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.

Assessment of pain in animals.
Bateson, P.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Abstract: Before implementing an environmental enrichment program for
nonhuman primates, several issues should be considered. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Abstract: Numerous advances in development of techniques for manipulating
mammalian embryos outside the maternal environment have been made over the
past decade. 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.

Modification of fear in domestic chicks, Gallus gallus domesticus, via regular

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.

Murine cage density: cage ammonia levels during the reproductive performance

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Abstract: Artificial insemination has allowed rapid genetic progress in dairy
cattle through the use of semen from genetically superior sires. 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.

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.

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).

The scope for improving the design of laboratory animal experiments.

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.

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.

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.

Abstract: This videotape shows the acclimation techniques to reduce stress
for corral-living rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) when collecting fecal and
blood samples. 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

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).

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

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.

Abstract: A rabbit animal model for hemolytic disease of the newborn has been
previously described. However, evaluating the effects of this disease was
limited to histologic and hematologic examinations of liveborn kitlings. 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.

Ultrasound-guided cannulation of the caudal vena cava in the bovine for
selective sampling of ovarian effluent.

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.

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.
