Abstract
Increasing antibiotic resistance genes in the environment may pose a threat to public health. In this study, tetracycline and sulfonamide resistance genes (Tet-W, Tet-O, and Sul-I) were quantified in 24 manure samples from three farms and 18 biosolids samples from seven different wastewater treatment...

Abstract
Discovery of antiparasitic agents is a challenging process, requiring discovery of molecules with the ability to kill parasites but not their hosts. Customer preference is for fewer doses and ease of application, but this is not always compatible with reduced withdrawal times, human food safety and/...

Abstract
The worldwide use of veterinary antibiotics poses a continuous threat to the environment. There is, however, a lack of mechanistic studies on sorption and transformation processes for environmental assessment in soils. Two-week batch sorption experiments were performed with the antibiotic sulfadiazi...

Abstract
Composting has been identified as a viable means of reducing the environmental impact of antibiotics in manure. The focus of the present study is the potential use of composting on the degradation of salinomycin in manure prior to its field application. Manure contaminated with salinomycin was colle...

Abstract
We developed cost-saving and solvent-free nanoemulsions. Formulated with a low-energy method, these nanoemulsions can find application in the delivery of controlled amounts of drugs into the beverage of breeding animals (such as poultry, cattle, pigs) or be used for the controlled release of injecta...

Abstract
The goal of this study was to determine what tasks women perform, behaviors that could result in exposure to zoonotic disease, and preventative measures practiced by women on dairy farms. A written survey was sent to a stratified, random sample of dairy farms in Pennsylvania (n = 3709) using a modif...

Abstract
We investigated the occurrence and fate of four commonly used veterinary pharmaceuticals (amprolium, carbadox, monensin, and tylosin) in a farm in Michigan. Amprolium and monensin were frequently detected in nearby surface water, with concentrations ranging from several to hundreds of nanograms per...

Abstract
In the past 100 years, vaccination has contributed immensely to public health by preventing a number of infectious diseases. Attenuated, killed or part of the microorganism is employed to stimulate the immune system against it. Progress in biotechnology has provided protective immunity through DNA v...

Abstract
With 106 reports of suspected adverse reactions to veterinary medicinal products (VMPs) there was a slight decrease in the year 2008 compared to 2007. However, the distribution according to species and drug classes remained grossly the same: dogs were involved in 45 % of the cases followed in freque...

Abstract
Congenital and acquired cardiac disorders are frequently diagnosed in small breed dogs and cats. In order to appropriately dose cardiovascular drugs for small patients, fractions of commercially available tablets must be prescribed. The aims of this study were to evaluate weight and...

Abstract
Couplings were completed between small molecular veterinary drugs and BSA. The amounts of the three conjugates and the antibodies were optimized. The detective standard curves of the suspension array and their corresponding coefficients of determination (R2) were good (R2 > 0.99). The detection rang...

Abstract
Herein a quantitative method for the determination of seven penicillins in bovine plasma and veterinary drugs has been developed. Amoxicillin (AMO), ampicillin (AMP), penicillin G (PENG), penicillin V (PENV), oxacillin (OXA), cloxacillin (CLO) and dicloxacillin (DICLO) were separated on a Perfectsil...

Abstract
A sensitive method was developed and validated for the quantitation of trenbolone residues in bovine liver. Target analytes were extracted from liver homogenate using solid phase cartridges, separated on a Phenyl column and detected using an electrospray ionization mass spectrometer operating in pos...

Abstract
We studied on the results of monitoring of imported food for the residues of veterinary drugs and change in trend of violation after the enforcement of the system. The number of violation of the veterinary drugs in imported food increased largely, most of them were attributed to chloramphenicol and...

Abstract
163 reports of suspected adverse reactions were received in the year 2007: 111 for veterinary medicinal (VMPs) and 52 for immunologic products. Half of the reported reactions for VMPs concerned either an antiparasitic drug (26%) or an antibiotic (24%). Reconversions (use in another target species or...

Abstract
Plant-derived biologicals for use in animal health are becoming an increasingly important target for research into alternative, improved methods for disease control. Although there are no commercial products on the market yet, the development and testing of oral, plant-based vaccines is now beyond t...

Abstract
Feedlots are potential point sources for the flow of antibiotics into the environment due to common use of antibiotics such as sulfamethazine, chlortetracycline and tylosin. Hence soils and manures originating from a grassland control, an experimental and a commercial feedlot were analyzed and mass...
