ABSTRACT High-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFO) is a mechanical ventilation technique used in veterinary medicine to treat various respiratory diseases, particularly in small animal patients, but its potential appl...

IntroductionSouth American camelids (SACs) and dromedaries presenting with neurological abnormalities are increasingly common in veterinary practice. Advanced diagnostic imaging techniques, such as computed tomography (C...

The functions of the intestinal system are crucial for animal health and productivity, as they ensure digestion, nutrient absorption, immune homeostasis, and microbiota regulation. Molecular markers of the intestinal sys...

ABSTRACT Healing cutaneous lesions and the management of pruritus are common challenges in veterinary practice, significantly impacting animal welfare. The application of Cannabis-based products has emerged as an innovat...

Abstract The use of animal-borne devices to measure acceleration has yielded insights into animal locomotion, behaviour and energy expenditure. We present the first systematic review of accelerometry on animals, spanning...

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is one of the most severe complications of diabetes. Animal models of DKD play a crucial role in elucidating disease pathogenesis, exploring therapeutic strategies, and developing pharmacolo...

Fasciola hepatica is the primary helminth in the Fasciolidae family responsible for causing zoonotic fascioliasis worldwide. This study aims to investigate the occurrence of Fasciola hepatica infection (FHI) in sheep of ...

Background and Aim: Hematological assessment is a fundamental tool for evaluating fish health, yet its application in teleost species remains constrained by the reliance on manual methods because of the presence of nucle...

Cysticercosis is a neglected zoonotic disease caused by the larval stages of Taenia asiatica, T. saginata and T. solium. Its prevalence varies across regions, with limited data available in South Africa, particularly ...

Orf virus causes infections in sheep and goats with lesions especially around muzzle and mouth. The disease is widespread, and most sheep-rearing countries are not free of infection. Disease is caused by ORF virus (ORFV)...

This study was conducted to measure kidney size in Van cats using ultrasonography and to investigate the incidence of polycystic kidney disease (PKD). The study's animal material consisted of 80 Van cats of different age...

Cryptosporidiosis is a zoonotic protozoan disease that affects humans and animals. This disease, which causes diarrhea, dehydration, weight loss, stunted growth, and death, especially in newborn calves, leads to economic...

Newcastle Disease (ND) threatens poultry productivity worldwide. Vaccination remains central to control, but conventional oral delivery often yields short-lived immunity. Mucoadhesive systems are an alternative delivery ...

The relationship between ionized calcium (iCa), total calcium (tCa), albumin (Alb) concentrations and the prevalence of subclinical hypocalcemia (pSCH) around calving remains unclear, especially in dairy cows fed anionic...

This study evaluated the utility of serum pregnancy-associated glycoprotein (PAG) concentration for the early diagnosis of cervical dilatation failure (ringwomb) before parturition in sheep during late pregnancy. The stu...
