The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine
Recent clinical studies have documented a high prevalence of dental disorders in donkeys. However, there are few studies about the same topic in China. A cross-sectional study was performed to investigate the prevalence of clinically diagnosed dental disorders of donkeys in China. A total of 101 jennies which had never received any dental care were examined for the presence of dental disorders under small-holder farm conditions. The prevalence of dental disorders was analyzed by Chi‐square test or Fisher's exact correlation test. The strength of association was evaluated using Cramer's V test. Jennies between 2 and 15 years of age were …

Palm kernel meal (PKM) is a byproduct produced after oil extraction from palm kernels. It is a valuable source of fiber, energy and protein which can reduce the cost of total mixed ration (TMR). This study was conducted to assess the growth performance, carcass characteristics and meat quality of lambs fed TMR pellet with PKM. A total of 32, three-month-old male lambs were randomly distributed into two diets (PTMR1= 0; PTMR2= 200 kg PKM/ton TMR). Results of the study showed that the production performance and the characteristics, composition and fat content of carcasses, as well as meat quality traits were …

Sesame seeds are used in many traditional Japanese foods for their flavor and taste but commercial sesame can be highly contaminated with bacteria. We therefore examined the bacterial populations, including Bacillus spp., Enterobacteriaceae bacteria and standard plate count bacteria in sesame samples purchased from markets in Japan. A total of 8 sesame samples were tested, of which 4 (50.0%) harbored 4.3–5.6 log cfu/g standard plate count and 2.7–4.3 log cfu/g Enterobacteriaceae bacilli. Pantoea dispersa, P. septica and P. agglomerans were identified by a MALDI-TOF MSbased test. One (12.5%) sample harbored 3.6 log cfu/g Bacillus cereus, but this strain lacked the …

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine
Ultrasonographic measurements of extra-foetal or foetal structures have been reported as an accurate means of predicting the date of parturition in the bitch. However, for many years, radiography has been clinically useful for pregnancy diagnosis, determining the number of foetuses and prolonged foetal death. Guidelines for estimating the canine parturition date based on foetal skeletal mineralization in relation to gestational age and preovulatory LH surge have been applied in small animal practice. The aims of this retrospective study were to evaluate the accuracy of parturition date prediction using foetal radiographic findings in small size dogs (1-10 kg), and to determine …

United States Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services: Staff Publications
Island rodent eradications are increasingly conducted to eliminate the negative impacts of invasive rodents. The success rate in the tropics has been lower than in temperate regions, triggering research and reviews. Environmental factors unique to the tropics (e.g., land crabs and year-round rodent breeding) have been associated with eradication failure. Operational factors have also been important, but these have not been comprehensively assessed. The environmental and operational factors using global cases where rodent eradication initially failed and subsequent attempts occurred were compared. It was determined whether operational factors explained the initial failures, whether operational improvements explained subsequent successes, and whether …
