<b>Effects of three dehorning techniques on behavior and wound healing in feedlot cattle</b>.
<i>Journal of Animal Science, 92</i>(5), 2225-2229. <o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The researchers investigated behavior and wound healing associated with dehorning methods over a 4-week period by dividing feedlot cattle into a control group and 3 treatment groups as follows:
banded using a Callicrate Bander, mechanical removal using a Keystone dehorner, and tipped using a hand saw. Factors investigated during the procedure included chute behavior and vocalization; and factors investigated following the procedure included depression,
gait/posture, appetite, and lying. Banding was found to be poor with some bands falling off and some banded horns still remaining after 4 weeks. Pain behavior and wound healing from banding appeared higher post-procedure than mechanical removal and tipped.
The authors concluded that banding is not an effective alternative to mechanical dehorning. Mechanical removal had the highest pain behavior during the procedure, but it was very short term; and wound healing was better than banding. The tipped procedure
was very similar to the control group with no apparent pain or healing issues; however, the full benefits of dehorning might not be achieved without complete removal of the horn. While the tipped procedure fared the best in terms of pain behavior and wound
healing, additional research is needed to evaluate the presence and size of tipped horns on carcass bruising and performance.

<b>Evidence of passive faecal shedding of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis in a Limousin cattle herd</b>.
<i>The Veterinary Journal</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Cattle with positive results for Johne’s disease are considered either active or passive shedders. Active shedders are truly infected with Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP).
Passive shedders are not infected but have ingested MAP from the environment or contaminated feed, and it is simply passing through their digestive tract. The researchers aim was to continually remove heavy shedders from an infected closed herd (41 animals
at beginning) and evaluate passive shedding on the interpretation of data using fecal PCR over a 53-month period. Culture results are considered the gold standard, but reliable and useful PCR results could decrease the time and expense associated with testing
(PCR also detects dead DNA while culturing will only grow viable virus). This study used culturing, PCR, ELISA, and pathological investigation of tissues at slaughter to achieve their objective. Samples were collected and tested at the begging and at 4,
9, 12, 17, 24, 30, 36, 43, 48 and 53 months after the first collection. Any cows identified as heavy shedders were removed following each sampling point. They found evidence of passive shedding using the PCR data and reaffirmed that a single heavy shedder
increases the number of passive shedding cows meaning sporadic positive results can appear in non-infected cows. PCR was not reliable in labeling cows as heavy/low shedders, but could be reliable for removing heavy shedders with repeated testing every 2-4
months. The researchers concluded that heavy shedders can cause susceptible cows to be temporarily contaminated with MAP detectable by PCR but not culture, and that 3 consecutive positive PCR results will reliably identify an infected animal that should be
culled. In addition, repeated non-consecutive low MAP concentrations identified by PCR likely indicate passive shedding (adding a positive ELISA result to these animals indicates a suspect to be watched more closely).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<b>Technical note: Physiological response of beef heifers after receiving a reused controlled internal drug release insert processed with different heat-treating methods</b>.
<i>Journal of Animal Science, 92</i>(5), 2275-2279. <o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The researchers evaluated previously used controlled internal drug release (CIDR) inserts and the effects of various heating/processing methods on concentrations of progesterone after reinsertion
into beef heifers. Previous research has indicated that autoclaving is a potential means to safely and effectively reuse CIDR inserts; however, autoclaves are not common on farms and some producers have tried alternative methods of heat processing/sterilization
such as using a dishwasher, microwave, household oven, clothes dryer, or sunlight. All used CIDR inserts were washed and brushed in warm water, rinsed with Nolvasan, air dried, and stored for 6 months prior to receiving any treatment. A control group using
new CIDR inserts was compared to treatment groups with reused CIDRs grouped as follows: no heat treatment; autoclaved; household dishwasher; microwave; household oven; clothes dryer; boiling water; and environmental exposure to sun, rain, wind, etc. Various
blood samples were collected to measure progesterone concentrations. The findings showed that reusing with or without on-farm processing methods did not have comparable progesterone release to new or autoclaved CIDRs. The authors concluded that autoclaved
CIDRs did have higher concentrations than new CIDRs during the first 24 hours, but new CIDRs had sustained concentrations of progesterone that were greater than all other treatments from Day 5 after insertion until the time of CIDR removal on Day 7.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<b>Effects of abdominocentesis technique on peritoneal fluid and clinical variables in horses</b>.
<i>Equine Veterinary Education, 26</i>(5), 262-268.<o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The researchers aim was to determine if abdominocentesis with a sharp-tipped needle was superior to abdominocentesis with a blunt-tipped cannula with respect to successfully obtaining peritoneal
fluid, complications during and after abdominocentesis, and iatrogenically induced changes in peritoneal fluid variables over time. Operators selected for the study were well-trained but inexperienced; thus, they had not developed personal bias or greater
proficiency in using a particular technique. The authors concluded that both techniques appeared safe and effective and neither was found to be clearly superior to the other. They did find that using a blunt-tipped cannula resulted in more subcutaneous swelling
after 24 hours.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<b>Use of ponazuril paste to treat coccidiosis in shelter-housed cats and dogs</b>.
<i>Veterinary Parasitology, 202</i>, 319-325.<o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The researchers objective was to determine the efficacy of using ponazuril paste on dogs and cats with coccidiosis. They used dogs and cats with confirmed cases of coccidiosis at the PAWS
Chicago animal shelter. Treatment groups included 50 mg/kg for 3 days, 50 mg/kg as a single dose, and 20 mg/kg as a single dose. They determined that both single dose treatments with ponazuril were not effective. The 50mg/kg for 3 days dosage did not always
reduce the infection to undetectable levels. They concluded with recommendations for using 50mg/kg for 3 days followed by fecal flotation and then repeat if detectable oocysts are found. In addition, they recommend that environmental exposure should be reduced
by cleaning facilities and bathing animals.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
