“…One possible reason for the apparent lack of efficacy of NSAID-only treatment may be that the fever threshold used in this study (39.7°C) was too high. Other sources have indicated that the upper range for the normal body temperature of cattle is 39.2°C (Divers and Peek 2008), with a rectal temperature between 38.9°C and 39.4°C being given an abnormal classification (Lago and others 2006). …”

“…Other cattle in the same facility showed no symptoms similar to the present case. At initial examination, the cow had a body temperature of 40.7°C (reference interval (RI): 38.0–39.17°C) and a heart rate of 90 beats/min (bpm; RI: 60–84 bpm) [ 5 ]. Postnatal vaginal discharge and retained placenta were noted.…”

“…Postnatal vaginal discharge and retained placenta were noted. Hematological examination revealed anemia (red blood cell (RBC) count, 453 × 10 4 /µl; RI: 510–760 × 10 4 /µl; hemoglobin, 7.1 g/dl; RI: 8.5–12.2 g/dl; hematocrit, 19.3%; RI: 22–33%), leukopenia (4,500/µl; RI: 4,900–12,000/µl), neutropenia (1,260/µl; RI: 1,800–6,300/µl), and thrombocytopenia (13 × 10 4 /µl; RI: 19.3–63.7 × 10 4 /µl) [ 5 ]. The cow was tentatively diagnosed with endometritis and treated with 20 mg/kg ampicillin (Kyoritsu Seiyaku Inc., Tokyo, Japan) and 0.2 mg/kg dexamethasone (Kyoritsu Seiyaku Inc.).…”

“…On day 6, the cow was transferred to the Animal Teaching Hospital at the Obihiro University of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine to confirm the diagnosis. On initial physical examination at the hospital, high rectal temperature (39.5°C; RI: 38.0–39.17°C), tachycardia (96 bpm; RI: 60–84 bpm), polypnea (42 breaths/min; RI: 18–28 breaths/min) [ 5 ], and pallor of the mucosal membranes were noted. Mandibular, superficial cervical, and subiliac lymph nodes were enlarged ( Fig.…”

A clinical case of acute myelomonocytic leukemia in a Holstein cow

et al. 2021

A 2-year, 3-month-old Holstein cow presented with anorexia and enlarged superficial lymph nodes. Fine needle aspiration cytology of the superficial lymph nodes revealed large blast cells. Hematological examination revealed anemia, neutropenia, and blast cells in peripheral blood. Blast cells were the predominant cell type in bone marrow aspirates. Of the non-erythroid cells, 26%, 58%, and 18% were positive for myeloperoxidase, α-naphthyl acetate esterase, and naphthol AS-D chloroacetate esterase, respectively. Pathological examination revealed the proliferation of neoplastic cells, which were positive for monocytic markers, in the affected lymph nodes. The cow was diagnosed with acute myelomonocytic leukemia based on these findings. This report highlights the importance of performing bone marrow aspiration cytology and cytochemical staining when diagnosing bovine myeloid leukemia.

“…Two major courses of disease exist, namely the acute and the chronic form [ 114 ]. An acute form is characterized by severe signs and a timely end of the disease and lasts approximately around 12–24 h [ 115 ] or 3–14 days [ 114 ]. The course of a chronic disease lasts around three months or more [ 115 ].…”

Do we automatically detect health- or general welfare-related issues? A framework

The early detection of health disorders is a central goal in livestock production. Thus, a great demand for technologies enabling the automated detection of such issues exists. However, despite decades of research, precision livestock farming (PLF) technologies with sufficient accuracy and ready for implementation on commercial farms are rare. A central factor impeding technological development is likely the use of non-specific indicators for various issues. On commercial farms, where animals are exposed to changing environmental conditions, where they undergo different internal states and, most importantly, where they can be challenged by more than one issue at a time, such an approach leads inevitably to errors. To improve the accuracy of PLF technologies, the presented framework proposes a categorization of the aim of detection of issues related to general welfare, disease and distress and defined disease. Each decision level provides a different degree of information and therefore requires indicators varying in specificity. Based on these considerations, it becomes apparent that while most technologies aim to detect a defined health issue, they facilitate only the identification of issues related to general welfare. To achieve detection of specific issues, new indicators such as rhythmicity patterns of behaviour or physiological processes should be examined.
