Heart Rate Change During Aquatic Exercise In Small, Medium And Large Healthy Dogs, Korakot Nganvongpanit, Siriphun Kongsawasdi, Bussaba Chuatrakoon, Terdsak Yano
The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine
This study was divided into two experiments. For the first experiment, heart rates during exercise of 21healthy male dogs were recorded. The animals were brought to swim every 2 days, 8 times in all, for 10 minutes.Heart rates were measured every minute using a pulse watch. For the second experiment, 134 healthy adult dogswere categorized into three groups: small (41), medium (51) and large breed (42). Their heart rates were measuredevery minute for 34 minutes after the 5th swimming. In the first experiment, the heart rates during the 1st–4thswimming were significantly higher (p<0.05) than during the 5th 8th swimming. In the second experiment, the heartrates were significantly different (p<0.05) between small, medium and large dogs. No correlations were foundbetween weight, age, and heart rate. From the results of the second experiment, we were able to formulate anequation for predictable heart rate of each group of dogs (small, medium and large dogs). From the results, werecommend that the limits on the length of time spent for aquatic exercise should be 15–30 minutes, depending on thebreed (size) of dog. Moreover, there should be trainers observing each dog to prevent over-exercise.

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine
Fifty Aeromonas hydrophila isolates from farmed Nile Tilapia were characterized for expression of AheABCmultidrug efflux system and plasmid profile. Thirty nine isolates (78%) expressed AheABC with production of 1.7 to221.3 folds more than AheB of A. hydrophila ATCC35654, the reference. This suggests that the AheABC efflux systemis not always constitutively expressed in the A. hydrophila clinical isolates. The isolates with less AheB expressionwere more resistant to antibiotics than those with high AheB expression. Seventeen isolates were found to carryplasmids that were arranged into 11 plasmid profiles. This is the first study of the AheABC efflux system in A.hydrophila isolates from …

Mycoplasma haemofelis is a mycoplasmal pathogen (hemoplasma) that attaches to the host’s erythrocytes. Distributed worldwide, it has a significant impact on the health of cats causing acute disease and, despite treatment, establishing chronic infection. It might also have a role as a zoonotic agent, especially in immunocompromised patients. Whole genome sequencing and analyses of M. haemofelis strain Ohio2 was undertaken as a step toward understanding its survival and persistence. Metabolic pathways are reduced, relying on the host to supply many of the nutrients and metabolites needed for survival. M. haemofelis must import glucose for ATP generation and ribose derivates for …

Recent research has shown the possibility of pain perception in fish; therefore, the use of analgesia or “painkillers” should be considered for invasive procedures. However, there is relatively little information on the effectiveness of analgesic drugs nor on the appropriate dose for fish. This study assessed the efficacy of three types of drug: an opioid, buprenorphine, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), carprofen and a local anaesthetic, lidocaine. Each drug was tested at three doses on rainbow trout that were noxiously stimulated and the most effective dose was also given to fish experiencing no pain to investigate side-effects. Ventilation rate and …

Asian elephant is indigenous to many countries including Thailand, but fermenter microorganisms ingastrointestinal tract of the elephant have not fully been investigated. Therefore, this study aimed to observe thecellulolytic bacteria in Genus Ruminococcus in large intestines of captive Asian elephants (Elephas maximus). Fecalsamples were collected from male and female sucklings, young and adult captive Asian elephants. Forty-fourelephants were divided into 3 groups as followed: A) > 18 years old (n=24); B) 2-18 years old (n=17) and C) < 2 yearsold (n=3). The results revealed that there were 214 (42.8%) isolates of R. flavefaciens, 105 (21.0%) isolates of R. bromii, 90(18.0%) isolates of R. obeum, 54 (10.8%) isolates of R. callidus and 37 (7.4%) isolates of R. albus from all fecal samplesexamined. Interestingly, Ruminococcus strains could be isolated from the weaned elephants, but were not found in thesucklings (p<0.05). In conclusion, cellulolytic bacteria in Genus Ruminococcus were isolated from the large intestines ofcaptive Asian elephants. Moreover, the highest prevalence of the bacteria was found in the elephants aged more than18 years old.

Virus infection requires the interaction of a virus protein with the host-cell receptor. The Influenza A virusreceptor consists of sialic acid linked to the galactose unit in a α 2,3 or α 2,6 conformation. Various types of thesereceptors are expressed differently on the epithelial lining of various animal species. Here we characterized the typesof receptors that are expressed in the upper and lower respiratory tracts of cow, buffalo, pig and quail. Our findingsdemonstrate that SA α 2,6-gal linked receptors for human influenza viruses are present in the lower respiratory tractof cow and buffalo, while the SA α 2,3-gal linked receptors …

Hyaluronan And Syndecan-1 Localization In The Swamp Buffalo Oviduct, Paisan Tienthai
The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine
The glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) found in the mammalian oviductal tissue and luminal secretory fluidinfluence the fertilization processes in various patterns such as sperm storage, viability and capacitation. The aim ofthis study was to confirm the appearance of hyaluronan and syndecan-1 in the swamp buffalo oviduct consisting ofuterotubal junction (UTJ), isthmus, ampulla and infundibulum during oestrous cycle using histochemical andimmunohistochemical techniques. The non-sulphated GAGs, i.e. hyaluronan (HA), were noticeably localized in thesubepithelial connective tissue layer or lamina propria of all segments while the epithelial HA-positive staining wasdemonstrated only in the UTJ and isthmus (sperm reservoir) at the follicular phase. In contrast, the …
