It is associated with formation of cysts in the kidneys. This article describes the clinical, pathology and immunohistochemistry findings of PKD in a Siberian hybrid tiger. A 16-year-old female captive Siberian hybrid tiger showed inappetence, weight loss, polyuria, and polydipsia. Within six months, its body weight and hydration status were progressively declining. Although hematology parameters were normal, serum creatinine and urea levels were elevated. Ultrasonography of the kidneys showed the presence of cysts. The animal was euthanized and necropsied, revealing multiple cysts in both kidneys and liver. These samples were subjected to histopathology using routine stain, special histochemistry, and immunohistochemistry. The cysts were lined by various types of epithelial cells. Most renal tubular epithelium showed severe vacuolar degeneration, accompanied by bacterial colonies in the renal pelvis. Masson’s trichrome stain demonstrated presence of mesenchymal stroma at the periphery of the cysts in the kidneys and liver. Immunohistochemistry showed different staining intensity of β-catenin, E-cadherin, and vimentin in the various parts of renal tubules, suggesting the involvement of epithelial-mesenchymal transformation. The tiger was diagnosed with PKD based on clinical and pathological examination. This is the first report of PKD in a tiger, potentially useful for future study in wildlife medicine and conservation.","PeriodicalId":36378,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Integrative Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41826794","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}

Histopathologic diagnosis of each neoplasia was performed using its published diagnosis criteria. The neoplasms were categorized into epithelial, mesenchymal and round-cell neoplasms. Their parameters were related to sex, breed, and neoplastic location. The study consequence revealed that benign neoplasms occurred in the same frequency as malignant neoplasia. Some neoplasms were sex-dependent, particularly mammary adenocarcinoma in females and perianal (hepatoid) gland adenoma in males. The purebred dogs were prone to the malignant mammary gland and benign mesenchymal neoplasia; meanwhile, the crossbred dogs had more frequencies of benign epithelial, benign round cell and malignant mesenchymal neoplasms than the purebreds. The buttock and head were the primary locations of benign epithelial neoplasms. The mammary gland was common for mammary cancers, while the hindlimb was the predilection site of the malignant mesenchymal neoplasia. These results are similar to the thosedescribed in the previous studies from other regions of Thailand and the rest of the world with a few different points. Therefore, regional veterinarians, particularly in Chonburi province, can confidently use our study findings to set up their preliminary diagnoses for their neoplastic patients.","PeriodicalId":36378,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Integrative Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46652113","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 objective of this study was to evaluate the rumen in vitro gas production and fermentation characteristics of four tropical seaweed species. The design of treatments was a randomized complete block design with four different seaweed species (brown seaweed: Laminaria sp. and Padina australis; red seaweed: Gracilaria sp. and Eucheuma cottonii) and four replications for each treatment. For the gas production, easily degraded fraction (a), potentially degraded fraction (b), rate of gas production of b fraction (c), and total fraction degraded (a+b) parameters of brown seaweed were higher and faster than those of red seaweed. The lowest methane production at 24 hours incubation was obtained for Gracilaria sp., which reduced methane production from blank (44.38%) and standard (Pangola substrate) samples (60.63%), followed by Padina australis at 28.98 and 49.73% respectively. Padina australis resulted in the highest propionate proportion (16.03%), lowest butyrate (11.92%) and A:P ratio (4.52) (P<0.05). There were no differences in NH3 (34.17-37.31 mg/100 mL) or microbe protein concentration (9.03-10.60 mg/100 mL) among the seaweed species. It was concluded that brown seaweed (Laminaria sp. and Padina australis) were more degradable than red seaweed (Gracilaria sp. and Eucheuma cottonii) in the rumen. Padina australis is the most potential as ruminant feed because it resulted in the highest propionate proportion, the lowest butyrate and A:P ratio, and low methane production and did not disturb the NH3 and microbe protein concentrations.","PeriodicalId":36378,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Integrative Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41473560","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 objectives of study were to investigate 1) the effects of new enrichment tools on frequency of hand sucking/licking (HS) and pacing in captive sun bear; 2) the response of sun bear to each new enrichment tool. The data collection was divided into 5 parts: 1) before using enrichment 2) using puzzle feeder (PF) 3) using bamboo cradle) (BC) 4) using container (C) and 5) without using any new enrichment tool. The results showed that the frequency of HS in sun bear was not significantly affected by new enrichment tools (P>0.05). The lowest frequency of pacing was found after using new enrichment tools (P<0.001). However, it was not significantly different between before and after using new enrichment tools. The frequency of pacing using PF was lower than that of using BC and C. The highest duration of response to the new enrichment tool was in PF (P=0.002). In conclusion, using new enrichment tools could not significantly reduce the frequency of hand-sucking/licking in captive sun bear. However, it could stimuli the frequency of pacing in sun bear. The captive sun bear would be more interested in the edible enrichment tool, which could reduce the frequency of pacing compared with using other types of enrichment tools. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a long-term experimental enrichment tool using program in the future study.","PeriodicalId":36378,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Integrative Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47895502","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}

Types of dental disease in equine populations have been reported worldwide in veterinary medicine; however, few detailed investigations of equine dental problems in Thailand have been published. Thus, this study aimed to determine the prevalence of equine dental problems in Thailand. Standard dental and oral cavity examinations were performed on 244 equines (232 horses and 12 donkeys) ranging in age from 2–21 years (median = 9.88) from Western, Northern, and Central parts of Thailand between January 2015 and December 2017. The dental disorders were recorded and the data was analyzed to determine the proportion as a percentage of dental disorders. Logistic regression was used to find relations between dental floatation routine, gender, age, body weight, and dental disorders. The survey showed that sharp cheek teeth (82.37%) was the most common problem, which was often associated with frontal hook (10.65%) and caudal hook (6.55%). Other disorders observed included incisor tartar (9.42%) and canine teeth tartar (9.42%). One to two years routine of dental examination and floatation has 2.54 times (p<0.01) higher chance to develop sharp teeth compared to 0.5-1 year routine. In addition, not having any routine increased this effect by 22 times(p<0.01). Sharp cheek teeth was by far the most found and significant dental problem in these equines. These findings show the importance of regular dental floating and tartar scaling. Early detection and treatment can improve equine oral health.","PeriodicalId":36378,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Integrative Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45189137","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}
