Prepectoral Lymph Node) Lymphatic System lymph Lymphatic system has a particular value in the judgment of the slaughter animal. The inspection of the lymph nodes for the presence of pathological lesions lies in the fact that mainly due to the rapid response of the lymph node to an irritant with enlargement and congestion of its substance and possible breaking down of its tissue. Thus, the size, colure and consistency of lymph nodes form a valuable guide in the establishment of diseases processes in the animal body. Lymph node consists of reticular frame work of elastic and smooth muscle fibers enclosing lymphatic tissue which contains lymphocytes. The lymphatic vessel which conveying lymph to lymph node are known as Afferent. The area drained by the particular lymph node is known as Drainage area. An appreciation of the drainage areas of lymph nodes is important in the judgment of septic infections and tuberculous carcass. The lymph after passing through one more lymph node and there by ridding itself of some impurities, lymph is conveyed by efferent lymph collecting vessels. The direction of lymph flow being toward the heart. Functions of lymph node Lymph circulation Features of lymph nodes a) Size b) Shape c) Colure d) Consistency Features of lymph nodes a-Size The size of lymph nodes varies from that of a pinhead up to hen egg. However, the posterior mediastinal lymph node of cattle may reach a length of 25 cm. the size of lymph nodes is relatively greater in the young growing animal than adult, this may be attributed to a relatively greater growth intensity of lymphatic tissues. In the horse, the nodes are small and occur in large in number forming grape- like group. Whilst in ruminates they consist of a few glands of large size only. In older animals the nodes are smaller than younger animal. Features of lymph nodes b-Shape The shape of lymph nodes are generally round or oval and some what compressed. In ruminants they are large and few in numbers. While lymph node of pigs are lobulated and superficial lymph node in camel (prepectoral and superficial inguinal) are lobulated. On incision a small quantity of lymph exudate. Features of lymph nodes c-Colure The colure of lymph nodes showed considerable variation and may be white, greyish blue, or almost black. The mesenteric lymph nodes of cattle are constantly black. The lymph nodes of the pigs are lobulated and almost white, with exception of those of the head and neck which are reddish. Red colure varying degree of hyperemia Yellow colure fatty infiltration and is often met within the mesenteric lymph nodes. Green colure eosinophilia caused by parasitic invasion in the drainage area. Gray or black colures particles of dust brought to the lymph nodes through afferent lymphatic vessels especially bronchial lymph known as anthracnose.

The main node of this group is superficially situated about the middle of the first rib and just anterior to it. The second node of this group is on the same level and just anterior to the main node but is deep-seated and is exposed by making an incision 10 cm long and 5 cm deep through the triangular-shaped scalenus muscle .

    DECISION MEMORANDUM— INDIVIDUAL SANITARY MEASURE Denmark Daniel Oestmann and Priya Kadam David Smith and Kevin Gillespie EQUIVALENCE REQUEST: Denmark requested an equivalence determination for an alternative post-mortem inspection i.e. visual inspection instead of palpation and incision of lung and liver and their associated lymph nodes of slaughtered market hogs. For purposes of determining equivalence, Danish market hogs are of the 220-240 pounds /six months of age range; the alternative post-mortem inspection procedure is not applicable to sows, boars, and roaster pigs. BACKGROUND: On December 16, 2008 in an FSIS-Denmark bilateral meeting a team of FSIS experts met and reviewed Denmark’s Supply Chain Inspection system, and presentations by Danish officials. The Supply Chain Inspection system allows inspection of market hogs raised under an integrated quality control program coupled with an on-site verification at slaughter establishments of visually inspected carcasses and organs to ensure that passed carcasses and parts are wholesome and not adulterated. As a part of this inspection system, on December 24, 2008, FSIS approved Denmark’s use of an alternative post- mortem inspection procedure omitting the incision of mandibular lymph nodes for market hogs used to detect granulomatous lymphadenitis which is mitigated through on-farm controls that are assessed and reported through government oversight when hogs come to slaughter. As a part of this Supply Chain Inspection system, in April 2010, Denmark proposed another alternate visual only post mortem inspection procedure, omitting the palpation of mesenteric lymph nodes of slaughtered market hogs used to detect granulomatous lymphadenitis is mitigated through on-farm controls that are assessed and reported through government oversight when hogs come to slaughter.

Lymphatic system Examination of the lymphatic system is important for many reasons. On the one hand, lymph nodes and lymph vessels can become affected, and show characteristic lesions, in various infectious diseases, such as actinobacillosis, tuberculosis, purulent infections and mycotic lymphadenitis, and particularly bovine leukosis. On the other hand, the lymphatic system participates in pathological processes within the drainage area of a particular part by means of reactive (or metastatic) swelling, tenderness or hardening; such changes provide information about affected organs which may be concealed and inaccessible for clinical examination. Finally, abnormal enlargement of a lymph node may affect the function of adjoining organs by pressure or by infiltration. In this connexion, when taking the case history the veterinary surgeon may put questions concerning -the prior occurrence of losses through disease of the "glands" (i.e. bovine leukosis), and the results of any official blood tests; also whether recently purchased cattle came from herds, officially free from leukosis or not. The general examination (p. 6S) may have already detected abnormal enlargement of one or more lymph nodes. Clinical examination o£ the lymphatic system takes the form if inspection and palpation of accessible lymph nodes, and if necessary the course of the lymphatics. If there is suspicion of leukosis, a blood sample must be taken for white cell count or for serological testing.

  • Topography of the Major Superficial Lymph Nodes and Their Efferent Lymph Pathways in the Koala (Phascolarctos Cinereus)*
    J. Anat (1991), 177, pp. 67-73 67 With 2 figures Printed in Great Britain Topography of the major superficial lymph nodes and their efferent lymph pathways in the koala (Phascolarctos cinereus)* JONATHAN J. HANGER AND TREVOR J. HEATH Department of Anatomy, University of Queensland, St Lucia, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia 4067 (Accepted 14 January 1991) INTRODUCTION Although disease has long been recognised as a significant cause of mortality in koalas, virtually no information is available on their immune system and its responses to disease. The peculiar susceptibility of koalas to disease and the apparent incompetence of their immune systems, particularly in combating infections, has led some research workers to suggest that the immune response in these animals may be retarded in some way (Brown et al. 1987; Brown, 1988). Virtually no information, however, is available on the lymph nodes or vessels, or other aspects of the immune system, in koalas. Furthermore, the lymphatic system of other marsupials has only been described in any detail in the American opossums (Didelphys azarae and Didelphys marsupialis) (Zimmerman, 1940; Azzali & Di Dio, 1965), and the kangaroo (Macropus spp.) (Hopwood, 1980, 1988). The aim of this study was to describe the topographical anatomy of the major superficial lymph nodes and lymph pathways in koalas to their termination in the great veins. This was achieved by gross dissection, and by using Evans Blue dye and Microfil casts. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-six koalas, of both sexes aged between 9 months and 12 years, were used. All had either died previously or were in extremis from either disease or trauma associated with road accidents or dog attack.
