Analysis of the Drug Sensitivity of Escherichia coli Isolated from Sheep in Yangling,Shaanxi Province

This study was conducted to investigate the drug sensitivity of Escherichia coli isolated from sheep, providing data reference for clinical medication. Fifty-four samples were collected from a certain sheep farm in Yangling, Shaanxi Province for E. coli isolation and identification, and K-B disk diffusion method was used to carry out the dug sensitivity test of 40 E. coli to the eight antimicrobials of spectinomycin, amikacin, tobramycin, enrofloxacin, nalidixic acid, levofloxacin, salafloxacin and ciprofloxacin. The results showed that there were 40 positive E. coli strains and the isolation rate was 74.7%. The resistance rates of the 40 E. coli to spectinomycin, amikacin,tobramycin and nalidixic acid were 85%, 95%, 97.5% and 87.5%, respectively, while the resistance rate to enrofloxacin, levofloxacin, salafloxacin and ciprofloxacin were relatively low and the resistance rates were 35%, 20%, 25% and 17.5%, respectively. The isolates showed different levels of drug resistance to eight antimicrobials and the highest resistance rate was 97.5%. It reminds that the sheep farm should strictly control the dosage according to the antimicrobial sensitive data in clinic.

Safety Evaluation of a Compound Lonicera rupicola Hook.f. et & Thomson Injection

Safety of a compound Lonicera rupicola Hook. f. et & Thomson injection was evaluated by local irritation experiments including conjunctiva,skin and muscle irritant experiments,and the effect on weight gain was studied. The results showed that the compound L. rupicola Hook. f. et & Thomson injection had no irritation to rabbit eyes and weak irritation to rabbit ears,and had relatively strong irritation to the leg muscles of the mice. Its metabolism in mice had no abnormal toxicity.

Investigation and Analysis on the Causes Affecting the Production of One Pig Farm in Southwest Region

To analyze the causes affecting production situation of one pig farm in southwest region,group leader,assistant and related staffs in the pig farm were queried,mating and delivery situation of sow and dead-culling situation ofpigletwere investigated.The results showed that(1) mating situation: mating 691 pigs,returning to love 42 pigs,abortion 4 pigs,mismatching rate was 7.59%.(2) Delivery situation: delivering 175 nests,total birth 2538,total piglet per fetus 14.5,average healthy piglet per fetus 10.12,invalid piglet rate was30.21%.Among them,mummy fetus,dead fetus,weak piglet and deformity accounted for 47.78%,35.64%,10.71% and 5.87% of invalid piglet.(3) Dead-culling situation: dead-culling rate in breeding process was 12.37%.Among them,diarrhea death wasthemain cause,accounting for 44.47%,followed by pressing,falling to the ground,disease,joint swelling,weakness and other causes,and they respectively accounted for 18.58%,13.36%,13.36%,8.56%,5.85% and 0.62%.
