Updating Animal Welfare Thinking: Moving beyond the “Five Freedoms” towards “A Life Worth Living”
Tập 6 Số 3 - Trang 21
The Five Freedoms have had major impact on animal welfare thinking
internationally. However, despite clear initial statements that the words
‘freedom from’ should indicate ‘as free as possible from’, the Freedoms have
come to be represented as absolute or fundamental freedoms, even rights, by some
animal advocate and other groups. Moreover, a marked increase in scientific
understanding over the la...
Avian Liver: The Forgotten Organ
Tập 9 Số 2 - Trang 63
Despite having huge responsibilities in avian species, published reports on the
influence of dietary factors and other possible constraints on the size,
development and function of liver are limited. Consideration of the factors that
could influence and alter liver function is therefore of critical relevance. In
the current review, aspects of liver structure and function, and the influence
of feed...
Why Did You Choose This Pet?: Adopters and Pet Selection Preferences in Five Animal Shelters in the United States
Tập 2 Số 2 - Trang 144-159
Responses from an adopter survey (n = 1,491) determined reasons for pet
selection, type of information received by the adopter, and the context in which
the animal’s behavior was observed. Appearance of the animal, social behavior
with adopter, and personality were the top reasons for adoption across species
and age groups. Most adopters stated that information about the animal from a
staff member...
Effect of Dietary Supplementation of Biological Curcumin Nanoparticles on Growth and Carcass Traits, Antioxidant Status, Immunity and Caecal Microbiota of Japanese Quails
Tập 10 Số 5 - Trang 754
This study was planned to evaluate the impact of different nano-curcumin levels
on the growth rate, carcass, blood chemistry and caecal microbes of growing
quail. A total of 270 Japanese quails at one-week-old were distributed to six
equal groups; each group consisted of 45 unsexed birds with five replications
(nine quails each). The 1st group was fed a basal diet, whereas the 2nd, 3rd,
4th, 5th a...
Nutritional Influences on Skatole Formation and Skatole Metabolism in the Pig
Tập 2 Số 2 - Trang 221-242
Skatole is a tryptophan (TRP) metabolite with fecal odor. Together with the
testicular steroid androstenone it is regarded as a main determinant of boar
taint, even if elevated concentrations of skatole occur occasionally in gilts
and barrows. Skatole concentrations in adipose tissue result from a complex
process, which includes the availability of TRP and the presence of specialized
bacteria in t...
Using the Horse Grimace Scale (HGS) to Assess Pain Associated with Acute Laminitis in Horses (Equus caballus)
Tập 6 Số 8 - Trang 47
Acute laminitis is a common equine disease characterized by intense foot pain,
both acutely and chronically. The Obel grading system is the most widely
accepted method for describing the severity of laminitis by equine
practitioners, however this method requires movement (walk and trot) of the
horse, causing further intense pain. The recently developed Horse Grimace Scale
(HGS), a facial-expressio...
Toxic Effects on Bioaccumulation, Hematological Parameters, Oxidative Stress, Immune Responses and Tissue Structure in Fish Exposed to Ammonia Nitrogen: A Review
Tập 11 Số 11 - Trang 3304
Ammonia nitrogen is the major oxygen-consuming pollutant in aquatic
environments. Exposure to ammonia nitrogen in the aquatic environment can lead
to bioaccumulation in fish, and the ammonia nitrogen concentration is the main
determinant of accumulation. In most aquatic environments, fish are at the top
of the food chain and are most vulnerable to the toxic effects of high levels of
ammonia nitrog...
Why Do So Many Calves Die on Modern Dairy Farms and What Can We Do about Calf Welfare in the Future?
Tập 3 Số 4 - Trang 1036-1057
Poor bovine neonatal survival rates are an international animal welfare issue.
The key modifiable risk factors associated with such loss are age at first
calving in primiparae, calf breed, gender and gestation length and calving
management. The primary causes of mortality in the perinatal period are calving
problems, in particular dystocia, defined as both difficult and abnormal
calvings. Calf los...
Aeromonas veronii Infection in Commercial Freshwater Fish: A Potential Threat to Public Health
Tập 10 Số 4 - Trang 608
Aeromonas veronii is an important pathogen causing freshwater fish sepsis and
ulcer syndrome. An increasing number of cases have demonstrated its significance
as an aquatic zoonotic agent. The purpose of this study was to ensure the safety
of freshwater products by evaluating the infection status of edible freshwater
fish. In this experiment, we isolated A. veronii from several species of
apparent...
Digital Twins in Livestock Farming
Tập 11 Số 4 - Trang 1008
Artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and big data are
consistently called upon to analyze and comprehend many facets of modern daily
life. AI and ML in particular are widely used in animal husbandry to monitor
both the animals and environment around the clock, which leads to a better
understanding of animal behavior and distress, disease control and prevention,
and effective busines...
