We performed a number of tests including blood test, X-ray examination, ultrasonic examination, Encephalitozoon titer test, and neurological examination on 3 rabbits showing neurological symptoms. Based on the test results, neurological disorder was strongly suspected. Therefore, magnetic resonance ...

Administration of omeprazole by ventriculo-cisternal perfusion or intravenously has been shown to decrease cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) production in dogs and rabbits. Oral omeprazole has consequently been recommended to reduce CSF production in dogs with conditions in which clinical signs may be...

A 37 day-old, 494 g, male NZW rabbit was presented with history of abnormal neurological signs head shaking, bilateral nystagmus and mild ataxia. The necropsy revealed a white cyst located at the base of the brain, centered to optic chiasma. A 2.5×3 mm, grey-white, delineated, moderately firm mass...

This issue contains conference proceedings on the incidence of respiratory problems in cattle; the presence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in livestock and personnel farms in Sicily, Italy; animal cloning; congenital hydrocephalus in sheep; oxidative status in rabbits; the...

This study was carried out on 50 rabbit does fed a ration contaminated with ochratoxin A (OTA) at a level of 640-760 microgram/Kg ration. Thirty does exhibited reproductive and nervous disorders and 90 of their progeny showed teratogenic lesions, including hydrocephalus. Analysis of cerebrospinal...

42 does with a history of stillbirth, abortion, neonatal malformations such as hydrocephalus, variable degrees of xerophthalmia, corneal opacity and blindness from 3 rabbit colonies on a farm at El-Hawatka district, Egypt, were observed in October 1999. Vitamin A content in ration (3800 IU/kg) was...

Ochratoxin A is a foodborne mycotoxin produced by several Aspergillus and Penicillium spp. In this study, ochratoxin A from A. ochraceus was dissolved in corn oil and given by gastric intubation to rabbits during 6-18 days of gestation at 0, 0.025, 0.050 and 0.100 mg/kg body weight levels. Compared ...

To elucidate the teratogenic effects, ochratoxin A (OTA) and aflatoxin B₁ (AFB₁) were dissolved in corn oil and administered in combination to New Zealand White rabbits during 6-18 days of gestation orally with the dose levels of OTA+AFB₁, 0.05+0.05 and 0.1+0.1 mg/kg body weight. To assess...

Young, adult, female New Zealand rabbits were fed on a low-vitamin A diet of lucerne meal 10, rice hulls 25, oats 13.5, wheat mill run 25, soyabean meal 20, molasses 3, fat 2, dicalcium phosphate 1 and trace elements 0.5%. The basal diet was supplemented with retinyl acetate at 10, 30, 60 or 90 ×...
