IMPACTACION [9 records]

Record 1 2011-11-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Animal Diseases
DEF

A disease of beef cows with large energy requirements, e.g. during very cold weather or when fed poor quality roughage with low energy content and poor digestibility. The abomasum impacts with dry roughage and the abdomen distends on the right; clinical signs are scant feces and emaciation.

CONT

Abomasal impaction. Impaction of the abomasum develops in pregnant beef cows during cold winter months when cattle have decreased water intake and are fed poor-quality roughage. It also has been seen in feedlot cattle fed a variety of mixed rations containing chopped or ground roughage (straw, hay) and cereal grains and in late-pregnancy dairy cows on similar feeds. Complete anorexia, scant feces, moderate distention of the abdomen, weight loss, and weakness are usually the initial signs. Body temperature is usually normal but may be subnormal during cold weather. A mucoid nasal discharge tends to collect at the external nares and on the muzzle; the muzzle is usually dry and cracked due to the failure of the animal to lick its nostrils and to the effects of dehydration. The heart rate may be increased, and mild dehydration is common.

DEF

Estado de sobrecarga en el cual dicha víscera [abomaso] se encuentra distendida por presentar en su interior cantidades anormalmente elevadas de material alimenticio, el cual suele ser de consistencia fibrosa y seca. Esto conlleva a un estado obstructivo subagudo a crónico, impidiendo que el paso del contenido pre-estomacal al intestino delgado ocurra en forma normal [...] se caracteriza por anorexia, constipación, distensión y dolor abdominal, enflaquecimiento progresivo con pérdida del estado general, deshidratación, debilidad y muerte.

CONT

En los bovinos es más frecuente en hembras preñadas durante el último tercio de la gestación. Las causas que pueden desencadenar la impactación del abomaso son múltiples, y se agrupan en primarias o secundarias. Se consideran primarias cuando la impactación ocurre como consecuencia de las características de la dieta que los animales consumen.

CONT

The overall impact resistance of a structure is defined as its ability to absorb and dissipate the energy delivered to it during relatively high speed collisions with other objects without sustaining damage that would jeopardize its intended function. ... Methods employed to determine the impact resistance of plastics include: pendulum methods (Izod impact, tensile impact, and falling dart/Gardner impact) and instrumented techniques.

DEF

impinger: Any of various instruments for collecting samples of the particles suspended in air (or another gas), this being either drawn into a liquid or directed in a jet against a flat surface so that some particles are deposited.

DEF

impactor: An impinger, especially one in which the particles are deposited on a dry surface rather than in a liquid.

The second impinger is of the Greenberg-Smith design with the standard tip.

OBS

Such devices are commonly used in apparatus used to measure the concentrations of pollutants, which they can remove with high efficiency from relatively large volumes of air.
