Bulk milk or pooled milk sampling is a widely used, cost-effective approach for the surveillance of infectious diseases in dairy cattle. Due to insufficient data about the diagnostic performance, it has rarely been exploited for paratuberculosis. Using a logistic regression model, threshold levels of the apparent within-pool prevalence (WPPapp) were determined for the identification of paratuberculosis positive herds by antibody detection in pools of 50 individual milk samples, which is a usual pool size. A total of 73 milk pools were prepared, 50 from two MAP-positive and 23 from one MAP-non-suspect herds. Four different commercial ELISAs were used. WPPapp was estimated independently based on antibody positive individual milk or serum samples and on positive faecal culture. Antibody detection resulted in lower WPPapp estimates than faecal culture (FWPPapp) and tended to underestimate true prevalence. For pooled milk testing, cut-off values of the four ELISAs were revised to ensure 99% specificity and high sensitivity. For 50% probability of detection, FWPPapp thresholds of 8.9–16.3% were determined, increasing to 20.0–37.8% for 95% probability of detection. The results underline that antibody detection in pools of 50 individual milk samples or bulk tank milk from herds ≤ 50 cows allows only the identification of herds with a very high prevalence of MAP-shedders. In control programs this can be the first step to identify the most affected herds. However, it is ineffective for prevalence investigations, surveillance programs and certification.","PeriodicalId":8761,"journal":{"name":"Berliner und Munchener tierarztliche Wochenschrift","volume":"51 1","pages":"34-41"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2017-01-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87368792","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The evaluation of claw health was part of the regular claw care. Documentation was done according to the commonly applied diagnosis code of the German Agricultural Society (Deutsche Landwirtschafts Gesellschaft, DLG). The diagnosed claw health conditions were graded according to the DLG-scheme: grade 1 (low), grade 2 (medium) and grade 3 (severe), whereby the proportion of cows in grade 3 was very low (about 6%). Milk production records were provided from routine performance recording. Statistical analysis was performed using multivariate analysis of variance. The percentage of affected animals kept in loose houses was significantly higher than the one of the animals kept in tie stalls (LH 79.3%, TS 62.6%). In both farming systems white-line-disease (LH 40.3%, TS 33.2%) and laminitis (LH 34.7%, TS 26.8%) were most prevalent. Milk production of LH-animals was significantly affected by claw health status. A significantly lower 100 -day performance was observed in animals with moderate to severe claw disorders compared to healthy animals (around 480 kg milk/first hundred days). Claw skin diseases caused a stronger decrease than claw horn diseases (skin: 600 kg milk, horn: 360 kg milk). Claw health status also had an effect on the 305 - days milk yield: For severe claw disorders a difference of - 1135 kg of milk per 305 - day milk yield could be registered. Again, claw skin diseases led to a higher reduction than claw horn diseases (-949 kg of milk or 522 kg of milk). The milk yield of affected animals housed in TS also tended to be inferior to that of healthy animals, but the effects were statistically not significant (-448 kg milk).","PeriodicalId":8761,"journal":{"name":"Berliner und Munchener tierarztliche Wochenschrift","volume":"12 1","pages":"377-387"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74372122","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Portal vein thrombosis developed after \"repair of diaphragmatic hernia and small bowel resection in an eight month old Irish-Setter. Thrombosis resulted in ascites formation, portal hypertension, formation of pleural effusion and pancreatic oedema and was treated using dalteparin and phenprocoumon.

Fortunately, no obvious bleeding or other substantial side effects were observed. The dog showed complete recovery and full re-canalisation of the portal vein was achieved within 19 days. In conclusion, use of phenprocoumon in dogs must be closely monitored with PT and a reduced loading dose should be used in future cases.","PeriodicalId":8761,"journal":{"name":"Berliner und Munchener tierarztliche Wochenschrift","volume":"54 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74839775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The laboratory results of 77 rabbits with hepatopathies diagnosed via cytological or histopathological examination were investigated by assessing frequency distributions, associations between liver parameters and different hepatopathies, and intercorrelations between parameters. The most frequent liver disease was hepatic lipidosis (40/77), followed by inflammation (3/77). Aspartate aminotransferase was the parameter most commonly increased (n = 20/77, 70.0% above the reference interval), whereas AP activity never exceeded the reference interval. Significant (p 0.9) were found between AST/ALT, GGT/ALT, GGT/AST, and bilirubin/GGT, and significant but lower correlations (p ≤ 0.001, r = 0.–0.9) were detected for GLDH/ALT, and GLDH/AST.
