Outcome of limb amputations in wapiti: 13 cases (1995-2001).

The object of this investigation was to determine the outcome of limb amputation in wapiti. Medical records of 13 wapiti that underwent limb amputation were reviewed to determine age, weight, sex, injury preceding amputation, limb amputated, amputation location, length of hospital stay, complications, and outcome. Ages ranged from 3 months to 8 years and weights from 70 kg to 280 kg. All animals were female. Eleven animals sustained catastrophic long bone fractures prior to amputation. Five animals had front limb amputations and 8 had hind limb amputations. Of these animals, 1 with a front limb amputaiton and 5 with hind limb amputations survived. Postsurgical inability to stand is associated with hospitalization of > 1 day. Of the 13 wapiti reviewed, 5 with hind limb amputations have produced and reared offspring. Hind limb amputation can be considered a viable alternative to euthanasia when catastrophic orthopedic injuries occur in female wapiti.

大五星枇杷花期修剪试验初报

春季开花期，根椐大五星枇杷的树势、花量、不同的栽培管理及产量要求等进行花期修剪试验。结果表明：修剪量为10％～20％、去果穗数为30％～35％是比较理想的，既能提高果实的坐果率(30％～70％)、果实的大小(1％～2％)、产量(45％～50％)，又不影响第2年的正常生长与结果。
