To find out the effect of oxytocin on somatic cell count and milk production, 12 primiparous and multiparous Murrah buffaloes were selected, immediately after the parturition, from the Institute's buffalo herd. These were divided into two groups of 6 each. Buffaloes of group I did not receive oxytocin injection (control); whereas, buffaloes of group II were administered oxytocin during early lactation (av. 42.50 days). The oxytocin injection was given in doses of 2.5 IU i.m. before the start of milking, to let down the milk, for a period of 5 days. Samples of milk from individual buffaloes were collected for 5 days before (Period I), during (Period II) and after (Period III) from both the group of buffaloes. Milk samples of A. M. and P. M. milking were composited in proposition to milk yields for analysis of milk constituents. Normal values of somatic cell counts in group I of buffaloes varied from 0.54 to $0.75{\times}10^{5}cells/ml$. Mean cytoplasmic particles and epithelial cells varied from 3.68 to $7.19{\times}10^{5}cells/ml$ and 0.13 to $0.54{\times}10^{5}cells/ml$. On percentage basis the epithelial and the total leucocyte count were 60 and 40. Total leucocyte count, in the study varied from 0.17 to $0.69{\times}10^{5}cells/ml$. The differential cell count of milk indicated presence of lymphocytes (16.50 to $61.16{\times}1000$), neutrophil (0.00 to $2.00{\times}1000$) and monocyte (0.00 to $18.16{\times}1000$). Somatic cell count (p<0.01) and epithelial cells (p<0.05) varied between buffaloes and between periods of study. Total leucocyte counts of milk were also significantly varied between periods (p<0.05). The change in fat, lactose, chloride, EC and NEFA concentrations during different periods of study, were highly significant, indicated diurnal variations in different buffaloes during different days of experiment. Administration of oxytocin resulted in increase in somatic cell counts of milk (p<0.01) due to the increases in total leucocyte count (p<0.01) during the treatment period. The differential cell count indicated that oxytocin administration increased lymphocyte number significantly (p<0.01). However, secretion of neutrophil, monocyte and cytoplasmic particles were not affected by oxytocin. Eosinophil and basophil cell, though present in few samples, remain unaffected by oxytocin administration. There was no effect of oxytocin on milk production, composition, pH, EC and NEFA concentration.

The present research was carried out to evaluate the possibility of increasing female offspring production ratios using artificial insemination buffer (AIB) before artificial insemination (AI). In this experiment, we optimized AIB composition, made an AIB gun and analyze factors affecting AI non-return rate after AIB treatment. The AIB was made with the base of Tris-buffer supplemented with L-arginine and several other chemicals that might reduce the motility of male sperm compared to the female counterpart, therefore, increasing the possibility of fertilization by female sperm. AIB must be deposited into $2^{nd}$ to $4^{th}$ cervix by AIB gun. After 15 min of AIB deposition, frozen semen was deposited into the same place. A total of 348 cattle were inseminated with AIB insemination, and there were no significant differences between AIB and traditional AI non-return rates (56.8% vs. 55.7%). The AI non-return rate in AIB group, however, differed significantly among 7 Hanwoo farms. The parturition numbers ($1^{st}$ to $7^{th}$) of cows did not affect AIB AI rate. The proportion of AIB AI success rates was significantly higher in Hanwoo cows than in dairy cows (61.0% vs. 48.7%), but the average AI success rate did not differ significantly between AIB and conventional AI (56.8% vs. 55.7%). The female offspring production rate in $2^{nd}$ to $4^{th}$ cervix deposition place was significantly higher than that in the uterus body (77.7% vs. 59.6%, p<0.05). The injection volume of AIB in 5 and 10 ml was significantly higher than that in 2 ml (77.7%, 78.7% vs. 51.8%, p<0.05), but there were no differences in AIB injection volume between 5 and 10 ml. The best exposure time of AIB in the cervix was 10 to 15 min rather than 5 min (79.2%, 77.2% vs. 52.6%, p<0.05). AIB therefore needs to have an exposure time of at least over 10 min for a higher production rate of female offspring. In conclusion, AIB could be used in AI industry to increase the female offspring ratio and AIB AI can increase the AI success rate.

Objectives : The aim of this study is to report the effect of herbal medicine and acupuncture on a breastfeeding woman's postpartum urticaria which was unresponsive to a 1st generation antihistamine and a topical steroid. Methods : Wheals and pruritus occurred to a 36-year-old breastfeeding woman 2 days after the parturition. Symptoms were unresponsive to about a week of systemic antihistamine and topical steroid treatments. GamiSamul-tang herbal decoction was administered three times a day for the first 21 days and twice a day for the next 10 days of the treatment. Acupuncture treatment was applied to 12 acupoints (both sides of LI04, LR03, ST36, LI11, SP10, SP6) for 15 minutes once a week, 5 times in total. The patient's symptom was evaluated with Weekly Urticaria Activity Scale (UAS7) and Visual Analogue Scale for Worst Pruritus within 24 hours ($VAS_{Pruritus}$) each time the patient visited out-patient department. Results : The scores of UAS7 and $VAS_{Pruritus}$ at the baseline were 38 and 8.2 respectively. 10 days after the herbal medicine and acupuncture treatment began, both decreased to 0 and wheal, pruritus, erythema didn't appeared again for the rest of the follow up periods. Conclusions : This study shows the possibility of using GamiSamul-tang and acupuncture to treat postpartum urticaria.

For estimating the ovulation time in Miniature Schnauzer dogs during the estrous cycle, radioimmunoassay of plasma estradiol-$17{\beta}$ and progesterone concentrations was conducted on blood samples in 21 pregnant and 13 non pregnant dogs. When Day 0 was that plasma progesterone concentrations exceeded 4.0 ng/ml, on Day 64, parturition day, progesterone declined below 1.0 ng/ml with $0.92\;{\pm}\;0.29\;ng/ml$ and when Day 0 was that plasma progesterone concentrations declined below 1.0 ng/ml, on Day -64, progesterone increased above 4.0 ng/ml with $4.56\;{\pm}\;0.87\;ng/ml$. Gestational length was $63.71\;{\pm}\;1.35$ (Mean${\pm}$S.D.) days from plasma progesterone concentrations exceeded 4.0 ng/ml and was $66.29\;{\pm}\;1.98$ days from first male acceptance. The plasma estradiol-$17{\beta}$ concentrations reached maximum value with $28.20\;{\pm}\;2.86\;pg/ml$ on Day .2, and plasma progesterone concentrations reached $5.90\;{\pm}\;0.36 ng/ml, 5.18\;{\pm}\;0.32 ng/ml on Day 0, and the maximum of 61.58\;{\pm}\;10.47 ng/ml on Day 19 and 56.05\;{\pm}\;8.86\;ng/ml$ on Day 16 in pregnant and non pregnant dogs, respectively. Afterward, plasma progesterone concentrations declined below 1.0 ng/ml on Day 64 with $0.92\;{\pm}\;0.29\;ng/ml$ in pregnant cycles and on Day 58 with $0.95\;{\pm}\;0.63\;ng/ml$ in non pregnant dogs. No difference were found pregnant and non pregnant dogs in plasma estradiol-$17{\beta}$ and progesterone concentrations (p<0.01). Based on first male acceptance (Day 0), the maximum of plasma estradiol-$17{\beta}$ concentrations ($29.31\;{\pm}\;3.61\;pg/ml$) occurred on Day -1 and plasma progesterone concentrations exceeded 4.0 ng/ml on Day 2 in pregnant ($5.37\;{\pm}\;0.76\;ng/ml$) and non pregnant ($4.25\;{\pm}\;0.80\;ng/ml$) dogs. These results suggest that in Miniature Schnauzers, the ovulation occurred when plasma progesterone concentrations exceeded 4.0 ng/ml, 3 days after plasma estradiol-$17{\beta}$ peak and 2 days after first male acceptance.

The purpose of this study firstly was conducted to establish a radioimmunoassay (RIA) of estrone sulfate ($E_1S$), secondly to monitor the reproductive status of dairy cows using their urine samples. Urine and blood samples were collected in series within a day from four pregnant Holstein-friesian cows to evaluate the relationship between $E_1S$ levels in blood and urine with or without urinary creatinine basis. The urine was then collected biweekly from three cows in estrous and those artificially inseminated; collection from pregnant cows was made on a monthly basis. Results indicated that sensitivity for the $E_1S$ RIA was 5 pg/tube and the recovery rate was 100%. The daily urinary creatinine concentrations fluctuated within a day, but changes were slighter in midday, whereas the changes of concentrations of $E_1S$ in urine were relatively smaller. The concentrations of serum $E_1S$ during the estrous cycle were undetectable due to the limitation of assay, but the urinary $E_1S$ level could be measured with no obvious changes during the cycle. The urinary $E_1S$ levels increased remarkably around 7.7 to 8.3 ng/ml, 80 to 100 days after pregnancy but the serum $E_1S$ levels did not elevate until 120 to 150 days. The level of $E_1S$ increased gradually during pregnancy and eventually reached its peak before parturition at around 40 ng/ml and finally decreased to its basal level 2 days postparturition. During pregnancy, $E_1S$ concentrations of urine increased earlier than those in blood. The correlation coefficients between urinary and serum $E_1S$ concentration during pregnancy and postparturm were higher than those adjusted with creatinine (creatinine ratio). The concentrations of $E_1S$ in urine could be maintained unchanged for 8 days storing the samples in room temperature, which was extended to 8 days when the samples were pretreated by boiling for 30 minutes or treated with autoclave. In conclusion urinary $E_1S$ concentrations can be used directly for monitoring the pregnant status and fetal viability of dairy cows and can assist accurate confirmation of pregnancy in cows at least 80 to 100 days after insemination much earlier than by serum $E_1S$.

유방염은 젖소에 있어서 유량의 감소, 유질 저하로 인한 우유 폐기문제, 젖소의 도태, 치료비 및 노동력의 부담등을 초래하는 가장 경제적 손실이 큰 질환이다. 현재까지 비유기 최종 착유 후에 항생제를 주입하는 건유기 치료법이 유방염 관리에 가장 효과적이며 폭넓게 쓰이고 있는 방법으로 알려져 있다. 하지만, 건유기 치료는 건유기 주입 항생제 제품들이 건유기 초기에만 지속적인 활성을 지니기 때문에 건유기 말기와 분만 전기에 있어서의 신규 감염은 방어할 수 없다. 따라서 본 연구는 건유기 유방염 관리를 위해 PLGA를 이용한 서방형 생분해 cephalexin microsphere를 제조하여 이의 임상적 효능을 평가하고자 하였다. PLGA는 무독성의 조직 반응을 일으키지 않는 특성으로 인해 약물 방출 조절 체계의 일환으로 인정을 받아왔다. 본 연구에서 cephalexin microsphere는 표면에 특징적인 구멍을 가지고 있는 구형 모양으로 확인이 되었으며 약물 방출 시험에서 초기 과다 방출 이후로 21일간 약물의 방출이 점차 감소한 뒤 3주와 4주 사이에 2차 방출을 보이는 맥동성 방출 양상이 관찰되었다. 현장적용 시험에서는 cephalexin microsphere를 주입한 실험군에서 대조군에 비해 분만 후 신규 감염율 및 치료율, 평균 체세포 수의 변화의 측면에서 볼 때 유의성 있는 차이가 있음을 확인하였다. 따라서 생분해 microsphere를 이용한 건유기 치료법은 건유기 동안 신규 감염을 예방하고 기감염을 감소시킴으로써 종전의 건유기 치료를 좀 더 효과적으로 증진시킬 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구는 재래 흑염소의 인공수정기술을 개발하여 우수한 재래 흑염소의 이용효율을 극대화시키는데 그 목적을 두고 축산연구소 가축유전자원 시험장에서 사육하고 있는 재래 흑염소의 정액을 채취하여 이를 동결보존한 후 필요시 사용하였다. 발정동기화 처리로 인위적으로 발정을 유기한 개체에 인공수정을 실시하여 처리방법별 발정 유기율, 호르몬의 변화양상 및 분만율을 조사하였다. 발정동기화 방법 중 CIDR+$PGF_2a$ 방법에서 $55.6\%$, CIDR+PMSG 방법에서 $40.0\%$ 발정이 발현되었다. CIDR+$PGF_2a$와 CIDR+PMSG 두 처리구에서 CIDR삽입 후 progesterone 농도가 상승하여 CIDR 제거하는 당일까지 높은 수준의 progesterone의 혈중 농도를 유지하였다. 그러나 CIDR를 제기하면 다음날 바로 그 농도가 1 ng/mL 수준으로 급격히 떨어지는 것을 확인함으로써 재래 흑염소의 발정동기화를 위해 CIDR를 이용하는 것이 유용한 방법으로 확인되었다. 이들 중 CIDR+$PGF_2a$를 사용하였을 경우 신선 정액에서 $25\%$, 동결정액에서 $20\%$의 분만율을 나타내었다.

본 연구는 국내 대규모 양돈농장에 HACCP 시스템을 적용 후 나타나는 생산성 및 안전성의 지표인 분만율, 총 산자수, 초기 포유개시 두수, 이유 두수, 이유후 육성율, 이유일령, 모돈두당 연간 비육돈 출하두수와 월평균 약제비, 농장에서의 사용항생제수 사육구간별 사료내 항생제 첨가 농가수-사료공장에서 첨가, 사육구간별 사료내 항생제 첨가 농가수-농장에서 첨가 등을 조사하여 그 효과를 검토하고 이를 향후 수행할 농장 HACCP 연구 관련 기초 자료로 사용하기 위한 목적으로 실시하였다. 분만율은 HACCP 적용 전에 비하여 적용 후 유의적으로 증가하는 것으로 조사되었다(p<0.05). 모돈 두당 연간 규격돈 출하두수도 HACCP 적용 전 17.99두였으나 적용 후 18.83두로 유의적으로 증가하였다(p<0.05). 농장에서의 사용항생제수는 적용 전 8.88개에서 적용 후 6.13개로 약 25.97%가 유의적으로 감소하였다(p<0.05). 특히 사육구간별 항생제 첨가농장수-농장에서 첨가는 비육구간에서 HACCP 적용 전에는 전체 10개 농장 중 4개 농장이 해당되었으나 적용 후에는 모든 농장에서 항생제를 사료에 첨가하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구결과에 의하면 대규모 양돈농장에 HACCP 시스템을 적용할 경우 동물용 의약품 사용 감소와 함께 농장의 생산성에도 좋은 효과가 있을 것으로 판단되며 동시에 소비자에게 더욱 안전한 축산물을 제공할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
