Hemostatic Efficacy Of Sheep-Derived Fibrin Glue For Liver Biopsy In Swine, Siriluck Luckanahasaporn, Theerawat Tharasanit, Passakorn Briksawan, Sumit Durongphongthron Dec 2018

Hemostatic Efficacy Of Sheep-Derived Fibrin Glue For Liver Biopsy In Swine, Siriluck Luckanahasaporn, Theerawat Tharasanit, Passakorn Briksawan, Sumit Durongphongthron

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Fibrin glue has been widely used for controlling hemorrhage and sealing tissue in surgery. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the hemostatic efficacy of sheep-derived fibrin glue. Six Marino sheep were used to collect concentrate fibrinogen preparation by the ammonium sulfate precipitation method. Crossbred pigs (n=6) were used to evaluate hemostatic efficacy by monitoring whole blood clotting time by the glass slide method, bleeding time and bleeding quantity during liver biopsy. Mean whole blood clotting time on a glass slide started at 201.1±90.47 and 4.43±3.73 seconds, and was completed at 447.83±63.77 and 31.93±4.28 seconds in control and treatment …

Classical swine fever virus (CSFV) contributes to economic loss of swine production in endemic countries. Serum neutralization and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) are serological tests commonly used for monitoring CSFV antibody status with serum samples. This experiment evaluated the detection of CSFV antibody in oral fluid samples in commercial ELISA test kit by in vitro study of negative oral fluid mixed with serum of known CSFV serum neutralizing (SN) titer and in vivo oral fluid samples obtained from experimental animals. Correlations of SN titer and S/P ratio of ELISA were observed with the in vitro oral fluid samples, indicating the …


Detection Of Prrsv Circulation Using Oral Fluid Samples For Nursery Management In Endemically Prrsv-Infected Farms, Yonlayong Woonwong, Roongtham Kedkovid, Jirapat Arunorat, Chaitawat Sirisereewan, Teerawut Nedumpun, Korakrit Poonsuk, Yaowalak Panyasing, Pariwat Poolperm, Alongkot Boonsoongnern, Roongroje Thanawongnuwech Mar 2018

Detection Of Prrsv Circulation Using Oral Fluid Samples For Nursery Management In Endemically Prrsv-Infected Farms, Yonlayong Woonwong, Roongtham Kedkovid, Jirapat Arunorat, Chaitawat Sirisereewan, Teerawut Nedumpun, Korakrit Poonsuk, Yaowalak Panyasing, Pariwat Poolperm, Alongkot Boonsoongnern, Roongroje Thanawongnuwech

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) has become a major swine disease worldwide. Relevant management strategies and diagnostic assays are of importance for PRRS virus (PRRSV) control. The objective of this study was to determine the use of oral fluids for PRRSV monitoring in endemically PRRSV-infected herds. PRRSV RNA and PRRSV-specific antibodies were monitored using oral fluid samples and serum samples in two conventional swine farms in Thailand (‘Farm A’, a one-site conventional system farm, and ‘Farm B’, a one-site P0-P1 segregation system farm) during farrowing to nursery periods. Both PRRSV RNA and PRRSV antibodies were detected from 3 to …


Alkaline Stabilization Of Manure Slurry Inactivates Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus, Erin E. Stevens, Daniel N. Miller, Bethany A. Brittenham, Sarah J. Vitosh-Sillman, Bruce W. Brodersen, Virginia L. Jin, John D. Loy, Amy M. Schmidt Jan 2018

Hydrated lime manure treatment was evaluated to determine porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) susceptibility to alkaline stabilization. At pH 10, PEDV decreased (quantitative polymerase chain reaction) and lost infectivity (swine bioassay). Although ammonium decreased above pH 9 (up to 25%), alkaline stabilization managed to control potential infection from manure sources.


Anticoagulant Rodenticide Residues In Game Animals In California, Stella C. Mcmillin, Robert H. Poppenga, Shannon C. Chandler, Deana L. Clifford Jan 2018

Anticoagulant Rodenticide Residues In Game Animals In California, Stella C. Mcmillin, Robert H. Poppenga, Shannon C. Chandler, Deana L. Clifford

USDA Wildlife Services: Staff Publications

Anticoagulant rodenticides (ARs) are used to control rodents around homes, buildings, and in agriculture. They have been found widely in predatory and scavenging wildlife as a result of secondary exposure and less commonly in herbivores and omnivores from primary exposure. While predators and scavengers have been monitored for AR exposure, very little information is available about AR residues in edible muscle tissue of game animals. Game animals may be exposed to ARs through direct consumption of bait, ingestion of contaminated food or vegetation, or consumption of contaminated prey items. Carcasses of three species of game animals (black bear, wild pigs, …
