The Prevalence of Bovine Hypodermosis in Kars Province,Turkey

A total of 1276 cattle from 76 farms in 8 villages were examined by palpation of the skin for evidence of hypodermosis. The effects of age, sex, breed, and colour of cattle on hypodermosis were investigated. The overall prevalence was 31.9%. The mean number of warble fly larvae on infested animals was 8.46. Hypodermosis infestations were encountered in all the villages visited. Within a herd, the intensity of infestion decreased with the age of cattle. Infestation rates of warble fly larvae were lower in native cattle, in females, and in piebald animals.

Hypodermosis control and simultaneous treatment for fascioliasis in steinfurt,Germany

For decades, about 30% of the young cattle in the Steinfurt district of the North German Basin were infested with Hypoderma bovis. Compulsory treatment with rotenone between 1934 and 1963 failed to control infestation. When systemic organophosphorous insecticides became available a 3-year scheme was instituted in which all the 6–24-month-old cattle were treated annually, between 15 November and 15 December, with trichlorfon spot-on.At first, the treatment was not compulsory and warble infestation was occasionally found in cattle purchased outside the district. Later, the treatment was made compulsory and since 1966 warble infestation has not been detected in the district.     

Mycoplasma infections in sheep, goats and yaks

Mycoplasmas were isolated from yak calves in Mongolia, the 1st experience worldwide with this species. They were also isolated from pathologically affected sheep and goat lambs. The disease was experimentally reproduced in yak calves as well as in sheep and goat lambs. Clinical manifestations were identical with those recordable from animals with spontaneous outbreak of the disease. This had been for the 1 time ever that a therapy was tested on animals with mycoplasmosis, using water with addition of oligodynamic silver. Something between 95 and 100% of all patients were clinically cured. The experimental vaccine involved was found to offer protection against mycoplasmosis to sheep and goat lambs. Damage association with mycoplasmosis was found to occur 1st in liver, spleen, and lymph nodes and to be subsequently proliferated to lung and other organs. Respiratory mycoplasmosis is the common definition used at present but is not in conformity with the pathological processes involved, as the major role is played by liver damage. Mycoplasmosis in these 3 species, therefore, should better be named mycoplasmosis bovi hepatica.

Ovarian morphology and follicular systems in yaks of different ages

Forty-five female yaks of different ages with known reproductive histories were used to determine the morphology and follicular systems of their ovaries. The histological structure of the ovaries in each age group was found to be similar and resembled that of cattle and buffalo. The atresia of primordial follicles took one form (oocyte atresia); that of growing follicles could be divided into two stages (early and late); and that of Graafian follicular were classified as early, definite and late stage. The details of the several types of atresia are described herein. The average total numbers of primordial follicles per ovary pair in 1-month-old calves, 1-year-old heifers, 2-year-old heifers and 7-10-year-old cows were 53,500 +/- 6300, 32,870 +/- 4500, 22,850 +/- 2800 and 9500 +/- 1200, respectively; those of growing follicles were 210 +/- 76, 815 +/- 95, 895 +/- 142 and 445 +/- 88, respectively; and those of Graafian follicles were 36.5 +/- 14.2, 41.7 +/- 12.3, 37.8 +/- 9.8 and 42.5 +/- 14.5, respectively. The percentage of atretic primordial follicles per ovary pair in 1-month-old calves, 1-year-old heifers, 2-year-old heifers and 7 to 10 year-old cows were 51.6, 55.5, 56.7 and 47.4%, respectively. The average total numbers of atretic growing follicles per ovary pair were 119.5 +/- 21.5, 605.5 +/- 74.3, 721.6 +/- 78.5 and 275.8 +/- 66.3, respectively; those of atretic Graafian follicles were 22.1 +/- 5.6, 21.2 +/- 7.6, 21.5 +/- 4.7 and 25.3 +/- 6.7, respectively.     

Copper deficiency in yaks on pasture in western China

The clinical signs of a disorder in yaks (Bos grunniens), known locally as "swayback ailment," in the Qing Hai-Tibetan Plateau are described. The purpose of this study is to investigate the possibility that swayback ailment is iron (Fe)-induced copper (Cu) deficiency. The mean concentrations of Cu in soil and forage from affected areas and unaffected areas are similar and within the normal ranges. The mean concentrations of Cu in blood and hair from the affected yaks was significantly lower (P < 0.01) than that in unaffected yaks. The mean concentrations of Fe in soil and forage were significantly higher (P < 0.01) in affected than in unaffected areas. Affected yaks showed a hypochromic microcytic anemia and a low level of ceruloplasmin. Oral administration of copper sulphate prevented and cured the disease. We conclude that "swayback disorder" of yaks is caused by secondary Cu deficiency, mainly due to the high Fe content in forage.
