Incidence of foot disease of Korean native cattle (231 cases) and Holstein (310 cases) in slaughter house was observed from Jul to Aug, 1984. Incidence rate of foot disease was 9.09%, 12.90% and 11. 27% for Korean native cattle, Holstein and total respectively. Chronic necrotic pododermatitis showed the highest incidence among all foot disease and its incidence rate was 6.47% in all cattle observed

An outbreak of duck virus hepatitis was confirmed for the first time in Korea from ducklings having up to 40-65% mortality in less than 15-day-old ducklings of two farms located in the vicinity of Kwangju city. The infected ducks showed sudden death and opisthotonus position. The predominant gross lesions were found in the liver, showing enlargement and petechial or ecchymotic hemorrhages. The microscopic findings consisted of fatty changes and necrosis of the hepatic cells, and proliferation of the bile duct epithelium

A total of 10 colostrum-deprived pigs (1 or 2-day-old) and 6 pigs 35-day-old), which had been raised by natural maternal nursing, were used to study the pathogenicity of the porcine enteroviruses by the intracerebral and intramuscular routes of inoculation, which the enterovirus were isolated from the diseased pigs in Korea. The porcine enteroviruses produced an identical polioencephalomyelitis in colostrum-deprived pigs and 35-day-old pigs, which manifested clinical signs and histological changes. Clinically it was characterized by incoordination, rise in rectal temperature, ataxia, flaccid paralysis in all the experimental groups

This study was conducted in order to observe the changes in cellular associations of seminiferous tubules from 8 to 20 weeks of age and to obtain the cycle and relative duration of the seminiferous epithelia from 24 to 32 weeks of age. Twenty-eight Korean native male goats were used in the experiment and divided into 7 groups, consisting of 4 goats each, with four weeks intervals from 8 to 32 weeks of age

This study was performed to evaluate the effect of succinylcholine chloride as a muscular relaxant deers. Succinylcholine chloride was administered for the harvesting of velvet antler to 62 sika deers which were farmed in the suburb of Seoul, Korea [R.]. The more the dose of succinylcholine the earlier the time to immobilization and the slower the time to recover (p 0.05). The optimal intramuscular dose of succinylcholine was found to be 0.11-0.14 mg per kg of body weight for sika deer

This study was attempted to verify the mechanisms of RBC survival time shortened with vitamin E deficient and decrement of phospholipid concentrations by administration of iron. The concentration of iron in basal ration (group A and group B) was 40 mg/kg of feed, and the final concentrations of iron in the Fe (OH)3 supplemented-rations (group C and group D) were 13,496 mg/kg and 26,973 mg/kg, respectively

An eighteen months old, female, Great Dane dog which had shown signs of severe cachexia, dehydration, hematuria, vomiting and the palpable cervical mass during three weeks was examined clinically and necropsied after death. Diagnosis of this tumor case was made by gross pathology, cytology of the aspirate, radiography of the abdomen and the tumor tissue as multicentric, histiocytic lymphosarcoma. Cytologic findings of the needle aspirate of the cervical lesion were typical of macrophage origin cell. The tumor was encountered predominantly in the lymph nodes, tonsils and spleen. The predominant cell type of these tumor masses manifested characteristics of histiocytic cells
