The goal of carnivore conservation is to reverse the decline in populations and to secure remaining populations in ways that will assure enduring public support. In this context, biotechnology is a tool with tremendous potential for assist...
متن کاملWildlife Contraception: Targeting the Oocyte
The USDA’s National Wildlife Research Center (NWRC) has successfully researched and developed a number of chemical and immunologically-based wildlife contraceptives. DiazaconTM interferes with cholesterol metabolism and disrupts steroidogenesis, while nicarbazin (registered as OvoControl-P and OvoControl-G) disrupts the structure of the vitelline membrane of bird eggs. Immunologically-based age...
