Law 11794 establishes procedures for the scientific use of animals and abrogates the previous Law 6638/1979, which was ineffective because it was not regulated by the Brazilian Executive Power. Without regulation, many issues remained ill-defined, including operational procedures and responsibilities such as licensing, accreditation, and institutional compliance inspection. The new law states t...

Technologies which permit targeted manipulation of genetic material not only provide new opportunities to explore the organization, regulation and biological or pathological function of molecular processes but, in so doing, have revolutionised the development and validation of animal models. In a very short time, we have seen rapid escalation in the development of new models, most often in mice...

This paper reviews the procedures and protocols necessary for the development of a practical programme for the assessment and implementation of animal welfare on farms and in other commercial situations. An effective programme must incorporate measures of both husbandry and welfare. Most current systems are based almost entirely on measures of husbandry provision, e.g. resources and management....

husbandry practices in the United States have been industrialized, resulting in an increased number of large corporate and contract livestock operations raising thousands of animals in a single facility. Industrialized farms achieve economies of scale through specialization, increased size, and close confinement that allows high animal densities on relatively small land areas (1,2). These chang...

any economic development planning of rural regions needs an initial investigation of rural women's role in the production system, hence the purpose of this descriptive- survey study was to investigate rural women's role in animal husbandry activities. the statistical population consisted of all rural families (n=6571) in charuymaq county among which 135 were selected through a multist...

Animal welfare has achieved significant global prominence for perhaps three reasons. First, several centuries of scientific research, especially in anatomy, evolutionary biology and animal behaviour, have led to a gradual narrowing of the gap that people perceive between humans and other species; this altered perception has prompted grass-roots attention to animals and their welfare, initially ...

The life of Herbert Windsor Mumford exemplifies the advent and progression of the professional Animal Scientist in the Land-Grant Institutions of the country. His successive roles from student of Animal Husbandry through the highest administrative posts in agricultural education, experimentation and extension, and contributions to agricultural policy and programs on a national level established...

The effect of farming on the risk of upper airway symptoms is not clear. In this cross-sectional, population-based study, 198 female farmers, 50 nonfarmers living on a farm, and 218 nonfarmers not living on a farm, filled in a symptom questionnaire and underwent skin-prick testing with common and agricultural allergens. In the logistic regression analysis, the latter group served as a control. ...
