In this study, the effect of ambient temperature on the 45$^{\circ}$micro ESR/hr of cattle blood were observed, and a correction chart for correcting observed values at any ambient temperature to standard values at 20$^{\circ}C$ was plotted. Besides, the effect of storage temperature of blood on the 45$^{\circ}$micro ESR/hr was surveyed. The results were as follows: 1. The values of the 45$^{\circ}$micro ESR/hr were increased as the ambient temperature were elevated(P<0.01), and lower the value of PCV, higher the effect of temperature on the 45$^{\circ}$micro ESR/hr was observed(P<0.01). 2. Regression of values of 45$^{\circ}$micro ESR to ambient temperature in all the group of different level of blood PCV showed linear regression with the highly significant coefficient of correlation. With the results, correction chart was drawn as in Fig. 1. 3. In the purpose to verify the reliability of correction chart, observed values of 45$^{\circ}$micro ESR/hr in field(out door) were corrected to values at 20$^{\circ}C$ by the correction chart(Fig. 1), comparing with the observed values at 20$^{\circ}C$ of standard temperature. No significant differences were found between two groups mentioned above. 4. In the study on the effect of storage temperature of the blood on the 45$^{\circ}$micro ESR/hr, group of storage temperature at 5$^{\circ}C$ showed statistically no significant differences untill 24 hours in contrast with standard control group.

The occurrence of abomasal displacement in Tokachi Shimizu Cho, Hokkaido, Japan has been surveyed in relation to milk production from 1979 to 1986. In 1983 when dairy cows produced over 5.000kg of milk yield per year. the occurrence rate of abomasal displacement increased over 1%. Thereafter, the occurrence rate increased markedly as the milk production approached 6.000kg. In order to increase the number of cows which can be surgically corrected, a special ambulatory vehicle for surgery was designed. Since more cows were surgically corrected. there was a subsequent decrease in the culling rate of cows with abomasal displacement. The present survey indicated that the occurrence rate of abomasal displacement was closely related to milk production, and that surgical correction was a very effective method to treat this condition.

For the epidemiological studies of the respiratory infection from 1,918 heads of adult rabbits from January 1980 to December 1985 at an integrated farm, the causative agents were. Isolated samples 92 from of lungs and nasal discharges, and identified by serological and non-serololgical tests, the loss rates by the infection were also investigatyed, and the antimicrobial sensitivities of the isolates were determined. The results obtained were as fellows : 1. The loss rate by respiratory infection was 11.9% among 1,819 heads which raised and 41.7% among 518 heads which lost by diseases, and the rate increased annually. 2. The loss rate of rabbits in Spring (45.0%), Summer (45.5%) and Winter (53.5%) showed significantly higher (P < 0.01) than that in Autumn(29.1%). 3. The loss rate of Rex (56.3%) showed significantly higher (P<0.05) than New Zealand White (40.7%) and Californian (42.0% ). 4. P. multocida.(37.9%), B. brouchiseptica (16.0%), E. coli (10.6%) and so forth were isolated from 92 samples of lungs and nasal discharges. 5. Sixty fours trains of P. multocida were typed by serological or non-serological tests and their all serotypes were A type (62 strains) except 2 strains of untypable. 6. In antimicrobial sensitivity test for 64 isolates of P. multocida, all the strains tested were highly sensitive to chloramphenicol(95.3%), colistin (95.3%), gentamicin (92.2%), kanamycin (90.6%), neomycin (82.8%) and tetracycline (81.3%), but exhibited low sensitivity to streptomycin (26.6%), and all strains were resistant to lincomycin. 7 Twenty seven isolates of B. brouchiseptica showed higher sensitivity to cephalothin (100%), erythromycin (100% ), gentamicin (100%). trimethoprim+sulfamethoxazole (100%), chloramphenicol(88.9%), kanamycin(88.9%), neomycin (88.9%) and colistin (85.2%), but lower sensitivity to nitrofurantoin (18.5%), penicillin(18.5%). streptomycin(18.5%) and ampicillin (14.8%), and all strains were resistant to lincomycin.

The present studies were undertaken in attempt to investigate the therapeutic effect of ethanol in dogs intoxicated with ethylene glycol Three dogs treated with ethylene glycol and other three dogs with ethylene glycol plus 20% ethanol orally were examined on clinical signs, endoscopic views, histopathological findings, and autopsy findings respectively. The results obtained were summarized as fellows : 1. The clinical sings and their severity of dogs intoxicated with ethylene glycol were time related and progressed from vomiting, depression, thirsty, tachycardia, tachypnea, convulsiot ataxia, melena, uremia and coma, but clinical signs of dogs treated with ethylene glycol and ethanol simultaneously only stowed vomiting and thirsty. 2. In the gastroscopic view, the dogs intoxicated with ethyelne glycol showed edematous, hyperemia, errosive and ulcerative lesions in the fundus and body area but the dogs treated with ethylene glycol and ethanol simultanously showed edematous and hyperemic lesions. 3. Oral treatment of ethanol with ethylene glycol simultaneously have reduced the signs of EG intoxications in dogs.

A cheap, simple, and exact method for the preparation of handmade blowgun was studied. The blowgun-dart-adhesive -stand made of plastic syringe shaft was simple and convenient to make a blowgun dart accuratly. The needle end sealing method with wire-lead(solder) made the needle good to secure and simple to make. Because of easy exchangeability, the tail-piece made of yarn and a rivet is able to use permanently. And the materials of this blowgun were inexpensive, common and easily obtainable. This blowgun dart had various capacity up to 12ml.
