Ovarian teratomas are uncommon tumors in female dogs, characterized by the presence of tissues derived from embryonic layers. Although most ovarian teratomas are benign, histopathological evaluation is crucial for accurate clinical diagnosis and management. The present report presented a rare case of tridermal teratoma in an eight-year-old bitch and its successful surgical management.

Case report: In the present case report, an eight-year-old Indian Pariah bitch weighing 16.7 kg was presented to the Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex, India with anorexia and abdominal distention. Radiography and ultrasonography of the abdomen revealed two abnormal masses in the abdominal cavity. The bitch was operated for exploratory laparotomy, and the masses were removed. One mass weighed 4.2 kg and was 30×22×14 cm in size, while the other mass, which was attached to the left ovary, weighed 0.2 kg and was 7×5×4 cm in size. Grossly, both masses demonstrated encapsulation, lobulation, and severe congestion. The external surface of the masses had pigmentation. In contrast, the cut surface revealed cystic spaces filled with tufts of hair embedded in thick, creamy-white sebaceous material, along with fat and bone tissues. Histopathological examination confirmed both masses as benign mature cystic teratomas, comprising well-differentiated structures derived from all three germ layers.

Conclusion: According to clinical presentation and histopathological examination, the abnormal masses of cystic teratomas in the abdominal cavity were diagnosed and successfully removed by surgery.

Lymphoid leukosis (LL), caused by the Avian leukosis virus (ALV), is a tumor-forming disease in poultry that causes considerable economic losses in commercial poultry farming. The present study aimed to evaluate the histopathological and molecular aspects of LL in Sonali chickens from several poultry farms in Chattogram, Bangladesh.

Methods: 200 dead Sonali chickens aged from 20 to 40 weeks that showed clinical signs of the disease, including gradual weight loss, loss of appetite, enlarged abdomen, pale comb and wattle with high morbidity and low mortality, were collected from poultry farms in Patiya, Anowara, Banshkhali, Chandanaish, Mirsarai, and the Chattogram metropolitan region, Bangladesh. Necropsy of these chickens was performed systematically, and the gross lesions were documented. Samples were collected from the affected organs, including the heart, liver, spleen, and intestine, for histopathological and molecular identification of LL. Histopathological examination of those samples was performed by the routine hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) procedure. A conventional PCR targeting the ALV env gene was performed with complementary DNA (cDNA) generated from extracted RNA.

Results: 120 (60%) chickens among the 200 demonstrated specific gross lesions of LL during necropsy examination, including disseminated nodular tumors in visceral organs such as the heart, liver, spleen, and intestines. Routine H&E procedure confirmed LL in 94 (78.33%) of cases. Moreover, 100 percent of the histologically confirmed samples indicated a distinct 220bp amplicon in PCR, confirming ALV infection.

Conclusion: The combination of histology and molecular detection successfully revealed ALV-induced lymphoid leukosis in Sonali chickens. The presence of ALV on several farms indicated the need for stronger biosecurity measures to prevent viral spread.

‌Feed is one of the main factors to improve animal production. The utilization of feed is depended on quality, quantity, type, breed, and rate of passage of feed. This study aimed to evaluate the performance, feeding behavior, and nutrient utilization of growing Etawah crossbred and Senduro goats fed different forms of starter concentrate of creep feed.

Materials and methods: Twelve local growing goats were used in this study, consist of six Etawah crossbred and six Senduro goats with average body weight 20 ± 1.57 kg from both sex, fed different forms of creep feed for three month. This study was designed by factorial randomized completely block design 2x2. The first factor was type of creep feed form (mash and pellet), and the second factor was the type of goat breeds (Etawah crossbred and Senduro). The complete ration consisted of 70% creep feed containing black soldier fly (BSF) meal and BSF oil plus 30% elephant grass. The variables observed were feeding behavior nutrient consumption, digestibility, blood metabolites, and performance.

Results: The results showed that there was no interaction between the creep feed forms and the goat breeds in all variables. The form of creep feed had a significant effect on prehension and mastication and the pellet form had higher prehension and mastication compare to mash from but it had no significant effect on nutrient consumption and digestibility. Performance and blood metabolites were same in all treatments, except for the feed efficiency of Senduro goats had higher than Etawah crossbred goats.

Conclusion: In conclusion, giving creep feed containing BSF larvae meal and oil in starter concentrate as pellet forms resulted a lower prehension and higher mastication, but has higher prehension and lower mastication for mash type. The performance and blood metabolites were are not different in all treatment groups.

Infectious keratoconjunctivitis, commonly known as pinkeye or contagious ophthalmia, is a bacterial disease that affects the healthy eyes. This infection causes inflammation in the tissue lining the eyelid, the conjunctiva, and the cornea of one or both eyes.

Case report: A 6-month-old male Afshari breed sheep with symptoms of blepharospasm, keratoconjunctivitis, and ocular discharge was referred to a veterinary clinic in Mashhad, Iran. Upon ophthalmic examination of both eyes, the signs included conjunctivitis, generalized corneal opacity, blepharospasm, epiphora, positive menace response, and elevated intraocular pressure were observed. The clinical signs suggested Infectious keratoconjunctivitis by Mycoplasma. To detect Mycoplasma, immunofluorescence tests, and growth inhibition tests were conducted using anti-sera. Mycoplasma was isolated from the samples. The sheep was treated with a single intramuscular injection of long-acting tetracycline at a dosage of 20mg/kg. The topical tetracycline ointments were used and applied 4 times daily for 6 days. The topical ophthalmic application of 1% atropine ointment 3 times daily was used due to pain as a consequence of uveitis for 3 days. Due to the mydriasis caused by atropine, animals undergoing treatment were provided with shade. For pain relief, meloxicam (1 ml/50 kg) is utilized to alleviate the clinical signs of the disease. After 10 days of treatment, the clinical signs returned to normal.

Conclusion: The clinical signs and subclinical tests confirmed keratoconjunctivitis caused by Mycoplasma. The successful treatment of this disease by following the above-mentioned treatment method can help clinicians and researchers in similar cases.

Hyptis suaveolens (H. suaveolens), known as Gros baume or sweet-smelling Hyptis, is an invasive plant from tropical regions widely used to manage human and animal ailments, such as bacterial, viral, and parasitic diseases. This study aimed to synthesize a scientific research work on the use of this medicinal plant in the traditional pharmacopeia, as well as the biological and pharmacological activities already recognized in the literature. Information for this synthesis was collected from physical (libraries and documentation centers of universities in Benin) and reliable scientific databases, such as PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science, which were queried based on the keywords related to H. suaveolens. This plant contains secondary metabolites in its aerial parts, such as leaves, and stems, which are rich in essential oils. From leaves to roots, all parts of this plant are of interest to both humans and animals to treat various pathologies. The most frequently cited diseases include asthma, panariasis, jaundice, hyperthermia, indigestion, stomach pains, nausea, colds, gall bladder infections, breast abscesses, hemorrhoids, oral-anal candidiasis, edemas, cramps, and skin infections The various aqueous and ethanolic extracts are evaluated by researchers and the biological activities are indicated in the literature. Those activities include the antibacterial, antifungal, larvicidal, antioxidant, anticholinesterase, insect repellent, and insecticidal effects. However, no toxicity resulting from the use of this plant has yet been reported in the literature. Research on H. suaveolens toxicity must be continued to gain a comprehensive understanding of its application in human and livestock health. This literature review allows the virtues and risks related to the traditional use of H. suaveolens in human and animal pharmacopeia. The various potentialities of this plant provide a lever for exploring its antiviral effects in traditional veterinary medicine in general.

Case report: The present study reported a foot and mouth disease Sat-2 outbreak in Al-Muthanna province in southern Iraq in March 2023. Three male Holstein Friesian cows, aged between 1 and 1.5 years and weighing approximately 550 ± 15 kg each, were affected. Clinical examination revealed symptoms, including fever, severe lameness, anorexia, depression, frothy salivation, and vesicular lesions on the mouth and feet. Confirmation of the Sat-2 serotype was achieved through serological testing and genotyping of the virus, conducted by the FMD Institute, Ankara, Türkiye. The Sat-2 serotype was recognized by genotyping the virus and submitting SAT-2 VP1 sequences. The treatments for secondary infection prevention included Ceftifur (2.2 mg/kg) for 5 days, and flunixin meglumine (2.2 mg/kg) for 2 days. The other animals that were not exposed to infected animals were vaccinated against FMD. Rigorous biosecurity measures were implemented, involving thorough disinfection of the environment and quarantine of the infected animals. Direct contact between the farmer and other animals, particularly the sick ones, was completely avoided. After 2 weeks, all infected animals began to eat normally again, and clinical signs disappeared. Notably, other animals on the farm did not exhibit any signs of FMD.

Conclusion: In conclusion, the findings of this study underscore the importance of biosecurity measures and vaccination in FMD prevention. Additionally, administering antibiotics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for the prevention of secondary infections proves to be crucial.

Fermented bovine milk provides a conducive environment for the growth of bacteria some of which could be of zoonotic importance. These bacteria can develop antimicrobial resistance (AMR) due to the regular use of antibiotics in animals.

Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study was undertaken to determine the antibiotic sensitivity of bacteria isolated from traditionally fermented milk obtained and processed from 114 indigenous cows kept by Maasai pastoralists in Kajiado County, Kenya. The Kirby-Bauer Disk diffusion method was used to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility profiles of the isolated Staphylococcus spp., Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp., and Salmonella typhi.

Results: The susceptibility of the isolated bacteria was determined using nine antibiotics namely chloramphenicol (10μg), kanamycin (30μg), penicillin G (10μg), streptomycin (10μg), oxytetracycline (30μ) tetracycline (30μg), vancomycin (30μg), gentamycin (10μg) and Ampicillin (10μg). The Staphylococcus (S.) aureus isolates exhibited diverse resistance patterns to the antibiotics with the greatest resistance observed against oxytetracycline (69.2%), streptomycin (69.2%), and kanamycin (61.5%). However, a significant proportion of the S. aureus strains demonstrated a 100% susceptibility rate to gentamycin and vancomycin. Escherichia coli isolates exhibited resistance to vancomycin (100%), tetracycline (80%), oxytetracycline (80 %), and ampicillin (60 %) and were highly (100%) sensitive to the other antibiotics. Salmonella typhi isolates were resistant to vancomycin (88.8%) and highly (100%) sensitive to chloramphenicol, penicillin G, gentamycin, and streptomycin. Klebsiella spp. were highly resistant to vancomycin (100%) and were sensitive to gentamycin (100%) and streptomycin (100%).
