The present study investigated the antimicrobial activity of enrofloxacin in combination with lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) essential oil against three serotypes of Salmonella: Salmonella Enteritidis ATCC 13076, Salmonella Gallinarum biovar Pullorum ATCC 13036, Salmonella Typhimurium ATCC 14028 and Salmonella Typhimurium – a moderately sensitive monophasic strain. The analysis of the interaction of enrofloxacin with lavender essential oil was carried out using the checkerboard method. The obtained FICI values were interpreted as follows: synergistic when ≤ 0.5; additive when > 0.5 but ≤ 1; non-interactive when > 1 but ≤ 4; antagonistic when > 4. When analysing individual combinations of enrofloxacin with lavender oil, a positive additive effect was found in all cases (S. Enteritidis ATCC 13076 FICI – 0.85; S. Gallinarum biovar Pullorum ATCC 13036 FICI – 1.0; S. Typhimurium ATCC 14028 and S. Typhimurium – a moderately sensitive monophasic strain FICI – 0.7). Antagonistic interaction was not recorded in any case. When analysing individual combinations of enrofloxacin with lavender oil against the serotypes tested, an additive effect was demonstrated in all cases (FIC indices: 0.7-1.0). There was no antagonistic effect in any of the analysed combinations.
本研究研究了恩诺沙星与薰衣草精油联合使用对3种血清型沙门氏菌的抑菌活性:肠炎沙门氏菌ATCC 13076、鸡产沙门氏菌ATCC 13036、鼠伤寒沙门菌ATCC 14028和鼠伤寒沙门菌-一种中等敏感的单菌种。采用棋盘格法对恩诺沙星与薰衣草精油的相互作用进行了分析。得到的FICI值解释如下:≤0.5时具有协同效应;> 0.5但≤1时可加;当> 1但≤4时不相互作用;bbbb4时拮抗。当分析恩诺沙星与薰衣草油的个别组合时,发现所有病例都有正的加性效应(肠炎沙门氏菌ATCC 13076 FICI - 0.85;Gallinarum biovar Pullorum ATCC 13036 FICI - 1.0;鼠伤寒沙门氏菌ATCC 14028和鼠伤寒沙门氏菌-一种中等敏感的单相菌株FICI - 0.7)。在任何情况下均未记录拮抗相互作用。当分析恩诺沙星与薰衣草油的个别组合对所测试的血清型时,在所有病例中都证明了加性效应(FIC指数:0.7-1.0)。所分析的任何组合均无拮抗作用。

A 3-year-old Leonberger was presented with unilateral atrophy of the left temporal muscle, concomitant left corneal hypoesthesia and jaw pain. Based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) results, a trigeminal peripheral nerve sheath tumor was presumptively diagnosed, and treatment based on volumetric modulated arc therapy combined with temozolomide was introduced. Although the tumor volume was stable, after 6 months the patient developed severe jaw pain manifested by rubbing of the face, aversion to eating, and yawning. No desirable response to combinations of meloxicam, gabapentin, tramadol/buprenorphine at their maximal tolerated doses was achieved. Only a treatment based on a commercially available nonpsychoactive cannabinoid oil – Perognidol® (Ilovet) combined with gabapentin successfully relieved the symptoms of pain within a week. Three months later, a follow-up MRI revealed a significant growth of the tumor associated with cerebral infiltration. Eventually, the general condition of the patient deteriorated. The dog was euthanized 800 days after the original diagnosis.

Interactions between various cell types in a tumor microenvironment (TME) are important for cancer progression and metastasis. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) play a key role in this intratumoral dialogue regulating Wnt signaling pathway in cancer cells. Co-culture of canine and murine tumor cells with TAMs lead to inhibition of the canonical Wnt pathway and activation of the non-canonical Wnt pathway in tumor cells resulting in change in tumor cell phenotype and subsequent higher potential to invasion and metastasis. These molecular changes in cancer cells that are induced by TAMs resemble the quercetin activity. This natural product is a plant flavonoid from the group of polyphenols. Its biological function is inhibition of the canonical Wnt pathway. As quercetin supplementation is broadly discussed in cancer patients, findings of this study show that this compound should be used with caution, as it may enhance cancer spread.

A normal thyroid gland is difficult to distinguish from the surrounding tissues. Its enlargement, referred to as goiter, is most often found in newborn kids, less often in adult animals. Feeding errors, such as incorrect iodine content in the ration or the presence of goitrogens, may contribute to its formation. The occurrence of goiter may also have a genetic basis. Mutation within the TG gene leads to abnormal synthesis of thyroglobulin – a protein essential in the synthesis and storage of thyroid hormones. In Poland, the most common problem is congenital goitre, with a genetic background, caused by an increase in inbreeding in the herd.

Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) and bluetongue disease (BT) are two of the most devastating viral diseases affecting domestic and wild ruminants. They cause significant economic losses, and vaccination is the most important method for combating both FMD and BT. Simultaneous vaccinations are crucial for animal welfare as well as labor and cost savings. No reports were found on the simultaneous administration of FMD and BT vaccines to sheep. This study evaluated the effect of the simultaneous administration of an inactivated FMD vaccine and an attenuated BT vaccine on the humoral immune response to both diseases. A total of 75 sixmonth- old Akkaraman-Kıvırcık crossbred sheep that did not have any vaccination history were used as research material. Before the experiment, the animals were tested for the absence of FMD and BT antibodies. The sheep were divided into three experimental groups and vaccinated with an FMD vaccine alone, a BT vaccine alone, and both. Blood samples were taken on days 30 and 60 post-vaccination. The blood samples were evaluated using liquid-phase blocking ELISA (LPBE) and virus neutralization test (VNT) for FMD antibodies, as well as competitive ELISA (c-ELISA) and VNT for BT antibodies. The study revealed that differences between the FMD and BT antibody titers of the group vaccinated simultaneously and the FMD and BT antibody titers obtained from the groups vaccinated separately were not statistically significant (p > 0.05). It was concluded that the antibody response these diseases was not altered when the FMD and BT vaccines were administered together.

e aim of this study was to evaluate the composition and quality parameters of Simmental and Holstein cows’ milk with different lactation stages under the same environmental conditions. Multiparous Holstein and Simmental cows from different lactation stages (n = 210) were included in the present study. MDA, SCC, composition, and fatty acid analyzes were performed from the collected milk samples. To determine the effect of breed, lactation stage and their interactions, linear mixed models were applied to these parameters. Among the breeds, only milk fat and pH were determined statistically significant as composition parameters. While C15:0 and C17:1 n8 were observed to be statistically significant for the breed factor, C18:2 n6 trans were statistically significant only for the lactation stage factor. Moreover, the fatty acids of C4:0, C6:0, C8:0, C10:0, C11:0, C12:0, C13:0, C16:0, C18:1 n9, C20:0 and C22:6 n3 were determined to be statistically significant in terms of interactions. For the fatty acid indices, SCFA, MCFA, n3 and n6/n3 were statistically significant in terms of interactions while SFA, MUFA, UFA and AI were statistically significant in terms of breeds. On the other hand, new studies are needed to investigate the differences between these breeds at the molecular level for milk quality and fatty acid synthesis.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of congenital anomalies in calves brought to the Ondokuz Mayıs University, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine animal hospital surgery clinic between 2010 and 2020. The study material consisted of 140 calves with anomalies of different races and genders. Gender was examined for its effect on the formation of anomaly types and found to be a statistically insignificant factor (P > 0.05). Simmental calves had a statistically significant higher number of digestive system anomaly diagnoses than Holstein calves (P <0.01). Simmental calves were found to have a 2.85 times higher risk of digestive system anomalies than Holstein calves. The predisposition of atresia ani according to race or gender was not statistically significant in digestive system anomalies, but males tended to be more disadvantaged in general. Similarly, it was determined that the gender and race predisposition for atresia coli anomaly was statistically significant (P <0.05), and males were significantly more prone to this anomaly than females by 3.33 times (P <0.05). When musculoskeletal anomalies were compared based on race, the distribution of susceptibility was found to be significant (P <0.01). Simmental and Holstein breeds were shown to have a 5.84 times higher risk than other breeds in this anomaly category, with Simmental breeds having a 5.32 times higher risk than Holsteins in the Samsun region of Turkey. As a result, it was concluded that breed selection is critical in cow breeding to limit the likelihood of congenital abnormalities.

The aim of the study was to morphologically and genetically compare parasitic nematodes from the genus Uncinaria found in different hosts. These common parasites belong to hookworm nematodes (family Ancylostomatidae). Worms were collected during dissection of mammals obtained from the Institute of Veterinary Hygiene in Warsaw, where the animals had been tested for rabies. The hosts of the nematodes were European badgers (Meles meles) from the family Mustelidae, as well as red foxes (Vulpes vulpes), dogs (Canis familiaris), and raccoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides) from the family Canidae. The parasites were viewed under a microscope, and identified on the basis of their morphological features characteristic of the species U. stenocephala. Isolated, PCR-amplified, and sequenced rDNA segments containing internal transcribed spacer segments (ITS1 and ITS2) in the gene encoding 5.8S rDNA were also compared. No genetic or morphological differences were found between Uncinaria hookworms obtained from the four different host species. This means that wild raccoon dogs and badgers can be a source and reservoir for the hookworm U. stenocephala that infects dogs.

Tumors of the reproductive system in bitches can affect any of its anatomical structures. The predominant lesions are those appearing in the vagina and vulva, accounting for about 2.4-3% of all tumors in bitches, followed by ovarian tumors – 0.5-1.2%, while uterine tumors are rare and it is difficult to even estimate their incidence. The most common type of ovarian tumor is granulosa cell tumor (GCT), which originates from the granulosa cells of the Graff follicle. In the uterus, vagina and vulva, the most common is smooth-cell myoma (leiomyoma), along with its malignant types (leiomyosarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma), derived from mesenchymal tissue. Diagnosis of these lesions is mainly based on a detailed clinical examination, vaginoscopy, imaging tests (ultrasound, X-ray, CT) and evaluation of sex hormone levels. However, accurate differentiation of tumors is possible only by histopathological examination. The most effective method of treatment is the surgical removal of diagnosed tumors. The paper presents our own clinical cases of tumors of different parts of the reproductive system in bitches: ovarian tumors (GCT); uterine tumors (leyomyoma); and tumors of the vagina and vulva (fibromyoma, leyomyoma). Moreover, the numerous illustrations included in the paper, documenting the mentioned cases, are a valuable addition to the publication.

The predominant lesions are those appearing in the vagina and vulva, accounting for about 2.4-3% of all tumors in bitches, followed by ovarian tumors – 0.5-1.2%, while uterine tumors are rare and it is difficult to even estimate their incidence. The most common type of ovarian tumor is granulosa cell tumor (GCT), which originates from the granulosa cells of the Graff follicle. In the uterus, vagina and vulva, the most common is smooth-cell myoma (leiomyoma), along with its malignant types (leiomyosarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma), derived from mesenchymal tissue.
