This study was conducted to examine the outbreak rate and the causative agents of otitis externa in 26 dogs(49 ears; 23 dogs = bilateral, 3 dogs = unilateral), and the normal microfloras of external ear canal in 68 dogs(133 ears; 65 dogs = bilateral, 3 dogs = unilateral) in Taegu, 1997. The breed, living environment, sex, age and season distribution of otitic dogs were as follows: Dogs with erect and hairy ears(42.3%), pendulous and hairy ears(38.5%), indoor(92.3%), female(65.4%) and below one year old(38.5%) were more prevalent. According to season, otitis externa was mainly occurred between July and October. The major causative agents of canine otitis externa were Malassezia pachydermatis(32.7%), Staphylococcus aureus(26.5%) and S intermedius(16.3%). The major causative agents of canine otitis externa were Malasszia pachydermatis(32.7%), Staphylococcus aureus(26.5%) and S intermedius(16.3%). In the microorganism isolated 39 otitic ear canals, single infection was 53.8% and mixed infection was 46.2%. The normal microfloras of canine external ear canal were fungi including M pachydermaits, Aspergillus spp, Microsporum canis, Alternaria spp, Verticillium spp and Yeast, and bacteria including Staphylococcus spp(10 species including S xylosus), Bacillus spp, Corynebacterium spp, Listeria spp, Actinomyces pyogenes and Escherichia coli. No growth was 34.6%.

From July of 1997 to June of 1998, total 279 raw milk samples over wkthdarwal period after mastitis treatment from dairy farms located in the provinces of Kyonggi and Choongchung were collected to test drug residues. Each sample was tested by TTC-II test and Delvotest SP. Among the total 152 raw milk samples of cow treated by beta-lactams, 32 samples(21.2%) were positive on the Delvotest and 15 samples(9.9%) showed positive on the TTC-II test. Also, from the total 37 samples treated by sulfonamides, 5 samples(13.5%) were positive on the Delvotest and 3 samples(8.1%) showed positive on the TTC-II test. For the total 55 raw milk samples of cow treated by tetracyclines, 9 samples(16.4%) were positive on the Delvotest and 5 samples(9.1%) showed positive on the TTC-II test. In addition, from the total 35 samples treated by aminoglycosides, 7 samples(20.0%) were positive on the Delvotest and 5 samples(14.3%) showed positive on the TTC-II test. Our study shows that it is possible that drugs are to be detected by the drug residues test of and individual raw milk even over the withdrawal period after mastitis treatment and the raw milk of bulk tank.

The dynamics of changes of nonspecific cellular-humoral immunity parameters of sheep in the conditions of in the conditions of oppression of parasympathetic part of autonomic nervous system was studied in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus. For the experimental animals there was applied atropine sulfate. Experiment was realized by an example of two groups (control and experimental) of yeld ewes. Blood was taken from jugular vein before administration of the preparation, and then in 1, 3, 6, 12, 24 hours, 1, 2, 3 days after the beginning of experiment. As a result of realized study there was stated a directly-proportional dependence in changes of phagocytes activity of leukocytes.
