About this title

Synopsis

The Veterinary Record, And Transactions Of The Veterinary Medical Associationis a mid-19th-century British veterinary periodical excerpt (October 1848) that blends anatomical and physiological investigation with clinical reports and professional notes. It centers on the digestive system of ox and sheep, detailing general anatomy, digestion, and pathology of ruminants, including oral structures, salivary function, esophageal design, and the four-chamber stomach (rumen, reticulum, omasum, abomasum). It explains rumination, fermentation, and inter-chamber movement, then covers the duodenum, bile and pancreatic secretions, lacteals and chyle transport, and intestinal absorption, closing with diet–health correlations. Pathology discussed includes choking, acute tympanitis, and spasmodic colic, with cautions on treatment and indications for veterinary involvement. A section on purgatives (W. J. T. Morton) frames mechanisms by chemical-physiological actions, classifies purgatives, and outlines guidance for common substances, warning against unsafe dosing and promising continuation. The issue also collects case reports and notes: navicular fractures, tetanus in horses, Alsike clover effects, rumen derangement, foetal extraction devices, variola ovina and related public-health acts, plus debates on anesthesia, ethics, and professional practice. Across these pieces, the text reflects an era when anatomy, physiology, and chemistry were fused to improve livestock health, training, and governance of veterinary medicine.
