Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 2003

description: Disease and mortality in neonatal calves are often the consequences of insufficient passive immunization due to inadequate colostrum management. Disease prevalence and mortality can be reduced if colostrum is administered by an esophageal tube feeder a few hours after calving. The Danish Agricultural Advisory Centre recommends that calves expected to have insufficient colostrum intake, be fed a sufficient volume of high quality colostrum by esophageal tube feeder. To improve efficiency of esophageal tube feeding and increase calf welfare and performance, an interdisciplinary project was initiated aimed at development of a user-friendly, hygienic esophageal tube feeder for use in calves.

description: The practice of blanket dry cow antibiotic therapy has been very successful in eliminating many existing infections at dry-off and in preventing new intramammary infections (IMI) during the dry period. However, many new intramammary infections still occur during the dry period due to factors such as delays in keratin plug formation, poor sensitivity of some invading pathogens to intramammary antibiotic preparations, and decreases in antibiotic concentrations near the end of the dry period. The primary objective of this study was to describe whether quarters treated with an internal teat sealant in addition to an antibiotic (treated) at dry-off would develop fewer new intramammary infections during the dry period and early lactation, as compared to quarters treated with antibiotic alone (control). Secondary objectives were to describe the effect of treatment on the prevalence of intramammary infection after calving, the incidence of clinical mastitis events between dry-off and 60 days in milk (DIM), and linear score (LS) after calving.

Comparison of Two Techniques for Laparoscopic Abomasopexy for Correction of Left Displaced Abomasum in Dairy Cows
Creators: name: Newman, K. D.

Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 2003

description: Laparoscopic abomasopexy has been described to reduce the incidence of complications associated with traditional laparotomy and the blind, roll-and-tack corrective techniques for left-displaced abomasum in cattle. As originally described, this surgical technique involved left paralumbar fossa laparoscopy in standing cattle for placement of the abomasopexy suture, followed by right paramedian laparoscopy for suture retrieval. We hypothesized that laparoscopic abomasopexy could be performed successfully in cattle through a right paramedian laparoscopy alone. The purpose of this study was to compare the "two-step" procedure to a "one-step" procedure for laparoscopic abomasopexy.

description: Environmental and minor pathogens seem to be of increasing significance, especially in situations where major contagious pathogens (Streptococcus agalactiae and Staphylococcus aureus) have been controlled using post-milking teat disinfection and dry cow therapy. Herd management practices that successfully control contagious pathogens fail to control coliforms and many streptococcal bacteria. Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) are the most prevalent bacteria isolated in herds using currently recommended control measures and Corynebacterium bovis ( C. bovis) was identified as the cause of up to 20% of all cases of clinical mastitis in some herds.

Effect on in-vitro Cell Growth of Various Rehydrant Solutions
Creators: name: Verschoor, Jaap

Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 2003

description: In a controlled clinical study, the addition of Psyllium (a mucopolysaccharide derived from Isphagula seed shells) to a standard isotonic oral rehydrant solution (Deliver® with Dialine®, Pharmalett A/S, Denmark) reduced the duration, frequency and severity of diarrhea in newborn calves. This improvement of treatment is believed to be due to prolonged transit time through the small intestine, resulting in increased absorption of glucose and electrolytes. A new isotonic rehydrant solution (Deliver Extra, Pharmalett A/S, Denmark) was evaluated for its effect on in vitro cell growth. Deliver Extra is identical to Deliver® with Dialine® plus a mixture of important amino acids, including extra glutamine. Glutamine is included in Deliver Extra because it is a "limiting" amino acid that may play a role in diarrheal disease. It plays a role in maintaining mucosal integrity of the gut, and in controlled situations, glutamine has also been successful in enhancing the recovery of the damaged intestinal mucosa.

description: Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) continues to be the bane of the US beef and dairy industry. BVDV infections cause clinical signs that vary from peracute death to inapparent infection. Even these inapparent BVDV infections can result in persistent infection (PI) of susceptible fetuses. The macrophage expresses cell surface markers that are important for phagocytosis and bacteria killing, and also for stimulation of T helper cells and for immune surveillance and killing by cytotoxic T cells (CTL). In this study, our objective was to measure the effect of BVDV on the macrophage function (phagocytosis and pathogen killing) and surface marker expression (CD14, MHCI and MHCII).

description: The diagnosis of Johne's disease in cattle can be difficult. Cattle are often infected for years before they begin shedding Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis in their feces or mount a detectable humoral immune response. Current diagnostic tests, serology and fecal culture, are effective diagnostic tests to detect animals in advanced stages of disease, but fail to reliably detect infection in young replacement animals. However, it is thought that the majority of animals elicit a detectable cell mediated immune (CMI) response before fecal shedding occurs, and a detectable humoral immune response after fecal shedding. Therefore, it is important to evaluate CMI diagnostic tests as potential tools to use in the detection of subclinical infection, especially in replacement populations. There are two common methods for evaluating the CMI response to M. paratuberculosis, skin testing and the γ-interferon (IFN-γ) test. In the past, skin testing has not been viewed favorably in the literature. This may be in part due to the use of a gold standard (either fecal/tissue culture) to determine Johne's-positive status of individual animals. If the CMI response occurs before lesions are detected or organisms are at high enough concentrations to culture, then the skin test would be viewed as lacking specificity. In addition, no studies are published that carefully evaluate the skin test in known negative populations. Although the IFN-γ has worked well in research settings, field studies must be done to evaluate the usefulness of this test in production settings. Experience and research with the skin test and IFN-γ ELISA for the detection of Mycobacterium bovis has shown there is high agreement between the two tests. Therefore, our objectives in this study were to evaluate the agreement between the IFN-γ and skin test for the detection of Johne's disease, and to see if these tests detect the disease status of young animal populations.

description: The goal of this study was to compare total mercury (Hg) concentrations in fish muscle tissue and assess consumption health risks of fish collected from three north Mississippi lakes (Sardis, Enid, and Grenada) that are extensively used for fishing and recreation. Largemouth bass (LMB; n = 64), channel catfish (CC; n = 72), and white crappie (WC; n = 100), which represent a range of trophic levels, were collected during spring 2013 and 2014. Creel data estimated that anglers harvested approximately 370,000 kg of WC, 27,000 kg of CC, and 15,000 kg of LMB from the lakes annually. Median Hg wet weight concentrations were highest in LMB (443 ng/g), followed by CC (211 ng/g) and WC (192 ng/g). Fish-Hg concentrations were lower than those reported in fish >10 years ago. There were significant differences between lakes consistent across species. Grenada length-normalized fish-Hg concentrations were higher than those from Enid and Sardis. Because existing consumption advisories for CC are length based, the lack of relationship between length and Hg concentration indicated that the recommendations may not be sufficiently protective. Further, five different risk assessment paradigms yielded hazard quotient (HQ) values suggesting that existing fish consumption advisories may be insufficient to protect adults and especially children from exposure to Hg.

description: A great deal of the proposed pathophysiology of bovine laminitis is extrapolated from data obtained from equine laminitis. Similar to its equine counterpart, bovine laminitis commonly occurs secondary to conditions associated with endotoxemia (i.e. carbohydrate overload and mastitis). However, due to differences in clinical presentations of laminitis in the two species, our laboratory is interested to discern if the same pathophysiologic mechanisms take place in the two different species. Our laboratory has provided evidence that the developmental period of laminitis is an inflammatory event in horses. Specifically, we have demonstrated the upregulation of interleukin-Iβ (IL-1β) locally in equine laminae and systemically in mesenteric lymph nodes in the early stages of laminitis. Our lab also found increased COX-2 expression in equine laminae in horses in the developmental stage of black walnut extract-induced laminitis. Cyclooxygenase (COX) is the key enzyme in the process of converting arachidonic acid to eicosanoids. Downstream eicosanoid synthesis resulting from COX upregulation during laminitis may account for the aberrant vascular events occurring in the digit during this condition. The purpose of our project was to determine if cyclooxygenase isoforms (COX-1 and COX-2) were similarly affected in the laminitic bovid.

description: Foodborne enteric pathogens, such as Salmonella and Escherichia coli, have met with increased scrutiny by consumers, the food industry and government regulatory agencies. One of the primary food safety initiatives today is to prevent the spread of bacterial enteric pathogens from the farm to the table. Controlling these pathogens at the farm level is one of many strategies being pursued to ensure the safety of our food supply. One such approach in reducing consumer health risks associated with Salmonella and E. coli has focused on preventing intestinal colonization and fecal shedding of these pathogens in meat producing animals. Unfortunately, other than for improving general hygiene and reducing oral-fecal transmission, the control of these pathogens has met with limited success, leaving the producer vulnerable and often bewildered as to "what to do". The following study evaluates the use of a novel vaccine composition to prevent intestinal colonization of Salmonella in a controlled Salmonella Newport challenge in calves.

description: Heat stress has important consequences for animal welfare and production performance, and has been implicated as the most important reason for decreased milk production during summer time. Due to lower milk production, most research has targeted prevention of heat stress in lactating cows. Few investigations, however, have focused on cooling preparturient dairy cows during the non-lactating period, and no research has reported the effects of cooling during the last three weeks of gestation. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of shades, fans, and sprinklers on the last three weeks of gestation of Holstein cows during summer heat stress. Outcome variables included post-parturient milk production, rectal temperature, body condition score (BCS) and incidence of post-parturient disorders.

description: The sensitivity of enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) techniques for detection of cattle infected with Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) has been reported to be between 15 and 75%. Nearly all sensitivity evaluations of these ELISAs have utilized fecal-culture positive animals as the gold standard. This approach may result in inflated estimates of sensitivity, because animals in early stages of infection may not shed the bacteria consistently in their feces. The purpose of our study was to establish an estimate of the sensitivity of three ELISA tests for MAP, using sera from dairy cattle that were tissue-culture positive.

description: It has been established that a significant number of heifers are infected prior to, and at calving, with both minor and major mastitis pathogens. Ontario is no exception, and has a significant proportion of heifers calving with quarters infected with mastitis pathogens including Staphylococcus aureus, coliform bacteria, environmental streptococci and coagulase-negative staphylococci. Because of the negative impact such infections may have on future milk production and udder health, it is important to identify risk factors for these intramammary infections (IMI) so that attempts can be made to control them. It is particularly important to investigate risk factors for S. aureus IMI, since infected heifers must experience a mode of transmission other than spread at milking time.

description: Metritis is a post-parturient uterine disease that affects fertility, milk production and health of dairy cattle. To reduce the effects of metritis, some dairymen have adopted fresh cow programs that often include the administration of 4 mg estradiol cypionate (ECP) to postparturient cows with retained fetal membranes. Estradiol is reported to have positive effects on uterine immune function. This study was conducted in order to determine if the administration of 4 mg of ECP to cows at high risk for metritis is efficacious in decreasing metritis in the first 10 days postpartum.

description: The conventional approach to eliminate and prevent new intramammary infections over the dry period is to infuse all quarters with a long-acting dry cow antibiotic. However, this approach is hot without controversy, and alternative methods aimed at teat-end protection have been developed. The use of an external teat sealant to form a physical barrier is one such example. The objective of this study was to determine if application of a dry cow teat sealant at drying-off significantly reduced the level of infection at calving, and the impact of sealant adherence on achieving this outcome.

description: The debate over treating clinical mastitis with an antibiotic has hinged around the isolation of environmental pathogens. Although intramammary antibiotics may be successful in eliminating gra~-positive organisms, beta-lactam antibiotics have little efficacy on gram-negative organisms. Research also reports1 that many of the gram-negative coliforms are self-eliminating, and are generally cleared by the time clinical mastitis is detected when antibiotics are administered. However, others have reported2 that coliforms can persist without treatment and can contribute to increased somatic cell count in a herd. This study looked at the persistence of gram-negative coliforms in quarters that have been identified by culture at the signs of clinical mastitis.

description: Subclinical ketosis (SCK), based on a serum betahydroxybutyrate (BHB) concentration ≥1400 μmol/L (14.4 mg/dL), is a metabolic disease that has been associated with reduced milk production and increased risk of other metabolic disorders. Duffield et al (2001) have reported a median prevalence of SCK of 41% among 25 dairy herds, and a within-herd prevalence ranging between 8 and 80%. A milk strip cow-side test (Keto-Test, Elanco Animal Health, Guelph, Ontario) has been shown to have a sensitivity of 91% and a specificity of 74% to detect SCK in dairy cows when using a cut-off value of 100 μmol/L of BHB (Osborne et al, 2002). Statistical Process Control (SPC) and the use of Control Charts are tools that can be used in order to monitor health status in production medicine programs. Our objectives are to provide an overview of the SPC and Control Charts and to present a practical application of this tool using milk Keto-Test to monitor SCK in dairy herds.

description: Subclinical ketosis is a metabolic disease that has been associated with reduced milk production, and impaired fertility. Duffield et al (2001) have reported a median prevalence of subclinical ketosis of 41% among 25 Ontario Holstein herds, and a within-herd prevalence ranging between 8 and 80%. Our study was designed to evaluate the use of a milk strip test as a cow-side test for detection of subclinical ketosis, and to discuss its potential practical application to a herd health-monitoring program.

description: Staphylococcus aureus remains a significant cause of mastitis in the dairy industry. It has been recommended that control of S. aureus mastitis be focused on the specific genetic types of S. aureus that most commonly cause the mastitis. Genetic types can be defined using molecular techniques, including pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). There have been comparatively few studies looking at within-herd persistence over time of S. aureus genetic types as causes of mastitis. Most have dealt with very few isolates or comparatively short periods of time. The objective of this investigation was to examine PFGE band patterns (EPs) from bovine mastitis-causing S. aureus isolates from three related herds over the course of 15 years to determine if any patterns persisted long-term.

Re-thinking Clinical Mastitis Therapy

description: The course of treatment for clinical mastitis varies greatly from farm to farm. In most large herds (500 cows or greater), a cow is separated from the production herd when clinical mastitis is detected by abnormal milk. Abnormal milk is an indication of a problem that can occur with or without swelling and fever. When clinical mastitis is brought to the attention of the herdsman, he must make the decision to move the cow and start treatment. Unfortunately, this is often the point where treatment decisions are based on experience and opinions, rather than good scientific guidelines and protocols. In order to implement an effective clinical protocol, it is useful to determine the cause of infection and implement a treatment protocol that is specific for that type of infection. A good treatment protocol can reduce antibiotic use with fewer days of unsaleable milk.

Supporting informations（dataset）for MS ''New 40Ar/39Ar dating and paleomagnetism of the Pana Formation rocks from the Linzhou basin, Lhasa Block: implications for the India-Asia collision''

subject: Magnetism and palaeomagnetism

description: Our paleomagnetic and 40Ar/39Ar geochronologic investigation herein indicates a paleolatitude of ~31°N for the LB around ~53 Ma. Combined with the revised Late Cretaceous paleolatitude estimates, the LB was inferred at a paleolatitude of ~24°N in the Late Cretaceous and then reached a present-like location at ca. 53 Ma. Incorporating a reasonable estimate (~1000 km) for the northward extension of the Greater India, our paleomagnetic reconstruction of the Neo-Tethyan tectonic realm strongly supports a two-stage collision scenario consisting of the ~55 Ma Arc-India collision followed by the final collision between the India-Arc assemblage and Asia at ~36-31 Ma.

description: The administration of a vaccine shortly prior to parturition is believed to increase the titers of the cows at the time of calving, and potentially increase the amount of antibody available for passage to the calf via colostrum. The objective of this study was to evaluate the response of postcolostral agent specific titers in calves whose dams received a killed viral vaccine at dry-off.

description: Reduced steroidogenic capacity of the corpus luteum (CL) during early luteal phase has been reported to cause decreased fertility in cows. Higher concentrations of progesterone were observed in pregnant cows 5-10 days after artificial insemination (AI) compared to non-pregnant cows. However, the extent to which luteal sub-function affects fertility in high producing dairy cows is not clear. The present study, therefore, was undertaken to: 1) investigate the type and incidence of luteal sub-function after insemination; 2) to study the relationship between post-insemination luteal sub-function and conception rate; and 3) clarify the relationship of luteal function with parity, body condition score, milk yield and dietary intake.

description: Early fetal loss in dairy cattle is a major factor contributing to repeat breeding. If the average fertilization rate in cattle is 85-95% and the incidence of repeat breeders is 56-72% of the herd, then embryonic or early fetal loss (EFL) accounts for 15-25% wastage. It was the purpose of this project to evaluate the effects that changes in body condition score (BCS) and breeding a potentially pregnant cow have on EFL during two periods: between 24-28 days after artificial insemination (AI), and between 28-42 days after AI.
