This paper deals with the distribution, reservoir and mode of spread of salmonella infection on 7 pig farms in Taegu, Kyongbuk, Kyongnam and Chungnam and a slaughter house in Taegu during the period from May 1984 to May 1985. Isolated salmonella were examined for serotypes and biotyping of S. typhimurium. Of total 7,995 samples from 7 pig farms and a slaughter house, 319 salmonella were isolated from 234 samples (2.9%) and their serovar strains were S. derby 77, S. infantis 41, S. enteritidis 20, S. typhimurium 18, S. bredeney 16, S. london 14, S. paratyphi B 9, anatum 8, S. montevideo 8, S. senftenberg 7, S. thompson 6, S. pullorum 4, S. paratyphi A a and untypable 70

The oil emulsion and alhydrogel pilli vaccines were prepared from a strain (O9: K35, K99, F41) of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli isolated from calves with diarrhea and their immunogenicity was tested in guinea-pigs, pregnant goats and cows. Serum antibody responses to K99 and F41 antigens in guinea-pigs given experimental oil and gel vaccines peaked at 4 and 6 weeks after vaccinations. At that time, the mean hemagglutination inhibition titers to K99 and F41 antigens in guinea pigs given oil vaccine were 1:25 and 1:1,218 and those given gel vaccine were 1:54 and 1:724 respectively

Reduced egg production with depigmented, chalky deposit, wrinkled and malformed eggs was observed in breeder flocks throughout the country. The disease was identified as Infectious Bronchitis based on serological findings and virus isolation

This paper deals with the incidence of antibiotic resistance and of R plasmids in 319 Salmonella strains isolated from various samples on 7 piggeries in Taegu, Kyongbuk, Kyongnam and Chungnam and a slaughter house in Taegu during the period from May, 1984 to May, 1985. Of the 319 strains examined, 250 (78.4%) were resistant to one or more antibiotics such as ampicillin (Am), chloramphenicol (Cm), gentamicin (Gm), kanamycin (Km), sulfadimethoxine (Su), streptomycin (Sm), rifampicin (Rf) and tetracycline (Tc), and higher resistant to Su (74.9%), Sm (53.0%) and Tc (28.5%). Only two Salmonella strains isolated from A and C farms were resistant to Rf and Gm, respectively

This survey was conducted to investigate the prevalence of the internal parasites of Holstein cattle rearing in western Kyongnam including Chinyang, Sachun, Namhae, Haedong, Sanchung, Hamyang, Geochang and Hapchun Area(Gun). A total of eight hundred and twenty five heads of Holstein cattle was randomly selected for the faecal examinations and the internal parasitisms were examined by floatation method using saturated salt solution and sedimentation method using 0.5% trio-soap solution

The papillary tubercles (PTs) developed on the splenic capsule of normal Landrace pigs were collected and their histological structures were observed with light microscope. The external features of the PTs were smooth spherical or oval form protruded on the splenic capsules. On cross section of PTs, the shapes were predominantly round or elliptical single follicular form, and were often multifollicular and irregular form in some PTs

The measurement of angled erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), as a replacement for perpendicular ESR, for cattle blood was scrutinized since it has been well known that perpendicular ESR in cattle was tpp slow to be adopted as an effective clinical test. Samples of blood were taken from 186 Korean native cattle over 2 years old. Average values of perpendicular ESR/24hrs in 15 apparently healthy cattle, as measured by Wintrobe, Westergren and capillary tubes, were 5.8 +- 2.2, 11.1 +- 3.7 and 10.4 +-4.5% respectively, which were found to be similar to the values of perpendicular ESR/hr of normal blood of human

This paper deals with the isolation of Salmonella on 3 herds during the period from May 1984 to May 1985. Isolated Salmonella were examined for serotypes, adhesive fimbriae, antibiotic susceptibility and detection of R plasmid. Of total 1505 cattle, 24 Salmonella were isolated from 18 cattle (1.2%) and their serotypes were S. enteritidis (9 strains), S. derby (4 strains), S. infantis (1 strain), C1 group (8 strains), C2 group (1 strain) and untypable (1 strain). Twelve strains of Salmonella were isolated from 227 cattle with diarrhea and their serotypes were S. enteritidis (4 strains), S. derby (3 strains), S. infantis (1 strain), C1 group (3 strains) and untypable (1 strain)

Microcarrier culture technics were widely used for the massive production of the vertebrate animal cells. In this study, attempt was made to establish the microcarrier cell culture system using Cytodex. Various factors affecting the growth of cells on microcarrier culture were also discussed. In conclusion, the yield of cells in microcarrier culture was several times greater than those in roller bottle and flask culture methods, based on the volume of culture media

An experiment was carried out to measure the cellular immune response in the animals by sensitizing the animals with 2, 4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB). The fowls could be sensitized with primary application of DNCB. The sensitizing and challenge dose was standarized. Heterophils were prominent in the early inflammatory response in the superficial and deep dermal regions with scattering of eosinophils. The histological response in the fowls was characteristic of a delayed hypersensitivity reaction
