“…The width of ALP distribution for Holstein Friesian cattle reported by Sato et al [11] is similar to the width observed in the present study. No ALP measurements were found for mature Japanese black cattle, but animals under the age of one were more than four times the range of ALP in the present study [12]. This finding is likely due to an increase in bone-type ALP during rapid growth.…”

Livestock and companion animal health have a direct impact on human health. Research on clinical laboratory technology for veterinary medicine is as important as that on human laboratory technology. Reagents and analysis equipment for human medical laboratory tests are often used in veterinary medicine. Medical laboratories in Japan utilize the Japan Society of Clinical Chemistry (JSCC) method for blood alkaline phosphatase (ALP) analysis. The International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC) method is used worldwide for ALP catalytic concentration measurement. When the IFCC method is used, human blood ALP activity is approximately one-third of the JSCC method’s activity. The JSCC method for ALP measurement was switched to the IFCC method in medical laboratories in Japan in April 2020 for global standardization purpose. It is uncertain whether conventional JSCC method reagents will continue to be supplied. In veterinary medicine, the relationship between the JSCC and IFCC methods in terms of ALP measurement is almost unclear. This study investigated the regression between JSCC and IFCC methods measuring ALP in bovine, canine, feline, and human. The regression formulas for bovine, canine, feline, and human ALP values using the conventional JSCC (x) and IFCC (y) methods are y = 0.379x + 0.124, y = 0.289x + 8.291, y = 0.358x + 0.432, and y = 0.337x + 2.959, respectively. These results suggested that the IFCC method measurement could be estimated by approximately one-third of the JSCC method measurement in animal species such as bovine, canine, and feline. By applying the conversion factors proposed in this study, a very good correlation could be obtained between the two methods for each animal.

“…, p < 0.05) were signi cantly increased in Group H, which indicated that the higher dietary energy and protein levels remarkably improved the growth performance and carcass characteristics of goats in our previous study. In addition, other studies reported that the serum biochemical parameters were sensitive indicators of health status of animals [37][38][39]. In our previous study, few differences in serum biochemical indices between Groups C and H (p > 0.05) suggested the similar healthy status of goats in the two groups [28].…”

Background: Dietary energy and protein play important roles in rumen fermentation. However, the comprehensive impacts of dietary energy and protein on rumen bacterial composition and ruminal metabolites were largely unknown. Therefore, the objective of the current study was to investigate the changes in rumen bacterial community and metabolites in response to the diets with simultaneous changes of dietary energy and protein levels in Shaanbei white cashmere goats (SWCG). Methods: A total of 12 ruminal samples were collected from SWCG, which were divided into two groups, including high-energy and high-protein (Group H; crude protein, CP: 9.37% in dry matter; metabolic energy, ME: 9.24 MJ/kg) or control (Group C; CP: 8.73%; ME:8.60 MJ/kg) groups. The experiment lasted for 65 days, including 10 days for adaptation. 16S rRNA gene sequencing and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) were performed to identify the rumen bacterial community. Metabolomics analysis was done to investigate the rumen metabolites and the related metabolic pathways in Groups C and H. Results: The study observed 539 genera belonging to 30 phyla, which were distributed throughout the rumen samples. The high-energy and high-protein diets increased the relative abundance of phylum Bacteroidetes and genera Prevotella_1 and Succiniclasticum, while decreased the number of phylum Proteobacteria (p<0.05). Among the 24 differential metabolites (VIP>1.0, p<0.05) detected in this study, the dominant differential metabolites were amino acids, peptides and analogs. Tyrosine metabolism played an important role among the 9 main metabolic pathways. Correlation analysis revealed that Prevotella_1 showed strong positive correlation with 5-methoxyindole-3-acetic acid (r=0.601, p<0.05) and catechol (r=0.608, p<0.05). Succiniclasticum was positively correlated with 2-ketoadipate (r=0.741, p<0.01). Conclusions: Our findings revealed that the diets with high energy and protein in Group H significantly altered the composition of ruminal bacteria and metabolites, which could help to improve the dietary energy and protein use efficiency in goats.

Diagnostic efficacy of imaging and biopsy methods for peritoneal mesothelioma in a calf

BackgroundPeritoneal mesothelioma is a rare abdominal disease; that occasionally occurs congenitally in younger calves. Cytologic examination of peritoneal effusion (PE) was utilized to diagnose this disease, and was not diagnostic. Diagnostic accuracy has been elevated by recent use of ultrasonography (US), despite most diagnoses have been obtained post-mortem in slaughter houses or during clinical necropsy. In humans, ante-mortem diagnosis is highly associated with clinical use of computed tomography (CT) and laparoscopy together with imaging-assisted biopsy. The present report evaluates the diagnostic applicability of CT and laparoscopy as well as US via the practical application of these imaging modalities in an affected calf, and compares the cytologic and histologic findings among in PE, and specimens obtained from fine-needle aspiration and core-needle biopsy. In addition, the present results were reviewed in comparison with those of previous bovine and human reports.Case presentationA 58-day-old male Japanese black calf presented first with scrotal swelling, followed by progressive abdominal distention. Abnormalities of the case included: 1) accumulation of anechoic PE inside the swollen scrotum and abdomen; 2) formation of multiple echogenic nodules within the peritoneal membrane based on US images; 3) presence of hyper-dense spots (suspected calcification) along the margins of the nodules; 4) anatomic connections between intra-abdominal nodular lesions and the swollen tunica vaginalis via the inguinal region based on CT images; 5) serosanguineous-colored and less-turbid characteristics of PE; and 6) formation of multiple nodules over all of the serosa of the rumen as well as the peritoneal wall based on laparoscopic views. Fine-needle aspiration and core-needle biopsy were successfully performed under US and laparoscopic observations, respectively. Histology findings of the core-needle biopsy specimen appeared more indicative (characterization of tubular structures comprised of cubical or columnar abnormal mesothelial cell linings) diagnostically of peritoneal mesothelioma than did findings of the fine-needle aspiration specimen.ConclusionsTo the best of our knowledge, this report is the first description of clinical applications of CT and laparoscopy to diagnose peritoneal mesothelioma in a calf. Laparoscopy enhanced the diagnostic accuracy due to clear gross visualization of the intra-abdominal abnormalities and applicability to imaging-guided core-needle biopsy.
