تم إجراء هذه الدراسة بمنطقة الزاوية و التي تبعد 60 كم غرب مدينة طرابلس في مزارع خاصة للأغنام. أجريت الدراسة في الفترة الزمنية من شهر ناصر(يونيو) 2008 إلي شهر هانيبال (أغسطس) 2009. لقد كانت أهداف هذه الدراسة, البحث و التقصي عن موسمية التناسل و تقييم فعالية عدد من المعالجات الهرمونية في إحداث الشبق و توحيده لتحسين الأداء التناسلي للنعاج البربري الليبية. ولتحقيق هذه الأهداف, تم تنفيذ أربع تجارب مستخدمين فيها 475 نعجة بربري ليبية سليمة و خصبة إضافة إلي عشر كباش سليمة وخصبة من نفس السلالة. التجربة الأولى: تم استخدام 300 نعجة لدراسة عن الموسمية التناسلية لهذه النعاج باستخدام البروستاجلاندين α2F (PGF2α ). قسمت الحيوانات إلي أربع مجاميع و حسب فصول السنة (100, 55, 100و 45 نعجة) للصيف, الخريف, الشتاء و الربيع على التوالي, تم تقسيم كل مجموعة من هذه المجاميع إلي مجموعتين (مجموعة المعالجة و مجموعة المراقبة), تم حقن مجموعة المعالجة بجرعتين (125ميكروجرام( من PGF2α بالعضل بفاصل 11 يوما بين الجرعة الأولى و الثانية. بينما تم حقن مجموعة المراقبة 1 مليلتر بالعضل من المحلول الفسيولوجي (NaCl 0.9) بجرعتين بفاصل 11 يوما بينهما. عند الانتهاء من حقن الجرعة الثانية في كلتا المجموعتين, تم إدخال الكباش للتلقيح الطبيعي لمدة ستة أيام. كانت الفترة الزمنية لظهور علامات الشبق بعد الانتهاء من المعالجة (الجرعة الثانية) مختلفة معنويا جدا (P

Objective: To evaluate the load redistribution mechanisms in walking and trotting dogs with induced forelimb lameness. Animals: 7 healthy adult Beagles. Procedures: Dogs walked and trotted on an instrumented treadmill to determine control values for peak and mean vertical force as well as vertical impulse for all 4 limbs. A small sphere was attached to the ventral pad of the right forelimb paw to induce a reversible lameness, and recordings were repeated for both gaits. Additionally, footfall patterns were assessed to test for changes in temporal gait variables. Results: During walking and trotting, peak and mean vertical force as well as vertical impulse were decreased in the ipsilateral forelimb, increased in the contralateral hind limb, and remained unchanged in the ipsilateral hind limb after lameness was induced. All 3 variables were increased in the contralateral forelimb during trotting, whereas only mean vertical force and vertical impulse were increased during walking. Stance phase duration increased in the contralateral forelimb and hind limb during walking but not during trotting. Conclusions and clinical relevance: Analysis of the results suggested that compensatory load redistribution mechanisms in dogs depend on the gait. All 4 limbs should be evaluated in basic research and clinical studies to determine the effects of lameness on the entire body. Further studies are necessary to elucidate specific mechanisms for unloading of the affected limb and to determine the long-term effects of load changes in animals with chronic lameness arabic 10 English 72

Several reports have discussed possible bony morphological causes of fetlock pathology but without relating them to its morphometry. Radiographic measurement is widely used in constructing numerical databases of bone morphometry. Such measurements would not be reliable unless all factors affecting the radiographs were considered. Therefore, this study aimed to establish a specific dorsopalmar view (DP) for fetlock radiographic measurements, and then to develop reliable and repeatable fetlock parameters that represent fetlock conformation on those DP radiographs. Ten cadaveric forelimbs from ten adult horses were cut at the distal third of the radius and mounted in a normal posture for DP radiography. Specific features on fetlock bones were used as landmarks to identify the DP at zero degrees. Other bony features were selected as landmarks for developing fetlock parameters on these radiographs. Twenty-seven parameters were designed in the form of angles (12) and ratios (15). The repeatability and consistency of each parameter was tested. A specific fetlock DP view was determined at zero degrees based on certain landmarks. All angular and ratio parameters showed high reliability and consistency in their measurements. The established parameters provide an opportunity to test the relationship between fetlock morphometrics and performance, or the likelihood of certain pathologies.
