Once livestock is slaughtered the carcass of body obtained represents the main commercial product, and is valued in terms of quality. The aim of this work was to characterize and evaluate the carcasses of Araucano creole lambs. Thirteen Araucano lambs were slaughtered at 221±15 days of age weighing 32±2 Kg. The hot carcass was weighed and after 24 hours at 4C the cold carcass was weighed. The characteristics of conformation, fat cover and regional composition of the carcass were evaluated according to Chilean regulation standards. The tissue composition of the back was also determined, in its three components (muscle, bone and fat). The commercial yield of the carcass was 51.14% and losses due to dehydration of the carcass were recorded at 3%. The... |

Laboratory profile of young ovines was studied in order to evaluate and compare their antiserum production from natural and Cobalt-60 irradiated Crotalus durissus terrificus (C.d.t.) venoms. The parameters analyzed included complete blood count, and urea, creatinine, aspartate aminotransferase, total proteins, albumin and globulin serum measurements. Three groups of six animals each were used. Group 1 (G1) received natural C.d.t. venom; Group 2 (G2) received irradiated C.d.t. venom; and Group 3 (G3) was used as control and did not receive venom, only adjuvants, using seven venom inoculations. During the experimental period, animals were fortnightly weighed. According to clinical and weight evaluation, sheep in post-weaning phase showed no changes in their... |

The unfavorable evolution of a young ovine during hyperimmunization process with Crotalus durissus terrificus venom was investigated in order to differentiate its origin between ophidic envenomation and copper toxicosis. Clinical, laboratory, necroscopic and histological exams as well as evaluation and measurement of heavy metals (copper) in the kidneys and in the liver were carried out. Blood counts revealed anemia and serological tests showed high levels of blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, aspartate aminotransferase, creatine phosphokinase, total bilirubin and indirect bilirubin; which indicates liver, kidney and skeletal muscle damages. At necropsy, the animal presented hepatopathy and nephropathy. Histological examination revealed renal and hepatic... |
