Congenital hepatic fibrosis in an aborted calf
An aborted female Holstein foetus with marked generalized anasarca was referred to the Excellence Centre for Ruminant Abortion and Neonatal Mortality, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad. On postmortem examination, red-tinged ascites, pale and firm liver with extreme irregularity and numerous round to oval slightly raised foci on the capsular surface were seen. Histological examination revealed wide...
متن کاملImplementing a novel movement-based approach to inferring parturition and neonate caribou calf survival
In ungulates, parturition is correlated with a reduction in movement rate. With advances in movement-based technologies comes an opportunity to develop new techniques to assess reproduction in wild ungulates that are less invasive and reduce biases. DeMars et al. (2013, Ecology and Evolution 3:4149-4160) proposed two promising new methods (individual- and population-based; the DeMars model) tha...
متن کاملSurviving at sea: ecological and behavioural predictors of calf mortality in Indian Ocean bottlenose dolphins, Tursiops sp
We examined the behavioural ecology of mothers and calves during the first year of life to identify variables predicting calf mortality among bottlenose dolphins. Specifically, we investigated whether the primary cause of calf mortality was poor calf condition or shark predation. Seventy-five per cent of calves that died (NZ 12) showed visible signs of poor health compared with 4.7% of the surv...
متن کاملα-Tocopherol and β-carotene concentrations in feed, colostrum, cow and calf serum in Swedish dairy herds with high or low calf mortality
BACKGROUND A study of herd-level risk factors for calf mortality in large Swedish dairy herds showed low serum concentrations of α-tocopherol and β-carotene in 1-7 day old calves to be more common in high mortality herds. Therefore, we aimed to investigate if calf mortality risk at herd level is associated with concentrations of α-tocopherol and/or β-carotene at individual level in feed, colost...
متن کاملPerinatal and Early Postnatal Calf Motility
Effect of dystocia, breeding group, cow age and calf sex on periand early postnatal (within 24 hr. after birth) mortality was studied. Data obtained from 1967 to 1972 included 5,064 parturitions from 18 breeding groups. Approximately 35% of the parturitions were from 2,year-old cows, 24% from 3-year-olds and 41% from cows 4 years and older. Type of parturition was divided into four classificati...
متن کاملThe Main Causes of Calf Mortality in Dairy Farms in Poland
Calf mortality is one of important problems of calf rearing in dairy farms worldwide. Besides, several noninfectious factors, such as management around birth, colostrum management, calf housing, feeding system, hygiene and pathogens, play an important role in calf rearing. The aim of the study was to show the most common causes of mortality of calves up to 90 d of their lives. Some data are ava...
