Oestrid myiasis in European mouflon from Spain.
From February 1992 to March 1997, 245 European mouflon (Ovis orientalis musimon) from Sierras de Cazorla, Segura y Las Villas Natural Park (southern Spain) were surveyed for oestrid larvae in order to estimate prevalence and mean intensity of parasitism by Oestrus ovis. Over 46 percent of the animals surveyed were infected, with a mean intensity of 9.6 larvae/host parasitized. No significant di...
متن کاملSeasonal Changes in the Testicular Size of Grazing Rams
Studies over 3 years showed that testicular volume falls during summer and autumn when forage quality and availability decline and when rams are mating. Loss in testicular size may also occur in summer in the absence of mating activity and at a greater rate than loss in live weight. The results suggest that mating and nutrition may override the influence of photoperiod on testicular size and th...
متن کاملEuropean Bison habitat in the Carpathian Mountains
European Bison (Bison bonasus) barely escaped extinction in the early 20th century and now only occur in small isolated herds scattered across Central and Eastern Europe. The species’ survival in the wild depends on identifying suitable habitat for establishing bison metapopulations via reintroductions of new herds. We assessed European Bison habitat across the Carpathian Mountains, a stronghol...
متن کاملSeasonal Changes I N T H E Semen of Rams
E ACH year in the central valley of California, about 10% of the breeding ewes fail to lamb. In certain years the percentage of "dry ewes" in individual flocks may be higher. Available information indicates that the problem may be environmental in nature, because a high percentage of the nonlambing ewes produce lambs in subsequent years. Because ram fertility may influence breeding efficiency u...
