    Thirty-two beef cattle (Abaerdeen Angus F1) aged 4.6 to 17.3 months, mostly more than one-year-old excreting Eimeria zuernii or E. bovis oocysts in feces, were devided into 3 groups, and one of them was treated with sulfamonomethoxine (SM) 7.5mg and ormetoprim (OR) 2.5mg/kg/day for 3 or 5 consecutive days, while another with SM 15mg+OR 5mg/kg/day. The remaining one group served as control given SM alone (30mg/kg/day). Following the drug administration 62.5 to 66.7% cattle showed the improved symptoms, and the recovery of the diarrhea was observed 3 or 7days after treating, but no significant difference was not seen among the 3 groups. The OPG values were also reduced obviously (p<0.01 or p<0.05) in each group, but there was no significant difference in the number of oocysts excreted in feces among the groups. The rate of decrease in number of oocysts was most remarkable (95.8%) in those given 15mg SM+5mg OR.

    Following the embryo transfer the nutrient balance (sufficient crude protein/sufficient total digestible nutrients) was significantly higher (P<0.01) in heifers of the farms with lower pregnancy rate than in those With higher pregnancy rate. In the farms with higher pregnancy rate, the amoumt of dietary non-fibrous carbohydrate Was greater (P<0.01), while the amount of NRC degradable and undegradable imtake proteins were somewhatsmaller. After improving the feeding menu, a higher pregnancy rate was obtaimed in the farms previously showing lower pregnancy rate.

    A 19-month-old female mongrel dog weighing 10.5kg showed paralysis of hindquarters, and MRI and myelography revealed spina bifida cystica (opened myelomeningocele) at the 3rd and 4th thoracic vertebra. Since somatosensory-evoked potential (SEP) examination suggested some remaining functions of the affected site, dorsal laminectomy anddermal sinus resection were performed. After operation, the motorfunction of the hind limbs recovered with consious proprioception, though urinary incontinence still persisted.

    A 6-month-old female Alaskan Malamute with ascites retention was found by combined echocardiography to have severe subvalvular pulmonic stenosis, moderate tricuspid regurgitation, mild subvalvular aortic stenosis and mild aortic regurgitation. Because the clinical manifestations were considered to be due to severe subvalvular pulmonic stenosis with infundibular hypertrophy, balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty was performed using the INOUE balloon technique. Ascites retention slowed down and the quality of life was improved after the operation, and at 18 months postoperation the instantaneous pressure gradient between the right ventricle and pulmonary artery remained stable at approximately 60 mmHg while 102 mmHg before operation.

    In a 9-year-old male rabbit, a thumb tip-sized osteolytic tumor appeared on the right hind-limb and it was clinically, cytologically and histopathologically diagnosed as malignant giant cell tumor derived probably from the synovium or soft tissue. No recurrence of the tumor was observed after operation, but the animal showed anorexia and died 11 months later. Fine needle aspiration biopsy seems to be useful for diagnosis of this tumor.

    Sarcosystis sp. was detected from the heart and diaphragm of 3 out of 200 cattle slaughtered in Saitama Prefecture. Cysts were 1, 220-2, 432×80-124μm in size and had the radially striated wall 3 to 4μm thick, provided with palisade-like villar protrusions 3.1-4.3×0.7-1.1μm in size with many inside microtubles. After feeding with 20 fresh cysts, dogs nor domestic cats excreted no oocysts nor sprorocysts in the feces for 30 days.

    Bacteriological survey was performed with carcasses and chilling water at 82 broiler and 31 layer processing plants in Japan in 1996. Detection rates from carcasses in broiler and layer plants were 86 to 90% and 100% for coliform group, 37% and 53 to 55% for Staphylococcus aureus, 18 to 21% and 36 to 48% for Salmonella, and 31 to 33% and 36 to 45% for Campylobacter, respectively. With time of processing, the detection rates tended to increase, and most plants using chlorinated water for chilling were producing more hygienic carcasses. Seven serovars of salmonella were isolated and S. Hadar and S. Infantis were more predominant in broiler processing plants, while 12 serovars were isolated and S. Corvallis was the most predominant in layerprocessing plants.

    Dogs 1-year-old or younger, kept at an animal shelter were examined for helminth eggs adherent to the body surface around the mouth and anus and of the back, abdomen and legs, using the cellophane tape method. Various species of helminth eggs were detected from 14 of 47 dogs (29.8%), that is, canine round worms from 5 dogs (10.6%), canine whipworms from 8 (17.0%), canine tape worms from 6 (12.7%), Manson tape worms from 1 (2.1%), and mites from 4 (8.5%). In more than 80% of cases eggs were detected from perioral and perional regions and small number of eggs were detected from the fore and rear legs and abdominal region while no eggs from the dorsal region. From all 12 dogs and 3 of 4 cats infected with ascarids, the eggs were detected mostly from perioral and perional regions. After shampooing the infected animals wash water was shown to be positive for the eggs.
