Abstract Extract In New Zealand, cobalt-containing drenches are recommended for the field diagnosis of cobalt deficiency, but find little use as a routine method of controlling the disease. For the latter purpose, cobaltized licks have a place on extensively-grazed untopdressed hill country. Otherwise, topdressing pastures annually with cobalt sulphate, usually as cobaltized superphosphate, has proved the best method of prevention (N.Z. Dept. Agric, 1954; Andrews, 1956). In Australia, however, greater reliance has been placed on drenches and licks, partly because cobalt topdressing is regarded as uneconomic on the extensive undeveloped holdings usually associated with cobalt deficiency in that country, and partly because the effects of cobalt applied to the land have often proved ephemeral, particularly on the acutely-deficient calcareous coastal sands (Lee, 1950; Bennetts, 1955). However, recent work in South Australia opens up an entirely new approach to the control of cobalt deficiency disease. Dewey et al. (1958) report that when semi-porous pellets containing cobaltic oxide are administered to sheep they are retained in the reticulum, or less commonly in the rumen, and release a continuous and adequate supply of cobalt to the animal. Phalaris staggers and cobalt deficiency disease can be prevented in this way. 相似文献

Abstract Extract The results of the 1965–6 New Zealand national mastitis survey (Anon., 1967) indicated that β-haemolytic staphylococci were the most common bacteria isolated from the milk of dairy cows. Effective control of β-haemolytic stapyhlococci on a national scaledepends ultimately upon an understanding of population changes of this organism within the cow and within the herd. 相似文献

Abstract Extract Surveys on perinatal infection in lambs in New Zealand have been reported and the pathology and bacteriology of the conditions described (Hartley and Boyes, 1955, 1964; McFarlane, 1955; Hartley and Kater, 1964). Potentially pathogenic organisms were isolated from 58 to 288 lambs from five flocks, Clostridium septicum being isolated from five of these cases (Hartley and Boyes, 1955). In another survey, 5.5% of lambs born dead or dying up to 4 weeks of age died from navel infection. Clostridium septicum was isolated from 69% of 48 consecutive cases (Hartley and Boyes, 1964). McFarlane (1955) recorded that 7.3% of perinatal mortality was due to navel infection but no bacteriology was carried out nor was the organism suspected stated. On individual farms, up to 15% of lambs recorded died from navel ill. It should be pointed out that, in this survey, only small numbers of lambs were received from some properties. 相似文献

Abstract Extract Tutu (Coriaria arborea Lindsay) is a small tree or shrub, variable in height, with leaves lin. to 3in. long, oblong and sessile, which has many flowers in long, drooping racemes. The fruit is purplish-black and is enveloped by juicy, persistent, and enlarged petals. It is a shrub that is found abundantly on certain river banks, bush, scrub, and tussock grassland throughout New Zealand (Connor, 1951). The green fruit and associated racemes, and also the flowering racemes, are highly toxic. The ripe fruit is relatively not as toxic (Easterfield, 1901). 相似文献

Abstract Extract Increasing references have been made in the recent veterinary literature to malacic diseases of the nervous system in sheep and other animals. Plowright (1954) and Innes and Plowright (1955) have described a focal symmetrical spinal poliomalacia of unknown aetiology in sheep in Kenya. In the U.S.A., Cordy (1954) has described a focal symmetrical encephalomalacia of horses following the ingestion of a species of thistle, and Jensen et al. (1956) have described an idiopathic polio-encephalomalacia in cattle and sheep. In New Zealand, Hartley (1956) has described a focal symmetrical encephalomalacia (F.S.E.) of lambs that may be related to the sublethal effects of the toxin of Clostridium perfringens (welchii) Type D. Smith (1957) has described widespread lesions of polio-encephalomalacia together with eosinophilic meningoencephalitis in sodium chloride poisoning of swine. 相似文献

Abstract Extract The object of this report is to record observations on the differences in incidence between Echinococcus granulosus and Taenia hydatigena in the livers of sheep of different age groups in New Zealand. The method of collection of data, examination, and classification of animals in these surveys have previously been described (Gemmell, 1961a, 1961b). 相似文献

Abstract Extract Published records of Escherichia coli infection in lambs have appeared with increasing frequency in recent years. Reports have come from Australia (Roberts, 1957, 1958; Charles, 1957) and from Britain (Terlecki and Shaw, 1959; Rees, 1958; Hughes, 1962). In the Australian outbreaks, the age of affected lambs ranged from three to eight weeks, while in the British outbreaks lambs became affected within one day of birth. In both countries the illness lasted from one to three days. Characteristically, the infection localized in the central nervous system leading to purulent meningo-encephahtis, and in the joints causing fibrino-purulent arthritis. 相似文献

Abstract Extract Sir, — The leptospiral serovars that have been cultured in New Zealand are pomona, copenhageni, ballum and hardjo. (Anon., 1951; Kirschner and Gray, 1951; Anon., 1967a; Lake, 1973, respectively.) Serological evidence of serovar tarassovi has been published (Russell and Hansen, 1958) but it is believed that until now no members of this serogroup have been isolated in New Zealand. 相似文献

Abstract Extract An infectious epididymitis of rams caused by Brucella ovis (Buddie, 1956) infection, first described in Australia (Simmons and Boyes, 1953) and New Zealand (Buddie and Boyes, 1953) was recognized subsequently in Czechoslovakia (Gdovin et al, 1955), the United States (McGowan and Shultz, 1956), South Africa (Van Rensburg et al, 1958), Rumania (Tudoriu, et al, 1958), and South America (Dr Justo Zomara B, 1961, pers. comm.). As the infection can affect ram fertility and, further, can be responsible for abortion in ewes and perinatal mortality in lambs, attention has been directed to the development, evaluation, and application of control measures in a number of important sheep-raising countries. 相似文献

Abstract Extract A gram-negative pleomorphic facultative aerobic organism, indistinguishable morphologically and culturally from that isolated from suppurative epididymitis in rams and described by Dodd &; Hartley (1955), has, over the last five years, been isolated at this laboratory on more than ten occasions from polytenosynovitis and pyaemia in lambs, and on one occasion from mastitis in a ewe. It still remains to characterize and classify this organism, but Roberts has made a detailed comparison of it with his Histophilus ovis (Roberts, 1956) and considers that the two are indistinguishable (Roberts, 1958, pers. comm.). 相似文献

Abstract Extract Despite the importance of the beef and dairy industries in this country, little attention has been given to parasitic gastroenteritis as an animal health problem in cattle, although McMeekan (1954) has stated that helminths are most commonly associated with severe unthriftiness and losses in dairy calves after weaning. Apart from a recent report of a drenching trial in cattle (Cairns and Gallagher, 1964), there is a complete lack of published information on either the importance and prevalence of the disease in New Zealand, or on the host-parasite relationships concerned in the epidemiology of the disease. Similarly the literature is devoid of data relating to the incidence and distribution of the various parasite species. 相似文献

Abstract Extract Recent surveys carried out by the Veterinary Investigation Service in Britain (1959, 1960) into the causes of mortality in pigs confirmed the general impression that, in spite of advances in therapy and prophylaxis during the last 20 years, the mortality rate in piglets below 8 weeks of age is still in the region of 25 per cent of live births, a figure depressingly similar to, and indeed somewhat above, that obtained by Menzies-Kitchin (1937, 1938) before the war. The surveys also analysed all deaths by age groups, organs affected and aetiological agent, in an attempt to define as precisely as possible the disease problems in British pigs. 相似文献

Abstract Extract In a previous publication (Sinclair and Andrews, 1958) the writers discussed methods of preventing goitre in lambs from ewes fed brassica crops. In particular, it was found that two oral doses of an inorganic iodine compound, one given. about two months and the other about one month before lambing, largely prevented signs of the disease. Death rates associated with severe outbreaks were markedly reduced. Later, Myers and Ross (1959) reported that injections of “Neo-Hydriol” (May and Baker) an iodized poppy-seed oil preparation of specific gravity 1·375 and containing 40 per cent, (weight/weight) of bound iodine, had a significant effect on the thyroid glands of ewes as measured by decreased cell height and increased iodine content. The main aims of the work reported here were to determine the effects of single injections of Neo-Hydriol given to ewes grazed during the last two months of pregnancy on thousand-headed kale (Brassica oleracea var. acephala), on gestation periods, lamb lamb birth weights, lamb thyroid glands, and the high death rate accompanying severe goitre in new-born lambs. 相似文献

Abstract Extract Madam:— The N.Z.V.A. Nominee on the National Hydatids Council, Mr Peter Malone, in his annual report states that he knows of “no professional concerns that would allow certificates to be issued to exempt dogs from dosing with droncit, and on receipt of copies of such certificates will continue to forward them to the Veterinary Council to examine for disciplinary action”. (1 In September 1985 I examined a nine year old miniature poodle dog that had been dosed with droncit by a hydatids control officer two hours previously. The dog had collapsed into lateral recumbancy, was pale and cyanotic with a rectal temperature of 37.3°C. Cardiac and thoracic auscultation was normal, and no other abnormal clinical signs were detected. There was no previous history of similar episodes and the dog has been dosed with droncit several times beforehand without problems. The dog was treated with betamethasone and millophylline and made a full recovery within 48 hours. 相似文献

Abstract Extract Much work has been, carried out in New Zealand to ascertain the response in young sheep to drenching with anthelmintics (for review see Whitten, 1954). Clarke &; Filmer (1958) have also examined response to drenching in their studies on hogget' ill-thrift. As Whitten (1954) has shown, results of past drenching trials have been extremely variable. In some cases little or no response has been observed, in others considerable increases; in weight gains have been achieved. More recently, Robertson (1963) has summarized the results of part of an extensive series of country-wide post-weaning drenching trials conducted by the Department of Agriculture with the new anthelmintic thiabendazole. In those trials consistent, weight gain responses were recorded in favour of the drenched animals. However, most of the published data are from trials involving strategic drenching programmes designed to control or limit infestation rather than to suppress completely, patent infestation. Most of these trials have been confined to late summer, autumn and winter, and few have attempted to cover the entire first year of young sheep. Furthermore, little attempt has hitherto been made to correlate responses obtained with the changing degree and species composition of infestation throughout the course of the trial. 相似文献

Abstract Extract The control of the spread of mastitis infection by good hygiene in the milking shed has long been advocated but the methods used have varied in their efficiency and practicability. Moller (1957) reported good results in the control of Streptococcus agalactiae infection when running water was used to wash the udder, and teat cups were dipped in Chlorhexidine solution between cows. However, many farmers find that dipping cups is irksome and, unless it is carefully done, it becomes ineffective. 相似文献

Abstract Extract Feild outbreaks of acute lameness in sheep in New Zealand are usually attributed to contagious footrot (Fusiformis nodosus) (Beveridge, 1941), foot abscess (Sphaerophorus necrophorus) (Gregory, 1939), or so-called “nutritional scald” Occasionally Erysipelothrix rhusio pathiae is also responsible (Whitten, 1951). 相似文献
