UMBILICAL HERNIORRHAPHY IN A JUVENILE ASIAN ELEPHANT (ELEPHAS MAXIMUS)
Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2004An umbilical hernia was diagnosed in a 2-wk-old Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) by physical and ultrasonographic examinations. Umbilical herniorrhaphy was elected because the defect was large (approximately 7 cm long and 10 cm deep) and could potentially lead to incarceration of an intestinal loop.

Ultrasonographic Anatomy of the Asian Elephant (Elephas maximus) Eye
Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2010Bilateral transpalpebral ultrasonography was performed on 53 captive Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) in order to describe the normal ultrasonographic appearance and measurements of the Asian elephant eye. Transpalpebral ultrasonography was performed using a portable ultrasound unit and a 4-7-MHz broadband curvilinear transducer on animals housed at ...

Subclinical hypocalcaemia in captive Asian elephants ( Elephas maximus )
Veterinary Record, 2008The hypothesis that hypocalcaemia may play a role in dystocia in captive Asian elephants ( Elephas maximus ) was investigated. The objectives of the study were to measure the total calcium concentration in elephant plasma; assess the changes in parameters of calcium metabolism during a ...

The Renal Structure in an Asian Elephant (Elephas maximus)
Anatomia, Histologia, Embryologia, 2002SummaryThe renal structure of a female Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) was observed in both macroscopic and light microscopic levels. The left kidney was elongated‐ellipse in shape, whereas the right appeared round. The left kidney was 31 cm in cranio‐caudal length, 21 cm in medio‐lateral length, and 2950 g in weight.

Sedation of the Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) with xylazine
Veterinary Record, 1979Doses of 100 to 300 mg of a 10 per cent solution of xylazine satisfactorily sedated six elephants ranging from 150 to 255 cm shoulder height. At these dosages all animals were sedated in the standing position. The time taken to produce the initial signs of sedation ranged from 10 +/- 4 to 20 +/- 4 minutes and the effects lasted from 60 +/- 8 to 100 +/-

Composition and Nutrient Content of Elephant (Elephas maximus) Milk
Journal of Mammalogy, 1972Gross composition and nutrient content were determined for milk samples from four cows of a captive family of Indian elephants during the course of eight calvings at the Portland Zoo in Oregon. The milk had a lower concentration of fat than that frequently reported for this species and showed a unique fatty acid composition with respect to the large ...

Comparative hematology: Studies on elephants, Elephas maximus
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 1974Abstract 1. 1.Elephant blood clots rapidly and the clots retract only slightly. The partial thromboplastin time is faster than human and most coagulation factors are much higher when assayed in systems designed for human plasma. 2. 2.Thrombin time was long but antithrombin III was essentially absent. 3.
