Water consumption and watering behavior of Przewalski horses (Equus ferus przewalskii) in a semireserve

Zoo Biology, 1998
Water consumption by 12 female Przewalski horses was automatically measured in a semireserve for 17 months. Average daily consumption on a yearly basis was between 2.4 and 8.3 liters, but significant individual variation in water consumption and drinking frequency was recorded throughout the observation period.

ACUTE PHASE PROTEINS AS A MARKER OF RESPIRATORY INFLAMMATION IN PRZEWALSKI'S HORSE (EQUUS FERUS PRZEWALSKII)

Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2016
Acute phase proteins are sensitive markers of inflammation, which are highly conserved across taxa. Although the utility of these proteins are becoming well defined in human and domestic animal medical fields, their role in nondomestic species remains unclear.

Reintroduction of Przewalski’s horse ( Equus ferus przewalskii ) in Xinjiang, China: The status and experience

Biological Conservation, 2014
Abstract Przewalski’s horse reintroductions to Xinjiang, China were initiated in 1985. Here, we present the first data on population development and current problems of the Przewalski’s horse in both captive and released populations in Xinjiang. From 1985 to 2005, a total of 24 captive Przewalski’s horses (14 males and 10 females) were brought from ...

CLINICAL DISEASE ASSOCIATED WITH ANAPLASMA PHAGOCYTOPHILUM INFECTION IN CAPTIVE PRZEWALSKI'S HORSES (EQUUS FERUS PRZEWALSKII)

Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2017
Anaplasma phagocytophilum is a tick-borne pathogen of domestic horses and the causative agent of equine granulocytic anaplasmosis. This case series describes three confirmed cases of clinical anaplasmosis, and a fourth case of presumptive anaplasmosis in Przewalski's horses ( Equus ferus przewalskii) housed at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology ...

A COMPARISON OF A SINGLE-DART VERSUS STAGED TWO-DART ANESTHESIA INDUCTION PROTOCOL IN PRZEWALSKI'S HORSES (EQUUS FERUS PRZEWALSKII)

Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2021
Przewalski's horses (Equus ferus przewalskii) are an endangered equid species. Anesthesia administered by remote delivery is often needed to provide medical care. Behavioral and physiologic parameters were prospectively compared in 14 horses (8 females and 6 males, 3-18 yr) after a single-dart or staged two-dart anesthesia induction protocol with ...

Oral and injectable synthetic progestagens effectively manipulate the estrous cycle in the Przewalski's horse (Equus ferus przewalskii)

Animal Reproduction Science, 2014
To date, there has been limited research on manipulation of the estrous cycle in endangered equids. The objectives of this study were to assess the efficacy of using combinations of: (a) oral altrenogest and PGF2α, and (b) injectable altrenogest and PGF2α for manipulation of ovarian activity in Przewalski's mares.

A comparative analysis of the acoustic structure of separation calls of Mongolian wild horses (Equus ferus przewalskii) and domestic horses (Equus caballus)

Journal of Veterinary Behavior, 2014
Abstract In equines, calls given by foals or mothers when they are seeking contact with each other or by stallions seeking contact with other group members could be classified as affiliative or separation calls when a reunion follows the vocalizations. To investigate how domestication can affect the characteristics of vocalizations produced by equines,

Decision‐Making in Przewalski Horses (Equus ferus przewalskii) is Driven by the Ecological Contexts of Collective Movements

Ethology, 2009
AbstractWe addressed decision‐making processes in the collective movements of two groups of Przewalski horses (Equus ferus przewalskii) living in a semi free‐ranging population. We investigated whether different patterns of group movement are related to certain ecological contexts (habitat use and group activity) and analysed the possible decision ...

Differences of movement pattern between Asiatic wild ass (Equus hemionus) and Przewalski’s horse (Equus ferus przewalskii)

2010
Analysing animal movement reveals how animals interact with their environment and is necessary to understand their foraging behaviour. Due to landscape heterogeneity, species differences, various resource selection and physical features animals show various movement tactics.
