| pendular nystagmus in dairy cattle. | in a survey of 2,932 mature dairy cattle performed over a 1-month period, we found 15 with rapid oscillation in 1 or both eyes. nystagmus had been present since shortly after birth in 2 animals, and the age at onset was unknown in the others. the nystagmus was not associated with any other physical or neurologic problem. pendular nystagmus apparently is benign and should not be mistaken for a sign of serious neurologic disease. | 1983 | 6602119 |
| salmonellosis outbreak at a vermont hospital. | an outbreak of gastrointestinal illness occurred at a hospital in northern vermont during september 1981. of the 292 hospital employees surveyed, 43 had diarrheal illness; 12 of them had positive cultures for salmonella, serotypes chester, tennessee, or habana. in addition, three individuals who were culture-positive but did not have diarrhea were counted among the cases. illness was related to eating roast beef or cold cuts (p less than .01) in the month of september. one food specimen, an unop ... | 1984 | 6701583 |
| rates of diagnosis of six diseases of holstein cows during 15-day and 21-day intervals. | the lactations of 3,172 holstein dairy cows were divided into intervals of 15 and 21 days. the numbers of new diagnosis of metritis, cystic ovary, miscellaneous reproductive disorders, mastitis, left displaced abomasum, and milk fever in each interval were counted. the numbers of cows at risk in each interval were also counted. a cow was at risk if she was still milking, in the herd, and a diagnosis had not already been made for that condition in that lactation. a cow was also only at risk of a ... | 1984 | 6711956 |
| frequency and immunologic cross-reactivity of encapsulated staphylococcus aureus in bovine milk in new york. | a total of 213 milk samples, which were positive by bacteriologic cultural examination for staphylococcus aureus, were obtained from lactating cows on 55 farms throughout the dairying areas of new york. the s aureus isolates were evaluated for encapsulation directly from milk by the serum-soft agar technique. results indicated that 93% of s aureus field isolates showed evidence of encapsulation on direct evaluation from milk. suppression of capsule formation in vitro was seen in 72.7% of isolate ... | 1983 | 6870031 |

| milk production of cows exposed to industrial fluoride pollution. | milk sales records for a dairy herd showed that milk production did not decrease during the first 4 yr of exposure of cows to fluoride pollution from an aluminum plant. during the next 3 yr milk production decreased, but not significantly. from yr 8 of exposure there was a significant decrease, which persisted through yr 19, when the dairy operation was terminated. from yr 15 through yr 19, the milk yield averaged less than 60% of the expected value. | 1982 | 6891000 |
| results of a nationwide survey to determine feedstuffs fed to lactating dairy cows. | a nationwide survey to determine feedstuffs used in the diets of dairy cows was conducted. this survey was mailed to dairy nutritionists at universities in each state to describe the use of 144 feedstuffs. twenty-eight states responded and were grouped by region as follows: northeast (maine, maryland, new hampshire, new york, ohio, vermont, and west virginia), northwest (idaho, oregon, and washington), midwest (iowa, illinois, michigan, minnesota, missouri, nebraska, north dakota, south dakota, ... | 1999 | 10068966 |
| use of a sentinel system for field measurements of cryptosporidium parvum oocyst inactivation in soil and animal waste. | a small-volume sentinel chamber was developed to assess the effects of environmental stresses on survival of sucrose-percoll-purified cryptosporidium parvum oocysts in soil and animal wastes. chambers were tested for their ability to equilibrate with external chemical and moisture conditions. sentinel oocysts were then exposed to stresses of the external environment that affected their viability (potential infectivity), as indicated by results of a dye permeability assay. preliminary laboratory ... | 1999 | 10223991 |

| risk factors associated with cryptosporidium parvum infection in dairy cattle in southeastern new york state. | an observational analytical epidemiologic study was carried out to identify factors associated with the risk of infection with cryptosporidium parvum in dairy herds in southeastern new york state. a random sample of 2943 cattle on 109 farms was selected from the target population. fecal samples were collected from animals in three different age groups and examined for the presence of c. parvum using a quantitative centrifugation concentration flotation method. data on intrinsic, preweaning, post ... | 1999 | 10392763 |
| salmonella enterica serotype dublin infection: an emerging infectious disease for the northeastern united states. | salmonella enterica subspecies enterica serotype dublin (s. enterica dublin) emerged for the first time in new york, pennsylvania, and ohio in 1988. since that time this host-adapted serotype has spread throughout the veal- and dairy beef-raising operations in the region; very few dairy farms have experienced clinical s. enterica dublin infections. this study details the epidemiology of the outbreaks in cattle. during the period 1988 through 1995, nine new york and four pennsylvania counties hav ... | 1999 | 10405378 |
