  • Sperm acrosome associated 3 protein expression and antigenicity in horses

    Creator:
    Cozzi, Brynley C.
    Abstract:
    Sperm acrosome associated 3 protein (SPACA3) is a unique, intra-acrosomal, conventional-type lysozyme-like protein of mammalian spermatozoa. SPACA3 is present in all stages of ovarian follicles and is localized to granulosa cells and ooplasma in humans, mice, cows, dogs, and cats. The objective of this study was to determine if equine...

  • Gastrointestinal Parasitism in Healthy Show South American Camelids

    Creator:
    Kutzler, Colleen J.
    Abstract:
    Camelid health and parasitology experts disagree on what a “safe” level of internal parasitism is in camelids. The objective was to determine the levels of parasitism in show camelids (llamas and alpacas). The hypothesis was that fecal egg counts (FEC) in camelid would differ based upon geographic location, species (llama...

  • Comparison of Three Different Analyzers to Measure Canine Serum Progesterone

    Creator:
    Hisanaga, Trevor H.
    Abstract:
    The canine estrous cycle is unique compared to other domestic animal species. During estrus, serum progesterone concentrations ([P4]) rise two days prior to ovulation. In fact, the luteinization of pre-ovulatory follicles resulting in this initial increase in [P4] (1.5-2.5 ng/ml) cannot be temporally dissociated from the onset of the surge...

  • Effect of acupuncture on somatic cell count, milk ion conductivity, and milk serum enzyme concentrations in dairy cattle with subclinical mastitis

    Creator:
    Ryan, Elise L.
    Abstract:
    The objective of this research was to determine if acupuncture can reduce bovine mammary inflammation. Lactating cows at the Oregon State University Dairy Research Center were selected based on Dairy Herd Improvement Association reports indicating a SCC >500,000 cells/mL. A California Mastitis Test (CMT) score of greater than one was...

  • Measuring Anti-Müllerian Hormone Concentrations to Determine Reproductive Status in Female Rabbits

    Creator:
    Meeker, Alissa R.
    Abstract:
    There are over two million pet rabbits in the United States. Many rabbits are obtained as adults from pet stores and humane societies. Pet rabbit owners may elect to perform ovariohysterectomy (spay) surgeries on female rabbits to prevent unwanted pregnancies as well as to eliminate the possibility of reproductive disorders...

  • Luteinizing Hormone Receptor Expression in the Canine Coxofemoral and Femorotibial Joints

    Creator:
    Kiefel, Claire A.
    Abstract:
    Gonadectomy has been associated with a 1.5-2 fold increase in the occurrence of canine hip dysplasia and a 2-3 fold increase in the occurrence of canine anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. In intact dogs, luteinizing hormone (LH) is secreted from the adenohypophysis to stimulate the synthesis of gonadal hormones, which...

  • Gross causes of neonatal mortality in Devon Rex and Persian kittens

    Creator:
    Omoto, Holly
    Abstract:
    Post-mortem examinations were performed on 29 deceased Persian kittens from 13 different litters, and 30 deceased Devon Rex kittens from 18 different litters in order to identify gross anatomical abnormalities. Fifteen kittens were stillborn (8 Devon Rex, 7 Persian), 17 kittens died during the first day of life (16 Devon...

  • Luteinizing hormone receptor-mediated cell proliferation in canine T-cell lymphoma cells

    Creator:
    Flint, Camryn
    Abstract:
    Luteinizing hormone (LH) is secreted in low-amplitude pulses in sexually intact dogs to stimulate synthesis of estrogen and testosterone in females and males, respectively. LH is mainly considered a reproductive hormone, but LH receptors (LHR) have been identified in non-reproductive tissues, including in canine lymphoma and isolated canine T-cell lymphoma...

  • The Genetic Diversity of Salukis in the United States

    Creator:
    Van Why, Savannah L.
    Abstract:
    Many domesticated animals, especially dogs, are selectively bred within a small population to select for and “fix” certain traits. This leads to decreasing genetic diversity and the potential for inherited health issues over time. The Saluki is a relatively rare breed of dog in the U.S. The Society for the...
