155 Welf modif treat anim
Animal welfare can be assessed in a precise way using measures of several kinds of abnormal behaviour, aversion, physiological responses including adrenal and opioid activity, immunosuppression, opioid activity, disease incidence, weight gain, reproductive success and life expectancy. Welfare may be affected in various ways in transgenic animals and animals treated with biotechnology products. ...
متن کاملFox predation as a cause of lamb mortality on hill farms.
Data collected between 1993 and 1996 from two Scottish hill farms were used to assess the potential importance of predation by foxes as a cause of lamb mortality. Farm 1 was in Midlothian and farm 2 in West Perthshire. Overall lamb mortality rates from birth onwards were 10.2 per cent for farm 1 and 9.3 per cent for farm 2. Sixteen lambs were identified as killed by foxes on the two farms durin...
متن کاملDetection of Neospora caninum from farm-bred young blue foxes (Alopex lagopus) in China.
Neospora caninum has been detected in several wild mammalian species, i.e., deer, coyotes, dingoes, and foxes. Farm-bred foxes were rarely reported to be affected by the parasite. In this study, we detected for the first time the infection of N.caninum in farm-bred young blue foxes (Alopex lagopus) in China. Neospora-like tissue cysts were observed in brains and kidneys of the foxes by histopat...
متن کاملContents of Copper, Chromium, Nickel, Lead, and Zinc in Hair and Skin of Farm Foxes
The content of trace elements (Cu, Cr, Ni, Pb, and Zn) in hair and skin of silver fox (Vulpes vulpes) and arctic fox (Alopex lagopus) were determined. The content of elements were determined using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Samples of animal hair and skin were collected from two farms located in mid-western Poland: farm A, situated in a rural area and far...
متن کاملSelection for tameness has changed brain gene expression in silver foxes
A long-term selection experiment for tameness in silver foxes offers a unique model to study transcriptome evolution associated with early canid domestication without confounding environmental effects. Our results suggest that dramatic behavioural and physiological changes caused by selection for tameness may be associated with only limited changes in brain transcriptome. The first step in dome...
