The antimicrobial agents may undergo a change in the complex stomach particularly in the rumen as a result of microbial fermentation in ruminants. Present investigation deals with the influence of ruminal fluid probably the role of ruminal microorganisms on the degradation of sulfathiazole in vitro and its metabolism and disposition following its single intraruminal administration (100 mg/kg) in adult german black head sheep. Sulfathiazole is metabolized to N4-acetyl sulfathiazole in the rumen fluid after its in vitro incubation at different concentrations (10-60 micrograms/ml) for varying time intervals (1-6 h) at a temperature of 38 +/- 0.5 degrees C. Likewise in vivo it is significantly metabolized to its N-acetyl metabolite in the rumen after an intraruminal administration. The levels of sulfathiazole are maintained above minimum effective therapeutic concentration (40 micrograms/ml) for more than 24 h in rumen fluid. The drug is poorly absorbed into the circulation after intraruminal administration since the levels in plasma could not reach up to minimum effective therapeutic concentration at any time. The biological half-life of sulfathiazole was found to be 16.7 h following single intraruminal administration. Results of this investigation suggest that oral or intraruminal application of sulfathiazole has only local effects in the rumen fluid. A systemic treatment is not possible after this path of application.

Description of lesions in lambs intoxicated with sodium selenite included in intraruminal boluses: Lambs intoxicated with selenium.

Faculty of Higher Studies Cuautitlan, UNAM, Mexico, Mexico.
Selenium is an essential micronutrient for ruminants, which participates in the optimal functioning of proteins and enzymes that can combat oxidative stress in the body; however, its toxicity is documented in different species. The objective of this work was to describe macroscopic and microscopic lesions in lambs intoxicated with selenium administered through intraruminal boluses. The main lesions at necropsy were pulmonary oedema; the myocardial surface presented multifocal pale areas; the thyroid and thymus glands were decreased in size, and areas of necrosis, haemorrhage and hyperkeratosis were observed in the reticulum and rumen.

Previous studies have demonstrated the penetration of anthocyanins through the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier (BCSF barrier) after intraruminal administration of chokeberry and red cabbage preparation to sheep. However, they have failed to explain which food anthocyanin forms are more capable of crossing the BCSF barrier. Thus, this study aim was to verify the ability of cyanidin 3-galactoside (Cy3gal, main chokeberry anthocyanin) and cyanidin 3-diglucoside-5-glucoside (Cy3diG5G, main red cabbage anthocyanin) to cross the BCSF barrier on the sheep model ( = 16) after intravenous administration (to exclude the influence of gastrointestinal processes) of preparations containing these compounds.

Nitroethane is a potent methane-inhibitor for ruminants but little is known regarding simultaneous effects of repeated administration on pre- and post-gastric methane-producing activity and potential absorption and systemic accumulation of nitroethane in ruminants. Intraruminal administration of 120 mg nitroethane/kg body weight per day to Holstein cows ( = 2) over a 4-day period transiently reduced ( < 0.05) methane-producing activity of rumen fluid as much as 3.

The aim of this study was to determine whether anthocyanins and their phase II metabolites permeate the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier (B-CSF-B) of sheep and to profile these compounds in sheep biofluids after chokeberry intraruminal administration. Anthocyanins were analyzed using micro-HPLC-MS/MS. After chokeberry administration, anthocyanins were absorbed and occurred in body fluids mainly in the form of methylated, glucuronidated, and sulfated derivatives (in total, 21 derivatives were identified).

The monoamine serotonin has been shown to regulate peripartal calcium homeostasis in multiparous cows and be a possible mitigation tool for hypocalcemia. Increasing circulating serotonin concentrations via prepartum intravenous (IV) administration of the serotonin precursor 5-hydroxy-L-tryptophan (5-HTP) increases postpartum calcium concentrations. However, the ability of 5-HTP to be used orally or ruminally to alter circulating serotonin concentrations has not been established.
