abstract

in may 2007, a suborder shoka deer calf about one month of age was found in a preserved area of arasbaran in the east azerbaijan province. from an ecological view point, the arasbaran area is uniquely labelled as a reserve biosphere. he calf had diarrhea that recovered after treatment. during rearing, the calf received pasteurized- homogenized milk from market as well as milk of a goat. after 3 weeks, the animal suddenly showed acute depression, anorexia and hypothermia. antimicrobial and supportive therapy was ineffective and the calf died 12 hours after showing clinical signs. at necropsy, chemical rumenitis and hemorrhagic enteritis was observed. pure escherichia coli was isolated from liver, lungs, rumen and small intestine contents. histopathologic examination revealed severe chemical rumenitis and necrohemorrhagic enteritis. absence of mother, intake of milk from other species and stress of capture were predisposing factors. entry and fermentation of milk in rumen provoked chemical rumenitis and stasis of digestive system could be responsible for septicemic colibacillosis (colisepticemia) and death in this shoka calf.

Ectoparasites on reintroduced roe deer Capreolus capreolus in Israel.

The ectoparasite fauna of reintroduced roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) was surveyed in a Mediterranean forest in Israel. Ectoparasites were collected from four female hand-reared deer during 2004 and 2005. Seasonality, predilection sites of infestation, and the apparent effect of the parasites are presented. This is the first study of roe deer parasites in the East Mediterranean. The ectoparasit...

Hand-rearing Roe deer Capreolus capreolus: practice and research potential

Four , Roe deer Capreolus capreolus were hand-reared and released into a 10 ha enclosed natural habitat. This paper describes the hand-rearing procedure, nutrition and development, which we compare with other documented cases. We illustrate the handling techniques that enabled us to maintain a close relationship with the hand-reared Roe deer in their adulthood and study them under semifree-rang...

Amino acids content and basic chemical composition of roe deer (Capreolus capreolus L.) meat.

The aim of this study was to determine the chemical composition of roe deer meat considering the animals' sex and age and to estimate the content of amino acids in the meat from two selected groups of the animals, i.e. 2-3-year-old males and females. A further goal was to assess the biological value of proteins as compared to the FAO standard. The study has revealed that in proteins from the ro...

Interrelationships between reproductive cycle, age, body weight and steroid hormones in roe deer females (Capreolus capreolus)

The aim of present studies was to examine the interrelationships between reproductive events, age, body mass and steroid hormones in roe deer females (Capreolus capreolus). For this purpose we compared seasonal changes in body mass, blood levels of progesterone and estradiol (1) in young (1 year) and adult (2-4 years old) does and (2) in pregnant and non-pregnant animals. Monthly during 12 mont...
