Acacia saligna (Labill.) H.L. Wendl. forage is an alternative feed supply for goats during dry periods It was used as feed during pregnancy and lactation to evaluate production response and some blood parameters. Six animals in each group were fed with 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100% of acacia as alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) hay replacement in a completely randomized design. Forage chemical analysis was done to calculate nutrient intake. Blood samples were analyzed for albumin, urea N, globulin, total protein, Ca, and P. Productive parameters were analyzed by ANOVA, Duncan, and regression analyses between acacia and dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), metabolizable energy (ME), and milk production. Acacia consumption during pregnancy was 65.5% of control, affected by the consumption of CP, ME intake and body condition (P < 0.01). Body weight showed no change and 25.9% was the inflection point of the response curve. Birth weight was different for 100% acacia in the diet (P < 0.05). In lactation DM, CP, and ME intake increased (P < 0.01). Body weight and body conditions decreased for groups with 50% and 25% acacia. Only urea N and albumin were affected by inclusion of acacia. Milk production decreased (P < 0.01) with over 50% acacia. Milk production was 160.2, 163.4, 128.2, 125.9, and 66.5 L for 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100% of acacia, respectively. Goat diets should not include more than 25% acacia forage during pregnancy and lactation. Keys word: Acacia saligna, pregnancy, lactation, milk production, goats, albumins.

Los animales fueron asignados a grupos que recibieron 0, 25, 50, 75 y 100% de acacia en reemplazo de heno de alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), en un diseno completamente al azar. Análisis químico de forraje fue realizado para calcular consumo de nutrientes. Albumina, N úrico, globulinas, proteína total, Ca, y P fueron analizados en sangre. Se controló peso, condición corporal, y peso de nacimiento. Se realizó ANDEVA, Duncan, y regresión para acacia y las variables evaluadas. El consumo de acacia en la prenez fue 65,5% del control, afectó el consumo de proteína cruda (PC), energía metabolizable (EM) y condición corporal (P < 0,01). El peso corporal no fue afectado (P < 0,01), siendo 25,9% el nivel límite de inclusión de acacia. El peso de nacimiento fue diferente con 100% de acacia (P < 0,05). En lactancia, el consumo de MS, PC, y EM aumentó (P < 0,01). Niveles de 50 y 25% acacia disminuyeron el peso y la condición corporal. El N úrico y albumina fueron afectados por la acacia. La producción de leche disminuyó (P < 0,01) con niveles superiores a 50%, obteniéndose 160,2; 163,4; 128,2; 125,9; y 66,5 L con 0, 25, 50, 75 y 100% de acacia, respectivamente. La acacia no debe incorporarse en niveles mayores a 25% en dietas de caprinos en prenez y lactancia.

We report a 23 year old woman at 24 weeks of gestation with known bulimia and gastritis who was admitted to the hospital with acute abdominal pain. Laparotomy confirmed the clinical diagnosis of cecal volvulus and a right hemi-colectomy was performed.

Shaving the day before operation is safe only if it is combined by an adequate disinfection with Jodophoren and followed by sterile packing of the operation field.

We present a case of missed diaphragmatic rupture which was treated thoracoscopically. Rupture of the diaphragm is a serious complication of blunt trauma. The diaphragmatic injury can easily be overlooked. This report illustrates the diagnostic dilemma in a patient where the injury was missed at the time of initial presentation. The role of thoracoscopy both for diagnosis and therapy is discussed.

The importance and the poor prognosis of colorectal liver metastases are well known. Once liver metastases have been detected, the median survival time is in the range of 9–12 months [1–4], the extent of the tumor being the most important prognostic factor [4]. Local recurrence and liver metastases are the most common types of failure after “curative” colorectal surgery in clinical series [5].
