The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

The scanning electron microscope features of the zona pellucida of immature porcine oocytes, preserved in hypertonic salt solution, for 7, 14, 28 and 56 days, were compared with the features of fresh immature oocytes. The outer zona pellucida layer showed two principal patterns. The first showed a network, with a spongy appearance and containing numerous pores, while the other had a more compact and smooth structure, with fewer pores. The diameter and the number of outer pores within a 100 μm2 area was evaluated. The mean diameters were 0.55±0.40, 0.47±0.32, 0.42±0.26, 0.40±0.26 for the 7D, 14D, 28D and 56D salt-stored …

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

The goal of this study was to generate production indicies for evaluating cow and farm production efficiency. The milk yields from cows on 10 farms in the Khonkaen province were recorded. The data were transformed into a value depicting standard milk production and subsequently calculated to show the average standard milk production of each farm and an average for all farms. These data were used to calculate 2 production indecies: 1) a cow production index, calculated by dividing the cow standard milk production figure with the average standard milk production for the farm, and 2) a herd production index, calculated …

Exercise And Dehydration In The Horse, Prawit Butudom Dec 2003

Exercise And Dehydration In The Horse, Prawit Butudom

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

The intensity and duration of exercise has a major impact on fluid levels, electrolytes and acid-base balance in the horse. The changes range from rapid fluid and electrolyte shifts which accompany high-intensity exercise (VO2 max ≥ 100%) (i.e., racehorse) to substantial fluid and electrolyte depletion during Speed and Endurance Tests as seen at Three-day events. Depletion is also seen during prolonged endurance exercise, in which the horse performs a low-intensity form of exercise (30-60% VO2max). These fluctuations of fluid and electrolyte homeostasis have been implicated in the development of fatigue and can lead to medical problems when exercise is continued …


Immunohistochemical Studies Of The Estrogen Receptor Alpha In The Ovaries And Uteri Of The Domestic Cat At Different Stages Of The Oestrous Cycle, Damri Darawiroj, Kongkiat Srisuwatanasagul, Sinchai Pianchop, Sayamon Sukjumlong Dec 2003

Immunohistochemical Studies Of The Estrogen Receptor Alpha In The Ovaries And Uteri Of The Domestic Cat At Different Stages Of The Oestrous Cycle, Damri Darawiroj, Kongkiat Srisuwatanasagul, Sinchai Pianchop, Sayamon Sukjumlong

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

The expression of the estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) was investigated in domestic cat ovaries and uteri by mean of immunohistochemistry, using monoclonal antibody against ERα. The stages of the oestrous cycle were determined by vaginal cytology and serum steroid levels which were taken before operation. In the uterus, positive staining was found in the nuclei of all uterine cell types in different proportions and staining intensity. During oestrous, the staining intensity and the proportion of positive cells were highest in the epithelium (both the surface epithelium and the glandular epithelium) as well as in the myometrium. At dioestrous, ERα expression …

A Morphological Study And Diagnotic Ultrasonography Of Asian Elephant Kidney, Wimon Pothiwong, Phiwipha Kamonrat, Pawana Uthaichotiwan, Pakorn Prachammuang, Sumolya Kanchanapangka

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Kidneys from a forty year old, female, Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) were subjected to a gross anatomical study (measurements, dissection, parasagittal sections and photography), histological examination, and ultrasonographic images. The kidney had an elliptical to ovoid shape with a size of 32x21x12 centimeters (length, width, and thickness). It was of multilobar or multipyramidal type, composed of 8 lobes, closely placed and separated by interlobar septae, some of which were perforated by minor interruptions. Each lobe had one calyx, connected to its secondary infundibulum which converged into two primary infundibula, one each on end of the renal sinus. The 2 primary …

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

The aim of this study was to measure some of the variable parameters of canine pelvic bones and to make a comparision between the sexes. Eighteen variable measurements of pelvic bones from 34 adult dogs (18 female and 16 male) were studied. The results showed that the variable parameters of pelvic bones in the male dogs were higher than those found in females except for four variables which were the conjugate diameter (C), the length of the pubis (LP), the distance between the iliac crests at their most lateral points (IC) and the shortest distance from the middle of the …

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

The objective of this study was to define the coefficients for the calculation of standard milk production and the average daily milk production for the whole lactation, from the milk production measured on one test day. Individual milk production data from a farm, with an average of 45 milking cows, in the Khonkaen province, were collected daily over a period of one year. Data from healthy cows, in lactations 1 to 6, were used. The lactation period was divided into 13 separate periods: days 0-15, 16-30, and every 30-day period after that. Parity was divided into first parity and parities …


First Identification Of Neospora Caninum In Thailand, Than Kyaw, Prachin Virakul, Manop Muangyai, Wijit Banlunara Dec 2003

First Identification Of Neospora Caninum In Thailand, Than Kyaw, Prachin Virakul, Manop Muangyai, Wijit Banlunara

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

An immunohistochemical examination of aborted bovine tissues, collected from two dairy farms that had a high abortion rate (7%), detected the organism Neospora caninum (NC). Five out of 12 aborting cows (41.7%) were seropositive to NC using a competitive ELISA test. Neospora-tachyzoites were detected in the placenta of a seropositive aborting cow. Neither NC parasites nor cysts were detected in other fetal tissues. The identification of the Neospora-parasite and a high percentage of Neospora seropositive aborting cows, suggested NC as the possible cause of abortion. This is the first identification of the NC parasite in Thailand.
