Pregnancy diagnosis is widely practiced in cattle production systems. Ultrasonography is an alternative technique to rectal palpation for pregnancy diagnosis. Fetal losses caused by rectal palpation are well documented; however, reported losses from ultrasonography for pregnancy diagnosis are often confounded by normal embryonic losses during early gestation. Losses caused by inexperienced tech...

Background: Parietal fibrinous peritonitis (PFP) is a complication of laparotomy in cattle, consisting fluid and fibrin accumulation within fibrous capsule between the parietal peritoneum abdominal muscles. Since scientific information on PFP scarce, we aim to collect available help practitioners its diagnosis treatment, formulate research perspectives. Methods: PubMed GoogleScholar databases w...

New sites developed for improved cattle testing are described in this paper. Two separate trials were conducted on a total of 379 Friesian and Brahman cows. In the first test, conducted with an early version of the RENCO PREG-ALERT®(2) modified or cattle testing, the accuracy rate was 96.6% for non pregnant cows, and 90.4% for cows determined to be 5 weeks to 8 months pregnant by rectal palpati...

Two cats were presented to Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex, Mannuthy with a complaint of rectal prolapse from the past two days. The animals weak and emaciated. A small sausage shaped structure could be palpated on abdominal palpation, animal exhibited pain palpation. Due oedema prolapsed mass, it not reduced normal position. ultrasonographic examination abdomen produced target sign sugges...

Methods of pregnancy diagnosis in the domestic animals can be classified into visual, clinical and laboratory methods. In most domestic animals clinical methods are currently used. Visual methods are far from perfect in domestic animals. In animals like cattle, buffaloes and mare’s recto genital palpation and trans-rectal ultrasonography continue to be the methods of choice for an accurate and ...

The study was carried out on five dairy herds in the North-East Poland. The cows, which showed no visible oestrus signs until day 60 postpartum, were examined by ultrasonography and rectal palpation twice, at a 10-d interval. A real-time, B-mode scanner with a 5 MHz probe was used. The plasma progesterone concentration was determined using RIA. A high progesterone level on the first examination...

Electrical resistance (ohms) of mucus were analyzed in 20 postpartum Holstein cows by use of a probe inserted into the anterior vagina every other day for 30 days. Composite milk samples were taken on the same day, and progesterone was determined by radioimmunoassay. Cows were observed twice daily for standing estrus and reproductive organs palpated weekly per rectum (rectal palpation). Fifteen...

Traditional methods of teaching anatomy to undergraduate medical and veterinary students are being challenged and need to adapt to modern concerns and requirements. There is a move away from the use of cadavers to new technologies as a way of complementing the traditional approaches and addressing resource and ethical problems. Haptic (touch) technology, which allows the student to feel a 3D co...
