In the evaluation of anthelmintic efficacy by fecal egg counts for cattle naturally infected with helminths, the reasonable technique of fecal egg counts and the reliable guidelines were determined. Modified technique of Harashigeru and Kim's sedimental tube was the most reasonable in fluke egg counts. Universal egg counting technique was preciser than McMaster egg counting technique and was lower in coefficient variation. Fecal egg counts of pretreatment should be carried out twice and mean of the egg should be calculated

The protective effects of high levels of dietary iron, copper, zinc or protein on lead toxicity were studied in chicks. Growth retardation, reduction of feed intake, anemia and accumulation of lead in the bone and kidney were observed in chicks fed a diet containing 500mg lead as chloride/kg of feed for 42 days. Early changes due to ingested lead were inhibition of red blood cell 8-aminolevulinic acid dehydrase at all doses and no effect of iron, copper, zinc or protein addition were observed

To investigate the sensitivity of repeat tuberculin test with bovine PPD, seibert's fraction A(SFA) and avian PPD tuberculins in visible and non-visible lesion reactor cattle to HCSM tuberculin. The comparative test, under the condition of this experiment, was entirely unsatisfactory to differentiate between visible and non-visible lesion cases, the high frequency distribution of the skin fold thickness greater than 10mm to SFA tuberculin appeared in visible lesion cases, whereas the skin reaction 1 less than 4mm to the SFA tuberculin appeared in NVL cases

This macroscopic observation was performed to investigate the aortic arch and their branches of the Korean native goat. Ten Korean native goats with black hairs ranging in body weight from 15 to 20kg were used. The findings were based on the latex cast of the vessels made by injection of neoprene latex. The Truncus bicaroticus was continued from the Truncus brachiocephalicus after branching off the A. subclavia dextra in 8 out of 10 cases, but the As. carotidas communes sinistra and dextra were directly branched from the Truncus brachiocephalicus without forming the Truncus bicaroticus in the remaining 2 cases

To validate the physiological properties of the histamine receptors of ileal smooth muscle in dog, the effect of adrenergic, cholineric and H-receptor antagonists on the responses of ileal smooth muscle strips to histamine were investigated. Histamine caused the contraction of ileal smooth muscle and the contractile responses increased between the concentration of histamine (10-7M and 10-5 M) with dosedependent manner in dog. The shorter the treatment interval of histamine, the lower the contractile activity until the treatment interval extended to 40 minutes

A total of 466 foremilk from dairy farms in Chonnam Korea [R.] district was examined for the subclinical mastitis over a period of 1 year, using a method of the electrical conductivities (EC); absolute conductivity (AC) and differential conductivity (DC) and quarter difference value (QD), in relation to the California mastitis test (CMT) and the direst somatic cell count (DSCC). The compatibility and efficiency rating between the EC values and the other screening tests was conducted

Effects on the healing process of the wound was compared between acupuncture and medicament anesthesia. Ten adult dogs were used and for medicament anesthesia thiopental sodium (Ravonal R) was injected. Incisions were made under anesthesia and thereafter clinical signs were observed and histopathological examinations were performed. No differences were found in the clinical signs between the 2 groups. Macroscopically and microscopically, the healing process was a little faster in the wounds under medicament anesthesia

Five Korean native goats were used to test the effectiveness of the 2 modified techniques (Method 1 and 2) of Pawlow's pouch method. Both methods turned out to be successful and simpler than the original Pawlow's pouch method. In both methods, the miniature rumens were formed on the junction of 2 veins; vena ruminalis sinistra and vena ruminalis dextra. Both method 1 and 2 have the advantage of shortening the operation time, but caution was necessary to prevent the fistual formation between the rumen and miniature rumen in Method 1.

The present observations were focussed mainly on the macroscopic and histopathological examinations of polyps found on the stomach of 4-month-old pig, small intestine of 3-month-old pig and cecum of 9-month-old dog. The polyps were gray or pink hemispherical shapes attached by the broad base to the gastrointestinal walls and were 3 to 8 mm in diameter and diffuse appearance. The surfaces of polyps were flat or indented and were ulcerated in some large polyps

Basic biological and epidemiological observation on eperythrozoonosis like disease of swine in Korea R. was taken, using 157 naturally affected pigs and blood samples of 250 normal pigs. Although infection rates, morphology and sizes of the organisms in stained blood films varied depending on the season, all of the affected pigs showed positive infection and the normal pigs were found 54% positive over the year. The organisms appeared to have 5 morphological forms with sizes of 0.5-5.0 micron but the sizes had increment to 1.4-8.5 micron with cytoplasmic granules when the blood was stored under 0 deg C for more than 1 week or -20 deg C for 24 hrs.
