Survey of infectious multiple drug resistance among salmonella isolated from animals in the United States. Salmonella cultures were obtained from outbreaks of animal disease from 37 states and 1 territory. They were screened for resistance to 11 antimicrobial drugs. Of the 1,251 strains studied, 935 were resistant to one or more of these agents. The three most common resistance patterns were ampicillin, dihydrostreptomycin, sulfamethoxypyridazine, tetracycline; ampicillin, dihydrostreptomycin, sulfamethoxypyridazine; dihydrostreptomycin, sulfamethoxypyridazine, tetracycline. Resistance transfer was demonstrated on 267 multiply resistant cultures, of which 181 were able to transfer all or part of th...
Apparent digestion in various segments of the digestive tract of ponies fed diets with varying roughage-grain ratios. Eleven ponies were fed diets containing 1:0, 3:2 or 1:4 forage-grain ratios for 30 days. Animals were killed 4 hr. after feeding and the entire digestive tracts were removed and segments isolated. Digestion coefficients were calculated for dry matter, protein, available carbohydrate (ACHO) and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) by Cr2O3-nutrient ratio for seven segments of the gut.
The major site of ACHO and protein digestion was prececal; whereas, the major sites of NDF digestion were the colon and cecum regardless of the hay:grain ratio. Therefore the relative importance of digestion in the lo...
Calcium metabolism in ponies fed a high phosphorus diet. Calcium metabolism was studied by combined metabolic balance and kinetic methods in four young Shetland ponies fed a diet containing 0.4% calcium and either 0.2% or 1.2% phosphorus in a replicated 2 × 2 Latin square experimental design. Phosphorus retention and plasma phosphorus concentration were greater when the ponies were fed the high phosphate diet. The high phosphate intake decreased calcium absorption, urinary excretion and retention but increased total and endogenous fecal calcium excretion. However, the ponies were in positive calcium balance when fed either the basal or high phospha...
Chronic progressive pododermatitis in the horse. Sixteen cases of chronic hoof changes seen in Standardbred trotters are described. The chief defect is decomposition of the horn. The disease process usually commences on the weight-bearing surface and spreads to underrun both the sole and wall. Histopathological studies revealed marked swelling and vacuolation of the cells of the stratum corneum, increased proliferation in the stratum germinativum, and monocytic infiltration in the corium. Treatment comprised complete removal of underrun horn and exposure of the affected area. In severe cases, a course of penicillin is administered. The lengt...
Metabolism of immunoglobulin-G in the horse. The metabolism of immunoglobulin classes has been closely examined in several animal species. Although the horse has received much attention in experimental and applied immunology there seems to be little information available on immunoglobulin kinetics in this species. The present report describes the metabolism of equine IgG in 4 healthy, normoimmunoglobulinaemic horses, in 1 horse with hyperimmunoglobulinaemia and in 1 horse with relatively low immunoglobulin levels.
