“…In addition, M. felis has been detected in similar numbers between age groups (Lobova et al, 2019). In addition, M. felis has been detected in 5-month-old Korean cats (Hong et al, 2015). It FHV is most frequently detected in URTD (Kang and Park, 2008;Litster et al, 2015;Schulz et al, 2015;Maazi et al, 2016;Walter et al, 2020).…”

Feline upper respiratory tract disease (URTD) includes a wide range of clinical signs and is not a specific disease. It is defined as a syndrome with clinical signs, such as nasal and ocular exudates, sneezing, conjunctivitis, cough, fever, lack of energy, and loss of appetite. The causes of feline URTD are divided into infectious and non-infectious causes. First, as for infectious causes, viruses such as feline herpesvirus (FHV) and feline calicivirus (FCV); primary bacteria such as Bordetella bronchiseptica (B. bronchiseptica), Chlamydia felis (C. felis), and Mycoplasma felis (M. felis); and secondary bacteria such as Pasteurella multocida (P. multocida) are suggested as major pathogens (Holst et al, 2010; Sykes, 2014; Litster et al, 2015). M. felis may be part of the normal bacterial flora in the feline upper respiratory tract but is mainly found in cats with respiratory signs or healthy cats living with infected cats. Recently, it has been considered a major pathogen in feline URTD (Holst et al, 2010; Hong et al, 2015; Lobova et al, 2019). However, a vaccine against M. felis infection has not yet been developed. Therefore, cats infected with M. felis are managed with adjuvant therapy to improve immunity along with long-term antibiotic administration (Lappin et al, 2017). P. multocida is a gram-negative bacterium classified into five serogroups (A, B, D, E, and F) based on capsule composition and somatic serotype (Kuhnert and Christensen, 2008

“…PCR tests for differential diagnosis of URTD have become common (Sykes et al, 1999;Kang andPark, 2008 Holst et al, 2010;Berger et al, 2015;Hong et al, 2015;Litster et al, 2015;Lobova et al, 2019;Walter et al, 2020), and are performed according to the degree of response to the primary diagnosis and treatment of the infection.…”

Purpose: This study was conducted to improve the quality characteristics of pork intestine through different pretreatment processes. Methods: We washed pork intestine by both physical (tap water, UV, and sonication) and chemical methods (alcohol, acetic acid, flour and NaCl) as pretreatment process. The physicochemical (pH, color, volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), and 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS)) and microbial properties of pre-treated pork small intestine were evaluated. Results: The nature of the pretreatment method influenced the pH value of pork small intestine. The acetic acid treatment resulted in the lowest pH value. In physical method, the color value and the number of microorganism were significantly affected by sonication as compared to other treatments. TBARS value of pork small intestine after all the treatments was lower than the control. However, VBN exhibited no significant differences in its value irrespective of the nature of treatment. Appearance and control exhibited lowest value in response to sonication treatment. However, off-flavor and overall acceptability were higher in sonication treatment than other treatments. In chemical method involving NaCl and flour treatments, lightness and redness were lower than other treatments. Lowest VBN and TBARS values were noted in alcohol and acetic acid treatmentsand no growth of E. coli and coliform bacteria was observed. The other treatments resulted in lower values of VBN, TBARS, and microbial counts than the control. Appearance and color value after alcohol, acetic acid, and flour treatment were lower than the control and NaCl treatment. Off-flavor and overall acceptability of by-product after alcohol, flour, and NaCl treatments were higher than the control and acetic acid treatment. Conclusion: Overall, we present NaCl treatment and sonication treatment in the form of a combination pretreatment method as the optimal condition for processing pork intestine.
