This paper deals with the incidence of bovine mastitis for 743 quarters and distribution of Staphylococci for the quarter and 70 bulk milk samples in the northern area of Kyongbuk during the period from Jan to Dec 1984. Isolated Staphylococci were examined for species, subgroups, antibiotic resistance and penicillinase production. A total of 25 (73.5%) of 34 herds, 102 (54.3%) of 188 cows and 208 (30.3%) of 743 quarters were found to be infected with subclinical mastitis. A total of 83 (83.1%) of 102 cows, 94 (45.2%) of 208 mastitic quarters and 55 (78.6%) of 70 bulk milk samples were isolated Staphylococci

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

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 described the distribution and transmissibility of BLV (bovine leukemia virus), the relationship between antibodies against BLV and lymphocyte count in 313 dairy cattle from 36 herds, the clinical signs and hematological findings of 2 lymphosarcomatous cattle in the northern area of Kyongbuk. Eighty three (26.5%) of 313 cattle from 36 herds were positive for BLV antibodies and 19 (52.8%) of 36 herds were infected with BLV by the immunodiffusion test with BLV-gp antigen. The rate of BLV infection in cattle varied from 9.5 to 87.5% in 19 positive herds, it was higher in herds pastured during summer and included lymphosarcomatous onset than the other and also higher with the age

Authors evaluated retinal toxicity produced by intraocular injection of kainic acid in 10 ducks to provide further informations on the kainic acid induced retinal lesions in the avian species. By 8 hrs after injection there were severe vacuolar degenerations in the inner plexiform layer and the inner portion of the inner nuclear layer; by 24 hrs after injection many of the cells exhibited pyknotic nuclei in the inner nuclear layer; by 48 hrs after injection the reduction in the thickness was apparent in this layer because of the partial loss of the pyknotic cells. By 96 hrs there were only a few cells in the center and inner protion of the inner nuclear layer; by 10 days there was a conspicuous decrease in the thickness of the inner nuclear layer and the inner plexiform layer

Endocrine cells were observed in the gastrointestinal tract of the squirrels by light microscopy using Grimelius and Masson-Hamperl silver impregnation, and in the stomach and duodenum by electron microscopy. Light microscopically, argyrophil cell decreased gradually in number in the pyloric region and ileum, stomach, duodenum and jejunum and rectum in the order listed. Argentaffin cells were moderately distributed in the stomach, pyloric region and duodenum, while absent in the jejunum, ileum and rectum

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

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

The cycle of the seminiferous epithelia in the testis of mature Korean native cattle was divided into twelve stages, using criteria the morphological changes in the acrosomic system and the nuclei of developing spermatids and germ cells. The minimum number of type A spermatogonia were the average of 1.8 in both at stages 1 and 6, while maximum numbers were the average of 4.2 at stage 12. Some type A spermatogonia divided at stage 12 to produce the type intermediate (IN) spermatogonia at following stage 1. The intermediate type spermatogonia divided at stage 4 to produce the type B spermatogonia at stage 5
