The Asian Wapiti (Cervus elaphus)

Journal of Northeast Forestry University, 1996
The authors visited some deer farms in Northeastern China in 1991 and 1993. The seven subspecies of Asian Wapiti (Cervus elaphus) were detected by observing the animal’s appearance and analyzing the video information. The status of taxonomy research in China was also discussed.

Freemartinism in red deer (Cervus elaphus L.)

Cytogenetics and Cell Genetics, 2008
Several mixed-sex twins were produced by red deer treated with progesterone and pregnant mare’s serum gonadotrophin. Of seven females karyotyped, two were 68, XX/68, XY chimeras. One male had the same chimeric karyotype as its female co-twin. These are the first reported cases of freemartinism in deer.

Serum constituents of red deer (Cervus elaphus)

Research in Veterinary Science, 1980
The concentrations of proteins, total bilirubin, calcium and inorganic phosphate and the activities of some enzymes were measured in the sera from 49 red deer. The results were analysed with respect to age, season and sex.

Transfer of bovine microsatellites to the cervine (Cervus elaphus)

Animal Genetics, 1996
SummaryBovine microsatellites were used to amplify DNA of red deer (Cervus elaphus). Fourteen of 27 bovine systems (52%) displayed polymorphism, while no (CA)n‐repeat was detected in seven systems and six systems gave no amplificates in red deer. The allele number ranged from 2 to 7, the polymorphism information content between 0.24 and 0.76.

Tuberculosis in imported red deer (Cervus elaphus)

Veterinary Record, 1988
An outbreak of tuberculosis due to Mycobacterium bovis in farmed red deer imported from an eastern European country is described. Twenty-six of the 106 deer examined at autopsy were found to be infected and 19 had visible lesions of tuberculosis. Single comparative intradermal tuberculin tests on 51 deer showed that the test had a specificity of 61.3 ...

Pharmacokinetics of oxfendazole in red deer (Cervus elaphus)

Research in Veterinary Science, 1985
The pharmacokinetics of oxfendazole (OFZ) in red deer (Cervus elaphus) was examined. OFZ, administered per os at 4.53 mg kg-1, was extracted in ether from plasma and identified and concentrations estimated by high pressure liquid chromatography. Irrespective of whether the animals were fed concentrates indoors as pellets or grass while on pasture, OFZ ...

Conservation of Cervus elaphus meat in modified atmospheres

Meat Science, 2003
This study examines the effect of three types of modified atmospheres, each with a different gas composition (A:40% CO(2)+60% N(2); B:80% CO(2)+20% O(2); C:80% CO(2)+20% N(2)), on the development of meat quality of Cervus elaphus in order to suggest a gas composition that best preserves this type of meat.

Cryptosporidiosis in newborn red deer (Cervus elaphus)

Veterinary Record, 1992
Red deer calves dying at 24 to 72 hours old were infected with cryptosporidia. The clinical signs were extreme depression and weakness, but they did not consistently have diarrhoea. One calf was severely uraemic, and evidence from subsequent cases suggested that cryptosporidium infection in very young red deer calves may result in terminal uraemia. The

The gestation length of wapiti (Cervus elaphus) revisited

Animal Reproduction Science, 2001
As an ancillary activity to an artificial insemination program in farmed wapiti, the length of gestation of 28 wapiti hinds that delivered single calves of established parentage was calculated. Estrus was synchronized in 47 wapiti using progesterone impregnated devices (controlled internal drug release, CIDR) and an injection of PMSG.
