diagnosis with conclusive results is required since laboratory and imaging findings are not sufficient. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to detect the presence of G. paralysans, via semi-nested PCR, in samples of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and the sera of domestic cats naturally infected with the parasite. A total of 12 cats with a diagnosis suggestive of feline gurltiosis were selected, and they underwent a complete neurological and imaging examination. DNA samples were analysed by semi-nested PCR, with universal (AaGp28Sa1/AaGp28Ss1) and specific (Gp28Sa3/Aa28Ss2) primers, for G. paralysans (G. paralysans 18S rRNA gene, partial sequence; ITS 1, 5.8S rRNA gene, and ITS 2, complete sequence; and 28S rRNA gene, partial sequence) and Aelurostrongylus abstrusus, obtaining amplifications of 356 and 300 bp, which indicated the presence or absence of nematode DNA, respectively. The presence of G. paralysans was detected in the CSF of four out of nine cats, and the sera of seven out of seven cats. In the sera analysis of five out of seven cats, a mixed infection with A. abstrusus was found, despite no alterations of the respiratory tract being observed during the necropsies. It is proposed that serum samples could be more effective than CSF in detecting the parasite by PCR analysis. Sequencing analysis showed high percentages of identity with G. paralysans, which indicated the feasibility of detection and the sensitivity/specificity of the method used, suggesting the implementation of semi-nested PCR as a routine diagnostic test for early and timely detection of feline gurltiosis.
Ultrasonography of Normal Adrenal Glands in Adult Holstein–Friesian Cows: A Pilot Study

Published: July 2020

Ultrasonographic reference values for the adrenal glands of cattle have not been reported to date. Adrenal glands can be affected by different pathologies, such as hyperplasia, neoplasia and atrophy (either primary or secondary). The present findings indicate that the right adrenal gland can be easily characterized by transabdominal ultrasound in adult Holstein–Friesian cows, with no apparent influence of age or weight. The right adrenal gland (mean length 3.86 ± 1.39 cm; and mean thickness 1.39 ± 0.26 cm) was consistently and mainly located in the 12th intercostal space. The left adrenal gland was more difficult to locate due to its more medial position, and to the presence of gas in the gastrointestinal tract, so it could not be visualized in most animals (18/25). Its mean length was 3.72 ± 0.95 cm, and mean thickness was 1.36 ± 0.33 cm, in the sagittal section. This is the first report of the ultrasonographic appearance of the adrenal glands of cows and of the corresponding reference preliminary values.
