Quick Bibliography Series Bibliographies in the Quick Bibliography Series of the National Agricultural Library, are intended primarily for current awareness, and as the title of the series implies, are not indepth exhaustive bibliographies on any given subject. However, the citations are a substantial resource for recent investigations on a given topic. They also serve the purpose of bringing the literature of agriculture to the interested user who, in many cases, could not access it by any other means. The bibliographies are derived from computerized on-line searches of the AGRICOLA data base. Timeliness of topic and evidence of extensive interest are the selection criteria.

The author/searcher determines the purpose, length, and search strategy of the Quick Bibliography. Information regarding these is available upon request from the author/searcher.

Copies of this bibliography may be made or used for distribution without prior approval. The inclusion or omission of a particular publication or citation may not be construed as endorsement or disapproval.

Language: English Descriptors: Dogs; Animal behavior; Sounds; Acoustic properties; Physical activity Abstract: The hypothesis that short, rapidly repeated rising notes increase motor activity levels in canids, and that longer, continuous descending notes decrease activity was tested. Young laboratory-raised domestic dogs were trained in a repeated measures study to (1) come to the trainer and to (2) sit and stay for 2 s to two different acoustic stimuli: four short notes with a rising fundamental frequency and one long note with a descending fundamental frequency. While one long note was not more effective at eliciting a sit/stay response, four short notes were more effective at eliciting a come response and increasing motor activity levels than one longer continuous note. Thus, acoustic stimuli are not equipotent in eliciting responses that require changes in motor activity levels and could be used by signal senders to influence the behaviour of the signal receiver. The acoustic structures in the study are compared with vocalizations of mammals and birds that elicit approach, and/or increase motor activity levels. 3 NAL Call.

London : Academic Press; 1991 Nov. Animal behaviour v. 42 (pt.5): p. 827-839; 1991 Nov. Includes references. Language: English Descriptors: Animal welfare; Pain; Assessment Abstract: Judgements about pain and suffering in animals are required by the law of many countries and by many professional guidelines. Nevertheless, such assessments raise many problems, even in humans. Furthermore, an appeal to continuities between humans and other animals is clouded when, as is still the case, both the evolution and the function of a subjective sense of pain are obscure. Despite these difficulties, the criteria that lead to the judgement that a human is in pain can be generalized with substantial measure of agreement to other animals. This generalization is done on the basis of uncovering comparable mechanisms and comparable behaviour; then the whole cluster of features found in the animal is used to make the judgement. The less similar the animal to a human and the less complex it is, the more difficult is the assessment. The fuzziness of the boundary, between those animals that are judged to feel pain and those that are not does not invalidate the process of assessment. However, the extent to which an animal is given the benefit of the doubt clearly depends on the empathy a person feels for it as well as the type of ethical concerns that motivate the person. 30 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Cattle; Spermatozoa; Semen characters; Semen preservation; Male fertility; Ai bulls; In vitro; Literature reviews Abstract: In vitro storage of bovine spermatozoa virtually indefinitely has provided the opportunity to distribute conveniently and widely germ plasm from superior sires and benefit the productivity of cattle around the world. Techniques developed in our laboratories are well on their way to being able to predict accurately the fertility of young, prospective sires without the inconvenience and expense of large field trials. Manipulation of spermatozoa provides opportunities for the predetermination of sex of resulting offspring, the introduction of foreign DNA into oocytes, and the formation of transgenic individuals. Many other possibilities are limited only by the ingenuity of those conducting research in this exciting field. 35 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Puppies; Laboratory rearing; Animal welfare Abstract: Developments leading to improved puppy care and welfare are constantly being sought in the breeding colony. New ideas about environmental control, pen design, feeding regimes, husbandry and staff training have been introduced and evaluated. The success of each change cannot easily be proved as improvements in puppy health depend upon so many factors. However as a result of a complete care and welfare programme there have been fewer health problems and lower pre-weaning loss, in our colony. 40 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Miniature pigs; Catheterization Abstract: Long-term venous access for leukapheresis, repeated blood sampling, and administration of drugs and fluids can be accomplished nonsurgically in Yucatan miniature swine. The catheter is placed under fluoroscopic guidance into the inferior vena cava using a needle and guidewire. This procedure has the advantage that it avoids a surgical incision, allows high How rates, exits conveniently on the lower back, and can be replaced easily in the event of mechanical failure or thrombosis. Actuarial analysis of the duration of patency disclosed that of 41 catheters placed in 30 animals, the probability of function at 28, 42, and 54 days was 75%, 50%, and 25%, respectively. Eleven nonfunctioning catheters were replaced and nine of these continued to function until the completion of the experiment. No catheters were removed due to infection. Chronic catheterization of the inferior vena cava is a convenient method for long-term venous access in swine. 45 NAL Call. No.: 49 J82 Clinical assessment of selenium status of livestock.

Language: English Descriptors: Racehorses; Pigs; Dairy cows; Selenium; Blood serum; Laboratory methods; Accuracy; Blood analysis; Species differences; Normal values; Selenosis; Feed supplements; Feed mixing; Errors; Hay Abstract: Assessment of the selenium status of livestock is an important aspect of production medicine, but variations in reported values between laboratories and between methods may be > 30%. Reliable interpretations require considerable experience with an assay and an extensive database from field and research case samples of a variety of species. The Michigan State University Animal Health Diagnostic Laboratory (MSU-AHDL) has offered Se analyses by acid-digestion and fluorometric detection since 1982. This laboratory expects serum Se values (nanograms per milliliter) of livestock to increase gradually with age from starting ranges for neonates of 50 to 80 for calves and sheep and 70 to 90 for foals and pigs. Expected or "normal" values for the adults are in the ranges of 70 to 100 for cattle, 120 to 150 for sheep, 130 to 160 for horses, and 180 to 220 for swine. Normal liver Se concentrations are considered to range between 1.2 and 2.0 micrograms/g on a dry weight basis, regardless of the species or age. Based on samples submitted to MSU-AHDL between September 1990 and August 1991, contemporary feeding practices in the Michigan area resulted in mean serum Se values (nanograms per milliliter) of 75 +/- 19 for adult Holsteins, 170 +/- 27 for adult swine (mixed breeds), and 137 +/- 30 for adult race horses. Within that period of time, two field cases of Se toxicity were diagnosed. One involved feeder pigs with a recorded high serum Se value of 1,525 ng/ml due to a commercial premix manufacturing error. The other involved mature horses with a recorded high serum Se of 928 ng/ml due to consumption of hays with a natural Se content of 20 ppm. 46 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Animal physiology; Laboratory animals; Videodiscs; Computer assisted instruction; Teaching methods Abstract: This study compared interactive videodisc-simulated laboratories with two types of traditional labs: a traditional general cardiovascular physiology participation lab and a traditional fibrillation/positive pressure ventilation demonstration lab. The two laboratory sections (a total of 85 first-year veterinary medical students) were divided into 12 lab groups of 3-4 students per lab section. These groups were randomly assigned to either a traditional live animal laboratory or an interactive videodisc-simulated laboratory to compare the effectiveness and efficiency of these methods in teaching physiology. A 22-item, multiple-choice/short answer test was given to all students after the laboratories. In both the participation and the demonstration laboratories, there were no significant differences between group test scores of the interactive videodisc groups and the live animal laboratory groups, but there were differences in time spent by both students and instructors. It was concluded that the interactive videodisc-simulated lab was as effective as the traditional live-animal labs and was more time efficient than the traditional participation lab. 49 NAL Call.

Paper presented at the third meeting of the Societe de Pharmacologie Cellulaire on "Alternatives to ocular irritation," October 18, 1991, Paris. Includes references. Language: English Descriptors: Animal testing alternatives; Ph Abstract: International guidelines for the evaluation of ocular irritation advise that all the available information, structural and physicochemical, should be taken into account in order to minimise the testing of substances under conditions that are likely to produce severe reactions in laboratory animals. In order to determine whether the pH and the acidic/alkaline reserve would be suitable parameters for the prediction of ocular irritation, we have measured, under standard conditions, the pH and the acidic/alkaline reserve of 166 chemicals (90 non-irritant, 22 irritant, and 54 severely irritant for the eye, according to the EEC classification and labelling system). The combination of these parameters permitted the correct identification of 74% of the severely irritant chemicals and 97% of the non-serverely irritant (non-irritant or irritant) chemicals. The predictive value for a severely irritant potential was 93%, and 88% for non-severely irritant chemicals. This physicochemical approach, used as a first line screen for ocular irritation, is very simple and inexpensive. 51 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Broilers; Chicks; Biological competition; Salmonella; Campylobacterjejuni; Microbial contamination; Commensals; Eggs; Hatcheries; Lipopolysaccharides; Food safety Abstract: The primary mission of the USDA, Agricultural Research Service, Poultry Microbiological Safety Research Unit is to develop technology preventing commensal intestinal colonization of chickens by human bacterial enteropathogens, including Salmonella and Campylobacter. The different mechanisms of colonization and the wide variety of sources of these pathogens combined with the different factors that affect host susceptibility to colonization indicate that a multifaceted research approach will be required to control Salmonella and Campylobacter during poultry production. The working hypothesis is that only by delivering chickens free of Salmonella or Campylobacter to the processing plant can significant reductions in the number and levels of contamination of chickens leaving the plant with these pathogens be achieved. As the means are developed to substantially reduce or eliminate the intestinal colonization of chickens by these pathogens, the pathogen-free chickens can be delivered to the processing plant, thereby eliminating or at least reducing the prevalence and levels of Salmonella on processed broilers. 52 NAL Call.

Champaign, Ill. : Poultry Science Association; 1992 Oct. Poultry science v. 71 (10): p. 1590-1594; 1992 Oct. Includes references. Language: English Descriptors: Turkeys; Strain differences; Laying performance; Light regime; Lighting; Energy consumption; Costs Abstract: The laying performance of six genetic strains of turkeys, which have been bred and maintained at the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center, Wooster, OH, was compared under three laying house lighting regimens over a period of 3 yr. Light Treatment 1 (L1) consisted of 14 h of continuous light (L) and 10 h of dark (D; 14L:10D) throughout the laying period. Treatment 2 (L2) consisted of 14 h of intermittent light (IL, 15 min L and 45 min D/h) followed by 10 h of continuous dark. The IL treatment was started following a period (6 wk) in which the hens were trained to use the trapnests. Thus, during the first 6 wk of their laying period, L2 hens were also provided 14L:10D. Treatment 3 (L3) hens were provided the same program as L1 for the first 14 wk of the laying period. They were then moved to a continuous period of 19L:5D for the remainder of the laying period. All eggs produced were recorded through 180 days after the first egg was laid. Traits studied included: the number of days to first egg after light stimulation; the number of eggs produced through 84, 120, and 180 days after the first egg was laid; the average clutch length; the maximum clutch length; the total days lost to broodiness; the rate of lay; and the effective length of the laying period. Highly significant differences (P < .01) were observed among the strains used for all traits measured. Light treatments showed no significant effects on any trait measured. Thus, from the present studies, the delayed IL program provides an economically attractive management program for environmentally controlled turkey breeder houses. Savings of 75% of the light energy used during approximately 6 mo of the lay period were realized. Economically, the L3 program would be disadvantageous, because electrical usage was increased 35% after the period of daylength increase with no apparent increase in productivity. 66 NAL Call.

Laboratory animal science v. 41 (4): p. 323-328; 1991 Aug. Includes references. Language: English Descriptors: Primates; Animal welfare; Social interaction; Social development Abstract: The scientific need for nonhuman primates that are born and raised in captivity seems certain to increase and with it, the concern for managing the social development of individual animals so as to maximize their utility throughout a potentially long career. This practical objective is not only compatible with a concern for psychological well-being, but presupposes similar aims and criteria. For both concerns the most reliable guidelines are derived from basic research. The data available indicate that primate social development is directional, proceeding from extreme dependence on care-givers initially (subserved by mother-directed behaviors) toward relative autonomy and adult competence (dominated by other-directed behaviors). Individuals are not passive recipients at any point in this process, rather they are active participants in their development, engaged with their surroundings and responding selectively to what the environment affords. From this standpoint, developmental effects are the outcome of transactions with the environment. They are emergent phenomena, neither wholly independent of environmental influences, nor completely determined by them. It follows that the long, range utility and well-being of captive animals will be served well if they are able to select those with whom they will interact and modes of interaction that are appropriate to their level of development and current motivational state. This can generally be accomplished by permitting individuals to develop, at least through weaning, in the company of their biologic mothers within an approximation of a species-normal social group. When such latitude is impossible, the social environment should be arranged with the individuals' developmental levels as a primary concern. 67 NAL Call.

The assignment of enrichment tasks can be made to caretakers, a dedicated "enrichment technician," volunteers, students or individuals with training in behavioral science. Determining the enrichment techniques to be used must take into account personnel time available; the species, age, sex, and individual histories of the nonhuman primates; and experimental protocols for which animals are being maintained. Identifying the most beneficial way to use the available personnel time must be tailored for each institution. To meet federal regulations, records must be kept of the environmental enhancements available to each nonhuman primate. Good record-keeping will allow appropriate evaluation of the program. This evaluation should involve the animals' responses to the enrichment opportunity, cost and durability of enrichment items, human and nonhuman safety considerations, and personnel required. The well-being of captive nonhuman primates will be most improved if well-informed decisions are made in developing and managing environmental enrichment programs. 82 NAL Call.

Includes references. Language: English Descriptors: Dairy cows; Livestock numbers; Dairy farms; Fertilizers; Soil analysis; Farm management; Runoff water; Water quality; Literature reviews Abstract: Farm material transport to, from, and within dairy farms can create zones of plant nutrient depiction and accumulation that range in scale from local to international. The introduction, adoption, and use of fertilizers have resulted in substantial movement of plant nutrients to dairy farms. Fertilizers contributed to enhanced crop growth and frequently the correction of sod nutrient deficiencies. They also represented an opportunity to replace plant nutrients exported from a farm in crops so that it was possible for some farms to specialize in the production of crops. These exported crops often became imports for other farms that specialized in livestock. However, the nutrient-holding capacity of sod on any farm is limited, so the potential for additions to the stock of nutrients, especially of P and K, on a farm can be expected to decrease with time. After a period of net nutrient additions on a dairy farm, the quantity of nutrients that can be accommodated is controlled by the productivity of the animals, the management of the animal handling facilities, and the off-farm purchases of feeds and other materials for the animals. Field and biophysical-economic simulation studies have demonstrated that interactions between alternative management strategies and societal perspectives about water quality and the biological and economic performance of dairy farms may sometimes lead to unexpected outcomes. 98 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Laboratory animals; Cages; Animal welfare Abstract: The keeping of experimental animals requires housing systems appropriate to the needs and behaviour of each species, as demanded by various supranational and national guidelines. It is questionable whether conventional housing systems for rodents such as mice, rats and guinea-pigs meet this demand. It is suggested that the housing of laboratory rodents should be improved by the use of larger and more appropriate cage types, as well as by reducing the monotony of conventional housing systems. 99 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Uk; Laboratory animals; Breeders' associations Abstract: In 1982 the Medical Research Council decided to close the Laboratory Animal Centre (LAC) originally based at the MRC laboratories in Carshalton. This effectively brought to an end the originally LAC sponsored scheme for the voluntary accreditation of laboratory animal breeders. With the co-operation of the MRC a new scheme, which most Home Office registered breeders have now joined (LABAAS) was organised through a scientific working party under the auspices of the Laboratory Animal Breeders Association. Since 1982 additions and alterations have been made to the format of the manual, which sets out the working structure of the scheme. This paper outlines the current structure of LABAAS and indicates how constructive advice and criticism is helping to shape the future direction of the scheme. 109 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Training of animals; Acoustics; Animal behavior Abstract: The central question posed by this chapter is whether some physical properties of sound have consistent, species-independent effects on the response of an animal receiver. Research on professional animal trainers showed that trainers, of many linguistic and geographic backgrounds, used short, rapidly repeated broadband notes to stimulate motor activity and longer, continuous narrow-band notes to inhibit activity. Controlled tests on laboratory-raised domestic pups supported the hypothesis that short, rapidly repeated notes stimulate motor activity in domestic dogs (Canis familiaris). These studies are discussed in relation to the use of the same acoustic structures by nonhuman animals, and the hypothesis that some sounds are particularly effective in influencing the internal state and subsequent behavior of the mammals and birds who hear them. 118 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Beef cattle; Ultrasonic fat meters; Ultrasonography; Training courses; Fat thickness; Longissimus dorsi; Body fat; Ribs; Rump; Accuracy; Errors; Carcass composition Abstract: The establishment and evaluation of an assessment system to accredit sonographers for measuring the carcass traits of subcutaneous fat depths and longissimus muscle area (LMA) on potential breeding animals by real-time ultrasound is described. Repeatability of operators, variation between the animal's left and right sides, and variations in technique were assessed from measurements and repeat measurements of 30 cattle by up to eight operators at three testing sessions. Accuracy of carcass data was determined by repeatability of measurements, variability between measurers, between left and right sides of the carcass, and variation due to handling and dressing procedures. Correlations with carcass data averaged .92 for rump fat, .90 for rib fat, and .87 for LMA. Residual SD averaged .81 mm, .88 mm, and 5.1 cm2. A very experienced sonographer can measure LMA only marginally less accurately than it can be measured on the carcass. In Session 3, the SE between repeat fat measurements for accredited sonographers averaged .43 mm, indicating that fat depths can be measured more accurately, but when comparing measurements from different operators, adjustments may be required for differences in technique, otherwise overall accuracy will be about the same, approximately 1 mm. Scanned rump fat measurements were consistently approximately 20% higher than on the chilled, hanging carcass 24 h after slaughter; after applying the standard correction factor of 1.17, LMA measurements were similar. Scan and carcass rib fat measurements were similar for animals with less than or equal to 10 mm of fat cover, above which carcass measurements tended to be higher. 120 NAL Call.

Journal of animal science v. 70 (12): p. 4018-4035; 1992 Dec. Presented at a symposium entitled "Management Considerations in Heifer Development and Puberty," Laramie, WY. Literature review. Includes references. Language: English Descriptors: Heifers; Beef cows; Puberty; Age; Reproductive performance; Weaning weight; Crossbreds; Nutritional state; Progestogens; Literature reviews Abstract: Management of replacement beef heifers should focus on factors that enhance physiological processes that promote puberty. Age at puberty is important as a production trait when heifers are bred to calve as 2-yr-olds and in systems that impose restricted breeding periods. Calving by 24 mo of age is necessary to obtain maximum lifetime productivity. Because the reproductive system is the last major organ system to mature, factors that influence puberty are critical. The influence of environment on the sequence of events leading to puberty in the heifer is dictated largely by the nutritional status of the animal and related effects on growth rate and development. Management strategies have been designed to ensure that heifers reach a prebreeding target weight that supports optimum reproductive performance, and consequences of inadequate or excessive development have been evaluated. Those strategies are based on evidence linking postweaning nutritional development with key reproductive events that include age at puberty and first breeding, conception, pregnancy loss, incidence and severity of dystocia, and postpartum interval to estrus. Management alternatives that ultimately affect lifetime productivity and reproductive performance of heifers begin at birth and include decisions that involve growth-promoting implants, creep-feeding, breed type and(or) species, birth date and weaning weight, social interaction, sire selection, and exogenous hormonal treatments to synchronize or induce estrus. Basic and applied future research efforts should converge to match in a realistic manner the production potential of the animal with available resources. Strategies that incorporate consideration of nutrition, genetics, and emerging management techniques will need to be tested to enable producers to make decisions that result in profit. This review evaluates the current status of knowledge relating to management of the replacement beef heifer and serves to stimulate research need 122 NAL Call.

Preference tests give a good first indication of how animals feel and are therefore extremely valuable in animal welfare studies. Methods of overcoming the shortcomings of preference tests are discussed. In order that the results from preference tests be interpreted properly, they should be followed up with appropriate tests to measure the strength of preference. Examples of research in this area that have focused on poultry are given. 123 NAL Call. No.: QL55.A1I43 A medical ethics primer. Robb, J.W.

Some techniques were developed primarily for use in research; others were developed in response to problems of practical livestock production but have proven useful in research as well. Embryo micromanipulation procedures are used often in conjunction with embryo transfer, and interest in these procedures was stimulated by growth of the embryo transfer industry. Included in this review are discussions of procedures for manipulation of gametes and embryos, including sperm injection into oocytes, pronuclear and nuclear transfer, embryo biopsy and splitting, experimental chimera production and isolation of embryonic stem cells. 126 NAL Call.

Animal behaviour v. 43 (pt.6): p. 1021-1033; 1992 Jun. Includes references. Language: English Descriptors: Chicks; Fearfulness; Behavior modification; Handling; Environment; Enrichment; Animal welfare Abstract: Although its adaptive properties are recognized, fear can harm the welfare and performance of intensively housed poultry. Its alleviation in individually caged domestic chicks via the independent or integrated application of regular handling and environmental enrichment regimes was investigated. The test situations incorporated varying degrees of exposure to novel, inanimate stimuli and of human involvement. Enrichment reduced freezing and avoidance of a novel object introduced into the home cage, accelerated emergence from a sheltered area into an exposed unfamiliar one and increased vocalization, ambulation and pecking in an open field or novel environment. It also reduced the chicks' avoidance of a nearby, visible experimenter and attenuated their tonic immobility reaction to manual restraint. Such wide-ranging effects suggest that environmental enrichment may have modified general, non-specific fearfulness. Regular handling also attenuated the chicks' tonic immobility responses and their avoidance of the experimenter but it exerted few other detectable effects and there was no demonstrable effect of handling in the presence of enrichment. These findings are consistent with the suggestion that repeated gentle handling may exert its strongest influence by facilitating habituation to human beings rather than by, reducing underlying fearfulness. The implications of reduced fearfulness and other potential benefits of handling and enrichment procedures are discussed. 128 NAL Call.

London : Royal Society of Medicine Services; 1993 Apr. Laboratory animals v. 27 (2): p. 156-160; 1993 Apr. Includes references. Language: English Descriptors: Mice; Cage density Abstract: The Laboratory Animal Breeders Association guidelines recommend a minimum floor area of 300 cm2 for a monogamous pair of inbred/outbred mice or a trio of inbreds. The mean level of ammonia produced during lactation from BALB/c, TO and CD-1 breeding pairs housed in M2 cages with a floor area of 300 cm2 on Day 4 after cleaning was 30 ppm, 87 ppm and 92 ppm, respectively. All 3 strains of mice, particularly the outbred strains, were subjected to high levels of ammonia as compared with human long-term health and safety occupational exposure limits (25 ppm). However, there is a gradient of ammonia within an M2 breeding cage from the nest (19 ppm), to the food hopper, 77 ppm. By housing CD-1 pairs of mice in RM2 cages which have more than double the floor area of M2 cages (676 cm2), the mean level of ammonia during lactation on Day 4 after cleaning was reduced to 26 ppm. The reproductive performance on inbred/outbred strains of mice has to be equated with cage size (floor area) to maintain acceptable levels of ammonia. It is suggested that the recommended minimum floor areas for breeding mice be reviewed. 130 NAL Call. No.: QA76.8.I2594M8 Muscle physiology experiments on skeletal muscle a computer simulation..

Language: English Descriptors: Livestock; Poisoning; Poisonous weeds; Senecio; Astragalus; Oxytropis; Plant composition; Phytotoxins; Toxicity; Weed palatability; Pyrrolizidine alkaloids Abstract: A complex relationship exists between the presence of toxins in a plant species and the palatability of that plant. The nature of the toxin and its concentration within the plant can generally be precisely defined, given a reasonable amount of research commitment, but the measurement of palatability, especially in livestock, is much more difficult to achieve. We hypothesize that analysis of possible roles of toxins in plants, their metabolic activity in animals, and physical and temporal distribution within the plant can be used to examine whether or not such compounds may significantly increase or reduce palatability to mammalian herbivores. Thus, if the toxin is effective in preventing predation of the plant or plant part by insect herbivores, or if it provides the plant with a competitive advantage versus other species, but does not produce adverse effects upon large mammals until significant quantities of biomass are consumed, then the toxin-palatability relationship is not significant. This concept is illustrated by examination of the toxicity produced in livestock by consumption of alkaloid-containing groundsel (Senecio) and locoweed (Astragalus and Oxytropis) species. The prevention of predation by localization of the toxin, mobilization to the site of attack, or production at a particular stage of growth provides opportunities for the application of management techniques designed to reduce exposure of livestock to natural plant toxicants. 139 NAL Call.

Laboratory animals v. 24 (3): p. 273-279; 1990 Jul. Includes references. Language: English Descriptors: Mice; Cage density; Growth rate Abstract: Home Office guidelines recommend an area of 60 cm2 per mouse for growing mice up to 30 g. However, the overall growth rate, and final adrenal weight of weanling BALB/c and MF1 strain mice was not affected by being housed at a density of down to 27 cm2 per mouse, though there was some evidence of strain differences in ability to tolerate such dense housing. The presence of cage accessories had no effect on growth rate of BALB/c and female mice, but reduced growth of MF1 and male mice, though the effect was small. It is concluded that present Home Office guidelines make a generous provision for the space requirements of growing laboratory mice, and that the use of cage accessories of varying design may be worth exploring in more detail. 140 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Agricultural education; Agribusiness; Poultry farming; Agriculturalresearch; Problem solving; College curriculum; Graduate study Abstract: The growth and maturation of the poultry industry has shifted some of the skills and competencies required of its employees. Additional training in problem solving and increased emphasis on human resources and management skills will be required in both graduate and undergraduate programs in poultry science. Exposure to contemporary issues and the processes whereby these are addressed will be valuable. Industry needs well-trained scientists for research and technical support in many disciplines but favored are individuals who have demonstrated inquisitiveness about and knowledge of how their discipline interacts with other facets of food animal production, and business management skills. To be most effective in future positions, graduates need greater awareness of the effects of global economies and the international technology base on the domestic poultry industry. Industry and academia must find new forums for the exchange of needs and must cooperate in training in order to develop the new leaders and managers who will sustain the dynamic growth of the poultry industry well into the twenty-first century. 142 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Feeds; Aflatoxins; Screening; Quality controls; Hplc; Immunochemistry; Mycotoxins; Elisa; Laboratory methods; Analytical methods; Literature reviews Abstract: Analysis of mycotoxins in feedstuffs is a difficult task because only trace amounts of the toxins are present in the sample. However, rapid progress in the area of mycotoxin analysis has been made during the last few years. Simplified sample cleanup protocols and new chromatographic methods, especially HPLC, have been developed. New, more sensitive and versatile instruments such as high-resolution mass spectrometry (MS) and gas chromatography/tandem MS/MS are coming to the market. After 15 yr of laboratory research, immunoassay techniques have gained more acceptance as analytical tools for mycotoxins. Several immunoassay kits for mycotoxins are currently available. The development of these new techniques and their application for monitoring various mycotoxins in foods and feeds are described in this review. 152 NAL Call.

Detection of estrus and proper timing of insemination remain as major problems limiting reproductive efficiency in dairy herds. Numerous programs for regulating estrous cycles have been examined in this review. While several programs appear promising, results remain variable and the need for accurate detection of estrus has not been eliminated. Nulliparous heifers seem to respond more consistently than lactating cows. Further research is required to develop a successful program that will consistently produce a precise synchrony of estrus and ovulation with normal fertility and be cost effective. 158 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Mares; Cows; Ultrasonography; Ovaries; Uterus; Graafian follicles; Imagery; Corpus luteum; Conceptus; Embryo mortality; Research; Literature reviews Abstract: In the short time that transrectal ultrasonic imaging of the reproductive tract has been used as a research tool, many discoveries have resulted, some of which would otherwise have escaped detection for many years. Ultrasonography provides a wide array of morphologic information without invading or disturbing the tissues. Examinations can be done repeatedly over many days, or a dynamic event (e.g., ovulation) can be monitored in its entirety by continuous observation (e.g., 30 min). Inclusion of ultrasonic examinations in experimental protocols affords the opportunity to associate changing morphology with hormonal and other functional changes. If experimental testing is expected to involve changing morphology, ultrasonic imaging should be considered. End points can be measured or ranked and therefore data can be statistically analyzed for conventional hypothesis testing. The research potential of this technology and its adaptability for computer-assisted assessment go far beyond simplistic determination of ovulation, luteal formation, and pregnancy diagnosis. It is the authors' opinion that ultrasonic imaging is a revolutionary advance in reproductive research that is destined to rival the impact of other technologic breakthroughs, including radioimmunoassay. 162 NAL Call.

Paper contributed to the Symposium on Quantifying the Behavior of Poultry. Includes references. Language: English Descriptors: Animal behavior; Activity sampling; Representative sampling; Measurement; Data analysis Abstract: Animals perform a continuous stream of behavior throughout their lives. Because their behavior is not random, appropriate sampling methods can be used to obtain data that accurately reflect the actual behavior and are valid for answering research questions. Answering questions related to several variables assists in narrowing the choices of sampling methods. First, a determination must be made of what behaviors to measure. If the behaviors are few and easily measured, then All Occurrences Sampling is the method of choice because it generates accurate frequency and duration data through continuous recording. Sequence and Sociometric Matrix Sampling are specialized types of All Occurrences Sampling that are restricted to sampling intra- or interindividual sequences and social interactions (e.g., agonistic), respectively. Second, if who (e.g., specific individual, sex, or genotype) performs the behavior is a major component of the research question, then should be given to Focal Animal (Pair, Group) Sampling. Third, if when or where the behavior is performed is of interest (e.g., activity budget), then Instantaneous or Scan Sampling can often be effective. Ad libitum Sampling does not produce valid data for analyses, but it is useful when formulating and fine-tuning research questions. One-Zero Sampling is not recommended except when the research question relates to the presence or absence of behaviors only. Other factors to consider in selecting a sampling method are duration of the behavior (event or state), desired scale of measurement (nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio), and logistics (e.g., time, and equipment and facilities available). 170 NAL Call.

Laboratory animals v. 26 (4): p. 256-267; 1992 Oct. Includes references. Language: English Descriptors: Laboratory animals; Animal experiments; Experimental design Abstract: The factors which need to be taken into account in designing a 'good' experiment are reviewed. Such an experiment should be unbiased, have high precision, a wide range of applicability, it should be simple, and there should be a means of quantifying uncertainty (Cox 1958). The relative precision due to the use of randomized block designs was found to range from 96% to 543% in 5 experiments involving 30 variables. However, a survey of 78 papers published in two toxicology journals showed that such designs were hardly used. Similarly, designs in which more than one factor was varied simultaneously ('factorial designs') were only used in 9% of studies, though interactions between variables such as dose and strain of animal may be common, so that single factor experiments could be misleading. The consequences of increased within-group variability due to infection and genetic segregation were quantified using data published by Gartner (1990). Both substantially reduced precision, but toxicologists continue to use non-isogenic laboratory animals, leading to experiments with a lower level of precision than is necessary. It is concluded that there is scope for improving the design of animal experiments, which could lead to a reduction in animal use. People using animals should be required to take formal training courses which include sessions on experimental design in order to minimize animal use and to increase experimental efficiency. 171 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Pigs; Folic acid; Sow reproduction; Pregnancy; Litter size; Feed additives Abstract: The administration of supplemental folic acid to female reproducing swine (either via injection or dietary supplementation) is a fairly recent research phenomenon. The majority of publications have occurred during the past 5 yr; few publications on this topic appeared before 1983. Although folic acid supplementation is a young research area compared to that involving many other vitamins, the reported results are quite consistent. There seem to be no major benefits to lactational supplementation; although supplementation in lactation is effective in elevating sow serum folate, milk folate, and nursing pig serum folate, it has not produced changes in sow BW, litter size weaned, or pig gain. Supplementation during gestation has yielded a consistent benefit: a positive response in total pigs born in all studies. The response in gestation of increased litter size seems to be a result of improved embryo or fetal survival rather than increased ovulation, although the mechanism whereby survival rate is improved is yet to be understood. Clearly, supplemental folic acid is required to maximize sow prolificacy. 182 NAL Call. No.: aHV4762.A3A64 Surveillance of animal care and use in Canada. Michener, G.R.

Language: English Descriptors: Macaca mulatta; Blood sampling; Training of animals Abstract: A training technique is described for ensuring the active cooperation of adult male rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) during in-homecage venipuncture. Five single-housed and 10 pair-housed males (average age 8 years) were the subjects of the study. On average, 13 training sessions (range 2-26) were necessary to get a male to voluntarily present a leg in a specially designed opening of the door and to display no resistance during venipuncture. Total time spent with a male until he presented a leg ranged from 16 to 74 minutes, with an average of 40 minutes. Neither the trainer nor the animals received any injuries during the training. Once trained, all males cooperated during in-homecage venipuncture not only with the trainer but also with the attending caretakers. One to two minutes were required to draw a blood sample. It was concluded that training adult male rhesus monkeys to actively cooperate during in-homecage venipuncture increases the scientific value of research by reducing undue distress reactions associated with immobilization. Since the animals cooperate rather than resist, in-homecage venipuncture also minimizes the risk of injury. 195 NAL Call. No.: QL55.A1L33 Training by microchip in the animal facility. Miller, L.

The monkeys are given food rewards in return for defecation in single holding cages. They also are trained to extend their leg through a modified sqeeze cage for unanesthetized bleeding from the saphenous vein. Once the acclimation is completed, the animals are shown to be relaxed during the procedure. One adult female continued to nurse her neonate infant through the venipuncture. This behavior modification is intended to reduce stress and increase safety for the animals and the technicians.

Language: English Descriptors: Canada; Technical training; Veterinary education; Technicians; Veterinarians; Research workers; Laboratory animals Abstract: Education of technicians, investigators and laboratory animal veterinarians is a matter of increasing concern in Canada. Three basic training models exist for technicians: full-time college programs, in-house courses and a cooperative venture involving a community college (St. Lawrence, Kingston) and participating laboratory animal facilities coast-to-coast across Canada. CALAS/ACTAL maintains a technician registry. Training of investigators is all done currently in-house. In some universities, this training is mandatory. The CCAC syllabus provides guidelines for such training courses. Currently there is not a registry for investigators. There are limited opportunities in Canada for postdoctoral training in laboratory animal medicine for veterinarians. The situation is under review by CALAM which is conducting a needs assessment. Canadian laboratory animal veterinarians seeking recognition for specialised training must do so currently by writing to the Board examination of the American College of Laboratory Animal Medicine (ACLAM). 198 NAL Call.

Literature review. Includes references. Language: English Descriptors: Livestock; Transgenics; Genetic engineering; Dna; Species differences; Research projects; Mice; Literature reviews Abstract: The notion of directly introducing new genes or otherwise manipulating the genotype of an animal is conceptually straightforward and appealing from the standpoints of both speed and precision with which phenotypic changes can be made. Thus, it is little wonder that the imagination of many animal scientists has been captivated by the success others have achieved in introducing foreign genes into mice. Transgenic mice not only exhibit unique phenotypes, but they also pass those traits on to their progeny. However, before transgenic farm animals become a common component of the livestock industry, a number of formidable obstacles must be overcome. In this review we attempt to identify the critical issues that should be considered by both those currently working in the field and those scientists considering the feasibility of initiating a transgenic livestock project. The inefficiency of producing transgenic animals has been well documented. This does not constrain investigators using laboratory animal models, but it has a major impact of applying transgenic technology to farm animals. The molecular mechanisms of transgene integration have not been elucidated, and as a consequence it is difficult to design strategies to improve the efficiency of the process. In addition to the problems associated with integration of new genes, there are inefficiencies associated with collecting and culturing fertilized eggs as well as embryo transfer in farm animals. Transgenic farm animal studies are major logistical undertakings. Even in the face of these practical hindrances, some may be pressured by administrators to embrace this new technology. As powerful as the transgenic animal model system is, currently there are limits to the kinds of agricultural questions that can be addressed. Some uses are so appealing, however, that several commercial organizations have explored this technology. Within the next decade or two, it is likely that many of the technical hurdles will be overc 203 NAL Call. No.: QL55.A1L33 A transitional model for microvascular training: rodent carcasses.

Language: English Descriptors: Macaca mulatta; Transport of animals; Training of animals Abstract: Caged rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) were trained to voluntarily enter a transport cage in an attempt to avoid undue distress reactions jeopardizing the validity of research data collected from such subjects. The training program required no extra technical equipment such as cage-squeeze-backs. Patience, gentleness, firmness and a good understanding of the animals were qualities of the animal care personnel ensuring the monkeys' willingness to cooperate. Of 341 trained adult rhesus macaques tested in the course of a routine weighing procedure, 87.4% (298/341) entered the transport cage promptly. Of the animals that were uncooperative, the majority entered the transport cage after encouragement (18/43) or after being prodded with a stick for no longer than 30 seconds (23/43). Only 2 subjects (0.6% of 341) stubbornly refused to leave their home cage and had to be chemically immobilized before they could be removed. Neither cage location (165 animals in lower-row cages, 176 animals in upper-row cages), sex (237 females, 104 males) or housing condition (67 single-housed animals, 274 pair-housed animals) had a noticeable impact on the animals' cooperativeness during the catching procedure. It was concluded that the time investment in the initial training quickly paid off in predictably swift catching of caged subjects that were not unduly distressed when entering the transport cage. 205 NAL Call.

To assess the feasibility of in utero blood sampling, we performed ultrasound-guided cardiac sampling of 50 fetuses in 16 New Zealand White does on days 26 and 27 of gestation. The overall rate of successful sampling was 80%. The procedure-related mortality declined to 35% by the third phase of the study. The mean (+/- SD) hematocrit (%) and reticulocyte values ( 100 RBCs) on day 26 were 26.3 +/- 3.3 and 35.6 +/- 5.1, respectively; values on day 27 were 31.3 +/- 4.9 and 27.5 +/- 7.6. The results of this study suggest that hematologic data can be obtained from rabbit fetuses in the majority of cases with only moderate fetal loss. 209 NAL Call.

Stoneham, Mass. : Butterworth-Heinemann; 1993 Mar. Theriogenology v. 39 (3): p. 691-701; 1993 Mar. Includes references. Language: English Descriptors: Cows; Ultrasonography; Cannulation; Sampling Abstract: The accuracy of real-time, B-mode ultrasonography was assessed in the visualization and placement of the cannula tip, cranial to the entrance of the ovarian veins as they enter the caudal vena cava of the bovine. A cannula containing a wire guide was introduced into the coccygeal vein via a 14-gauge needle, and was then directed cranially into the caudal vena cava. Once the caudal vena cava was successfully cannulated (7 of 14 cows), ultrasonography allowed for the visualization of the cannula in 7 out of 7 cows. The tip of the cannnula was successfully placed cranial to the entrance of the ovarian effluent into the vena cava in 6 of these 7 animals using ultrasound guidance. This was confirmed using progesterone or prostaglandin F2 alpha radioimmunoassay (RIA). The primary limitation to this technique was the initial catherization of the coccygeal vein which was not achieved in 7 of 14 cows attempted in this study. Successful cannulation was limited to large framed Holstein cows that had at least one calf. Results from this study indicate that real-time, B-mode, ultrasonography is an effective tool for the visualization and accurate placement of the cannula tip within the caudal vena cava. This finding could have implications for research in ovarian hormonal physiology in the cyclic, postpartum or anestrous cow. 210 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Guinea pigs; Cage size; Group size; Clustering; Animal welfare; Space requirements; Spatial distribution; Diurnal activity; Nocturnal activity Abstract: Cage space requirements for laboratory animals have been established by Government Regulation and Recommendations. In order to test the adequacy of these space allocations, the use of cage floor area by breeding groups of guineapigs was studied. A computer-coupled video tracking system capable of imaging in low light intensity as well as total darkness was used to determine the average per cent occupancy by guineapigs in all portions of a cage over 12-h light and dark cycles. Simultaneous time synchronized slow motion video recordings permitted an analysis of activity to be coordinated with cage use data. Results of the study revealed that breeding groups of guineapigs utilize the periphery of the cage almost to the total exclusion of the centre of the cage. Approximately 75-85% of an occupancy in both the day and evening hours occurred in 47% of the cage floor area located along the periphery. Analysis of video recordings revealed that the animals remained active throughout the day and night with no prolonged period of quiescence that could be associated with sleep. Results of this study suggest that while guidelines for housing guineapigs based on area allocation per animal can be formulated and are easy to administer, they cannot be supported by the behavioural characteristics of these animals or careful quantitation of their pattern of cage space utilization. 214 NAL Call.
