The separation of peripheral blood cells of the horse. The peripheral blood cells from Standard bred horses were subjected to procedures which will separate equine peripheral blood cells with good precision and efficiency into red cell, leukocyte, and platelet fractions. The separated cells have normal morphology and the differential count of the separated granulocytes and lymphocytes is unchanged from that of the original sample.
Plasmapheresis of horses by extracorporeal circulation of blood. A simple apparatus is described for the collection of plasma from horses while maintaining their blood in extracorporeal circulation. Using this device, nearly 2.5 kg of plasma protein was collected from a horse during a period of 3 weeks without any obvious adverse effect upon the animal. The blood’s packed cell volume showed little variation throughout this period, although its content of plasma protein was found to fall. The normal plasma protein level was almost completely re-established after 3 weeks rest. A horse immunized with tetanus toxoid and subjectcd to repeated cycles of plasmap...
Serum levels of the immunoglobulins IgG and IgG(T) in horses. Levels of the immunoglobulins IgG and IgG(T) in serum in Norwegian horses of the breeds “Døle” and “Fjord” were determined by the quantitative radial immunodiffusion test. No significant differences were apparent between the 2 Norwegian breeds. The immunoglobulin levels were approximately in the same range as previously reported for Shetland ponies. Immunoglobulins could not be detected in the newborn foal. As early as 24 hrs. after birth the mean immunoglobulin level was within the adult range. After a drop during the first month of life, the immunoglobulins increased. IgG(T) rose mo...
Occurrence of antibodies to group specific chlamydia antigen in Finnish sheep, cattle and horse sera. A serological survey on the occurrence of group-specific chlamydial antibodies in random sera of Finnish sheep, cattle and horses was performed. The whole material consisted of 1347 serum samples, including 432 ovine, 454 bovine and 461 equine sera. The sera were sent to the laboratory for various serological tests during 1968–1972. Of the ovine sera 9.5%, bovine 12.8 % and equine 7.1 % showed a titer ≥ 1:16 in the complement fixation test. No definite geographic differences could be found in the distribution of the herds which showed positive results. The ubiquity of chlamydial infections...
Progesterone concentrations in the peripheral plasma of the mare during pregnancy. Progesterone concentration was measured by a protein-binding assay in peripheral plasma samples taken from 8 thoroughbred mares throughout pregnancy and for 2 days after parturition. There were considerable differences between individuals at any one time in gestation but, on average, levels rose during the first 60 days of gestation, fell to a minimum at about 180 days when the accessory corpora lutea regress and finally reached their highest mean value of 11.5 mg/ml±1.2 (S.E.M.) during the period 270 days to term, significantly higher than the mean, 7.6 ng/ml±0.5 (S.E.M) for the whole of ge...
The physiological and biochemical response of standardbred horses to exercise of varying speed and duration. LINDHOLM, ARNE and BENGT SALTIN: The physiological and biochemical response of standardbred horses to exercise of varying speed and duration. Acta vet. scand. 1974, 15, 310–324. — Welltrained standardbred horses were studied to examine the metabolic response to excercise of various speeds and duration. Comparisons between interval (400, 700, 1,000 and 2,000 m) and continuous trotting (1 hr., 2 hrs.) and racing were made. Muscle and rectal temperatures were recorded before and immediately after each work bout. Heart rate was linearly related to trotting speed, and maximal heart rate (240 be...
Acute rhabdomyolysis (“tying-up”) in standardbred horses. A morphological and biochemical study. LINDHOLM, A., H.-E. JOHANSSON & P. KJÆRSGAARD: Acute rhabdomyolysis (“tying-up”) in standardbred horses. A morphological and biochemical study. Acta vet. scand. 1974, 15, 325–339. — Morphological, biochemical and histochemical changes were studied in muscle needle biopsy specimens (gluteus medius) from 59 standardbred trotters with acute clinical symptoms of the “tying-up” disease. All horses had increased levels of serum enzymes SGOT and SCPK. The biopsy specimens were taken at various intervals after onset of clinical symptoms (1–4 hrs., 18–24 hrs. and 2–20 days). Ry light...

Electrical dose for ventricular defibrillation of large and small animals using precordial electrodes. Electrical ventricular defibrillation of heavy subjects (over 100 kg body weight) is uncommon for the human or any animal species. This paper reports trans-chest ventricular defibrillation of subjects ranging in weight from 2.3 to 340 kg using conventional defibrillation current (heavily damped sine wave) of 0.3-30 ms duration. It was found that a body weight-to-electrical-shock strength relationship exists and can be expressed in terms of either electrical energy or peak current. For the duration of current pulse used clinically (3-10 ms), the relationship between energy requirement and body ...
