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.

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.

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 +/-

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 ...

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.

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 (

Characterization of interdigital glands in the Asian elephant (Elephas maximus)
Research in Veterinary Science, 2001In the Asian elephant, wetness akin to perspiration is commonly observed on the cuticles and interdigital areas of the feet; this observation has lead to speculation regarding the existence of an interdigital gland. Our goal was to search for interdigital glands and characterise them morphologically, histochemically, and immunohistochemically. Necropsy
