Вплив регуляторів росту на розвиток бактеріальних хвороб сої

Вивчено вплив регуляторів росту рослин (агростимуліну, емістиму-С та біолану) на ураженість сої бактеріальними хворобами за передпосівної обробки насіння. Відмічено позитивну дію агростимуліну, який забезпечує стимуляцію росту рослин, зниження рівня їх ураженості бактеріальними хворобами протягом вегетаційного періоду за умов природного і штучного зараження та підвищує урожайність культури.Изучено влияние регуляторов роста (Агростимулина, Емистима С и биолана на пораженность растений сои бактериальными болезнями при предпосевной обработке семян. Отмечено положительное влияние агростимулина, который обеспечивает стимулирование роста растений, снижение уровня их пораженности бактериальными болезнями в течение вегетационного периода в условиях естественного заражения и при искусственном инфицировании и повышает урожайность.The effect of plants growth regulators (Agrostimulin, Emestim S, Biolan) on soybean plant bacterial diseases when presowing seed treating has been tudied. It was established positive impact of Agrostimulin, which guarantees plant growth stimulation, high resistance against bacterial diseases during vegetation in the condition of both natural infection and artificial introduction with agents and yield increase

Canine atopic dermatitis: validation of recorded diagnosis against practice records in 335 insured Swedish dogs

A cross-sectional study of insured Swedish dogs with a recorded diagnosis of canine atopic dermatitis (CAD) was performed. In order to validate the correctness of this specific diagnosis in the insurance database, medical records were requested by mail from the attending veterinarians. All dogs with a reimbursed claim for the disease during 2002 were included in the original study sample (n = 373). Medical records were available for 335 individuals (response rate: 89.8%). By scrutinizing the submitted records it was determined that all dogs had been treated for dermatologic disease, and that 327 (97.6%) could be considered to have some allergic skin disease. However, as information regarding dietary trial testing was missing in many dogs the number that were truly atopic could not be determined. The clinical presentation and nature of test diet for dogs with or without response to dietary trial testing was compared for a subset of 109 individuals that had undergone such testing. The only significant difference between these two groups was that the proportion of dogs with reported gastrointestinal signs was higher in the group that subsequently responded to a diet trial. In conclusion, the agreement between the recorded diagnosis in the insurance database and the clinical manifestations recorded in the submitted medical records was considered acceptable. The concern was raised that many attending veterinarians did not exclude cutaneous adverse food reactions before making the diagnosis of CAD

Insurance data for research in companion animals: benefits and limitations

The primary aim of this article is to review the use of animal health insurance data in the scientific literature, especially in regard to morbidity or mortality in companion animals and horses. Methods and results were compared among studies on similar health conditions from different nations and years. A further objective was to critically evaluate benefits and limitations of such databases, to suggest ways to maximize their utility and to discuss the future use of animal insurance data for research purposes. Examples of studies on morbidity, mortality and survival estimates in dogs and horses, as well as neoplasia in dogs, are discussed

Integrating databases for research on health and performance in small animals and horses in the Nordic countries

In a world of limited resources, using existing databases in research is a potentially cost-effective way to increase knowledge, given that correct and meaningful results are gained

West Highland White Terriers under primary veterinary care in the UK in 2016: demography, mortality and disorders

The West Highland White Terrier (WHWT) is a relatively common breed in the UK, although Kennel Club registrations have declined in recent years. The VetCompass™ Programme collates de-identified clinical data from primary-care veterinary practices in the UK for epidemiological research. Using VetCompass clinical data, this study aimed to characterise the demography, longevity and common disorders of WHWTs under primary veterinary care in the UK
