“…Common postoperative complications include hemorrhage, infection and urethral stricture. 1 PU procedures can require the placement of a rubber or silicone catheter for several days while the surgery site heals. Care should be taken to keep any catheters originating from the urinary tract clean, as bacterial colonization with multiple antimicrobial species has been reported with foley catheters following tube cystostomy procedures in goats.…”

“…In the early stages of an obstruction cattle can be actively in discomfort, exhibiting signs such as kicking at the abdomen, pacing, restlessness and flagging the tail. 1 After this initial period, when either the bladder or the urethra rupture, the pressure from the obstruction abates and the animal may not have significant clinical signs until a bladder rupture contributes to ascites or a urethral rupture results in ventral subcutaneous swelling. Both of these presentations can lead to uremia, which can sometimes be smelled on the breath of an animal in this stage.…”

Urolithiasis is a common condition in steers and bulls due to nutritional and anatomical factors. Prevention practices share common aspects as well as aspects specific to certain urolith types. In this presentation we will discuss the underlying factors and preventive measures for urolithiasis in cattle, as well as surgical management. Restraint, sedation, surgical approaches and postoperative considerations will be discussed for both salvage procedures as well as cattle with breeding potential.

“…Reproductive control methods are mainly divided into surgical and non-surgical. Castration is the most common form of surgical sterilization but can be associated with morbidity and mortality, and is often impractical [ 5 , 6 ]. Non-surgical methods are therefore preferable for population control in invasive pest, as well as domesticated, animals.…”

Polyacrylate-GnRH Peptide Conjugate as an Oral Contraceptive Vaccine Candidate

et al. 2021

Contraceptive vaccines are designed to elicit immune responses against major components of animal reproductive systems. These vaccines, which are most commonly administered via injection, typically target gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). However, the need to restrain animals for treatment limits the field applications of injectable vaccines. Oral administration would broaden vaccine applicability. We explored contraceptive vaccine candidates composed of GnRH peptide hormone, universal T helper PADRE (P), and a poly(methylacrylate) (PMA)-based delivery system. When self-assembled into nanoparticles, PMA-P-GnRH induced the production of high IgG titers after subcutaneous and oral administration in mice. PADRE was then replaced with pig T helper derived from the swine flu virus, and the vaccine was tested in pigs. High levels of systemic antibodies were produced in pigs after both injection and oral administration of the vaccine. In conclusion, we developed a simple peptide–polymer conjugate that shows promise as an effective, adjuvant-free, oral GnRH-based contraceptive vaccine.

The aim of the study is to determine the effect of immunocastration vaccine administration at different doses on fattening performance of feedlot Holstein bulls. In this research, 94 Holstein male calves assigned to the 4 treatments. Control group; 1 mL of 0.9% saline solution was subcutaneously injected to intact bulls on 1st and 60th days of the feedlot as placebo. On the same days of the feedlot, Immunocastration vaccine (Bopriva®) at two doses of 1 mL and 1 mL for Trial-1 group, 1.5 mL and 1.5 mL for Trial-2 group, 1.5 mL and 1 mL for Trial-3 group were subcutaneously injected to bulls. The feedlot lasted 180 days. Immunocastration vaccine administration at different doses did not affect the live weights (LWs) and cold carcass yields of feedlot Holstein bulls (P>0.05). However, it reduced fattening performance between 61-120 days (P<0.05) and 1-180 days (P<0.01). As a result, it was decreased the fattening performance that administration of Bopriva® at different doses as a GnRH vaccine in Holstein male bulls; whereas it was determined that numerically increase in average daily live weight gain was found in the Trial-2 group than the other groups to which the immunocastration vaccine was applied.
