Unmanaged tick and sucking lice infestations negatively impact the health and production potential of cattle. Described herein are two non-interference dose confirmation studies evaluating the efficacy of a single administration of a new fixed-dose combination injectable (FDCI) endectocide consisting of 0.2 mg/kg doramectin + 6.

Background: The therapeutic strategy of bovine respiratory disease (BRD) often involves a combination of an antibiotic with an anti-inflammatory agent. Aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical effect of a new combination product containing tulathromycin and ketoprofen for the treatment of naturally occurring BRD.

Methods: Two hundred and eighty animals were randomized upon diagnosis of BRD.

The current studies aimed to evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) profile and to establish a PK-PD model for ketoprofen in a new fixed combination product containing tulathromycin (2.5 mg/kg) and ketoprofen (3 mg/kg) to treat bovine respiratory disease associated with pyrexia in cattle. Firstly, the effect of different ketoprofen doses as mono-substance (1, 3, and 6 mg/kg subcutaneous) on lipopolysaccharide-induced fever was evaluated which indicated that rectal temperature reduction lasted longer in the calves receiving 3 and 6 mg/kg ketoprofen.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on pruritus (itchiness) in dogs, particularly those with atopic dermatitis, examining the role of IL-31, a cytokine linked to itchy behaviors.
  • Researchers compared the effects of three treatments—prednisolone, dexamethasone, and oclacitinib—on IL-31-induced pruritus in beagle dogs through randomized, blinded trials.
  • Results showed that oclacitinib was more effective in reducing pruritus at various intervals than both prednisolone and dexamethasone, suggesting a promising model for studying treatments for allergic dermatitis in dogs.

Background: Pruritus is the hallmark clinical sign of atopic dermatitis (AD) in dogs. Preliminary study results suggest that oclacitinib, a selective Janus kinase inhibitor, could reduce pruritus and associated inflammatory skin lesions in dogs with AD.

Hypothesis/objectives: The objective was to evaluate efficacy and safety of oclacitinib (Apoquel®) for the control of AD in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
