A total of twenty-four (n = 24) Kano Brown goats (KBGs) aged 1–2 years, weighing an average of 15.52 kg, were recruited for the study. Rumen skin clamp fixation (RSCF) and a stay suture rumenotomy (SSR) in lateral recumbency while standing restraint rumenotomy was aided by a locally fabricated mobile small ruminant surgical chute (MSRSC) were performed in groups A, B, and D, respectively, as control group C had no surgery. Six goats were allocated to each group such that each group had 3 males and females that were positive for rumen foreign body impaction (RFBI), except goats in group C that were free of RFBI. Pre- and post-rumenotomy values of vital parameters did not differ significantly (P > 0.05). The group A serum IL-6 concentrations at 72 hours post-rumenotomy (61.21 ± 44.52 ng/L) were significantly higher (P < 0.05) than those in group D (15.24 ± 3.09 ng/L) among the female KBGs. The concentrations of IL-6 at week 1 post-rumenotomy in group A were significantly higher (65.05 ± 31.11 ng/L) than in groups B (15.86 ± 0.29), D (18.75 ± 5.81) and C (14.86 ± 0.79 ng/L). The lack of significant changes in the mean values of rectal temperature, respiratory rate, and heart rate implies that the standing rumenotomy utilizing the MSRSC did not vary in surgical stress severity from the conventional approaches; RSCF and SSR, done in lateral recumbency. The IL-6 in group D was lower when compared to the values in group A females at 72 hours and at week 1 for the male KBGs, suggesting profound surgical stress among females and males in groups A and B over group D. Standing restraints cause less surgical stress than lateral recumbency restraints, making it a better procedural approach for rumenotomy in goats.","PeriodicalId":17442,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences","volume":"32 10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82759070","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study was to isolate and identify dermatophytes from the skin of cattle presented for slaughter at Zango abattoir, Zaria, Nigeria. Samples were aseptically collected from twenty (20) cattle, cultured at room temperature for one to four weeks in Sabouraud’s Dextrose Agar (SDA). Growth from pure SDA cultures were sub-cultured on Potato dextrose agar and further incubated at room temperature for one to four weeks. Twelve animals were positive for dermatophytes either by microscopy, culture or both, thus producing an incidence of 60% with respect to the total number of the samples investigated (20). One (1) sample was positive by microscopy but eleven (11) were positive by both microscopy and culture. A large spectrum of dermatophytes consisting of eight species were recovered in the study. They were mostly zoophilic species which included M. canis, T. mentagrophytes, T. verrucosum, M. distortum and T. gallinae. Others were Geophilic specie (M. gypseum) and Anthropophilic species (T. soudanense and T. rubrum). M. canis was the most predominant species consisting of 41.7%. This study clearly demonstrated that cattle dermatophytoses in the study location was caused by different dermatophyte species with M. canis as the most prevalent. Some of the organisms are zoonotic, with public health relevance to animal handlers and butchers.","PeriodicalId":17442,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences","volume":"80 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90299975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study was carried out to investigate the impact of 21 days exposure of Gwagwalada landfill leachate on sexual behaviour, reproductive hormonal imbalance, gonadal and extra-gonadal sperm reserve depletion and histopathology of the testis and epididymis of adult male Wistar rats. Twenty (20) adults male Wistar rats were used and randomly selected into two (2) groups. Group A were fed with normal rat chow and tap water as drinking water ad libitum while Group B were fed with normal rat chow and 10% of Gwagwalada landfill leachate as drinking water ad libitum. Exposure was for 21 days. Results showed that exposure to GLL induced decreased mount frequency and increased mount latency as well as decreased serum concentrations of LH, FSH and testosterone. Also, there was marked weight loss of the testis (especially the left) with different morpho-phenotypic pathologies of the testis and epididymis. The present study has demonstrated the detrimental effects of Gwagwalada landfill leachate to adult males.","PeriodicalId":17442,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76484210","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 141 (108 hens and 33 cocks) matured quails of about 11 weeks of age were used for the experiment, of which 54 hens were inseminated with Citric-quail egg albumen extended semen collected from 15 fertile cocks. Another 54 hens were naturally mated by another 18 fertile cocks in a ratio of one cock to three hens (1:3). Eggs collected from both naturally mated and artificially inseminated birds were incubated for 18 days. The percentage of incubated eggs that were fertile when candled on the 7th and 12th day and hatch-out analysis after the 18th day of incubation tested fertility. Hatchability was tested by the percentage number of fertile eggs that hatched. Naturally mated and artificially inseminated hens’ eggs had a fertility of 84.0 % and 73.3 %, and a hatchability of 82.5 % and 85.5 %, respectively. The study revealed no significant difference in the frequency of fertile or hatched Japanese quail eggs (χ2 cal < χ critical at 5% or 1% level of probability). Naturally mated and artificially inseminated birds had relative fertile egg rates of 53.4 % and 46.6 %, respectively, and relative egg hatching rates of 52.5% and 47.5 %, respectively. Artificial insemination had the advantage of introducing the same volume of semen to more quail hens than a single cock in a natural mating process. However, natural mating was recommended over artificial insemination in the study area because of the technical constraints that required more workforce and amenities in the insemination process. The authors recommended research on developing restraint instruments and non-electrical semen storage methods for quail birds.

Ten (10) apparently healthy local dogs comprising of five (5) females and five (5) males with Mean ± SD body weight of 20.4 ± 2.93 kg sought from Maiduguri and environs and randomly allocated into two groups A (n=5), B (n=5) were used to conduct the experiment for this study. Total Intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) was induced in all the dogs. Dogs in group A were premedicated with an intravenous injection of 0.005 mg/kg Medetomidine, followed by an intravenous injection of 0.25 mg/kg Diazepam and 4 mg/kg Ketamine combination 3 – 5 minutes later. Meanwhile group B dogs were given an intravenous injection of Medetomidine (0.005 mg/kg) and Ketamine (5 mg/kg) combination. Blood sample was collected for haematological analysis while serum was collected to assay Total protein (TP), Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and Creatinine (Cr) using standard laboratory protocols. There was no significant difference (p>0.05) in the measured haematological indices, ALT, BUN, Cr and TP in both groups A and B throughout the study. However, there was non-significant decrease in ALT, BUN, Cr and TP in both groups up to 30 minutes post administration of the drug combinations but return to almost baseline values at 60 minutes post anaesthesia. The results of this study showed that intravenous administration of Medetomidine-Diazepam-Ketamine and Medetomidine-Ketamine combinations have no significant effects on haematological indices and serum chemistry profile of dogs. Therefore, these anaesthetic combinations can be prescribed for clinical use and procedures in dogs.","PeriodicalId":17442,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences","volume":"96 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85104114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
