Sperm sex-sorting in the Asian elephant (Elephas maximus)
Animal Reproduction Science, 2009In captive Asian elephants, there is a strong need for production of female offspring to enhance reproduction, counter premature aging processes in female animals and reduce challenging management situations derived from husbandry of several bulls in one institution.

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.

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 ...

Biochemical Studies on the Blood of Indian Elephants (Elephas maximus)
Research in Veterinary Science, 1969Summary Glucose, chloride, inorganic phosphate, cholesterol, calcium and magnesium levels have been determined in the blood of baby elephants, tuskers and adult non-lactating and lactating female elephants (Elephas maximus) so as to derive physiological norms for these constituents and to assess the influence of age, sex and lactation.

Medetomidine a novel immobilizing agent for the elephant (Elephas maximus)
Research in Veterinary Science, 2002Medetomidine was injected by the intramuscular route at the rates of 3 and 5 microg/kg body weight into two groups of Indian elephants (Elephas maximus). Sedation was induced at 6.20 (0.81) and 5.90 (0.60) min respectively after injection. The duration of anaesthesia was 66.20 (10.4) and 134.20 (24.12) min, respectively and recovery occurred at 125.80 (

Successful cryopreservation of Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) spermatozoa
Animal Reproduction Science, 2009Reproduction in captive elephants is low and infant mortality is high, collectively leading to possible population extinction. Artificial insemination was developed a decade ago; however, it relies on fresh-chilled semen from just a handful of bulls with inconsistent sperm quality.

Relative quantity judgment by Asian elephants (Elephas maximus)
Animal Cognition, 2008This study investigated whether Asian elephants can make relative quantity judgment (RQJ), a dichotomous judgment of unequal quantities ordered in magnitude. In Experiment 1, elephants were simultaneously shown two baskets with differing quantities of bait (up to 6 items).

Ultrastructure of Spermatozoa of the Asiatic Elephnat (Elephas maximus)
Anatomia, Histologia, Embryologia, 1983AbstractA scanning and transmission electron microscopic study of semen collected with the aid of an artificial vagina was carried out. The ultrastructural characteristics of Asiatic bull elephants is compared with that of other mammalian species.
