Ability of unsterilized recycled manure solids bedding to support growth of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli 
The objective of this study was to describe bacterial growth in three different types of RMS bedding, as well as in sand, when samples were experimentally inoculated with Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Two 3-day trials were conducted, during which treatments included inoculating bedding samples with E. coli and K. pneumoniae, as well as no inoculation. The trial was repeated 3 times for each bedding sample on each day. Samples were incubated at 15°C for 3 d and bacterial counts were measured every day. After inoculation, there was no significant K. pneumoniae or E. coli growth phase during the trial in those ...

Retrospective study of perioperative antimicrobial use in horses undergoing elective laparoscopy at a single institution
The objective of this study was to evaluate practices associated with perioperative antimicrobial use in equine elective laparoscopy at a single institution over a 21-year period and to determine whether antimicrobial therapy influenced the occurrence of postoperative complications. Medical records of horses that underwent elective laparoscopy at a teaching hospital from January 2000 to September 2021 were reviewed. Data obtained included signalment, surgeon, type and duration of procedure, perioperative antimicrobial use, and intraoperative and postoperative complications. Exact univariate logistic regression was used to ...

Development and validation of a farm- and province-level swine flow simulation model using discrete events and Ontario swine farm and provincial input data
Can J Vet Res. 2024 Jan;88(1):3-11.ABSTRACTInfectious disease events can cause disruptions in service-based and agricultural industries. The list of possible events is long and varies from the incursion or emergence of a reportable animal pathogen to the recently documented interruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. There is a need to develop models that can determine the impact of pathogens and mitigation measures on populations that are not directly affected by the pathogen in the case of a reportable disease, particularly when the health and welfare of these populations could be affected due to resulting disruptions...

Metabolic response of broiler chickens to different doses of Enterococcus faecium ICIS 96 in the diet
The objectives of this study were to identify the effect of various doses of Enterococcus faecium ICIS 96 added to the diet of broiler chickens on their metabolism and to evaluate the productive qualities of the chickens when different doses are used. The experiment was carried out on 72 Cobb-500 cross broiler chickens, divided into 3 groups. Chickens in the first group received a suspension of E. faecium ICIS 96 containing 1 × 108 cells in 1 mL of sterile saline, at a dose of 0.1 mL per 1 kg of live weight. The second group of chickens received a double dose of enterococcus, that is 0.2 mL of the suspension per 1 kg of l...
