  • Guinea Pig Handout
    Introduction to Guinea Pig Care Canobie Lake Veterinary Hospital Guinea pigs are wonderful pets. They are relatively easy to care for and will return lots of love and affection. Caging Guinea pigs need a large enclosure that provides plenty of room for exercise. The larger the cage, the happier the pig! Choose an enclosure that is well ventilated with a solid floor that is easy to clean. Although glass aquariums and cages with solid plastic walls are easy to clean, they are not well ventilated and can make your pig susceptible to respiratory disease. Pigs kept on wire mesh flooring can develop sores on their feet. Shredded paper or recycled paper bedding are good choices for bedding. Wood shavings can harbor mites and can cause itchy skin. Carefresh (recycled paper bedding) and Eco-Bedding brand (looks like crinkled brown paper) are excellent choices. Your pig's bedding must be kept clean. Replace it as often as you can to avoid ammonia build up from urine. Usually every 3-4 days works well. Guinea pigs need a place to hide within their cage. Provide a "house" or box made of plastic (pet stores sell them) that your pig can retreat to when she wants to sleep or hide. A pig without a place to hide is continually stressed and more prone to become sick. Clean your pet's entire cage at least once weekly. If you can smell the cage (especially the urine), it is not clean enough. You can use a mild antibacterial soap to wash the cage. Rinse thoroughly with hot water.

  • Bison Literature Review Biology
    Bison Literature Review Ben Baldwin and Kody Menghini The purpose of this document is to compare the biology, ecology and basic behavior of cattle and bison for a management context. The literature related to bison is extensive and broad in scope covering the full continuum of domestication. The information incorporated in this review is focused on bison in more or less “wild” or free-ranging situations i.e.., not bison in close confinement or commercial production. While the scientific literature provides a solid basis for much of the basic biology and ecology, there is a wealth of information related to management implications and guidelines that is not captured. Much of the current information related to bison management, behavior (especially social organization) and practical knowledge is available through local experts, current research that has yet to be published, or popular literature. These sources, while harder to find and usually more localized in scope, provide crucial information pertaining to bison management. Biology Diet Composition Bison evolutional history provides the basis for many of the differences between bison and cattle. Bison due to their evolution in North America ecosystems are better adapted than introduced cattle, especially in grass dominated systems such as prairies. Many of these areas historically had relatively low quality forage. Bison are capable of more efficient digestion of low-quality forage then cattle (Peden et al. 1973; Plumb and Dodd 1993). Peden et al. (1973) also found that bison could consume greater quantities of low protein and poor quality forage then cattle. Bison and cattle have significant dietary overlap, but there are slight differences as well.

These contain more protein and calcium but are lower in fiber. Just like humans, guinea pigs are incapable of manufacturing vitamin C in their own bodies. Therefore, it is imperative that they receive supplemental vitamin C in their daily diet. Most guinea pig pellets contain vitamin C, however, be careful to use the pellet food within 90 days of the manufactured date. Because vitamin C is not very stable in food, Guinea pigs should also receive an additional guinea pig vitamin C supplement daily. FRESH FOODS: Healthy, fresh fruits and vegetables can also be fed to your Guinea pig. Offer these treats in small amounts, as they may cause digestive upset. Broccoli tops, LIFE SPAN: up to 8 years carrots, green beans, sweet peppers, parsley, dandelion AVERAGE SIZESIZE: 8-11 inches long greens, apples and pears are good choices. Fresh foods that contain good amounts of vitamin C for your guinea pig are: orange slices, cabbage, kale, sweet peppers and spinach. If you find that your guinea pig develops loose stools or diarrhea, you are probably feeding too much fresh food.

The MHC class I region plex (MHC) class I genes isolated from a range of equid varies in size and complexity between mammalian spe- species and more distantly related members of the mam- cies, most probably due to frequent expansions and con- malian order Perissodactyla.

In all examples studied to date genes and alleles that are found in equid species and one (mostly primate and rodent), between one and three group specific to the rhinoceros. Four of the groups con- genes are expressed and have antigen presenting func- tained only one, or very few sequences, indicating the tion—the classical class I, or class Ia, genes.

  • Peruvian Yellow-Tailed Woolly Monkey Oreonax Flavicauda (Humboldt, 1812) Peru (2000, 2006, 2008)
    Peruvian Yellow-tailed Woolly Monkey Oreonax flavicauda (Humboldt, 1812) Peru (2000, 2006, 2008) Fanny M. Cornejo, Anneke M. DeLuycker, Heidi Quintana, Victor Pacheco & Eckhard W. Heymann The taxonomy of the yellow-tailed woolly monkey has been a matter of some discussion. First described as Simia flavicauda by Humboldt in 1812, it was again described by Thomas (1927a) as Lagothrix (Oreonax) hendeii a century later. Later in the same year, after receiving a new juvenile specimen, Thomas (1927b) elevated the subgenus Oreonax to full generic status. In his revision of the woolly monkeys, Fooden (1963) found that S. flavicauda and O. hendeii were actually the same species and very closed related to Lagothrix, and he thus named it Lagothrix flavicauda. Groves (2001) revised some available skulls and found it more closely related to Ateles, and consequently separated flavicauda from Lagothrix, and revived Thomas’ old genus Oreonax. Most recently, Matthews and Rosenberger (2008a, 2008b) revised Groves’ work and found evidence for a “misclassification because a heuristic measure of statistical support has without taking into account current deforested areas been misconstrued as a biological and phylogenetic and human settlements, to be 41,446 km2. In 1981, it characteristic”, and therefore argued against the was estimated that the potential forested habitat was validity of Oreonax as a genus. A more comprehensive at least 11,240 km2 and it was predicted that at least reassessment of the systematics of Lagothrix is still 1,600 km2 would be deforested for agriculture by 1991 needed, using a wider set of characters and samples, (Leo Luna 1984).

  • Why Game Meats?
    Mount Royal USA Product Guide 713-862-1800 Why Game Meats? Venison and other farm raised game meats are fast becoming a popular option for chefs seeking healthy, convenient, and versatile flavors. Game meats are low in fat/cholesterol and high in proteins. All animals are grazed on pastures and fed supplemental feed which contains no steroids, antibiotics, or hormones. The products therefore are 100% natural. Venison The gamey flavor often associated with venison (and other game meats) is not noticeable in farm raised products. The reason for this is quite simple. Wild animals rely on berries or whatever they can find for food and then are stressed or “hunted” before killing. The diet of the animals and the adrenaline which gets pumped into their system before being killed affects the taste of the meat. An animal which has been fed a specific diet and is killed under different conditions will naturally have a slightly different taste which results in a less “gamey” type of flavor. Venison from Mount Royal is farm raised in New Zealand on lush pastures and exported under the Cervena label to insure maximum tenderness and consistency in processing. VENISON PRODUCTS NAME Venison Racks GB7065 Denver leg GB7075 Striploin GB7880 Boneless GB7415 Shoulder Stew GB7440 Venison Ground GB7085 Elk Racks GB7090 Tenderloin GB7080 Venison Flank GB7420 Bone In Saddle GB7435 Ven trim GB7455 Elk trim GB7475 Osso Bucco GB7445 Elk Striploin GB7095 Elk Ground GB7476 Venison Bones GB7460 Ostrich Ostrich is similar in taste to beef and with a texture similar to venison. Protein content is also like beef, but the meat has less cholesterol, less fat and fewer calories than beef, chicken, or turkey.

  • Morphological and Histochemical Study of Guinea Pig Duodenal Submucosal Glands
    Bulgarian Journal of Veterinary Medicine (2011), 14 , N o 4, 201 −208 MORPHOLOGICAL AND HISTOCHEMICAL STUDY OF GUINEA PIG DUODENAL SUBMUCOSAL GLANDS A. A. MOHAMMADPOUR Department of Basic Sciences, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Mashhad, Iran Summary Mohammadpour, A. A., 2011. Morphological and histochemical study of guinea pig duode- nal submucosal glands. Bulg. J. Vet. Med. , 14 , No 4, 201 −208. The duodenum is largely responsible for the breakdown of food in the small intestine, using enzymes. Duodenal submucosal glands, which in general produce a mucous secretion, exist in all mammalian species. These glands are located in the submucosa of the proximal duodenum. The study aimed to demonstrate the morphological and histochemical properties of duodenum and duodenal submucosal glands in the small intestine of the guinea pig. The duodenum of 10 adult healthy animals constituted the material of the study. After dissecting them, three parts of duodenum (cranial, descending and ascending parts) were determined. For histological studies, after tissue preparation, duodenal tissue layers and duodenal submucosal glands in tunica submucosa were measured using the micrometre method. All parameters between the three parts of duodenum were analysed and compared using the ANOVA test. We concluded that duodenal wall thickness was variable in the three parts. It decreased from the cranial (1306.81±132.80 µm) to the ascending part (1026.92±80.01 µm) and in the cranial part was very distinctive. Duodenal or Brunner’s glands were composed of only mucous acini densely packed within the submucosa. The glands were well developed in the cranial part of duodenum.

  • Tapir Tracks Dear Educator
    TAPIR TRACKS A Curriculum Guide for Educators 2 Tapir Tracks Dear Educator, Welcome to Tapir Tracks! This curriculum was created for classroom teachers and educators at zoos and other nonformal science learning centers to enable you and your students to discover tapirs of the Americas and Asia. Because tapirs spread seeds from the fruits they eat, these little-known mammals are essential to the health of the forests they inhabit. However, tapir populations are rapidly declining. Loss of their habitat and hunting threaten tapir survival. An international team of scientists and conservationists works to study wild tapirs, manage the zoo-based population, protect habitat, and educate local communities. We collaborate through the Tapir Specialist Group, of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Species Survival Commission. This packet includes background information along with lesson plans and activities that can easily be adapted for kindergarten, elementary and secondary school students (grades K-12). An online link is included for you to download images and videos to use in your teaching: http://tapirs.org/resources/educator-resources. This toolkit is designed to enable you to meet curriculum requirements in multiple subjects. Students can explore the world’s tapirs through science, environmental studies, technology, social studies, geography, the arts and creative writing activities. We hope that by discovering tapirs through these lessons and engaging activities that students will care and take action to protect tapirs
