In korea, burial is the most common method of disposing animal carcasses culled due to brucellosis infection. However, burial has many disadvantages such as shortage of appropriate burial sites, possibile pollution of ground water supply, and negative view of the public. In this study, we have reviewed 3 legal methods for disposing bovine carcasses, which are burial, incineration, and rendering. We also described the overall process, advantages and disadvantages, and required costs for each method. About 75% of bovine brucellosis outbreak farms had less than 3 reactors, and in our study, rendering required the least amount of cost for farms with a small number of reactors (1-3 heads). Our findings suggest that the use of rendering should be encouraged for farms with bovine brucellosis and other methods considered only if rendering is inappropriate.

The present study describes an investigation on an epidemic of Tuberculosis (TB) which has been occurred among dairy cattle farms in Jeongeup, Jeollabuk-do since 2007. The investigation was performed in three ways as follows: 1. Collecting information about bovine TB outbreaks using investigation reports, an on-the-spot and tracing-back investigations; 2. Analyzing the outbreak pattern; 3. Establishing hypothesis and performing statistical analysis on potential risk factors. In the early 2000s, TB outbreaks were sporadically reported in beef cattle, and only a small number (1~2) of reactors was confirmed in each of outbreak farms. The number of TB outbreaks has been suddenly increased from 2007, mainly in dairy cattle farms. And these outbreaks were temporarily clustered during the period, from March 2007 to April 2009 (relative risk, RR=13.7, p less than 0.001). And two spatial clusters of which radiuses were 0.3 km (RR=6.9, p less than 0.001) and 0.9 km (RR=3.6, p less than 0.01). The analysis to find risk factors was performed on 99 dairy farms (21 outbreaks), which are located in the most seriously affected village during 2007-2009. Middleman (odds ratio, OR=47.4, p less than 0.05) and raw milk collecting system (OR=6.9, p less than 0.05) were recognized as with the highest association. Considering the fact that all the outbreak farms except one had their own manure composting tank, it might be that the manure containing pathogen was leaked from tank and transmitted to other farms by fomites such as middleman or raw milk collecting system.

Moshtaghi, H. | Garg, S. R. | Mandokhot, Usha V.
Survivability of Listeria monocytogenes in clay loam soil was examined at 30° C for a period of 35 days. The microorganism inoculated in soil steadily declined from 3.5 × 10 6 g -1 to 3.9 × 10 4 g -1 (P = 0.05) on 35 th days. Destruction of normal soil microflora by heat treatment resulted in marginal rise in 3.3 × 10 6 g -1 of L. monocytogenes to 4.2 × 10 6 g -1 during the first 7 days, followed by steady decline to 5.6 × 10 4 g -1 on 35 th days. Heat treated soil inoculated with lower concentration of L. monocytogenes (3.6 × 10 4 g -1 ) supported sharp rise in its population to 4.8 × 10 6 g -1 (P=0.05) during the first weak which gradually declined, but remained higher (6.1 × 10 4 g -1 ) than the initial load even on 35 th days. In non-sterile soil, the rise was less appreciable but L. monocytogenes maintained its levels (10 4 g -1 ) during the experimental period. Survivability of the microorganisms was also observed in the soil with added chicken manure, cattle manure or sheep/goat manure.

Dutta, S. | Laha, R. | Roy, R. N. | Ghosh, A.
Abortion, still birth, premature birth and mortality of cross bred dairy cattle (Jersey × Tharparkar/Red Sindhi) were noticed in the organized dairy farm of National Dairy Research Institute, Eastern Regional Station, Kalyani, Nadia, situated in hot and humid climatic area nearer to the river Ganges of West Bengal, India. The history of the farm revealed newly introduction of pure bred dairy cattle and outbreak of FMD during mid March to mid April, affected about 34% cross bred cows. During investigation, intermittent rise of temperature (104°F -108°F), anorexia, rapid respiration, progressive deterioration of health of animals and loss of milk production were also noticed. On the basis of past history, twenty suspected animals were taken for disease investigation. Repeated visit of the farm and repeated examinations of blood smears were done to observe any haemoprotozoan infections. Twenty to thirty percent of those suspected animals were found positive for Brucella antibodies by STAT, plate agglutination test and MRT. After a massive screening of blood smears, during the visit of third time, ultimately one animal (Identification number JT614) was found positive for the presence of Trypanosoma evansi infections in Giemsa stained blood smears. The infected and all suspected animals were successfully treated with single injection of a mixture of quinapyramine sulphate and chloride @ 7.4 mg/kg body weight subcutaneously. As a prophylactic measure, a mixture of quinapyramine sulphate and chloride @ 7.4 mg/kg body weight subcutaneously were also administered to all suspected animals prevented further occurrence of the disease in this dairy farm. It can be concluded that the iAfection with T. evansi in this farm has happened in a condition of intercurrent diseases with environmental stresses.

Data on working out a quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for revealing of virus of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus was presented. The development of the qualitative PCR was realized in the following stages: analysis of viral genome and selection of primers; synthesis of primers and control of their specificity; optimization of conditions for PCR; obtaining of positive control and determination of its concentration; obtaining and testing of probe and optimization of its concentration for PCR; testing of the developed method and determination of sensitivity. The obtained method made it possible to determine not only presence of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis, but also its initial amount in sample. Due to application of probe constructed in accordance with molecular beacon technology the presented method proved to be highly specific. That was connected with the fact that fluorescence was registered only when the probe connected to complementary part of DNA, in other case the result was negative. Research results showed that the sensitivity of the given procedure made it possible to define in a sample presence of a virus with concentration 2 lg that corresponded to 2 DNA copies

Results on determination of residual quantities of fenbendazole and its metabolites in cattle meat, organs and tissues after administration of preparation Febolvet in dose of one bolus per one animal realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus were presented. Animals were killed in 35 and 80 days after administration of preparation. There were no strangulates in animals organs. Pieces of nephros, liver, cordis, fat and muscle tissue were chosen for residual quantity of fenbendazole and its metabolites evaluation. The level of carcasses bleeding was good at application of boluses of infested activity with fenbendazole. In 24-48 hours of keeping in refrigerator the drying crust was well-defined, muscle tissue in cut had firm texture and from light red to red color, cut areas were wet. Tendon was form and elastic. Soup was clear, flavored and without extraneous odors. Study of physical-chemical indexes estimated peroxidase activity, pH, presence of products of primary breaking of protein in 24 and 72 hours after killing. Biological value decreased slightly (on 1,04%). Veterinary-sanitary evaluation of cattle meat was conducted in the investigation. Research results showed no residual quantities of fenbendazole in the analyzed samples after application of long lasting boluses. Application of the analyzed boluses in case of cattle strongylatosis did not lower the veterinary and sanitary indexes of meat and did not render substantial effect on its quality
