Population Survey (Census) Of Stray Dog Population In Ahmedabad, Gujarat, Rahul Sehgal, Sunil Chawla, Jack Reece Jan 2011

Population Survey (Census) Of Stray Dog Population In Ahmedabad, Gujarat, Rahul Sehgal, Sunil Chawla, Jack Reece

Stray and Feral Animal Populations Collection

Ahmadabad, the biggest city of Gujarat with a human population of approximately, 6 million. The rapidly expanding population of Ahmadabad means that the metropolitan region extends far outside from the confines of the old city. However, the development is rapid but uncontrolled. Therefore, there are a large number of areas that are prone to stray dogs and these areas are constantly increasing. The old methods of population control by strychnine poisoning or electrocution employed by the municipal corporations have not proved effective in controlling street dog populations, as new dogs soon migrate into the areas, where the local dog population …


Changing China - Country Status Report Within The Political And Social Context, Deepashree Balaram, Pei F. Su Jan 2011

Changing China - Country Status Report Within The Political And Social Context, Deepashree Balaram, Pei F. Su

General - Animal Welfare

The report briefly traces Chinese history and the status of animals in China (with sections on companion animals, fur, tiger farming, bear farming, farm animals and animals in entertainment) before describing the current political system in the country and how legislation is developed and passed. The final two chapters cover existing legislation affecting animals and current initiatives relevant to animal advocacy and animal welfare legislation in the country.


Japan's 2011 Earthquake And Tsunami: Economic Effects And Implications For The United States, Dick K. Nanto, William H. Cooper, J. Michael Donnelly, Renee Johnson Jan 2011

Japan's 2011 Earthquake And Tsunami: Economic Effects And Implications For The United States, Dick K. Nanto, William H. Cooper, J. Michael Donnelly, Renee Johnson

Disasters and Disaster Response

The March 11, 2011, earthquake and tsunami that occurred in Japan followed by the nuclear crisis at the Fukushima Nuclear Complex are described. The report focuses on the damage caused by the earthquake and the resulting effects of the nuclear meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant and subsequent evacuations of people from an exclusion zone around the reactor. The effect on animals is not addressed but the Fukushima disaster is compared to the disaster in the US caused by Hurricane Katrina. Both of these disasters had substantial impacts on animals and their human caretakers and represent something of a …


Haemato-Biochemical Changes In Natural Cases Of Canine Babesiosis, Showkat Ahmad Shah, Naresh Kumar Sood, Srinivasa Rao Tumati Jan 2011

Haemato-Biochemical Changes In Natural Cases Of Canine Babesiosis, Showkat Ahmad Shah, Naresh Kumar Sood, Srinivasa Rao Tumati

Biochemistry Collection

Incidence of severe anemia due to babesiosis in dogs resulting in death in a short time of illness is on the increase in Punjab, during last few decades due to introduction of exotic breeds like Grey Hound, German shepherd, Doberman, Labrador and others. In the present study the hematological and biochemical changes in blood samples obtained from 4 dogs naturally infected with Babesia were evaluated. The dogs were presented to the Department of Veterinary Clinical Services Complex, GADVASU, Ludhiana from August 2008 to April 2009. The evaluation included Hemoglobin (Hb), Red Blood Cell count (RBC), Packed Cell Volume (PCV), Mean …


Biochemical Methane Potential Of Different Organic Wastes And Energy Crops From Estonia, M. Luna-Derisco, A. Normak, K. Orupõld Jan 2011

Biochemical Methane Potential Of Different Organic Wastes And Energy Crops From Estonia, M. Luna-Derisco, A. Normak, K. Orupõld

Biochemistry Collection

The biochemical methane potential (BMP) of different Estonian substrates as alternative sources for biogas production was studied. For this purpose, the BMP test was carried out in batch mode at mesophilic temperature (36°C). Substrates were divided into 2 groups: agricultural substrates (silage, hay, cattle and pig slurry) and food industry residues (milk, brewery and cereal industry residues). Methane yields obtained were between 286–319 L kgVS-1 for silage and hay, 238–317 L kgVS-1 for animal slurry and 272–714 L kgVS-1 for agro-industrial wastes. The highest methane yield was obtained from sour cream (714 L kgVS-1), the …


Effect Of Dietary Antibacterial Peptide And Zinc-Methionine On Performance And Serum Biochemical Parameters In Piglets, J. H. Wang, C. C. Wu, J. Feng Jan 2011

Effect Of Dietary Antibacterial Peptide And Zinc-Methionine On Performance And Serum Biochemical Parameters In Piglets, J. H. Wang, C. C. Wu, J. Feng

Biochemistry Collection

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of dietary supplementation of antibacterial peptide and zinc methionine on performance and some serum biochemical parameters of weaned piglets. Rongchang male piglets (28 days of age, initial weight 8.4 ± 0.65 kg) were used. All piglets were randomly allotted to four diets including the control group, the antibacterial peptide (AP) group containing 10 mg antibacterial peptide/kg diet, the zinc methionine (Zn-Met) group with 1 200 zinc methionine/kg diet (equal to 200 mg Zn2+/kg diet), the zinc methionine/antibacterial peptide (Zn/AP) group containing 10 mg antibacterial peptide and 1 200 …

Morton, O. Burman, N. Dennison, P. Honess, M. Jennings, S. Lane, V. Middleton, J. V. Roughan, S. Wells, K. Westwood

Research Methodology and Laboratory Animals Collection

The refinement of husbandry and procedures to reduce animal suffering and improve welfare is an essential component of humane science. Successful refinement depends upon the ability to assess animal welfare effectively, and detect any signs of pain or distress as rapidly as possible, so that any suffering can be alleviated. This document provides practical guidance on setting up and operating effective protocols for the welfare assessment of animals used in research and testing. It sets out general principles for more objective observation of animals, recognizing and assessing indicators of pain or distress and tailoring these to individual projects. Systems for …
