Sources of Eustress in Captivity

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
Zoo environments foster enhanced animal welfare, integrated conservation, and improved population sustainability through the provision of eustressful factors (e.g., enrichment, social choice, positive human‐animal relationships), thus promoting cognitive challenge, improved resilience, and positive life experiences.

Classical and Non-Classical Compound Combinations for Treatment of Prostate Cancer Cell Line PC3

Proceedings
Prostate cancer is one of the leading causes of death among men. Our study focuses on seeking new compounds and combinations to diminish the severe side effects of classical anticancer drugs for treating this type of cancer.

Metagenome assembled rumen-uncultured genomes (RUGs)

, 2020
DNA was sequenced from rumen contents from cattle, sheep, red deer and reindeer. We constructed 391 metagenome assembled rumen-uncultured genomes (RUGs).Glendinning, Laura. (2019).

Feeding Practices and Welfare of Zoo‐Housed Giraffes (Giraffa camelopardalis) on a Global Scale

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
We collected feeding and stereotypy information on 702 giraffes from 146 zoos from all over the world. Less appropriate diets were linked to more oral stereotypies. ABSTRACT Since giraffe feeding practices have only been reported for European and US facilities, this study aimed to achieve a comprehensive overview of the current giraffe feeding ...

Simulation of the dynamics of protozoa in the rumen

, 1994
A modified mathematical model is described that simulates the dynamics of rumen micro-organisms, with specific emphasis on the rumen protozoa. The model is driven by continuous inputs of nutrients and consists of nineteen state variables, which represent

Impact of Two High‐Fiber Dietary Transitions on Fecal Consistency and Microbiota Composition in Captive Dromedary Camels (Camelus dromedarius) With Chronic Recurrent Diarrhea: A Pilot Study

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
High‐fiber dietary interventions reshaped the gut microbiota of captive dromedaries with chronic recurrent diarrhea, but responses varied among individuals. Despite taxonomic shifts, microbial metabolic functions remained remarkably stable, supporting the resilience of the dromedary gut ecosystem and the use of fiber‐based dietary management.

Rumen-protected rice bran to induce the adaptation of calcium metabolism in dairy cows [PDF]

, 2010
Dairy cows suffer from hypocalcaemia in the days around calving, which may result in a condition generally known as milk fever. Calcium metabolism sharply shifts at the start of lactation, because Ca needs suddenly become much greater than at the end of ...

Belowground effects of ground‐dwelling large herbivores in forest ecosystems

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study reviews how ground‐dwelling large herbivores affect forest soil and litter globally. Effects are context‐dependent, vary among species and forest types, and remain poorly studied in tropical forests, highlighting critical gaps in understanding nutrient cycling and ecosystem functioning.

Herbivore thermoregulation, movement behaviour and survival during a severe drought in Namibia

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Summary of behavioural and physiological responses of plains zebra (Equus quagga) and blue wildebeest (Connochaetes taurinus) during the cool drought, hot drought, and recovery periods in Etosha National Park, Namibia. Arrows illustrate relative changes in movement, while temperature diagrams depict seasonal variation in minimum (Tmin) and maximum ...

Development of an Intraruminal Controlled-Release Device [PDF]

, 2007
Slow-release devices retained in the rumen, are a simple method for continuous administration of bioactives to ruminant animals. To satisfy regulatory requirements and avoid waste of bioactive due to under- or over-dosing, it is advantageous to have a ...
