    A new method using a polyvinyl catheter to collect bovine lachrymal fluid was developed. This technique allows for simple and accurate measurement of lachrymal fluid flow rate in cattle.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Ophthalmology
    • Animal Physiology

    Background:

    • The lacrimal system in bovines plays a crucial role in ocular health.
    • Accurate measurement of lacrimal fluid is essential for diagnosing and managing various ocular conditions in cattle.
    • Existing methods for lacrimal fluid collection may be invasive or lack precision.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a simple, minimally invasive method for collecting bovine lacrimal fluid.
    • To enable precise measurement of lacrimal fluid flow rate in cattle.
    • To provide a tool for further research into bovine ophthalmology and lacrimal physiology.

    Main Methods:

    • Catheterization of the bovine lacrimal duct using an expanded polyvinyl catheter.
    • Collection of lacrimal fluid over extended periods (up to 8 hours and 45 minutes).
