Consequences And Management Of Canine Brachycephaly In Veterinary Practice: Perspectives From Australian Veterinarians And Veterinary Specialists, Anne Fawcett, Vanessa Barrs, Magdoline Awad, Georgina Child, Laurencie Brunel, Erin Mooney, Fernando Martinez-Taboada, Beth Mcdonald, Paul Mcgreevy

Paul McGreevy, PhD

This article, written by veterinarians whose caseloads include brachycephalic dogs, argues that there is now widespread evidence documenting a link between extreme brachycephalic phenotypes and chronic disease, which compromises canine welfare. This paper is divided into nine sections exploring the breadth of the impact of brachycephaly on the incidence of disease, as indicated by pet insurance claims data from an Australian pet insurance provider, the stabilization of respiratory distress associated with brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS), challenges associated with sedation and the anaesthesia of patients with BOAS; effects of brachycephaly on the brain and associated neurological conditions, dermatological conditions associated …

Impact Of Light-Emitting Diode And Compact Fluorescent Lighting Type And Cage Tier On Layers Reared In An Enriched Cage System, Part 2: Some Welfare Traits, Gülsüm Tünaydin, Bi̇lgehan Yilmaz Di̇kmen Jan 2019

Impact Of Light-Emitting Diode And Compact Fluorescent Lighting Type And Cage Tier On Layers Reared In An Enriched Cage System, Part 2: Some Welfare Traits, Gülsüm Tünaydin, Bi̇lgehan Yilmaz Di̇kmen

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of lighting type [light-emitting diode (LED) and compact fluorescent (FLO) light] and cage tier on welfare traits such as feather score, body and comb wounds, bumble foot and footpad dermatitis, beak damage, keel bone deformity, finger damage, aggressive pecking behavior, and the avoidance distance test (ADT) in laying hens reared in an enriched cage system. A total of 400 layers were used to determine these traits at 25 and 45 weeks of age. A total of 80 layers were used to determine tonic immobility (TI) duration and induction number. The …


Influence Of Rearing Conditions And Birth Season On Calf Welfare In The First Month Of Life, Ljiljana Samolovac, Slavca Hristov, Branislav Stankovic, Radojka Maletic, Renata Relic, Zvonko Zlatanovic Jan 2019

Influence Of Rearing Conditions And Birth Season On Calf Welfare In The First Month Of Life, Ljiljana Samolovac, Slavca Hristov, Branislav Stankovic, Radojka Maletic, Renata Relic, Zvonko Zlatanovic

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of farm conditions and season of birth on body mass, respiratory system diseases and diarrhea occurrence, and mortality during the first month of calves? life. The study was conducted on two tie-stall-system farms with intensive milk production and similar nutrition of dairy cows, but with differences in rearing conditions of calves in the first week of life. The calves were tied on lying area with straw as bedding material (farm A) or free in individual boxes with straw bedding (farm B). In the first consumption, they take 1-2 L of …
