| some hematologic and blood chemistry values in two herds of american bison in kansas. | the data presented are compiled from two herds of american bison (bison bison) in kansas. in this study there were differences in the mean values of white blood cell count, neutrophil percentage, lymphocyte percentage and cholestrol, alkaline phosphatase, specific glutamic-oxalacetic transaminase concentrations between the age groups of animals under 2 years of age and bison over 2 year old. differences in the two age groups paralleled those found in jersey and hereford cattle. packed cell volum ... | 1975 | 1113446 |
| serologic survey for selected microbial pathogens in bison from kansas. | a serologic survey was conducted on an american bison (bison bison) herd in kansas for antibodies against brucella spp., leptospira interrogans serovar canicola, pomona, grippotyphosa, icterohaemorrhagiae, and hardjo, anaplasma spp., bluetongue virus, infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus and bovine viral diarrhea virus. there was an increase in prevalence of bluetongue antibodies from 38% in 1987 to 100% in 1989 in animals greater than or equal to 24-mo-old. prevalences of antibodies against ... | 1991 | 1656107 |
| hematological and blood chemistry profiles of american bison grazing on konza prairie of kansas. | normal hematological and blood chemistry parameters were measured in 45 american bison (bison bison) that were divided into three age groups for comparison. there was a statistically significant (p less than 0.05) increase with advancing age in mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, absolute neutrophil and eosinophil counts, total protein, globulin, creatinine, and blood urea nitrogen. there was a statistically significant (p less than 0.05) decrease with advancing age in levels o ... | 1991 | 1920660 |
| mycoplasma bovis outbreak in a herd of north american bison (bison bison). | a disease outbreak of high morbidity and high mortality in bison (bison bison) was investigated. clinical signs included lameness, swollen joints, respiratory distress, and lethargy. fifty-three of 194 animals died. cows between 5 and 10 years of age were the most affected group, in which 40 of 88 animals died. necropsies were performed on several animals. there were abscesses in the lung and liver, as well as fibrinosuppurative pleuritis, polyarthritis, and disseminated microabscesses in variou ... | 2010 | 20807947 |
| seasonal shifts in diet and gut microbiota of the american bison (bison bison). | north american bison (bison bison) are becoming increasingly important to both grassland management and commercial ranching. however, a lack of quantitative data on their diet constrains conservation efforts and the ability to predict bison effects on grasslands. in particular, we know little about the seasonality of the bison diet, the degree to which bison supplement their diet with eudicots, and how changes in diet influence gut microbial communities, all of which play important roles in ungu ... | 2015 | 26562019 |
