The values of the main reproduction indices of the Semigreu of Transylvania horses from Beclean Stud, Romania are presented and analyzed in this paper. They are reported based on the inventory data of the reproduction activity of 87 dams, recorded during 2008-2012. Based on raw data obtained from the stud inventory, the most significant reproduction indices were calculated: number of cycles/gestation, number of freshening/gestation, service-period (SP), gestation length (DG) and calving interval. The analyzed indices were determined function of years. The average values of the reproduction indices emphasize a normal evolution of the reproduction function in Semigreu of Transylvania mares. The differences, by years, between the reproduction indices are mainly resulted from the influence of several factors that differ from a year to another, as social deficiencies, technological deficiencies, etc. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Investigations were done on 7 alive samples in agonic or death stage, taken from an extensive exploitation pond, in north-east Transylvanian zone, with an water surface of 0,2 ha and a total fish quantity of about 200 kg, second summer carp of an average weight of 300 g/individual. As a result of clinical, bacterioscopy and bacteriology and also necropsy laboratory exam it were put in evidence some aspects. So, clinical exam has revealed, by the presence of integument hemorrhagic ulcerous lesions, also the presence of some crustacaee ectoparasites, Argulus foliaceus species, which have made easier the disease spreading in whole effective. Necropsy exam puts in evidence, anatomyclinic, the presence of integument hemorrhagic lesions under a point or diffuse form, but also ulcers and muscle - cutaneous necrosis. As a following of bacterioscopy exam of smears done from pathologic material taken in cutaneous lesions and colored by Gram method it was ascertained the presence of a bacterial polymorph flora, of bacillus and cocobacillus type, Gram negative. Bacteriologic exam (cultural), realized on ordinary culture mediums (sauce, water) and selective mediums (agar with blood) isolates in pure culture germs from Aeromonas kind, basis on morphological and cultural characters, which are framed in Aeromonas genus patterns described by speciality literature. As a following of biochemical characters exam, with the help of multitest API20E system it was established that Aeromonas spp. strains isolated, belong to hydrophila group 1 species, species which is responsible of bacterial hemorrhagic septicemia performing in carp. By testing the sensitiveness to antibodies and chemiotherapy in strains which have been found as diagnosis (diffusiometric method of antibiogram), it was ascertained that group 1 Aeromonas hydrophila strains, isolated from disease pesthole, were in decreasing order sensitive to : Eurofloxocin, Florfenicol (Floron) and Oxitetracycline and resistant to Ampiciline, Amoxicilin, Eritromicin.

During 2010, from a poultry farm in Transylvania, 12 articulation samples were received from youth avian chicken egg farm where the disease has progressed sporadically at 2 different series in the form of arthritis, initially unilateral and later bilateral. Classical bacteriological techniques made towards mycoplasmosis was negative while from all the samples were isolated strains of Staphylococcus spp. Isolates from both first and the second episode of disease were framed after examination properties using the API Staph biochemical galleries in the species Staphylococcus intermedius. Following testing the strains susceptibility to antibiotics (diffusimetrical technique) was found that they are sensitive to: Penicillin, Amoxicillin, Ampicillin, Enroxil, Floron, Thiamphenicol, Linco-Spectin, Pristinamycine, Tetracycline, Oxacillin, Ceftiofur and resistant to Methicillin.
