Q

What is the normal value of Urea concentration in milk?

Q

When do we use urea in food?

A
  • for ruminants for synthesis of protein
  • start with small amount and gradually increase it
  • important to give forage with enough energy so pH of rumen is low, low pH decreases the action of Urease

Extra
- Urea > Urease > NH3 (toxic) + CO2
- NH3 is alkaline gas
- Therapy is to acidify rumen = Acetic acid or HCl

Q

Calculation of Urea concentration in blood and milk?

A

Urea (mmol/l) = A1/A2 x 16.65
- A1= absorbance of sample
- A2 = absorbance of standard

20
Q

Urea concentration in blood is determined by?

A
  • water extraction and spectrophotometry
21
Q

What is the course of Urea poisoning? (clinical symptoms)

A

-Increase of pH in rumen content
-Tremor, Fibrillation (Face and ears)
-Exopthalmus
-Increased respiratory rate
-Expressive jugular puls
-Pulmonary edema
-Groaning (abdominal pain)
-Staggering
-Foamy salivation
-Grinding teeth
-Bloating
-Cyanosis
-Hyperthermia
-Tonic colonic convolution
-Death within 2 hours

22
Q

How do we quantitative determine MtHb in blood?

A

By spectrophotometry

23
Q

What compounds cause methemoglobinaemia (MtHb)?

A

-Chlorates
-Carbamates
-Oxidases of nitrogen
-Aromatic nitro and amino compounds

24
Q

What is the therapy in methemoglobinanemia

A

Methylene blue 1-2mg/kg intravenously in a 1-2% solution, it reduces Fe3+ to Fe2+

25
Q

The mechanism of creating methemoglobin is?

A

-Iron is oxidized from Fe2+ to Fe3+
-NO3- > NO2- and Fe2+ > Fe3+

26
Q

Therapy of cyanide poisoning?

A

Sodium nitrite
- is applied and MtHb is formed
- Cyanide binds to i and form MtHbCN

Sodium thiosulfate
- is applied and SCN- (non toxic) is formed
- eliminated by urine

27
Q

NaCl is extracted by?
NaCl is determined from?

A

H2O Extraction

28
Q

What method do we use for determination of NaCl and NO3-

A

NO2- / H2O polarography

29
Q

Brucine is used as a detection for qualitative determination of?

A

NO3- (Nitrate)

30
Q

Which colour indicator is specific for qualitative determination of NO2-?

A

Griess-Illosway indicator

31
Q

What are the chemicals which need water extraction as part of their determination?

A

Nitrite and Nitrate

32
Q

Nitrates is reduced by rumen and intestine to ?

A

Nitrites (cause methemoglobinaemia)

33
Q

Anticoagulant rodenticides inhibit?

A

Production of prothrombine

34
Q

Polarography is?

A

An electrochemical method

35
Q

What is Zinc phosphide?

A

Rodenticides

36
Q

Zinc phosphide and Arsenic is determined ?

A

Without sample adjustments

37
Q

What happens when Zn3P2 enters the body?

A
  • When in contact with acidic stomach (HCl) it will transform into 2PH3
  • The smell of stomach content is garlic

Zn3P2 + 2HCl > 2PH3

38
Q

What is the therapy of Zn3P2 poisoning?

A
  • Tube to release phosphine gas from stomach
  • Remove stomach and intestine content (tube or laxative)
  • Spasms treated by antispasms
