The objective of this study was to compare the effects of two concentrate allotment strategies on the performance of dairy cows grazing on restricted pasture and supplemented with conserved forage. Dairy cows fed equal amounts of concentrate (fixed daily rate: 5.5 kg DM/cow) were compared to cows supplemented with concentrate according to their lactation stage as follows: 10.0, 5.0, and 1.5 kg DM/cow daily during early, mid, and late lactation, respectively (average daily dose: 5.5 kg DM/cow). There was a supplementation strategy × lactation stage interaction (P < 0.05) for energy-corrected milk (ECM). For early lactation cows, supplementation at a variable rate increased ECM yield by 14.61% (P < 0.05). There was a supplementation strategy × lactation stage interaction (P < 0.05) for body weight change. At late lactation stage, cows supplemented at a fixed rate gained weight (+ 0.16 kg/day), whereas those supplemented at a variable rate lost weight (- 0.08 kg/day; P < 0.05). No significant effect was found for body condition score. The prioritization of milk production rather than the attenuation of body reserve mobilization suggests that concentrate allowance based on lactation stage may be unsuitable for minimizing the negative energy balance in early lactation cows.

Two Cases Of Phacoemulsification In The Presence Of A Small Pupil Using An Iris Expander, Ha-Eun Lee, Joon-Young Kim, Da-Eun Lee, Jin-Gu Kang
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
A small pupil and poor pupil dilation are well-known risk factors faced by veterinary ophthalmologists during and after cataract surgery. We here describe two cases of phacoemulsification performed using an iris expander (Visitec I-Ring Pupil Expander, Beaver-Visitec International, USA) for treating cataracts in dogs with small pupils. Using this technique, we performed cataract extraction effectively in dogs with insufficiently dilated pupils. This case report provides useful information on the use of an iris expander for phacoemulsification in eyes with a small pupil, which can be applied in veterinary settings.

Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) causes heavy economic losses in chicken farms worldwide. Like many other viral diseases, vaccination is the gold standard approach in controlling and preventing the spread of IBV. However, IBV is continuously evolving and new strains of this virus emerge that, due to variable antigenic cross-reactivity, may reduce or nullify the protective effect of vaccination programs. Therefore, advance knowledge of the IBV strain(s) circulating in a region will be very useful in deciding which commercial vaccine(s) would be most effective. In this line, we analyzed the nucleotide sequence of the full-length 1$_{1}$ gene of IBV viruses isolated …
