The goats raised in the barn are usually fed on fresh grass. As dry forage can be stored for long periods in large amounts, dry forage feeding makes it possible to feed large numbers of goats in barns. This review explains the physiological factors involved in suppressing dry forage intake and the cause of drinking following dry forage feeding. Ruminants consume an enormous amount of dry forage in a short time. Eating rates of dry forage rapidly decreased in the first 40 min of feeding and subsequently declined gradually to low states in the remaining time of the feeding period. Saliva in large-type goats is secreted in large volume during the first hour after the commencement of dry forage feeding. It was elucidated that the marked suppression of dry forage intake during the first hour was caused by a feeding-induced hypovolemia and the loss of $NaHCO_3$ due to excessive salivation during the initial stages of dry forage feeding. On the other hand, it was indicated that the marked decrease in feed intake observed in the second hour of the 2 h feeding period was related to ruminal distension caused by the feed consumed and the copious amount of saliva secreted during dry forage feeding. In addition, results indicate that the marked decreases in dry forage intake after 40 min of feeding are caused by increases in plasma osmolality and subsequent thirst sensations produced by dry forage feeding. After 40 min of the 2 h dry forage feeding period, the feed salt content is absorbed into the rumen and plasma osmolality increases. The combined effects of ruminal distension and increased plasma osmolality accounted for 77.6% of the suppression of dry forage intake 40 min after the start of dry forage feeding. The results indicate that ruminal distension and increased plasma osmolality are the main physiological factors in suppression of dry forage intake in large-type goats. There was very little drinking behavior observed during the first hour of the 2 h feeding period most water consumption occurring in the second hour. The cause of this thirst sensation during the second hour of dry forage feeding period was not hypovolemia brought about by excessive salivation, but rather increases in plasma osmolality due to the ruminal absorption of salt from the consumed feed. This suggests the water intake following dry forage feeding is determined by the level of salt content in the feed.

We report the electrocution of Korean native cattle by a fallen electric wire, which caused the death of thirteen animals. The owner of the cattle felt an electric shock on touching the steel pen and found a fallen 220-V wire on the roof of the barn; additionally, the roof was singed. Clinically, the animals developed spasm, difficulty breathing, and excessive salivation. Histopathologically, many visceral organs revealed severe congestion or hemorrhage, which is consistent with previous reports. This study revealed that the proper installation of electric wires on farms is essential to prevent economic loss by electrocution.

A 2-month-old, 50 kg male Korean native calf was referred with bilateral mandibular fractures. The bilateral mandible was hanging loose, with inability to use the jaw, indicated by excessive salivation. Radiography revealed a long oblique fracture in the right mandible, and a short oblique fracture in the left mandible. Computerized Tomography, a different form of radiography, revealed the fracture in the left mandible to be a comminuted fracture. In order to stabilize the bilateral mandible fractures, a combination of bone plate and wiring was applied; in addition, resin was applied to enhance stabilization of the mandible. Six weeks after surgery, the calf was able to masticate and ruminate well. In this case, application of the plate and wiring with resin to bilateral mandibular fractures presented a successful functional recovery. Accordingly, the combination of bone plate and wiring with resin can be an effective technique for treating mandibular fractures.

Excessive intake of sodium caused by high salt diet promotes the expression of inflammatory cytokines and differentiation of helper T cells resulting in inflammatory responses. High-glucose diet also contributes to the pathogenesis of periodontitis by inducing changes in the oral microbiome and reducing salivation. However, the effect of a high-salt and glucose diet (HSGD) on the prognosis of periodontitis remains unclear. In this study, a rat model of experimental periodontitis was established by periodic insertion of absorbable sutures containing Porphyromonas gingivalis and Fusobacterium nucleatum strains into the right gingival sulcus to analyze the effect of HSGD on the incidence and progression of periodontitis. The alveolar bone heights (ABH) was measured with microcomputed tomography imaging of the HSGD- and general diet (GD)-treated groups. The right ABH was significantly decreased compared to the left in both groups at 4 weeks after induction of inflammation; however, no significant difference was noted between the groups. Notably, the ABH in the HSGD-treated group was significantly decreased at 8 weeks after induction of inflammation, whereas in the GD-treated group, an increase in the ABH was observed; a significant difference of the ABH was noted between the two groups (p < 0.05). At 12 weeks, recovery of the alveolar bone was observed in both groups, with no significant differences in ABH between the two groups. These findings indicate that the intake of excessive sodium attenuates the recovery rate of the alveolar bone even after the local infectant is removed. In addition, this study demonstrates the use of HSGD in establishing a new animal model of periodontitis.

Here, we report the poisoning case of 10 cows. Several distinct clinical signs such as convulsion, excessive salivation, circling, lateral recumbency, and death were observed. Necropsy and histopathological examination did not reveal any significant abnormal findings. Moreover, no bacteria or viruses were detected in tissue, blood, and feeding food. However, endosulfan was detected from the stomach contents and microbials. Our results strongly suggest that death of cows may be closely associated with endosulfan poisoning.

목 적: 부식성 식도염은 화학적 화상으로 인하여 식도 협착 등과 같은 심각한 합병증을 초래할 수 있는 질환으로 예방과 함께 적절한 조기 치료가 중요하다. 그러나 부식성 식도염에 대한 국내의 연구는 그리 많지 않는 실정이다. 이에 저자들은 부식성 물질을 섭취하고 내원한 환아에서 임상 양상, 상부위장관 내시경 소견 및 식도 협착과 같은 합병증 발생 여부에 대해 알아보고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1992년 1월부터 1999년 12월까지 전남대학교 병원 응급실과 소아과 외래에 부식성 물질의 섭취하고 내원한 31명의 환아를 대상으로 병력지를 후향적으로 검토하여 나이, 성별, 원인물질, 초기 임상증상 및 증후, 식도 협착의 발생빈도와 부위, 치료 및 경과에 대해 알아보았다. 또한 초기 내시경 검사를 시행했던 21명의 환아에서 손상부위와 정도를 알아보고 후기 합병증 발생과의 관계에 대하여 조사하였다. 결 과: 1) 평균 연령은 2세 3개월(12개월~9세 2개월)이었으며 남녀비는 2:1로 남아가 많았다. 환아의 대부분(27명)은 빙초산을 섭취한 후 내원하였다. 2) 내원시 임상 증상은 연하곤란이 17명(54.8%), 구토가 15명(48.3%), 피부 및 입술의 화상이 각각 14명(45.2%), 분비물 과다가 14명(45.2%), 경한 호흡기 증상이 10명(32.3%)이었고 흡인성 폐렴은 3명(9.8%)에서 관찰되었다. 3) 급성기에 상부위장관 내시경 검사를 시행하였던 21명의 환아 중 1도 손상은 8명, 2도 손상은 7명, 3도 손상은 2명에서 관찰되었다. 식도 손상의 부위는 식도 전장에 걸친 손상이 9례, 근위부 손상이 5례, 원위부 손상이 3례이었다. 21명의 환아 중 6례에서 위 점막 손상이 관찰되었다. 4) 식도 협착은 6명(19.4%)에서, 평균 5주에 발생하였으며 모두 빙초산 섭취 후 발생하였고, 황산차 밧데리 용액을 섭취한 환아 1례(3.2%)에서 위유문부 협착이 발생하였다. 1례에서 빙초산 섭취후 흡인성 폐렴으로 사망하였다. 5) 점막 손상의 정도와 식도 협착과의 관계를 보면 손상이 없거나 경미한 1도 손상에서는 모두 식도 협착이 발생하지 않았으나, 2도 손상을 보인 7명중 3명(42.9%)에서 3도의 식도 손상을 보인 2명 모두에서 식도 협착이 발생하였다. 결 론: 부식성 물질을 섭취하고 내원한 환아에서 조기에 시행한 상부위장관 내시경 검사는 식도 협착의 발생 가능성을 예측할 수 있는 유용한 검사로 생각되었으며, 적절한 치료에도 불구하고 높은 합병증의 발생을 보여 무엇보다도 우발 사고의 예방을 위해 가정에서 부식성 물질에 대한 철저한 관리가 필요하리라 사료되었다.
