Familial aggregation of blood pressure. Preliminary report.

Familial aggregation of blood pressure levels has been under study in a random sample of Buffalo families. Spouse aggregation has been demonstrated for couples married more than 15 years. Parent-child aggregation was limited to families in which father and mother had the same systolic blood pressure level in a five-response scale. Aggregation was further limited to parents and sons. In all comparisons in which aggregation was present, it was manifested most strongly in the lower range of systolic blood pressure values.

Efficacy of maduramicin against ionophore-tolerant field isolates of coccidia in broilers.

Maduramicin ammonium was given at 2.5-8 ppm in the feed to broilers experimentally infected with coccidia recently isolated from broiler farms where ionophores had been used for several years. Infection pressure varied from mild to severe in five trials: mortality in unmedicated controls ranged from 0 to 59%, intestinal lesion scores were high, and weight gain was depressed by the infections. The cultures of Eimeria were partly resistant to ionophores: birds medicated with monensin at 100-121 ppm had only modest reductions in lesion scores and incomplete protection against weight loss or mortality. Control of infections by maduramicin was significant at 4 ppm but best at 5-7 ppm. Maduramicin was more effective than monensin or narasin, but about the same as salinomycin, in reducing lesions and mortality and in protecting performance. Maduramicin was well tolerated within the dose range of 5-7 ppm.
