Neck, cattle

Cattle feeding on herbage containing 25-50 mg/kg (ppm wt) lead develop excitable jerking of muscles, frothing at the mouth, grinding of teeth, and paralysis of the larynx muscles a "roaring" noise is caused by the paralysis of the muscles in the throat and neck. 

In cattle, treatment consists of 10 mg tilmicosin/kg bw as a single injection administered subcutaneously in the neck. This results in long-lived serum and tissue tilmicosin levels. Cattle dosed with radiolabeled tilmicosin excreted most... 

The tetracyclines, apart from doxycycline and minocycline, are slowly eliminated by renal excretion (glomerular filtration). Their slow elimination can be attributed to enterohepatic circulation whereby drug excreted by the liver in bile is reabsorbed from the intestine. The half-life of oxytetracycline differs widely between animal species goat (3.4 h), cattle (4.0 h), sheep (5.2 h), dog (6.0 h), pig (6.0 h), donkey (6.5 h), horse (9.6 h), and red-necked wallaby (.Macropus rufogriseus) (11.4 h). Doxycycline, unlike other tetracyclines, is eliminated by biliary excretion and diffusion into the intestine. The half-life of doxycycline is relatively short in dogs (7.0 h) and cats (4.6 h) compared with human beings (16 h). The half-life of doxycycline in chickens (4.8 h) is shorter than in turkeys (10 h) (Santos et al, 1996). Minocycline is mainly eliminated by hepatic metabolism.

Iodine in minute quantity is a normal constituent of the human body and the average person requires a daily dose of 0 000,017 gm. Absence of the requisite amount leads to general debility and in more severe cases to goitre or big-neck . In very severe cases mental weakness develops known as cretinism, from Latin creta, chalk, because of its prevalence in Alpine districts. In Switzerland sodium iodide is added to table salt by legal regulation to ensure that everybody receives his necessary ration of iodine. In Britain there are several areas of iodine deficiency in the soil and addition of iodides to the feeding-stuffs of cattle, etc, effects an enormous improvement in the herds. 

All that openeth the matrix [the first borne] is mine and every firstling among thy cattle, whether ox or sheep, that is male. But the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb and if thou redeem him not, then shalt thou break his neck. All the firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem. And none shall appear before me empty [handed].
