Uptake and excretion of organochlorine compounds in neonatal calves

Intestinal absorption mechanisms of young calves change rapidly during the first 24 h postpartum and subsequently effect the absorption efficiencies of a wide range of compounds. This study was conducted to determine absorption efficiencies of (p,p'-dichlorodiphenyl)dichloroethylene (DDE), 2,2',4,4',5,5'-hexachlorobiphenyl (PCB-153), and 1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9-octachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (OCDD) when administered in colostrum to neonatal calves. Four male Holstein calves were given a single oral dose containing 100 mg each of DDE, PCB-153, and OCDD either 1 h (n = 2) or 65 h (n = 2) postpartum to determine whether time of exposure influenced the rate or extent of absorption. Another male calf received 100 mg each of DDE and OCDD 1 h postpartum. One gram of chromic oxide (Cr2O3) was administered as a digestion marker to dosed calves. Two male calves, receiving only colostrum, served as controls. Serum IgG concentrations indicated that the 1-h calves absorbed 20 to 37% of the ingested IgG and 65-h calves < 2%; therefore, the gut absorption mechanisms had changed by 65 h. Plasma DDE, PCB-153, and OCDD profiles did not differ based on time of exposure, suggesting that their mechanism of absorption was not influenced by the changing gut. Trapezoidal area under the curve to the last time point values indicated that, during the trial, relative plasma organochlorine concentrations amounted to PCB-153 > DDE > OCDD. Tissue concentrations were similar across treatment groups, with DDE and PCB-153 residues concentrating in adipose tissue and OCDD in the liver. Absorption efficiencies, calculated from fecal recoveries, were >97%, >74%, and >72% for DDE, PCB-153, and OCDD, respectively. These doses of DDE, PCB-153, and OCDD (2.5 +/- 0.1 mg/kg) did not produce signs of toxicosis based on detailed clinical observations, serum clinical chemistry, and gross and histological observations at necropsy. The results of this study indicate that DDE, PCB-153, and OCDD were absorbed and distributed similarly in calves exposed 1 or 65 h postpartum and did not induce toxicosis when administered in combination at these concentrations.     

Relationship between terrain use and performance of beef cows grazing foothill rangeland

A study was conducted on foothills rangeland to determine whether grazing patterns differed among cow breeds and to determine whether there was a relationship between individual grazing patterns and performance of beef cows. Hereford (HH), Tarentaise (TT), 3/4 Hereford x 1/4 Tarentaise (3H1T), 1/2 Hereford x 1/2 Tarentaise (HT), and 1/4 Hereford x 3/4 Tarentaise (1H3T) cows were observed during the summers of 1997 (n = 183) and 1998 (n = 159). Locations of individual cows were recorded two to three times per week during 1.5- to 2.5-h periods in the morning by observers on horseback. Statistical models included cow breed, age, and nursing status. Data from each year were analyzed separately. During 1997 and 1998, nonlactating cows were located at greater (P < 0.05) vertical distances from water than lactating cows. In 1998, nonlactating cows used steeper (P < 0.05) slopes than lactating cows. However, nonlactating cows did not travel as far horizontally from water (P < 0.05) as lactating cows in 1997. Younger cows (3 yr) traveled further (P < 0.05) from water both vertically and horizontally than older cows (5+ yr) in 1997, but not during 1998. Tarentaise and 1H3T cows were observed at greater (P < 0.05) vertical distances from water than HH cows during both years of the study. During 1998, TT and 1H3T cows used steeper (P < 0.05) slopes than HH cows. Using residual correlations, there were no consistent relationships between topographic aspects of individual grazing locations and cow weight, height, and body condition score. In 1997, cows with earlier calving dates and correspondingly heavier calf weaning weights used areas that had greater vertical distances to water; however, in 1998 there were no relationships (P > 0.05) of calving date and weaning weight with cow location. During both years, pregnant and nonpregnant cows used terrain similarly (P > 0.05), which suggests that cow reproductive performance was not related to terrain use. Grazing patterns in foothills rangeland varied among cow breeds. Performance of cows that used more rugged topography was similar to cows using gentler terrain.     

Suppression of Specific Apple Root Pathogens by Brassica napus Seed Meal Amendment Regardless of Glucosinolate Content

ABSTRACT The impact of Brassica napus seed meal on the microbial complex that incites apple replant disease was evaluated in greenhouse trials. Regardless of glucosinolate content, seed meal amendment at a rate of 0.1% (vol/vol) significantly enhanced growth of apple and suppressed apple root infection by Rhizoctonia spp. and Pratylenchus penetrans. High glucosinolate B. napus cv. Dwarf Essex seed meal amendments did not consistently suppress soil populations of Pythium spp. or apple root infection by this pathogen. Application of a low glucosinolate containing B. napus seed meal at a rate of 1.0% (vol/vol) resulted in a significant increase in recovery of Pythium spp. from apple roots, and a corresponding reduction in apple seedling root biomass. When applied at lower rates, B. napus seed meal amendments enhanced populations of fluorescent Pseudomonas spp., but these bacteria were not recovered from soils amended with seed meal at a rate of 2% (vol/vol). Seed meal amendments resulted in increased soil populations of total bacteria and actinomycetes. B. napus cv. Dwarf Essex seed meal amendments were phytotoxic to apple when applied at a rate of 2% (vol/vol), and phytotoxicity was not diminished when planting was delayed for as long as 12 weeks after application. These findings suggest that B. napus seed meal amendments can be a useful tool in the management of apple replant disease and, in the case of Rhizoctonia spp., that disease control operates through mechanisms other than production of glucosinolate hydrolysis products.     

Abomasal secretion in sheep receiving adult Ostertagia circumcincta that are prevented from contact with the mucosa

AIMS: Both adult and larval Ostertagia circumcincta infections raise abomasal pH and serum gastrin and pepsinogen concentrations, either because of physical effects of the worms or from their chemical secretions. The study was designed to examine whether adult worms require contact with the gastric mucosa to effect changes in gastric secretion. METHODS: Abomasal pH and serum gastrin and pepsinogen concentrations were measured in four groups of sheep: Group A (n = 4): abomasal contents containing about 18,000 adult O. circumcincta were obtained from donor sheep, concentrated and infused into 5 microm mesh porous bags attached to surgically implanted abomasal cannulae. A second worm transplantation was carried out 1 week later to assess worm survival after 16 hours. Group B (n = 4): about 9000 adult worms, recovered after migration out of abomasal contents set in agar, were placed in small 5 microm mesh bags which were inserted through indwelling abomasal cannulae and left for 3 days. Group C (n = 2): about 3000 adult worms from the population recovered from agar were infused through abomasal cannulae which allowed. free movement in the abomasum. Group D (n = 3) was left uninfected. RESULTS: Worms transplanted directly into the abomasum (Group C) caused rapid and marked effects on abomasal secretion. Adult O. circumcincta died within 16 hours of transfer into the abomasum when they were restrained within porous bags. Nevertheless, in sheep receiving 18,000 worms, abomasal pH increased soon after new feed was presented on Days 1, 2 and 4 after worm transfer; serum gastrin was elevated in three sheep from 113 hours and serum pepsinogen increased in one animal. Sheep receiving 9000 worms showed similar trends but the results were equivocal. CONCLUSIONS: Adult O. circumcincta prevented from physical contact with the gastric mucosa by restraint in porous bags are able to raise abomasal pH. This study implicates parasite excretory-secretory products in mediating changes in gastric secretion caused by adult abomasal worms.

Cyclosporin: applications in small animal dermatology

Abstract Cyclosporin has been increasingly used for the treatment of skin diseases in small animals. Reported uses include the treatment of atopy, cutaneous lupus erythematosus, feline acquired alopecia resembling pseudopelade of humans, pemphigus erythematosus, pemphigus foliaceus, perianal fistulae and sebaceous adenitis. In addition, cyclosporin has been used anecdotally for several other skin diseases. Few side effects have been noted at doses therapeutic for dermatologic diseases. Current suggestions for monitoring, and the value of trough cyclosporin serum concentrations for prediction of toxicity and efficacy are discussed.
