About This Journal
Veterinary Medicine and Science is a peer-reviewed, open access journal for the rapid dissemination of research in all areas of veterinary medicine and science. The journal aims to serve the research community by providing a vehicle for authors wishing to publish good quality research in both fundamental and clinical veterinary medicine and science. We publish original research articles, reviews, and case reports, along with editorials, commentaries and opinion pieces. Original research papers must report well-conducted research with conclusions supported by the data presented in the paper.

Abstract
Dietary choline supplementation had a beneficial effect on lipid parameters and cardiovascular health of older breeder ducks, as it decreased atherosclerosis index, a predictor of cardiovascular disease risk. Furthermore, although it increased the egg yolk trimethylamine levels in ducks, it did not alter the egg yolk cholesterol concentration.

Abstract
Neighbor joining phylogeny of 66 ITS1 gene sequences of E. tenella. The analysis involved 66 nucleotide sequences (7 studied genotype sequences and 59 reference sequences, retrived from GenBank database). The sequences were aligned and constructed a neighbor joining tree. The percentage of replicate trees in which the associated taxa clustered together in the bootstrap test (1000 replicates) are shown next to the branches. The tree is drawn to scale, with branch lengths in the same units as those of the evolutionary distances used to infer the phylogenetic tree. Red bullets indicate studied genotype sequences.

Abstract
Rapid kit results were positive for mucosal swabs in 10 cases (50%) and for CSF in 17 cases (85%); RT-PCR results from whole blood were positive in 11 cases (55%) and CSF in 16 cases (80%). All mucosal swabs, whole blood and CSF are good samples for diagnosing CDV in a dog that has neurological signs with systemic symptoms of distemper, while the CSF is good sample in dogs that show only neurological signs of distemper without systemic symptoms.

Abstract
This review summarises the current knowledge about the intestinal microbiome composition in the dog and evaluates the evidence for probiotic and prebiotic use in dogs to date. It wishes to provide veterinarians with evidence-based information on when and why these products could be useful in preventing or treating canine gastrointestinal diseases. It also outlines knowledge about safety and approval of commercial probiotic and synbiotic products, and the potential use of faecal microbial transplantation, as they are related to the topic of probiotic usage.

Abstract
This manuscript, Part 1 of a two-part instalment, emphasizes the importance of using local and regional anaesthesia as a component of multimodal analgesia, provides a review of the basic pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics of local anaesthetic drugs in general, lists information on commonly used local anaesthetic drugs for local and regional blockade in dogs and cats, and briefly introduces the novel liposome-encapsulated bupivacaine.

Abstract
Obese dogs seem to have a different gut microbiota composition compared to lean dogs, and in humans, gut microbiota composition negatively impacts the ability to lose weight in some individuals. During a 12-week weight-loss intervention in dogs, weight loss rate seemed to be related to the composition of the gut microbiota and its production of metabolites.

Abstract
Spay or neuter of German Shepherd Dogs before they reach one year of age is associated with a threefold increase in the incidence of one or more joint disorders above the 5–7% incidence level in males and females left gonadally intact. The main joint disorder evidently increased by neutering is cranial cruciate ligament tears rather than hip dysplasia which is more prevalent in intact dogs.
