    Bovine dermatophytosis is a highly contagious disease that adversely affects animal growth and reduces meat and milk production. Nutritional deficiencies and immune status are suspected risk factors, but their roles remain unclear. This study investigates the association between trace minerals, vitamins, serum biochemical parameters, and immune-related cytokines with bovine dermatophytosis. Forty calves aged 6~7 months were selected and raised together on the same farm. They were divided into two groups: the control group (n=20) and the infected group (n=20). Serum was collected and analyzed for serum trace minerals, vitamins, biochemical parameters, and cytokine levels. Trichophyton verrucousm was isolated from infected calves. The infected calves had significantly lower zinc (P<0.001) and vitamin E (P=0.02) levels and significantly higher interleukin (IL)-6 (P=0.014) and IL-17A (P=0.018) levels. Regarding serum biochemical parameters, glucose (P=0.008) and total bilirubin (P=0.003) levels were significantly higher in the infected calves than in healthy ones. Hyperglobulinemia and high alkaline phosphatase levels were observed in the infected calves, without statistical significance. Our findings suggest the necessity of considering nutritional elements such as zinc and vitamin E for the prevention and treatment of bovine dermatophytosis. Additionally, the observed changes in immune and serum biochemistry factors post-infection may provide a foundation for future research on the host's biological responses to infection.

    The stressful conditions including heat stress negatively affect to the animal's reproductive performance. Apoptosis of granulosa cells under unexpected stimuli can influence the fate of ovarian follicles and its function. Since the changes in caspase-3, a key executioner of the apoptosis pathway, have not yet been elucidated in heat-stressed sows, this study compared its changes in the ovaries of domestic sows affected by heat stress during summer. The samples were collected at spring (23.1℃; CON group) as suitable temperature for raising pigs or at summer (34.4℃; HS group) as unavoidable chronic heat stress. It was not significant but strong tendency to release higher level of stress hormone (corticosterone) in HS group than that in CON group was identified. A significant upregulation of cleaved (activated) caspase-3 expression in HS group was identified compared to CON group, indicating that apoptosis was increased in the ovarian follicles during summer. The expression of cleaved caspase-3 in the ovaries was positively related with degree of maximal atmospheric temperature and serum levels of corticosterone. The caspase-3-positive cells were more prevalent in mature follicles with localization primarily in the granulosa cell layer than immature follicles. The intensities of caspase-3 in the granulosa cell layer were stronger in HS group than CON group. In conclusion, the present study demonstrated that chronic heat stress during summer in Korea increased activated caspase-3-related apoptosis in the granulosa cells in the mature ovarian follicles, which might suggest that heat stress decreased reproductive performance in the domestic sows during summer.

    The purpose of this study was to investigate seroprevalence of porcine respiratory diseases including porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS), porcine circovirus-2 (PCV-2), Mycoplasma hyopneumonia (MH), Pasteurella multocisa A (PMA), Haemophilus parasuis (HP), Actinobacillus pleuropneumonia type 2 (APP2), and Actinobacillus pleuropneumonia type 5 (APP5) in Jeonbuk state by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Total 5488 samples collected from four breeding pig farms and 55 commercial pig farms were tested. The overall seroprevalence of PCV-2, APP2, APP5, PMA, and HP was higher in breeding pig farms than in commercial pig farms, with higher antibody positivity rate (more than 97%) in breeding pig farms. Seroprevalence of MH or PRRS were 68.4% and 48.7% or 79.4% and 58.2% in commercial pig farms or breeding pig farms, respectively. The overall seroprevalence of the porcine respiratory diseases tested in this study varied depending on the age group of pigs, with the 40-day-old pig group showing the lowest seroprevalence and mean S/P titer ratio.

    To survey different pathogens contaminated in pet shops in Incheon Metropolitan city, a total of 124 samples (67 cage swabs and 57 feed bowl swabs) were collected from 20 pet shops located in Incheon area and tested 10 viruses, one parasite, and 13 food-poisoning causing bacteria by conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or real-time PCR assays in this study. Based on the PCR results for 67 cage swabs, the detection rates of canine herpesvirus, canine parvovirus and canine coronavirus were 13.4% (9/67), 7.5% (5/67), and 1.5% (1/67) respectively. Out of 57 feed bowl swab samples, 6 (10.5%), 3 (5.3%), and 2 (3.5%) were positive for Clostridium perfringens, Bacillus cereus, and enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC), respectively. These results showed that some pet shops in Incheon area were contaminated with different pathogenic viruses, bacteria. Therefore, more extensive efforts are needed to improve the biosecurity and disease prevention in pet animal shops.

    This study investigated the bacterial diversity and pathogenic bacteria in the nasal microbiota of wild boars (Sus scrofa) in South Korea, focusing on their potential role as reservoirs for pathogens. A total of 252 nasal swab samples were collected from wild boars in Namwon-si and Muju-gun between November 2023 and May 2024. The samples were analyzed using 16S rRNA sequencing and culture methods. Thirty-six bacterial species were identified, including 13 pathogenic species such as Streptococcus suis, Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia fergusonii. The presence of these pathogens suggests that wild boars may contribute to the spread of zoonotic diseases, posing risks to both livestock and human health. This study provides fundamental data for developing effective disease control and novel insight into nasal microbiota in wild boar in South Korea.

    The aim of this study was to assess and compare the toxicity and safety of two types of propolis (liquid and powder) in beagle dogs. Blood counts, serum biochemistry, and electrolyte tests were conducted to evaluate acute oral toxicity. Propolis was administered at a 5% concentration and 40 g dosage, and the beagles were monitored for 8 weeks. Three beagles served as controls, while four beagles each were assigned to the liquid and powder groups. No significant clinical signs or changes in feed intake, water consumption, body condition, or hematological/biochemical parameters were observed. The results indicate that oral administration of both liquid and powder propolis does not induce toxicological effects in beagle.

    This study aimed to assess and compare the immune response in beagle dogs following the oral administration of a 5% propolis liquid concentrate and a 1:1 mixture of propolis and wet pet food. To assess the immune response, cell counting kit assays, cytokine enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma, and IL-1 beta, and flow cytometry were conducted. Propolis was administered at a concentration of 5% and a dosage of 20 g, with the beagles monitored over 8 weeks. Three beagles served as controls, while four beagles each were assigned to the propolis-only group and the propolis and feed mixture group. The results demonstrated that, regardless of its form, propolis enhanced immune responses in beagles. These findings suggest that administering of a mixture of propolis and wet pet food may increase the palatability of propolis for beagle dogs while maintaining its immune-enhancing effects.

    In this case study, we present a rare occurrence of simultaneous primary malignant neoplasms arising from the mammary gland and uterus in conjunction with pyometra and inguinal hernia. The subject, a 16-year-old intact mixed-breed dog, exhibited tubulopapillary carcinoma of the mammary gland with grade II malignancy and uterine leiomyosarcoma. Treatment involved partial mastectomy for the mammary carcinoma and ovariohysterectomy for the uterine leiomyosarcoma. Moreover, the inguinal hernia was concurrently repaired during the tumorectomies. The patient demonstrated positive postoperative progress over a span of two years, emphasizing the effectiveness of surgical intervention in managing the coinciding pathologies in an elderly canine. This unique co-occurrence of primary malignant neoplasms originating from distinct organ systems presents valuable insights into diagnostic approaches, disease characteristics, and surgical interventions in the realm of clinical oncology.

    In 2023, an outbreak of Lumpy Skin Disease in Ganghwa-gun, Incheon, South Korea, resulted in nine confirmed cases, comprising 8.4% of the national total, a disproportionately high percentage. Epidemiological investigations indicated a significant role of biting insects in viral transmission, particularly in the northern region. However, human-mediated transmission between farms under the same management was also identified. Clinical presentations in infected cattle varied, ranging from anorexia and skin nodules to severe systemic illness. Control measures included culling and burial of infected animals, a standstill order on susceptible livestock movement, and a mass vaccination campaign encompassing all 21,983 cattle in Incheon. Movement restrictions were gradually lifted following negative test results in designated surveillance, protection, and control zones. Environmental testing conducted 30 days after restriction removal allowed for restocking of previously affected farms. This outbreak highlights the vulnerability of the South Korean cattle industry to LSD and emphasizes the critical need for robust preventative measures, including enhanced vector control strategies and widespread vaccination.

    This case report examines the efficacy of carprofen and rehabilitation therapy in a 7-year-old, 4.5 kg, spayed Poodle with unilateral forelimb lameness. Gait analysis assessed kinetic parameters such as peak vertical force (PVF), vertical impulse (VI), symmetry index (SI), and body load distribution (BLD) before and after treatment. The differences between the left and right forelimbs were recorded. Before intervention, the PVF differences between the forelimbs were -4.00% during walking and 40.00% during trotting. Two weeks post-intervention, these improved to 8.33% and 27.67%, further reducing to 6.33% and 18.00% after four weeks. VI differences also improved, with initial values of -0.67 N∙s during walking and -1.3 N∙s during trotting decreasing to -0.03 N∙s and -0.87 N∙s, respectively. SI increased from 6.23% to 11.87% during walking, while it decreased from 33.63% to 14.73% during trotting. BLD differences reduced from -1.17 cm2 and -7.13 cm2 to 0.23 cm2 and -2.17 cm2, respectively, after four weeks. These results suggest that a combination of carprofen administration and rehabilitative intervention can effectively reduce lameness and improve symmetry in dogs with unilateral forelimb lameness, as evidenced by improvements in key gait parameters over the treatment period.
