Rebound tonometry has been shown to be useful for the evaluation of IOP, not only for the human patient but also for the animal patient. The aim of the paper is to assess intraocular pressure in guinea pigs in order to establish reference values. IOP was measured for three days, at different time intervals, in 40 guinea pigs, using the iCare Tonovet TV01 tonometer. The mean values obtained in coloured guinea pigs were 13.82 mmHg ± 1.64 mmHg in the right eye, 14.11 mmHg ± 1.68 mmHg in the left eye, and in white guinea pigs 12.56 mmHg ± 0.95 mmHg in the right eye, 13.02 mmHg ± 1.29 mmHg for the left eye. The values obtained from this study it can be concluded that the strain of coloured, records the highest values in the morning, which remain linear during the day, and decrease in the evening compared to the white strain which has a constant evolution during the day, and in the evening increases.","PeriodicalId":9470,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca.

Ever since the first description in 1935 made by Schnelle, canine hip dysplasia has remained one of the most diagnosed orthopedic conditions present in the dog breeds. The gold standard method of diagnosis of hip dysplasia is the radiological examination in hip-extended position. While the radiological examination focuses mainly on the individual for the diagnosis of this condition, methods of diagnosis of an entire population are sought, and these methods are represented by molecular genetics techniques. Naming the etiology of canine hip dysplasia and finding out the latest methods of genetically and radiologically diagnosis of canine hip dysplasia and the best alternatives of treatment for this disease. Canine hip dysplasia continues to be a major problem for owners, breeders and veterinarians. Currently, there are five standardized systems worldwide that deal with the grading of canine hip dysplasia. In addition to digital radiology, CT and ultrasonographic examination are feasible diagnosis methods. Even if the standard method of diagnosis remains the radiological examination in the present, the near future provides to be of the molecular genetic techniques.","PeriodicalId":9470,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca.

Abiona","doi":"10.15835/BUASVMCN-VM:2020.0046","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15835/BUASVMCN-VM:2020.0046","url":null,"abstract":"In the past, antibiotics have been used as feed additives to improve growth performance, egg production and to protect animals from pathogenic micro-organisms. The ban on the use of synthetic antibiotics as growth-promoting substance led to increase in research on organic acids and phytobiotics that are prebiotic and probiotic in nature (Patterson and Burkholder, 2003). These organic acids should be able to influence animal health and improve productivity. In spite of these promising medicinal values of Adansonia digitata bark, its full economic potentials have not been fully explored particularly in poultry production. The Baobab fruit pulp shows interesting properties in the stimulation of the intestinal microflora growth. The hydrosoluble fraction of the fruit pulp has stimulating effects on the proliferation of bifido bacteria in in-vitro assays (Baobab Fruit Company, 2008). Soluble dietary fibres, as those contained in the pulp (about 25%), are known to have prebiotics effects stimulating the growth and/or the metabolic activity of beneficial organisms (BFCS, 2008). Adansonia digitata root-bark and leaf methanol extracts have shown high antiviral activity against Herpes simplex, Sindbis and Polio (Anani et al., 2000), together with viricidal (direct inactivation of virus particles) and also intracellular antiviral activity, which could indicate the presence of multiple antiviral compounds, or a single compound with multiple actions (Hudson et al., 2000). Abstract This experiment investigated the dosage effects of the aqueous extract of Baobab Tree Bark (AEBTB) on growth performance, blood profile and intestinal micro-flora of cockerel chickens for 16 weeks. A total of 200 Isa brown dayold cockerel chicks were used in groups of AEBTB (0, 300, 325, 350 and 375 mg/ litre of water) for the experiment. Qualitative and quantitative (mg/100 g) phytochemical screening revealed that AEBTB contained flavonoid (36.33 mg), cardiac glycoside (31.46 mg), saponin (23.26 mg), alkaloid (24.86 mg), tannin (19.28 mg) and phenolic (17.06 mg). The most common components in GS-MS was 9-Octadecenoic acid (C19H36O2; 296.0 g/mol). At the chick phase, significantly (p<0.05) highest final weight (416.50 g/bird) and weight gain of 47.69 g/bird/day were recorded in birds on 375 mg/litre when compared with the control. Alkaline phosphatase, RBC, Hb, PCV and MCHC were significantly (p<0.05) reduced by AEBTB in the birds when compared with the control and the lowest total bacterial count was in birds on 375 mg/litre of AEBTB. However, at the grower phase, birds on 300 mg/litre AEBTB had the best (p<0.05) feed conversion ratio. The study concluded that AEBTB at 300 mg/litre improved health status and growth performance of meat-type chickens.","PeriodicalId":9470,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca.

The extraction of the essential oil from S.aromaticum by hydro-distillation allowed us to obtain CEO with a yield of 10.18%. Infection of adult rats with Candida albicans by intravenous injection at a concentration of 10 CFU per 0.2 ml of inoculum increased hepatic and renal fungal load. The infection also revealed a disruption of various biochemical parameters, including liver (AST, ALT), kidney (urea, creatinine) biochemical assays, and hematological (white and red blood cells, platelets...); also, the results show a correction in the values of these parameters following the administration of CEO (by an intraperitoneal injection of 0.1 ml CEO/kg/day) compared to those of infected animals.

The aim of this study was to compare two techniques for the collection of EC samples in chronically infertile mares. Ten mares aged 4 to 20 were used. In each mare, samples for EC were collected first by cytology brush (CB) and then by low volume lavage (LVL) and stained using the Diff Quick stain. Each sample was assessed for the following parameters: background of the slides, quality and quantity of the cells obtained, number of inflammatory cells. Also, we assessed the number of operators, time and costs needed for each technique. More debris was noticed in the LVL samples, as well as a higher percentage of distorted cells. However, inflammatory cells were detected in all positive samples. Sampling by LVL required two to three operators and recovery of the lavage fluid was sometimes difficult. In conclusion, both techniques are accurate for the detection of uterine inflammation.","PeriodicalId":9470,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca.

After collecting the cecal samples, they were phenotypically processed. ESBL and AmpC screening was carried out by cultivation on MacConkey medium with addition of cefotaxime (MC+CTX). The isolates were confirmed as being E. coli based on the biochemical properties using MIU, TSI and API 20E and as ESBL based on synergy tests between clavulanic acid and ceftazidime and/or clavulanic acid and cefotaxime. Phenotypical detection of AmpC beta-lactamase-producing strains was carried out through a stable AmpC cephalosporin (cefepime). Following ESBL/AmpC screening, out of the 128 analysed samples, 51 (39.84%) grew on MC+CTX and they were identified as E. coli.
