Maxillary unicystic ameloblastoma in a 6 ‐week‐old filly evaluated with computed tomography
Case reportA 6‐week‐old Thoroughbred filly was presented for evaluation of an expansile mass overlying the right nasal passage and causing respiratory stertor. On skull radiographs, there was a loculated, soft tissue‐opaque mass identified dorsal to the right upper premolars and effacing the right nasal cavity. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a locally extensive mass with relatively benign characteristics located centrally on the tooth root apices of the deciduous second premolar (506). The mass extended axially into the right nasal cavity, occluding the meatuses and causing displacement of the nasal septum to the ...

Chemical stability of morphine and methadone, and of methadone in combination with acepromazine, medetomidine or xylazine, during prolonged storage in syringes
ConclusionPre‐dispensing morphine or methadone into unsealed syringes compromises the drugs’ physical stability. Mixing of methadone with other drugs can degrade its chemical stability. (Source: Australian Veterinary Journal)

Effects of GnRH, a progesterone ‐releasing device, and energy balance on an oestrus synchronisation program in anoestrous dairy cows
ConclusionIn cows without a CL present on day 0 of an oestrus synchronisation program, removal of the day 0 GnRH treatment led to reduced CL development; however, no effect of adding progesterone was found. In contrast, in cows with a CL present on day 0 inclusion of a progesterone device led to a higher CL volume, but removal of the first GnRH injection had no effect. Response to the treatment was affected by plasma concentrations of insulin, IGF‐I and NEFA. (Source: Australian Veterinary Journal)

Artificial infection of sheep with multiple strains of Dichelobacter nodosus to induce footrot
DiscussionThe clinical expression of multiple‐strain infections has implications for both research and control of footrot. A novel method of control is proposed. (Source: Australian Veterinary Journal)

Prophylactic and therapeutic efficacy of Australian ‐registered insecticide formulations against Old World screwworm (Chrysomya bezziana) infestation
ConclusionDicyclanil spray‐on and ivermectin capsule formulations, both registered for use in sheep, but not for cattle or other livestock species, gave much longer protection against screwworm implants than the currently recommended SC ivermectin. Pre‐emptive action to facilitate rapid deployment of these formulations in the event of a screwworm incursion is urgently needed. (Source: Australian Veterinary Journal)

Comparison of the effects of topical application of UMF20 and UMF5 manuka honey with a generic multifloral honey on wound healing variables in an uncontaminated surgical equine distal limb wound model
ConclusionsTreatment of wounds with UMF20 reduced overall wound healing time compared with wounds treated with GH and control wounds. However, using this model the difference in the overall time to complete healing was small. (Source: Australian Veterinary Journal)

Genotype disclosure in the genomics era: roles and responsibilities
Disclosure of affected breed without disclosure of major progenitors has been the usual practice in scientific papers reporting recessive heritable disorders of cattle. Before molecular genetics, carrier identity could not be used by breeders to control causal mutations because phenotypically normal heterozygotes among genetically related animals could not be detected other than by test mating. Accurate, low‐cost DNA tests fundamentally changed this situation. Genomics can provide relief from the old problem of emerging recessive disorders in cattle breeding, but greater transparency of genotype data between breeders is ...
