Radiation therapy is a good method for loco-regional tumor control, especially in inoperable tumors. Since the organs in the pelvic area are sensitive to both acute and late radiation damage (chronic diarrhea, bleeding, strictures or intestinal perforations) and such damage mainly depends on the fraction size, we examined the radiation protocol used in this study with a reduced number of fractions (hypofractionated) regarding effectiveness and side effects. This retrospective study describes 13 dogs with macroscopic anal gland carcinoma that were irradiated with imaging-guided, intensity-modulated radiation therapy with a hypofractionated curative protocol of 12 × 3,8 Gy. Gross pathology was either in the region of the anal gland and/or in the sublumbar lymph nodes. Ten of the 13 dogs had advanced tumor diseases (stage 3a or 3b). The acute radiation reactions were mild to moderate and had been reported for some of the dogs in a previous study. The mean study time was 572 days (range 105-1292 days). Disease progression was observed or suspected in 7/13 dogs during the study period: local or loco-regional progression occurred in 3 dogs (23 %) and distant metastases in 4 dogs (31 %).

The stomach and duodenum of referred untreated horse patients (n=92) with colic, weight loss, diarrhoea, anemia or performance intolerance were endoscopically examined right after the admission. Duodenal fluid (40 ml) was collected from the duodenal region where the papilla duodeni major is located. Hematology and clinical chemistry data were examined. The concentration of glyphosate in serum and duodenal fluid samples were analysed using a competitive ELISA and control analysis had also been done with HPLC.

The feed used was examined for nutrient content and hygiene status according to the standards of the Verband Deutscher Landwirtschaftlicher Untersuchungs- und Forschungsanstalten (VDLUFA). Twenty adult pregnant warmblood mares were fed in two groups (n=10) with a defined amount of alfalfa hay or meadow hay in a controlled study with a wash-out phase and subsequent crossing of the groups. Alfalfa hay intake was observed daily, and bodyweight was recorded weekly. On day 0 (T0) and day 28 (T28) of each study period, fresh faecal samples were collected and analyzed for pH, dry matter (DM) and short-chain fatty acids (SCFA). The hygienic quality of the alfalfa and meadow hay was slightly reduced (quality level II) on average. The intake of the alfalfa hay was carried out in all mares without backweighing.
