This study was conducted to investigate the influence of body position on respiratory compliance and oxygenation during iatrogenic pneumoperitoneum in the rabbit. The peak inspiratory pressure, dynamic compliance, static compliance and arterial gas parameters were calculated and measured 10 min before and 30 min after the creation of pneumoperitoneum with the patient in the horizontal position, 30 min after placing the patient in the Trendelenburg position and 30 min after placing the patient in the reversed Trendelenburg position. Following the creation of pneumoperitoneum and Trendelenburg positioning, there was a significant increase in peak inspiratory pressure while dynamic and static respiratory compliance decreased. Similarly, arterial oxygenation increased during Trendelenburg position while arterial carbon pressure remained within limits during all positions. Overall, the reverse Trendelenburg position did not improve ventilation, neither the oxygenation. However, this position showed to be more appropriate because may reduce the risk of lung injury associated with high-pressure ventilation during pneumoperitoneum.

Nasal polyps are not very common in horses, comprising of just about 2,5 % of equine sinonasal disease (Tremaine and Dixon, 2001). However, nasal polyps can develop into extensive masses, obstructing partially or totally air flow thus giving dramatic clinical presentations. The aim of this report was to present a surgical technique used to successfully remove a massive nasal polyp in a standing mare. A 9 year old mixed-breed mare was referred to the equine teaching hospital of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in Cluj –Napoca for the evaluation of an extensive, unilateral nasal mass. Upon inspection, a cauliflower-appearing mass was protruding from the right nostril. A decision was made to try to surgically remove the mass using a direct approach through a nasal bone flap. Classic approach through the opening of the nostril was impossible due to the extent of the mass. The surgery was performed with the mare standing under sedation and regional anesthesia. The mass was approximately 30 cm by 7 cm and was described histologically as a nasal polyp. The mare made a full recovery, and there was no recurrence in the next three years after surgery.
鼻息肉在马中并不常见，仅占马鼻窦病的2.5% (Tremaine and Dixon, 2001)。然而，鼻息肉可发展成广泛的肿块，部分或全部阻塞气流，从而表现出戏剧性的临床表现。本报告的目的是介绍一种手术技术，用于成功地去除一个巨大的鼻息肉在一个站立的母马。一匹9岁的混血母马被转介到克鲁日纳波卡兽医学院的马教学医院，对广泛的单侧鼻肿块进行评估。经检查，右鼻孔有一菜花状肿块突出。我们决定尝试通过鼻骨瓣直接手术切除肿块。由于肿块的范围，通过鼻孔的传统入路是不可能的。手术是在镇静和局部麻醉下，母马站立进行的。肿块大小约为30cm × 7cm，在组织学上被描述为鼻息肉。这匹母马完全康复，在手术后的三年里没有复发。

Feed autonomy of 15 dairy cattle farms was assessed during the 2019-2020 agricultural campaign. This autonomy is declined according to the food nature (fodder and concentrate) and their composition (dry matter, energy and protein). Autonomy is on average of 74.79% for dry matter, 75.10% for energy and 76.36% for protein. Fodder autonomy is on average of 93.58%, whereas for concentrate, the farms are 100% dependent on the external provision of feed. Overall, the farms produce fodder but in insufficient quantity, they therefore resort to the purchase of hay bales. This is explained by the weakness of the fodder sole and the high consumption of concentrate.

The domestic rabbit is often preferred as an experimental model in diverse research and especially those regarding pathologies of the oral cavity, both in human and veterinary medicine. From five domestic mixed breed rabbits, fragments were harvested from the three regions of the tongue: apex, body and root, for histological investigations. The samples were processed by embedding in paraffin, sectioned at a thickness of 5 µm and stained with Goldner’s trichrome method. The histological examination highlighted the presence of the filiform papillae on the entire dorsal surface of the tongue, with morphological particular carachteristics for each portion. The dimension of the filiform papillae of the rabbit’s tongue differs both regarding the length as well as the thickness and density. The shortest filiform papillae were found on the tip of the tongue, then the length increases progressively, reaching the maximum level on the middle portion and decreases in the last portion. The density also differs, in in the three compartments examined, being the highest in the anterior part and the lowest in the posterior part. The thickness of the filiform papillae is inversely proportional to their density. The thickness of the papillae is smaller where the density is higher and highest where the density is lowest. The upper surface of the filiform papillae is variably keratinized depending on the lingual segment. The papillae with the highest level of keratinization are arranged in the body part of the tongue, and those at the tip and root are slightly lower.

Paratuberculosis (PTCB) or Johne's disease (JD) caused by a slow growing acid fast bacillus Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP), is an infectious disease of many species including humans. The disease is responsible for important economic losses to livestock industry worldwide. Although the disease is widespread, it had not been studied in Algerian sheep. In this study we inspected the presence of the infection in sheep (aged 2 years old or older) using histopathology and IS900-PCR techniques in randomly 378 tissues (ileum, ileoceacale valve and lymph nodes) and fecal samples. Gross lesions were detected in 16 (4%) of samples. Histopathological examination revealed the presence of pathognomonic lesions of JD in 61 (14%) animals. Ziehl-Neelsen (ZN) staining of tissue samples was positive in 28 (7%) cases. MAP-DNA was detected in 34 (9%) fecal samples. 14 (4%) animals were tested positive for antibodies against MAP. This study showed that not only ovine paratuberculosis present in Algeria but infected animals are excreting the bacteria in feces. This could be a significant threat for other ruminants and humans. Other studies should be carried out in order to better understand the prevalence and the molecular epidemiology of MAP in the country.

In this study, the caecum of five guinea pigs was anatomically, histologically, and histochemically analyzed. From an anatomical point of view, it has been proved that the caecum in guinea pigs occupies the caudal segment of the abdominal cavity and consists of three parts: the ampullary portion, the body of the caecum, and the apex of the caecum, without a caecal appendix. In our histological analysis, we observed that the caecum has a simple structure, and the cecal mucosal glands are rare and contain, in addition to enterocytes, a small number of goblet cells, which are better represented in the deep part of the glands. Histochemically it has been observed that goblet cells are PAS and Alcian blue positive, which shows that they secrete both neutral and acidic mucins. The intensity of these two histochemical reactions is similar to that of goblet cells from other intestinal segments, proving that they are typical goblet cells. The large volume of the caecum suggests that this is an important section for the digestion process, although the relatively simple structure of the caecal mucosa suggests that the digestion here is not preponderant, but only complements the intestinal one.

The term dystocia refers to an abnormal birth and the most common cause is an abnormal alignment of the head or forelimbs in the birth canal. Usually in adult horses, acute renal failure occurs as a complication of another disease process that causes hypovolemia . Diarrhea and severe laminitis may develop in more serious cases. The aim of this case report was to present a cesarean section in the mare that evolved with renal failure and subsequent with laminitis. A nine year old Friesian mare was referred to the Veterinary teaching hospital FMV Cluj-Napoca, after a dystocia that could not be resolved conservatively.During surgery, profuse hemorrhage was noticed during the incision and suture of the uterine wall. Hypovolemia was corrected and recovery was uneventful. Two days after surgery, the mare developed acute hyposthenuric renal failure. After 3 days of intensive therapy, kidney function started to improve but the mare developed laminitis. The mare improved over a few weeks and was discharged after orthopedic shoeing. According to the author’s knowledge, this is the first case report of a cesarean section in the mare that evolved into this cascade of sequelae.

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of sprouted fenugreek incorporation into the diet of rabbits on their dairy and growth performances. Data from 24 lactations performed by 8 Californian rabbit does were studied. They were divided into 2 homogeneous groups, a control (batch C) having received an ordinary ration and an experimental (batch E) having received the same ration supplemented with sprouted fenugreek. Growth rates of suckling pups were also recorded. Then, Growth performance of 152 young rabbits’ issue from these females was monitored. They were divided into 4 homogeneous groups, one control having received an ordinary diet (batch C) and 3 experimental having received the same diet with substitution of 12%, 15% and 25% (batch E1, E3 and E3) of the concentrate by sprouted fenugreek. The results showed an improvement in the dairy performance of the rabbit does of batch E, with an average peak lactation of 287 g/d vs 236 g/d in batch C (p <0.01). The daily weight gain of suckling pups was better in batch E (13 g/d vs 11.7 g/d; p <0.01). Likewise, the weaned young rabbits of the experimental batches recorded higher growth rates than the control batch (p <0.01). Sprouted fenugreek incorporation into the rabbit’s ration allowed to improve their performances.

Bovine mastitis is a cause of major financial losses in the dairy industry worldwide. Bovine mastitis is defined as the inflammatory response of the udder tissue due to either physical trauma or infections caused by different microorganisms, especially bacteria. More than 135 pathogenic agents have been identified from bovine mastitis. The aim of the study was to identify the bacterial genera involved in mastitis etiology in cattle and to test the antimicrobial susceptibility to antibiotics. The samples were collected before morning milking and evaluated by microscopic and cultural examination, and further identified using biochemical methods. The evaluation of antimicrobial susceptibility was performed using Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion test. Overall, Staphylococcus spp., Bacillus spp., Streptococcus spp., Micrococcus spp., Escherichia spp. and Trueperella spp. were identified. The most frequent bacterial associations were observed for Staphylococcus-Bacillus, Bacillus-Streptococcus and Staphylococcus-Micrococcus. Regarding the antimicrobial sensitivity profile, the majority of the bacterial strains we have isolated were classified as sensitive, with the exception of Escherichia coli, with one strain being resistant to all tested antibiotics. Among the antimicrobials, the Amoxicillin and clavulanic acid was the most efficient one and Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole did not exhibit an inhibitory activity in 19 milk samples.

The aim of the study was to identify the bacterial genera involved in mastitis etiology in cattle and to test the antimicrobial susceptibility to antibiotics. The samples were collected before morning milking and evaluated by microscopic and cultural examination, and further identified using biochemical methods. The evaluation of antimicrobial susceptibility was performed using Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion test. Overall, Staphylococcus spp., Bacillus spp., Streptococcus spp., Micrococcus spp., Escherichia spp. and Trueperella spp. were identified. The most frequent bacterial associations were observed for Staphylococcus-Bacillus, Bacillus-Streptococcus and Staphylococcus-Micrococcus. Regarding the antimicrobial sensitivity profile, the majority of the bacterial strains we have isolated were classified as sensitive, with the exception of Escherichia coli, with one strain being resistant to all tested antibiotics. Among the antimicrobials, the Amoxicillin and clavulanic acid was the most efficient one and Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole did not exhibit an inhibitory activity in 19 milk samples.","PeriodicalId":9470,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca.

The objective of this study is to reduce the cost of raising beef cattle in Algeria by proposing a Zootechnical fattening protocol for breeders. The study was carried out on mixed-breed young bulls (Charolais x local breeds). Food rations were distributed daily; the first ration (F1) was made up of soybeans while the second ration (F2) was made of tomato pulp supplemented with sodium bicarbonate. Parameters calculated were the Average Daily Gain (ADG), quantity of faeces eliminated, and weight of each bull. The ADG results shown in F1 and F2 are close. The addition of Sodium Bicarbonate in the F2 ration helps to alleviate certain digestive disorders, particularly acidosis and diarrhoea; therefore, reducing the production costs per kg of meat obtained from bulls fed with tomato which was available annually. The proposed protocol improved fillet yield and lowered the cost per kg of meat. It can be applied internationally in any rudimentary livestock farm.
