Article Abstract
This report describes an innovative technique of ovariectomy useful for the birth control in the mouflon population. Thirteen female mouflons in reproductive age were submitted to ovariectomy via midline and left flank, using the AESCULAP CAIMAN Seal and Cut device. The CAIMAN was useful for clamping the ovary, stapling the vessels, and cutting in one stroke, thus reducing the surgery times. The day after the gonadectomy all animals were mobilized to another enclosure. In this study, no intraoperative and post-operative complications were observed, and all animals were gonadectomized without side effects. This study sets the guidelines for the surgical sterilization of mouflons in the field using anesthetic protocols and high-quality surgical procedures.

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is an excellent technique for non-destructive analysis of meat because it has high accuracy, a linear response, and insignificant drift over time, which removes the need for recalibration. Furthermore, single-side NMR devices have open geometries that enable measurements of subsections of larger samples without taking sub-samples. Here we demonstrated long-term reproducibility in a benchtop device and the utility of a single-sided NMR device.

Article Synopsis
- The intracranial cavity houses critical organs like the brain and meninges, yet there's limited research on it in veterinary science.
- This study aimed to explore differences in the intracranial cavities of goats and sheep using advanced methods, including stereology and tomography.
- Results indicated that goats had a larger intracranial volume compared to sheep, with both methods yielding similar measurements, suggesting they can be used interchangeably for future studies.
Upper respiratory tract detection of Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae employing nasopharyngeal swabs.

USDA-ARS Animal Disease Research Unit, Pullman, WA, 99164, USA.
Background: Flock-level prevalence and characterization of Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae is determined almost exclusively using nasal swabbing followed by molecular detection with either quantitative PCR or multi-locus sequence typing. However, the diagnostic performance and efficiency of swabbing the nasal passage compared to other anatomical locations has not been determined within sheep populations. The goal of this research was to assess the diagnostic capability of nasopharyngeal swabs in comparison to nasal swabs for the detection of Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae.
