The article summarizes several veterinary-related studies and reports from the Veterinary Record, September 15, 1945, and September 22, 1945. These include topics such as anthrax in livestock, canine pathology, bleeding swine, whipworm treatment in dogs, penicillin therapy in actinomycosis, nymphomania in a mare, urinary calculus in a bitch, sodium bisulfate poisoning in a dog, artificial insemination in a bull, and a phenothiazine trial in calves. There are also reports on hypocalcaemia in ewes and the lymphatic system in veterinary practice. Additionally, the article discusses a book on bionergetics and growth, which presents a detailed study on the energetic efficiencies of agricultural processes, including meat, milk, eggs, and muscular work, conducted at the Missouri Agricultural Experiment Station. The book covers various topics such as growth, form and function, dietary energy categories, energetic efficiencies of growth and work processes, specific dynamic action, the principle of diminishing increments, metabolic catalysts, animal calorimetry, basal energy metabolism, maintenance needs, linear growth, physiologic time, and equivalence of age. The book also includes chapters on nutrition, milk, egg production, and muscular work. The book is a unique contribution to the literature on energy in relation to biology. The article also includes news about O.V.C. alumni, including Dr. L. A. Merillat, who was awarded the twelfth International Veterinary Congress Prize, and other alumni updates. Additionally, the article mentions the annual meeting of the British Columbia Veterinary Association, where Dr. Ranta discussed the contributions of veterinary scientists to human health.The article summarizes several veterinary-related studies and reports from the Veterinary Record, September 15, 1945, and September 22, 1945.
