The prevalence of warbles (Przhevalskiana silenus Brauer) and efficacy of ivomec against naturally occurring warble infestation in goats in Pothowar area of Pakistan was investigated. About 58.4% of the examined goats (total 301), were infedted by the warbles. The number of warbles per animal ranged from 1 to 23 (mean 5.1). Ivomec (ivermectin 1% w/v, Merck Sharp and Dhome, Netherlands) at the dose of 1 ml/50 kg of body weight proved excellent against this pest. The larvae of all the stages died inside the warbles after treatment and no skin perforations were observed in the treated animals. No side-effects of the drug were observed in the treated animals, except 2-3 minutes of bleating in a few animals at the time of injection.

This experiment was performed to investigate the electrocardiographic changes in experimentally induced hypocalcemia and hypercalcemia in Korean black goats by dosing with 5% disodiumethylene diamine tetraacetic acid at 0.07$m\ell$/kg body weight/min and 10% Ca-borog-luconate at 0.075 $m\ell$/kg body weight/min, respectively. the result were summarized as follows： Heart rate, S-T segment and Q-Tc interval at 3.23 ${\pm}$ 0.10mEq/L plasma calcium level(hypocalcemia) were increased to 100${\pm}$10.5 rate/min, 132 ${\pm}$10msec and 510${\pm}$40msec, respectively. Heart rate, S-T segment and Q-T interval at 6.89${\pm}$0.23mEq/L plasma calcium level(hypercalcemia) were decreased to 73.2${\pm}$5.16 rate/min, 87${\pm}$10msec and 372${\pm}$30msec, respectively. The degree of changes of the heart rate, S-T segment and Q-Tc interval at low plasma calcium level was higher than those at high plasma calcium level.

Pathological studies on 6 milk goats administrated with urea were carried out to determine the effects of acute and chronic poisonings on the animal. Clinical signs appeared about 10 minutes after ingestion of the urea and they consisted chiefly in dullness, staggering, uncontrolled urination, dyspnea, frothy salivation, bloating, muscular tremor, humping of back and tetanic spasms. Macroscopic lesions were failure of blood clot, frothy and bloody contents in the highly congested respiratory tract, pulmonary edema, rumenitis and abomatitis accompanying with petechiation of the upper small intestine. Microscopically, the liver showed vacuolar degeneration, fatty change and areas of necrosis and partial proliferation of the interlobular connective tissues in chronic crises. The renal epithelium displaced vacuolar degeneration, necrosis and hyaline casts in their lumens. In the lungs, there were hyperemia, edema, hemorrhages, and acute catarrhal bronchitis. Neuronal degeneration and necrosis in the central nervous system, catarrhal rumenitis, abomatitis, doudenitis and myocardial hemorrhage were also demonstrated.

Akabane virus is a cause of severe congenital defects, but adult animals show no signs of infection. In this study, congenital abnormalitis associated with Akabane virus infection in Korean native goat. The prevalence of serum neutralizing antibodies to Akabane virus in goat population was investigated, indicating that approximately 30% of goats in Korea were seropositive(36/120). The mother goats have the highest titers of neutralizing antibodies, as 1:128. And also there showed seropositive of Akabane virus in newborn fetus fluids. The necropsy results of newborn fetus visceral organs were appeared normal. These findings provide that Akabane virus is the ethiological agent of congenital abnormalitis and stillbirth. Our results suggest that goat in natural situations are part of the Akabane virus transmission cycle.

Anaplasmosis is a tick-borne disease mainly of cattle, sheep, and goats. Anaplasmosis in goat had been reported at last year by authors. The disease brought the economic losses in the goat farm in Chonbuk province. In order to treat the disease, a long-acting formulation terramycin injectable solution was used experimental animals which indigenous goats were sick with moderate anemia. We were devided into two groups was treated with single dosage (20mg /kg of body weight). one group was treated with single injection, the other group was treated with twice of the same dosage intramusculary injection. The results indicate that the use of long-acting terramycin would minimize clinical signs of anaplasmosis infection in goat. After treament the differrences of hematological appearences and parasitaemia were observed in the effect of terramycin treatment. obviously, increased value of RBC. HB and HCT, and parasitaemia by means of Giemsa staining and acrydine orange staining was observed decreased due to treatment.

The biovars and serovars of 57 strains of Pasteurella haemolytica(P haemolytica) isolated from pneumonic calves and goats were investigated. The biovars were determined some biochemical and cultural properties and susceptibility to penicillin. All 57 isolates were considered to correspond to biovar A. Among 57 P haemolytica, 39 isolates of them(68.4%) were serovar 1.2(3.5%) were serovar 5 and 2(3.5%) were serovar 7, the remaining 14 isolates(24.6%) were untypable.

The each rumen of six goats was incised and sutured with chromic catgut, polyglycolic acid and nylon. Tissue reaction to each suture materials was observed and comared at the 7th, 14th and 21st post-operative days. The predominent inflammatory cells around suture materials are macrophages, fibroblast and neutrophils. A few lymphocytes was infiltrated around suture materials. Infiltration of neutrophils was rapidly diminished but infiltration of macrophages, fibroblasts and lymphocytes were persisted. The overall grade of tissue reaction varid by suture materials. At the 7th post-operative days, tissue reaction to chromic catgut was most prominant and that of polyglycolic acid and nylon was moderate. At the 14th and 21st postoperative days, tissue reaction to each suture materials was not greatly different.

The study characterized Trueperella pyogenes (T. pyogenes) from caseous lymphadenitis (CLA) in Korean native goats (KNG). CLA samples (n=191) were obtained from abattoir-slaughtered KNG. Pus were obtained and Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis was detected by PCR using PLD gene. Three PLD-negative samples (1.57%) from supramammary lymph node were subjected to bacterial culture. Isolates were identified using 16S rRNA and biochemically characterized by APIZYM. Phylogenetic and biochemical analyses identified the isolates as T. pyogenes, and have shown separate clusters and varied enzyme reaction, suggesting genotypic and phenotypic diversity. This first report of T. pyogenes-induced CLA in KNG provided information for further investigations.
