The objective of the study was to evaluate the effects of doxorubicin (DOX) at the dose used in clinical practice (12-25 mg/m2 body surface area) on cardiac electrophysiology and proteinuria. Nine dogs with tumors were treated with 1st dose of DOX while 6 and 3 dogs were left for 2nd and 3rd doses, respectively. Measurements of blood chemistries, blood pressure, electrocardiography, heart rate variability and proteinuria were performed after the 1st, 2nd and 3rd doses of DOX. All data were obtained the day just before the next dose was introduced. Results showed that giving 1 to 3 doses of DOX …

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Atopic dermatitis is a common pruritic inflammatory skin disease in humans and dogs. Cell junction and cornified envelope are groups of proteins that are crucial for the formation and stability of the skin barrier. The purpose of this study was to investigate gene expression in cell junction and cornified envelope groups in canine atopic dermatitis (CAD) in small dog breeds. Skin biopsy was performed from 10 lesional CAD, 9 non-lesional CAD cases and 11 normal dogs and subjected to quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Several cell junction genes were evaluated, including claudin-1, occludin, zonula occludens-1 and -2, zonula occludens-1-associated nucleic …

Identification And Pathology Of Lactococcus Garvieae Isolated From Cultured And Wild Giant Freshwater Prawns (Macrobrachium Rosenbergii De Man) In Thailand, Naraid Suanyuk, Machalin Dangwetngam

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Lactococcosis caused by Lactococcus garvieae is an increasing problem in aquaculture. The current study is, to our knowledge, the first record of L. garvieae isolated from giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii de Man) in Thailand. These bacteria were isolated from giant freshwater prawns that were either cultured or in their natural environments in Phatthalung and Songkhla, provinces of southern Thailand. Based on conventional and rapid identification systems, as well as genetic and phylogenetic characterizations, the bacteria were identified as L. garvieae. An infectivity trial indicated that all L. garvieae isolates were pathogenic bacteria. Moreover, giant freshwater prawns experimentally infected with …

Importance Of Backfat Thickness To Reproductive Performance In Female Pigs, Atthaporn Roongsitthichai, Padet Tummaruk Jun 2014

Importance Of Backfat Thickness To Reproductive Performance In Female Pigs, Atthaporn Roongsitthichai, Padet Tummaruk

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Backfat in pigs consists of water, collagen, and lipid. Apart from age, body weight, and number of estrus expression, backfat thickness is one of the significant parameters to consider when selecting female pigs into breeding herds since it dominates a number of reproductive performances, e.g. puberty attainment, total piglets born (TB), and farrowing rate. Besides, backfat is one of the significant sources of hormones related to puberty attainment, such as leptin, insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), and progesterone (P4). Evaluation of backfat thickness is majorly performed by an A-mode ultrasonography at P2 position; it provides more accurate body condition than visual …

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a food additive found in many commercial food products. The safe use of MSG has generated much controversy regarding weight gain and health effects. In the present study, the effects of MSG administration for different periods of time on weight gain and on the structure of gastric mucosa in rats were investigated. Thirty-two adult male rats were used and randomly divided into two treated and two control groups (n=8, each). The rats in the treated groups received a daily oral dose of 395 mg/kg bw of MSG for 3 and 6 weeks, respectively, while the control …

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Progressive rod-cone degeneration (PRCD) is one of several groups of inherited progressive retinal atrophy in dogs. This study aims to describe the characterization of phenotypic appearance and demonstrate the responsible gene mutation, including analysis of the allele frequency of PRCD in Poodle dogs in Thailand. All 10 Poodles with clinical signs of PRCD were identified by a history of progressive vision loss, an abnormal obstacle test, and fundic appearance. Genetic testing of PRCD gene mutation using the Polymerase Chain Reaction and Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism technique was performed in all dogs. The result confirmed that all 10 dogs were affected. …

Pancreas Morphology And Duct System Of Swamp Buffaloes (Bubalus Bubalis), Tilladit Rung-Ruangkijkrai, Wuthichai Klomkleaw

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Swamp buffaloes have been important to Thai countryfolk for centuries. However, it’s meat consumption has increased continuously. Since meat and offal of cattle are very similar, pancreas might be used to differentiate buffalo offal from cow offal. Pancreases from 10 adult buffaloes of both sexes were obtained and studied anatomically. Studies revealed that, unlike human and other animals, buffalo pancreas had a unique F-shape with left lobe, right lobe, body, and uncinate process. There was no main pancreatic duct. Only one accessory pancreatic duct was found open into minor duodenal papilla similar to those of cow. Furthermore, unlike human and …

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

This study aimed to determine normal electroretinogram (ERG) parameters in healthy domestic shorthair (DSH) cats. Normal ERG in seventeen DSH cats was recorded using the QuickRetCheck protocol, a very short method to assess retinal function, of the Handheld Multispecies eletroretinography (HMsERG). Scotopic ERGs were recorded in cats under tiletamine-zolazepam and isoflurane anesthesia. At low light intensity (10 mcd.s/m2) stimulation which determined the rod photoreceptor function, a-wave could not be detectable while the mean±standard error of b-wave amplitude and implicit time were 96.26 ± 5.98 μV and 64.66 ± 0.83 msec, respectively. At standard light intensity (3,000 mcd.s/m2), the mean a-wave …

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Pasteurella multocida causes haemorrhagic septicaemia (HS), which is a severe epidemic disease in cattle and buffaloes. In this study, serological typing, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) were used to characterize 87 HS isolates caused by P. multocida from cattle and buffaloes during 1989 to 2011 in comparison with Thai and Laotian vaccine strains and the reference P. multocida strain P1256. The results of serotyping showed that the majority of the isolates (88.5%) belonged to serotype B: 2 (n = 77) while 11.5% shared with serotype B: 2, 5 (n = 10). MIC results showed that 100% …

Veterinary Education Status Toward Asean 2015, Achariya Sailasuta Mar 2014

Veterinary Education Status Toward Asean 2015, Achariya Sailasuta

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Veterinary education has been established in many ASEAN countries. The curriculums produce thousands of veterinarians each year to meet the demands of each country. Among ASEAN countries, there are veterinary schools in 8 out of 10 countries, and no veterinary school in Brunei Darussaram and Singapore. Since agriculture is one the main industries in the ASEAN countries, the need for veterinary practices in the treatment, prevention and control animal diseases is necessary. The goal is to establish suitable veterinary curriculum to produce well-trained veterinarians and develop advances in veterinary research. Therefore, each country has its own established DVM programs with …

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

In this study, important sources and disseminations of Salmonella in integrated broiler meat production was conducted in the north-eastern part of Thailand during 2010-2012. Both environmental samples and chicken-related samples from three broiler meat production cycles, starting from breeder farm, hatchery, broiler farm, and slaughterhouse were collected. The chicken-related samples were tested to monitor Salmonella status of the chickens, eggs, or whole carcasses, whereas the environmental samples were tested to investigate the possible sources of Salmonella contamination. A total of 1,449 chicken-related samples and 802 environmental samples were analyzed. Results of this study showed that Salmonella was found in all …
