Hygienic Practices Affecting Milk Quality and Mastitis on Larger Dairies
Creators: name: Bushnell, Robert B.
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 1984

description: Hygiene as practiced on the modern dairy plays a primary role in the production of high-quality milk and in reducing the incidence of the mastitic infections which are the major disease threat to dairy profits. For practical purposes, milking-parlor sanitation must be separated into three phases: I. premilking sanitation 2. cleansing of the milking unit after each cow is milked, and reducing organisms on the milker's hands. 3. dipping teats in an effective germicide post-milking.

description: Importance: Diagnostic incidence data for syndromes associated with frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) in multinational studies are urgent in light of upcoming therapeutic approaches. Objective: To assess the incidence of FTLD across Europe. Design, Setting, and Participants: The Frontotemporal Dementia Incidence European Research Study (FRONTIERS) was a retrospective cohort study conducted from June 1, 2018, to May 31, 2019, using a population-based registry from 13 tertiary FTLD research clinics from the UK, the Netherlands, Finland, Sweden, Spain, Bulgaria, Serbia, Germany, and Italy and including all new FTLD-associated cases during the study period, with a combined catchment population of 11 023 643 person-years. Included patients fulfilled criteria for the behavioral variant of frontotemporal dementia (BVFTD), the nonfluent variant or semantic variant of primary progressive aphasia (PPA), unspecified PPA, progressive supranuclear palsy, corticobasal syndrome, or frontotemporal dementia with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FTD-ALS). Data were analyzed from July 19 to December 7, 2021. Main Outcomes and Measures: Random-intercept Poisson models were used to obtain estimates of the European FTLD incidence rate accounting for geographic heterogeneity. Results: Based on 267 identified cases (mean [SD] patient age, 66.70 [9.02] years; 156 males [58.43%]), the estimated annual incidence rate for FTLD in Europe was 2.36 cases per 100 000 person-years (95% CI, 1.59-3.51 cases per 100 000 person-years). There was a progressive increase in FTLD incidence across age, reaching its peak at the age of 71 years, with 13.09 cases per 100 000 person-years (95% CI, 8.46-18.93 cases per 100 000 person-years) among men and 7.88 cases per 100 000 person-years (95% CI, 5.39-11.60 cases per 100 000 person-years) among women. Overall, the incidence was higher among men (2.84 cases per 100 000 person-years; 95% CI, 1.88-4.27 cases per 100 000 person-years) than among women (1.91 cases per 100 000 person-years; 95% CI, 1.26-2.91 cases per 100 000 person-years). BVFTD was the most common phenotype (107 cases [40.07%]), followed by PPA (76 [28.46%]) and extrapyramidal phenotypes (69 [25.84%]). FTD-ALS was the rarest phenotype (15 cases [5.62%]). A total of 95 patients with FTLD (35.58%) had a family history of dementia. The estimated number of new FTLD cases per year in Europe was 12 057. Conclusions and Relevance: The findings suggest that FTLD-associated syndromes are more common than previously recognized, and diagnosis should be considered at any age. Improved knowledge of FTLD incidence may contribute to appropriate health and social care planning and in the design of future clinical trials.

description: Streptococcus thermophilus is a species frequently used in the manufacture of fermented milk. Apart from acid production, some strains additionally synthesize exopolysaccharides (EPS) which contribute to texture improvement and syneresis reduction, both being attributable to the EPS’s high water binding capacity. There are two different types of EPS that may be produced, namely free exopolysaccharides (fEPS) which are secreted into the medium, and capsular EPS (cEPS) which remain attached to the bacterial cell wall. This study aims to analyze their individual contribution to techno-functional properties of fermented milk by determining the moisture sorption behavior of isolated fEPS and cell-attached cEPS from two S. thermophilus strains separately: ST-1G, a producer of non-ropy fEPS and cEPS, and ST-2E, a producer of ropy fEPS and cEPS. Differences in moisture load and sorption kinetics, determined for the first time for microbial EPS, were related to structural and macromolecular properties. The observed data are discussed by using previously published data on the physical properties of stirred fermented milk produced with these two strains. ST-1G EPS showed a higher cEPS fraction, a higher moisture load and slower moisture desorption than EPS produced by ST-2E, thus contributing to lower syneresis in fermented milk. For ST-2E, higher gel viscosity was related to a higher intrinsic viscosity and molecular mass of the ropy fEPS. Both strains produced complex EPS or EPS mixtures with clearly different molecular structures.

description: Certified preconditioning (PC) is a positive contribution to the management offeeder beef calves. In spite of some fair criticisms, PC remains a proven tool to reduce post weaning morbidity and mortality. Incorporated into a total herd management effort, PC has often meant the difference between profit and loss. This has been true especially during the last 3-5 years. It is not easy to make a buck in the cow 'n calf business unless all tenets of management are observed.

description: Background: Previous studies find that members of social networks tend to influence each other regarding the likelihood and timing of births. However, less evidence exists as to whether and how individuals actively select their network ties according to parental status. Hence, we explicitly study both the discontinuation of existing ties and formation of new ties. Objective: We study network selection regarding parenthood status based on large-scale panel data on social networks in Germany. Methods: Our analyses are based on data from waves 2 and 4 of the German Family Panel (Pairfam, up to N = 36,352 ego–alter relationships). We use a record linkage procedure to match network persons longitudinally and estimate multilevel random and fixed-effect multinomial regression models. Results: We find weak evidence that young children increase the likelihood that existing social network relationships are discontinued and strong evidence that young children decrease the likelihood that new network relationships are initiated. Further, we find homophily effects regarding parental status in that both childless respondents and parents who recently had a child are less likely to dissolve ties to alters with the same parental status, respectively. Among women, homophily in parenthood status also increases the likelihood of establishing a new social network relationship. Contribution: By considering tie selection on the relationship level in ego-centered networks, our findings shed more light on the phenomenon of social alignment in networks regarding fertility behavior.

description: This paper presents an unsupervised algorithm for nonlinear unmixing of hyperspectral images. The proposed model assumes that the pixel reflectances result from a nonlinear function of the abundance vectors associated with the pure spectral components. We assume that the spectral signatures of the pure components and the nonlinear function are unknown. The first step of the proposed method consists of the Bayesian estimation of the abundance vectors for all the image pixels and the nonlinear function relating the abundance vectors to the observations. The endmembers are subsequently estimated using Gaussian process regression. The performance of the unmixing strategy is evaluated with simulations conducted on synthetic and real data.

description: Background: Patient-reported physical function (PF) is a key endpoint in cancer clinical trials. Using complex statistical methods, common metrics have been developed to compare scores from different patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures, but such methods do not account for possible differences in questionnaire content. Therefore, the aim of our study was a content comparison of frequently used PRO measures for PF in cancer patients. Methods: Relying on the framework of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) we categorized the item content of the physical domains of the following measures: EORTC CAT Core, EORTC QLQ-C30, SF-36, PROMIS Cancer Item Bank for Physical Function, PROMIS Short Form for Physical Function 20a, and the FACT-G. Item content was linked to ICF categories by two independent reviewers. Results: The 118 items investigated were assigned to 3 components (‘d – Activities and Participation’, ‘b – Body Functions’, and ‘e – Environmental Factors’) and 11 first-level ICF categories. All PF items of the EORTC measures but one were assigned to the first-level ICF categories ‘d4 – Mobility’ and ‘d5 – Self-care’, all within the component ‘d – Activities and Participation’. The SF-36 additionally included item content related to ‘d9 – Community, social and civic life’ and the PROMIS Short Form for Physical Function 20a also included content related to ‘d6 – domestic life’. The PROMIS Cancer Item Bank (v1.1) covered, in addition, two first-level categories within the component ‘b – Body Functions’. The FACT-G Physical Well-being scale was found to be the most diverse scale with item content partly not covered by the ICF framework. Discussion: Our results provide information about conceptual differences between common PRO measures for the assessment of PF in cancer patients. Our results complement quantitative information on psychometric characteristics of these measures and provide a better understanding of the possibilities of establishing common metrics.

description: Animal health is an important aspect of a preconditioning program; however, average daily gain and feed efficiency are extremely important if the program is to be profitable for the cow:calf producer. Not all calves are stressed to the same degree and as a result, not all calves will respond equally to a given treatment or nutritional level.

description: The aim of the present study is to determine the Li abundances for a large set of the FGK dwarfs and to analyse the connections between the Li content, stellar parameters, and activity. Atmospheric parameters, rotational velocities and Li abundances were determined from a homogeneous collection of the echelle spectra with high resolution and high signal-to-noise ratio. Rotational velocities vsini were determined by calibrating the cross-correlation function. Effective temperatures Teff were estimated by the line-depth ratio method. Surface gravities log g were computed by two methods: iron ionization balance and parallax. LTE Li abundances were computed using the synthetic spectrum method. The behaviour of the Li abundance was examined in correlation with Teff, [Fe/H], vsini and level of activity in three stellar groups of different temperatures. The stellar parameters and Li abundances are presented for 150 slow rotating stars of the lower part of MS. The studied stars show a decline in the Li abundance with decreasing temperature Teff and a significant spread, which should be due to the differences of age. A correlation between Li abundance, vsini and level of chromospheric activity is seen for stars with 6000>Teff>5700 K, and it is tighter for stars with 5700>Teff>5200 K. Stars with Teff<5200 K do not show any correlation between log A(Li) and vsini. The relationship between chromospheric and coronal fluxes in active stars with detected Li as well as in less active stars gives a hint that there exist different conditions in the action of the dynamo mechanism in those stars. We found that the Li-activity correlation is evident only in a restricted temperature range and the Li abundance spread seems to be present in a group of low chromospheric activity stars that also show a broad spread in chromospheric vs coronal activity.

description: The need for a program to improve the well-being of the calf leaving its production site to better withstand the stress of movement through the channels of trade to the feedlot has been obvious for the last 50 years. The mere fact that 1-2% of all feeders die upon arrival in the feedlot is noteworthy, but the hidden losses are unestimable. The loss suffered from shrink, feed utilization, time needed for feedlot adaptation, labor and treatment costs are estimated to amount to $15.00 to $25.00 for every animal entering a feedlot. The catastrophic losses suffered when a high percent of the animals die are unestimable.

title: Aspects of Coherence for Entity Analysis
Creators: name: Heinzerling, Benjamin
Publisher: name: Heidelberg University Library
Year: 2019

description: Natural language understanding is an important topic in natural language proces-
sing. Given a text, a computer program should, at the very least, be able to under-
stand what the text is about, and ideally also situate it in its extra-textual context
and understand what purpose it serves. What exactly it means to understand what a
text is about is an open question, but it is generally accepted that, at a minimum, un-
derstanding involves being able to answer questions like “Who did what to whom?
Where? When? How? And Why?”. Entity analysis, the computational analysis of
entities mentioned in a text, aims to support answering the questions “Who?” and
“Whom?” by identifying entities mentioned in a text. If the answers to “Where?”
and “When?” are specific, named locations and events, entity analysis can also pro-
vide these answers. Entity analysis aims to answer these questions by performing
entity linking, that is, linking mentions of entities to their corresponding entry in
a knowledge base, coreference resolution, that is, identifying all mentions in a text
that refer to the same entity, and entity typing, that is, assigning a label such as
Person to mentions of entities.
In this thesis, we study how different aspects of coherence can be exploited to
improve entity analysis. Our main contribution is a method that allows exploiting
knowledge-rich, specific aspects of coherence, namely geographic, temporal, and
entity type coherence. Geographic coherence expresses the intuition that entities
mentioned in a text tend to be geographically close. Similarly, temporal coherence
captures the intuition that entities mentioned in a text tend to be close in the tem-
poral dimension. Entity type coherence is based in the observation that in a text
about a certain topic, such as sports, the entities mentioned in it tend to have the
same or related entity types, such as sports team or athlete. We show how to integrate
features modeling these aspects of coherence into entity linking systems and esta-
blish their utility in extensive experiments covering different datasets and systems.
Since entity linking often requires computationally expensive joint, global optimi-
zation, we propose a simple, but effective rule-based approach that enjoys some of
the benefits of joint, global approaches, while avoiding some of their drawbacks.
To enable convenient error analysis for system developers, we introduce a tool for 
visual analysis of entity linking system output. Investigating another aspect of co-
herence, namely the coherence between a predicate and its arguments, we devise a
distributed model of selectional preferences and assess its impact on a neural core-
ference resolution system. Our final contribution examines how multilingual entity
typing can be improved by incorporating subword information. We train and make
publicly available subword embeddings in 275 languages and show their utility in
a multilingual entity typing task

description: To date, PGF has been used or advocated for nearly every conceivable reproductive disorder of cattle, from retained placenta to treatment for mismating. Some therapeutic uses are based on a recognized action of PGF, for example, luteolysis for treatment of unobserved estrus. Other uses are based on more speculative premises, for example, stimulation of the myometrium for treatment of postpartum metritis.

description: Surface coatings prepared by layer-by-layer technique permit loading of growth factors (GFs) and their spatially controlled release. Here, native chondroitin sulfate (nCS), oxidized CS (oCS100), or mixture of both (oCS50) are combined with collagen I (Col I) to fabricate polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs) that exhibit structural, mechanical, and biochemical cues like the natural extracellular-matrix. The use of oCS enables intrinsic cross-linking of PEM that offers higher stability, stiffness, and better control of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) release compared to nCS. oCS100 PEMs have enhanced stiffness, promote Col I fibrillization, and present BMP-2 in a matrix-bound manner. oCS50 PEMs show intermediate effects on osteogenesis, soft surface, high water content but also moderately slow BMP-2 release profile. C2C12 myoblasts used for osteogenesis studies show that oCS PEMs are more stable and superior to nCS PEMs in supporting cell adhesion and spreading as well as in presenting BMP-2 to the cells. oCS PEMs are triggering more osteogenesis as proved by the quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, immune and histochemical staining. These findings show that intrinsic cross-linking in oCS/Col I multilayers provides a successful tool to control GFs delivery and subsequent cell differentiation which opens new opportunities in regenerative therapies of bone and other tissues.

description: Postpartum uterine infections are a common occurrence in cows in intensively managed dairy operations. The literature contains numerous reports of therapies for postpartum uterine infection but a paucity on the effects of these therapies upon subsequent fertility. If the pathology, endocrinology, and bacteriology of the peripartum period are understood, then a more rational therapeutic approach to management of postpartum uterine infections can be derived. In selecting therapies, the objective of restoring reproductive performance to normal should never be lost from sight.

description: The evolution of the non-adiabatic pressure perturbation during inflation driven by two scalar fields is studied numerically for three different types of models. In the first model, the fields have standard kinetic terms. The other two models considered feature non-canonical kinetic terms; the first containing two fields which are coupled via their kinetic terms, and the second where one field has the standard kinetic term with the other field being a DBI field. We find that the evolution and the final amplitude of the non-adiabatic pressure perturbation depends strongly on the kinetic terms.

description: Nutrition in the dry and immediate postpartum period directly affect reproductive performance. Nutritional effects on fertility are mediated through a complex of complications at calving and metritis. Cows in negative energy balance during this period have increased incidence of metritis, altered hormonal profiles and delayed conception. Successful reproductive programs must recognize these early indicators of impaired fertility and, when indicated, implement control and treatment programs.

description: Supersymmetric theories which can allow for a 125 GeV Higgs mass and also solve the naturalness and susy flavor problems now require a fair degree of complexity. Here we consider the simplest possibility for supersymmetry near the weak scale, but with the requirement of naturalness dropped. In "pure gravity mediation", all supersymmetric particles except for the gauginos lie at tens to thousands of TeV, with the gauginos obtaining loop suppressed masses automatically by anomaly mediation and higgsino threshold corrections. The gauginos are the lightest superpartners, and we investigate the current collider constraints on their masses, as well as the future reach of the LHC. We consider gluino pair production with a jets + missing energy signature, as well as events with disappearing charged tracks caused by charged winos decaying into their neutral partners. We show that presently, gluino masses less than about 1 TeV and wino masses less than about 300 GeV are excluded, and that the 14 TeV LHC can probe gluino masses up to about 2 TeV and wino masses up to 1 TeV.

Persistent Infection of Cattle with BVD Virus: Recent Findings on Origin, Prevalence and Relationship to Disease
Creators: name: Bolin, Steven R.
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 1984

description: The results of laboratory and field investigations indicate a link between persistent infection with BYD virus and mucosal disease. Both noncytopathic and cytopathic BYD viruses have been isolated from field cases of mucosal disease and mucosal disease has been experimentally produced in cattle persistently infected with noncytopathic BYD virus by superinfection with cytopathic BYD virus. The prevalence of persistent BYD virus infection is unknown but is probably high enough to be of concern. The persistently infected cow is a source of infection for other cattle, passes the persistent infection on to her offspring, and is at risk of developing mucosal disease.

description: Forests are ecosystems critical to understanding the global carbon budget, due to their carbon sequestration potential in both aboveground and belowground compartments, especially in species-rich forests. Soil carbon sequestration is strongly linked to soil microbial communities, and this link is mediated by the tree community, likely due to modifications of microenvironmental conditions (i.e., biotic conditions, soil properties, and microclimate). We studied soil carbon concentration and the soil microbial biomass of 180 local neighborhoods along a gradient of tree species richness ranging from 1 to 16 tree species per plot in a Chinese subtropical forest experiment (BEF-China). Tree productivity and different tree functional traits were measured at the neighborhood level. We tested the effects of tree productivity, functional trait identity, and dissimilarity on soil carbon concentrations, and their mediation by the soil microbial biomass and microenvironmental conditions. Our analyses showed a strong positive correlation between soil microbial biomass and soil carbon concentrations. In addition, soil carbon concentration increased with tree productivity and tree root diameter, while it decreased with litterfall C:N content. Moreover, tree productivity and tree functional traits (e.g., fungal root association and litterfall C:N ratio) modulated microenvironmental conditions with substantial consequences for soil microbial biomass. We also showed that soil history and topography should be considered in future experiments and tree plantations, as soil carbon concentrations were higher at sites where historical (i.e., at the beginning of the experiment) carbon concentrations were high, themselves being strongly affected by the topography. Altogether, these results implied that the quantification of the different soil carbon pools is critical for understanding microbial community–soil carbon stock relationships and their dependence on tree diversity and microenvironmental conditions.

description: Paratuberculosis is an infection caused by Mycohacterium paratuherculosis. Clinical paratuberculosis is known as Johne's disease. Most animals acquire the infection shortly after birth, but signs of illness usually are not apparent for several years. Paratuberculosis usually is spread from herd to herd by the purchase of infected animals that are not showing signs of the disease. We have found that cattle may shed the organisms in their feces for up to three years before exhibiting signs of the illness.

description: We report on our recent attempts to determine the short distance behaviors of general 2-baryon and 3-baryon forces, which are defined from the Nambu-Bethe-Salpeter(NBS) wave function, by using the operator product expansion and a renormalization group analysis in QCD. We have found that the repulsion at short distance increases as the number of valence quarks increases or when the number of different flavors involved decreases. This global tendency suggests a Pauli suppression principle among quark fields at work.

Bovine Parasites of Particular Importance in the Northwest
Creators: name: Wescott, Richard B.
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 1984

description: The problem of internal parasites in cattle is more unrpedictable in the Northwest than in geographic areas where clincial disease is the rule rather than the exception. The practitioner in this area is continually confronted with the question .. will treatment provide an economic response?" The answer often is based on information obtained from research done in other regions and frequently may not apply to their conditions. Five examples, ostertagiasis, coccidiosis, fascioliasis, trichomoniasis, and cryptosporidiosis, of regionally important parasitisms will be discussed in this regard. All are often subclinical, all present diagnostic problems and all require different control measures.

Dairy Herd Parasitology
Creators: name: Bradley, Richard E.
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 1984

description: The most important time to control internal parasites in a modern, high-producing dairy herd is from the time the replacement heifer calf is dropped until she is introduced into the milking herd. The use of proper sanitary procedures including pasture maintenance to destroy parasites at infective stages or to prevent contact with the infective stages is essential. In addition, proper use of effective anthelmintic drugs is required. When the heifers become adults and join the milking herd the same type of management procedures for controlling exposure to parasites at infective stages is equally important due to severe FDA restrictions on the use of anthelmintic drugs in lactating dairy cows.

description: Spins confined in quantum dots are a leading candidate for solid-state quantum bits that can be coherently controlled by optical pulses. There are, however, many challenges to developing a scalable multibit information processing device based on spins in quantum dots, including the natural inhomogeneous distribution of quantum dot energy levels, the difficulty of creating all-optical spin manipulation protocols compatible with nondestructive readout, and the substantial electron-nuclear hyperfine interaction-induced decoherence. Here, we present a scalable qubit design and device architecture based on the spin states of single holes confined in a quantum dot molecule. The quantum dot molecule qubit enables a new strategy for optical coherent control with dramatically enhanced wavelength tunability. The use of hole spins allows the suppression of decoherence via hyperfine interactions and enables coherent spin rotations using Raman transitions mediated by a hole-spin-mixed optically excited state. Because the spin mixing is present only in the optically excited state, dephasing and decoherence are strongly suppressed in the ground states that define the qubits and nondestructive readout is possible. We present the qubit and device designs and analyze the wavelength tunability and fidelity of gate operations that can be implemented using this strategy. We then present experimental and theoretical progress toward implementing this design.

description: In game theory, an Evolutionarily Stable Set (ES set) is a set of Nash Equilibrium (NE) strategies that give the same payoffs. Similar to an Evolutionarily Stable Strategy (ES strategy), an ES set is also a strict NE. This work investigates the evolutionary stability of classical and quantum strategies in the quantum penny flip games. In particular, we developed an evolutionary game theory model to conduct a series of simulations where a population of mixed classical strategies from the ES set of the game were invaded by quantum strategies. We found that when only one of the two players' mixed classical strategies were invaded, the results were different. In one case, due to the interference phenomenon of superposition, quantum strategies provided more payoff, hence successfully replaced the mixed classical strategies in the ES set. In the other case, the mixed classical strategies were able to sustain the invasion of quantum strategies and remained in the ES set. Moreover, when both players' mixed classical strategies were invaded by quantum strategies, a new quantum ES set emerged. The strategies in the quantum ES set give both players payoff 0, which is the same as the payoff of the strategies in the mixed classical ES set of this game.

description: Success or failure of a polycentric system is a function of complex political and social processes, such as coordination between actors and venues to solve specialized policy problems. Yet there is currently no accepted method for isolating distinct processes of coordination, nor to understand how their variance affects polycentric governance performance. We develop and test a building-blocks approach that uses different patterns or “motifs” for measuring and comparing coordination longitudinally on Australia's Great Barrier Reef. Our approach confirms that polycentric governance comprises an evolving substrate of interdependent venues and actors over time. However, while issue specialization and actor participation can be improved through the mobilization of venues, such a strategy can also fragment overall polycentric capacity to resolve conflict and adapt to new problems. A building-blocks approach advances understanding and practice of polycentric governance by enabling sharper diagnosis of internal dynamics in complex environmental governance systems.

description: Ostertagia ostertagi is the most important parasites of cattle and occurs in all major cattle raising sections of the United States. Recognition, diagnosis, management and treatment for ostertagiasis are often misunderstood because of the complex epidemiology of the parasite in northern and southern regions of the country. It has become evident that the different disease phases of 0. ostertagi, i.e., type I, pre-type II, and type 11, as described from other parts of the world, do occur in this country. In northern temperate regions inhibition-prone larvae are acquired in autumn, persist through winter, with type II disease being a threat from late winter into spring. Larval inhibition occurs during spring in southern temperate regions such as Louisiana, the larvae remain in the inhibited state through summer and type II disease outbreaks may occur from late summer through autumn. Based on research in other parts of the world in which integrated forms of parasite control have been developed and implemented, there is an increasing interest in such control programs in this country. Appropriatelytimed anthelmintic treatment, tied in with some alteration of pasture management which provides safe pasture or pasture of reduced infection potential for younger, susceptible cattle is based on parasite epidemiological data. Such data is available for some sections of the country. Some aspects of research into parasite epidemiology and integrated control conducted in Louisiana are discussed.

description: Antibiotic/ sulfonamide residue detection is a serious matter for producers and veterinarians. With the increased emphasis by the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), antibiotic/ sulfonamide residues in swine and calves are in the spotlight. Antibiotic residues in milk, a responsibility of the Food and Drug Administration, have been a continuing problem. With the availability of the Live Animal Swab Test (LAST), the Sulfa Swab Test (SST) and the Sulfa Column Test, a practitioner can have the capability of determining antibiotic / sulfonamides in meat and milk prior to marketing.
