Previous researches have shown that VFA in abomasums can significantly inhibit the shrinkage of smooth muscles of abomasums and lead to atony of abomasums, but the specific regulatory mechanisms are still unclear. In this study, the expression of VFA receptors GPR41 and GPR43 in cow abomasums were detected by PCR method, and the fragments were consistent with the excepted sizes. This study provided theoretical basis for the pathologic mechanism investigation, prevention and treatment of displacement of abomasum in dairy cows.展开更多

The camels were necropsied 14, 42, 70, 84 and 280 days after infection and their abomasi were examined for the presence of nematodes.Results: Early 4th stage larva occurred already 2 weeks after infection. They were still in the sheet of the 3rd stage larva. Six weeks after infection, the nematodes became juvenile male and female adults measuring 9 and 10 mm, respectively. Their size doubled at 10 weeks post infection and patency was reached at 12 weeks. P. dromedarii was still present in the camel that was examined 40 weeks after infection.Conclusions: As a result of experimental infection of the natural host, the determined prepatent period of P. dromedarii equalled 12 weeks.展开更多
