This invention provides a method for culturing a fluke. Culture introduced elite or wild strong flukes by manpower in clean pool or tank. The culturing process is feeding breeding seedling and feeding seedling in a small pool with anticoagulant-treated fresh blood of cattle, pig, sheep or fowls, or feeding with the packaged treated fresh blood packaged with pig small intestine and put in the pool after bundled to nodular of 2-3cm each membered. This feeding technology is modern; especially this invention adopts noncondensing blood that can guarantee both quality and novelty of the blood, so as to guarantee health and good growing of flukes.

A hoof plate is provided which is applied to a hoofed animal having a hoof problem, such as laminitis which is characterized by a degeneration of the horny and sensitive laminae in the hoof that causes the coffin bone to drop and rotate, resulting in pain and debilitation of the animal. Other problems treated are split, cracked, shelly and splayed hoofs, and thin hoof walls. The plate is flexible metal plate having a plurality of spaced apertures. If the horse is to be treated shod, a shoe is applied and nails are driven through the hoof wall and the plate apertures and clinched against the plate. Screws are then applied to immovable secure the plate to the hoof. If unshod treatment is used, the plate is just screwed to the hoof. Outward hoof growth is restrained for a period of 8-16 weeks, during which oxygenated blood flow is stimulated to the circumflex artery in the hoof capsule, resulting in laminae regeneration, and growth in the hoof wall, frog, heels and sole. The effects coffin bone re-rotation (where dropped in laminitis) and enables the animal to walk more normally.

Methods and compositions are provided for the creation and screening of non-human animal models having many of the histologic characteristics of human psoriasis. Immunocompromised host animals are injected with a purified population of CD45Rb positive cells, which are tolerant of the host major histocompatibility antigens, but are mismatched at one or more minor antigens. The injected cells are stimulated with a pro-inflammatory cytokine, e.g. IL-12, and a polyclonal activating agent. The injected animals develop a chronic skin disorder that includes histological features observed in human psoriasis, e.g. rete pegs, severe acanthosis and infiltration of Th1 cells into the dermis.
