Differences in fecal particle size between free-ranging and captive individuals of two browser species.
Data from captive animals indicated that browsing (BR) ruminants have larger fecal particles-indicative of lesser chewing efficiency-than grazers (GR). To answer whether this reflects fundamental differences between the animal groups, or different reactions of basically similar organisms to diets fed in captivity, we compared mean fecal particle size (MPS) in a GR and a BR ruminant (aurox Bos p...
متن کاملBartonella species detection in captive, stranded and free-ranging cetaceans.
We present prevalence of Bartonella spp. for multiple cohorts of wild and captive cetaceans. One hundred and six cetaceans including 86 bottlenose dolphins (71 free-ranging, 14 captive in a facility with a dolphin experiencing debility of unknown origin, 1 stranded), 11 striped dolphins, 4 harbor porpoises, 3 Risso's dolphins, 1 dwarf sperm whale and 1 pygmy sperm whale (all stranded) were samp...

Cause Chlamydiosis refers to an infection with organisms of the genus Chlamydia sp., which are bacteria that live within animal cells. Chlamydia psittaci is the species generally associated with this disease in birds. The severity of the disease differs by the strain of C. psittaci and the susceptibility of different species of birds. As a result, chlamydiosis may range from an inapparent infec...
متن کاملDifferences in the capture stress response between captive and free-ranging roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) and its modulation by acepromazine
This study examined the differences in the capture stress response between captive and freeranging roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) and its modulation by acepromazine over a threehour period following the capture operation. We captured 32 roe deer (16 free-ranging and 16 captive) using drive-nets. These two groups were further divided into two sub-groups: animals in the treatment group received a...
متن کاملGammaretrovirus-specific antibodies in free-ranging and captive Namibian cheetahs.
The cheetah population in Namibia is the largest free-ranging population in the world and a key population for research regarding the health status of this species. We used serological methods and quantitative real-time PCR to test free-ranging and captive Namibian cheetahs for the presence of feline leukemia virus (FeLV), a gammaretrovirus that can be highly aggressive in populations with low ...
