title: IN VITRO AND IN VIVO EFFECT OF Eugenia uniflora EXTRACTS ON GASTROINTESTINAL NEMATODE OF SHEEP

description: Abstract: This study evaluated the in vitro and in vivo action of Eugenia uniflora extracts on sheep gastrointestinal nematode. In the egg hatchability inhibition assay, aqueous and hydroalcoholic extracts were tested in the concentrations ranging from 40 to 1.25 mg/mL. The cytotoxic effect was measured using the MTT assay on VERO cells at concentrations ranging from 4000 to 1.95 μg/mL. The chemical composition was analyzed through the qualitative phytochemical screening. In the in vivo test, 100 mg/kg of the hydroalcoholic extract was administered orally for three days in sheep naturally infected and fecal collection was performed to estimate the egg count per gram of faeces (EPG). Different extracts of E. uniflora inhibited hatchability of eggs with a percentage of inhibition ranging from 14.56 to 99.75%, being the hydroalcoholic most effective than the aqueous. In phytochemical analysis, compounds with anthelmintic action were observed, such as flavonoids, saponins, tannins and triterpenes. Extracts showed moderate to null cytotoxicity under the conditions tested. Reduction of EPG was observed only in control group (anthelmintic). The extracts of E. uniflora proved promising with in vitro action, requiring studies that assess other concentrations and forms of in vivo administration.

title: HYPOCALCEMIA IN DAIRY COWS OF FAMILY AGRICULTURE

description: Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of hypocalcemia associated or not to hypomagnesemia in dairy cows of family farming properties. Were evaluated 22 cows, Jersey, Dutch and Jersolando breeds, during the transition period, from small family farming properties, with average 12 L/milk/day production. The concentration of serum total calcium and magnesium was determined by colorimetric methodology and calculation of ionized calcium estimated from the serum concentrations of total calcium, protein and albumin. Hipocalcemia was observed in 50% of the animals in prepartum (8.2 ± 1, 4 mg/dL) and 63.6% postpartum (7.7 ± 1.7 mg/dL). The reduction of ionized calcium was less frequent, with many of the animals presenting estimated ionized calcium within the normal range, averaging 4.6 ± 0.83 mg/dL in the prepartum and 4.3 ± 1.0 mg/dL in the postpartum. All animals presented concentrations of serum magnesium within normality, excluding hypomagnesemia. The average concentration of magnesium in the partum was 2.4 ± 0.3 mg/dL with significant elevation (p &lt; 0.05) in postpartum to 2.7 ± 0.5 mg/dL. We concluded that dairy cows in the family agriculture are susceptible to hypocalcemia, and the absence of clinical signs may be relacionated with the maintenance of ionized calcium concentration into normal range, associeted with absence of hypomagnesemia.

title: HEMATOLOGICAL VALUES OF CRAB EATING FOXES (Cerdocyon thous) FROM PANTANAL, MATO GROSSO DO SUL, BRAZIL NATURALLY INFECTED AND NON INFECTED BY Trypanosoma cruzi AND T. evansi

description: Abstract The aim of this work was to evaluate the influence of sex, seasonality and infections by Trypanosoma cruzi and Trypanosoma evansi on the hematological values of crab-eating foxes (Cerdocyon thous) that inhabit the Pantanal from Mato Grosso do Sul. Between November of 2015 and October of 2016, 48 animals were sampled. The hematological values measured were erythrocyte and leukocyte counts, globular volume and mean corpuscular volume. We considered as parasitized the positive animals for T.cruzi and T. evansi in any of diagnostic tests used. We observed that seven (14.5%) of the crab-eating foxes were parasitized only by T.cruzi, seven by T. evansi, and nine (19%) were coinfected. The parasitized animals by T.cruzi showed a significant increase in leukocyte counts (14.7 x 103) compared to non-parasitized animals (10.4 x 103), parasitized by T. evansi (12.4 x 103) and coinfected (12.9 x 103). We observed a significant difference in relation to mean erythrocyte and mean corpuscular volume values between wet and dry periods: 2.6 x 106 and 165, and 3.4 x 106 and 132, respectively. All presented morphologically unconfirmed macrocytosis.

title: CADAVER PRESERVATION FOR SURGICAL SKILL TRAINING: COMPARISON OF TWO EMBALMING FORMULATIONS

description: Abstract At the School of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science, University of São Paulo, Brazil, preliminary surgical training involving live animals has been replaced by the use of embalmed canine cadavers. This study aimed to improve the embalming technique based on the modified Larssen solution by altering the original formulation. Twenty-four canine corpses obtained according to the norms and resolutions described by the animal research ethics committee were used in this study. The cadavers were randomly allocated to two groups, G1 and G2, and treated with modified Larsen solution containing 20% and 10% formalin, respectively. The Larssen solution used in G1 contained a higher volume of distilled water and higher formalin concentration than the one used in G2. Cadavers were used in hands-on surgical training labs for four weeks. The following evaluation criteria were considered: general appearance, muscle tissue color, tissue texture/consistency, joint flexibility, odor development, and skin integrity in the abdominal and other regions involved in surgical training. The cadavers in both groups showed good general appearance and retained satisfactory organoleptic properties for surgical training throughout the experimental period. There was no significant difference between the groups treated with 20% or 10% modified Larssen solution (p &gt; 0.05; chi-square test). The present findings were considered positive, because the dilution of the original formulation exhibited similar efficacy and required smaller amounts of chemicals, thus reducing the formulation cost.

title: THROMBOCYTOSIS: A RETROSPECTIVE STUDY OF 573 DOGS (2016-2017)

description: Abstract Thrombocytosis refers to the increase in number of platelets per microliter (µL) of blood. Platelet counts greater than 1,000,000/µL may be associated with clinical signs of bleeding or thrombosis. Previous studies on underlying causes of thrombocytosis have aroused the interest of researchers about its clinical importance in dogs. The objective of this study was to analyze the blood cell counts in dogs in order to define the main diseases or clinical conditions that were associated with thrombocytosis, from 2016 to 2017. This was done to determine the incidence of thrombocytosis, and categorize the increase in platelet count with respect to severity. Of the 12,676 blood samples analyzed, 4.5% presented thrombocytosis (n = 573). Similar mean platelet counts were observed in all diagnosis or different categories of clinical conditions (neoplasms; gastrointestinal, endocrine, and ophthalmological diseases; trauma and surgery; dermatological, cardiac, neurological, infectious, respiratory, genitourinary, idiopathic, and multiple diseases; and pregnancy) with no significant difference (P ≥ 0.05). The disorders most commonly associated with thrombocytosis were gastrointestinal diseases, followed by neoplasms. Furthermore, increased platelet counts were observed in dogs treated with glucocorticoids and vincristine drugs. As for the degree of severity, extreme thrombocytosis occurred more frequently in the presence of gastrointestinal diseases.

title: HEART MEASUREMENTS OF NON-HUMAN PRIMATES BY RADIOGRAPHIC TECHNIQUES

description: Abstract Thoracic Radiology is a diagnostic technique used to study several aberrations, including cardiac abnormalities, which can be determined by VHS (vertebral heart size). The heart length and width are measured, and the CTR (cardiothoracic ratio) is calculated, by comparing the heart width to the thoracic diameter. This study aimed at measuring the cardiac silhouette of non-human primates (PNH) belonging to the genus Sapajus sp., and the Alouatta guariba species through VHS and CTR. From among the eight animals assessed, it was evident that in both the Sapajus sp. and the Alouatta guariba, the highest HSV change index was observed, depending upon the age of the animal. However, although the individuals of the Alouatta guariba species are bigger in size and heavier, the animals of the genus Sapajus sp. have a larger heart size in proportion to their body.

title: METABOLIC PROFILE DURING THE PERIPARTURIENT EWES SANTA INÊS WITH SIMPLE AND MULTIPLE PREGNANCY

description: Abstract The metabolic profile represents an important tool in the diagnostic of metabolic diseases and in the nutritional monitoring of production animals. The main aim of this study was to evaluate the body scores and metabolic profile of sheep of the Santa Inês breed in a system of semi- confinement, during the peri-parturient. The body scores and metabolic profile were analysed between animals with single and multiple pregnancies. Fifty-five sheep were recruited for this study, of those, 43 with single pregnancy and 12 with twin pregnancies. The animals were submitted to blood collection and analyses of body score (BS) weekly, from the end of third month of pregnancy until one month postpartum, and those were analysed 10 times during this research. About the analyses throughout weeks, the study found different values to the variables Glucoses, BHB, NEFA, Triglycerides, Calcium, Phosphorus, Urea, and Creatinine for the Single Pregnancy (SP) and Twin Pregnancies (TP) groups (p&lt;0,005). Moreover, distinct rates of Magnesium was noticed in the Single Pregnancy group (p&lt;0,005). The week of birth and subsequent weeks, showed statistically different values of those from the weeks leading up to the birth in most of the variables studied. There was no significant difference in the comparison between the SP and TP groups for the parameters evaluated. In both groups, there were a decrease in the female body score, with a reduction in the proportion of animal with BS3 and 4 associated, and concomitant increase of animals with BS2 proportion.

title: ORIGIN AND ANTIMERIC DISTRIBUTION OF THE OBTURATOR NERVES IN THE NEW ZEALAND RABBITS

description: Abstract New Zealand rabbits are widely used as experimental models and represent an important casuistic in veterinary practices. The musculoskeletal conformation of rabbits frequently leads to the occurrence of lumbosacral lesions with neural involvement. In order to contribute to the comparative anatomy and the understanding of these lesions, the origin and distribution of the obturator nerves of 30 New Zealand rabbits (15 males and 15 females) previously fixed in 10% formaldehyde were studied by dissection. The obturator nerves were originated from the ventral spinal branches of L6 and L7 in 63.3% of the cases, L5 and L6 in 13.4%, only L7 in 13.4%, L7 and S1 in 6.6 % and of L6, L7 and S1 in 3.3%. The spinal segment that most contributed to the formation of the nerve was L7 (86.6% of the nerves). The obturator nerves emitted in all the specimens, a variable number of branches for the internal obturator, external obturator, pectineum, adductor and gracilis muscles. No significant differences were observed between the frequencies of the origin and muscular branches of the obturator nerves when comparing sex and antimers.
