Common diseases of cattle in Jordan: A retrospective study (2015-2021).

Background And Aim: In many developing countries, infectious and non-infectious diseases remain a major hurdle in achieving satisfactory status related to animal health, productivity, and welfare. In Jordan, there are no comprehensive reports describing the most common diseases involving different body systems in different age groups of cattle. Therefore, this retrospective study was designed to report the frequencies of various infectious and non-infectious diseases and their distribution according to sex, age, and body system in cattle in Jordan.

Common diseases of sheep ( Linnaeus) and goats () in Jordan: A retrospective study (2015-2021).

Background: Despite major efforts that have been undertaken to improve livestock health and productivity in Jordan, infectious and non-infectious diseases continue to cause significant economic losses.

Aim: The objective of this study was to report the most common diseases (infectious and non-infectious) affecting sheep ( Linnaeus) and goats () in Jordan.

Methods: Data related to sheep and goats presented for clinical evaluation to the Veterinary Health Center of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at Jordan University of Science and Technology between January 2015 and December 2021 extracted from the case medical records were used in this study.

Relationship between certain serum biochemical values and serostatus against in dairy cows.

Aim: This study was conducted to evaluate the possible association between values of certain serum biochemical parameters and seropositivity against in dairy cows.

Materials And Methods: Serum samples from 60 seropositive and 40 seronegative cows were used to determine the values of beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), glucose, creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, total protein, albumin, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) using commercially available kits and reagents. The serostatus of cows against was determined using a commercially available cellular enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

antibacterial effects of zinc oxide nanoparticles on multiple drug-resistant strains of and : An alternative approach for antibacterial therapy of mastitis in sheep.

Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the antibacterial effects of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) and its possible alternative use for the treatment for mastitis in sheep and to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of ZnO-NPs against multidrug-resistant and strains isolated from subclinical mastitis cases in sheep.

Materials And Methods: A total of 50 pooled milk samples were collected from ewes with subclinical mastitis. Milk samples were cultured using standard laboratory techniques, and multidrug-resistant bacterial strains were determined using the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method.

Bacteriological cure rate and changes in milk composition in mastitis vaccinated ewes affected with subclinical mastitis.

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of using a commercially-available polyvalent mastitis vaccine on the bacteriological cure rate of existing subclinical mastitis in Awassi sheep.

Materials And Methods: A total of 164 lactating ewes were divided into two main groups according to udder health and milk somatic cell count (SCC): Group 1=normal (N; n=80) and Group 2=subclinical mastitis (SC; n=84). Each group was then subdivided randomly into two treatment groups: N vaccinated (N; n=38), N non-vaccinated (N; n=42), SC vaccinated (SC; n=42), and SC non-vaccinated (SC; n=42).

Effects of intramammary infusion of sage () essential oil on milk somatic cell count, milk composition parameters and selected hematology and serum biochemical parameters in Awassi sheep with subclinical mastitis.

Aim: The aims of this study were to evaluate the effects of intramammary infusion of sage () essential oil (EO) on milk somatic cell count (SCC), milk composition parameters and selected hematology and serum biochemical parameters in 20 Awassi ewes affected with subclinical mastitis.

Materials And Methods: The dried leaves of sage were used to extract the EO by hydrodistillation. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of sage EO against were determined by the broth dilution method.

Relationships between certain metabolic diseases and selected serum biochemical parameters in seropositive dairy cows against Neospora caninum infection in different stages of lactation.

Neospora caninum is an important cause of abortion in dairy cattle. The general health of affected cows has not been investigated before. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to identify possible relationships between certain metabolic diseases and selected serum biochemical parameters in seropositive dairy cows against N.

Selected metabolic biochemical and enzyme activities associated with Besnoitia besnoiti infection in dairy cattle.

The main aim of the study was to explore, compare, and identify whether there is an association between Besnoitia besnoiti seropositivity in apparently healthy dairy cows with some biochemical parameters, enzyme activities, and beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHBA). A total of 98 dairy cows were included in the study, of which there was 50 seropositive and 48 seronegative cows. Analysis of serum antibodies against B.
