Many wildlife species are live captured, sampled, and released; for polar bears (Ursus maritimus) capture often requires chemical immobilization via helicopter darting. Polar bears reduce their activity for approximately 4 days after capture, likely reflecting stress recovery. To better understand this stress, we quantified polar bear activity (via collar‐mounted accelerometers) and body temperature (via loggers in the body core [Tabd] and periphery [Tper]) during 2–6 months of natural behavior, and during helicopter recapture and immobilization. Recapture induced bouts of peak activity higher than those that occurred during natural behavior for 2 of 5 bears, …

Assessment Of Blood Metabolites, Serum Enzymes, And Serum Minerals In Dietaryprobiotics Fed Captive Asian Elephants, Dharmendra Chharang, Sheela Choudhary, Lenin Bhatt
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
This study was organised to evaluate the effect of supplementation of dietary probiotics on blood biochemistry in 18 captive Asian elephants of 30-62 years age and 3495 ± 133.34 kg body weight (BW) for two months. To observe the results in different groups, i.e. control with no probiotic (T$_{1}$) and the other two with probiotics which contained 1 × 10$^{9}$ CFU/g concentrate of Lactobacillus acidophilus (T$_{2}$) and 1 × 10$^{9}$ CFU/g concentrate of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (T$_{3}$), they were given 50 kg BW/day (dose range 48-89 g per day/elephant). The elephants were randomly divided into three groups with six elephants each. …

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
This study was conducted to investigate the effects of mannan oligosaccharides (MOSs), which are commonly used as alternatives to antibiotics, on the growth performance and some blood parameters in broiler chickens. The study included 120 Ross 308 male broiler chicks (1-day-old at the beginning of the study). There were 4 treatment groups, each consisting of 3 replicates. MOSs were added at the level of 0.05%, 0.10%, and 0.15% to the starter and finisher diets. The experiment lasted 42 days. Body weight gain (BWG), feed intake (FI), and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were not significantly different (P > 0.05) between MOS treatment …

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
The present study was conducted to study the influence of unilateral adrenalectomy in the black Bengal goat and to observe its influence on stress alleviation capability in terms of changes in blood chemistry, and further emphasis was given to determine whether a single gland is sufficient for survival in these animals. Six female kids were unilaterally adrenalectomised and the other 6 were maintained as intact controls. Blood samples were drawn at regular intervals before and after surgery. Parameters included in the study were blood pH, blood volume, TEC, haemoglobin, PCV, TLC, differential leukocyte count, cortisol, glucose, total cholesterol, total protein, …
