Abstract

Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia is an important disease of cattle. Many strategies employed for its eradication and control have had shortcomings. This study was conducted to determine the effects of long acting Oxytetracycline on its course. The study involved 30 indigenous zebu cattle sourced from an area free of the disease, infected by contact transmission and randomly allocated to Oxytetracycline or saline treatment groups. Clinical observations were recorded on the two groups concurrently. Cattle were tested for the disease using complement fixation test. The mean clinical scores of the groups for each observation was compared post treatment on GENSTAT using unpaired t-test for single sample in groups. Full post-mortem was conducted on the cattle and samples collected for Mmm SC isolation. The clinical scores were worse in the control treatment group; there was no fever in the Oxytetracycline-treated group post treatment. Lesions were observed in 93% of the control and 27% of the Oxytetracycline-treated group. In this study, as in others, Oxytetracycline was shown to lower the severity of the clinical signs of the disease. This is important at slaughter houses meat inspection where decision on whether to pass or condemn the animal is based on the clinical signs and post-mortem findings. Keywords:  Contagious bovine Pleuropneumonia, Oxytetracycline, Bovine respiratory distress, Trans- boundary diseases
长效土霉素对实验性感染牛传染性胸膜肺炎的影响
传染性牛胸膜肺炎是牛的一种重要疾病。许多根除和控制疟疾的战略都有缺点。本研究旨在确定长效土霉素对其病程的影响。该研究涉及来自无该病地区的30头本地zebu牛,它们通过接触传播感染,并随机分配到土霉素或生理盐水治疗组。同时记录两组患者的临床观察。用补体固定试验对牛进行了疾病检测。在GENSTAT治疗后,采用组内单样本的未配对t检验比较各组每次观察的平均临床评分。对牛进行了全面的尸检,并收集了用于分离Mmm SC的样本。对照组临床评分较对照组差;土霉素组治疗后无发热现象。93%的对照组和27%的土霉素治疗组出现病变。在这项研究中,正如在其他研究中一样,土霉素被证明可以降低疾病临床症状的严重程度。这在屠宰场的肉类检查中很重要,因为屠宰场的肉类检查是基于临床症状和尸检结果来决定是否通过或谴责动物。关键词:传染性牛胸膜肺炎,土霉素,牛呼吸窘迫,跨界疾病
