  • 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.

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. If the written by an expert in the pet care industry and approved by a problem continues after reducing fresh food, see your exotic qualified exotic veterinarian pet veterinarian. the information on this care sheet is a basic overview and not a substitute for veterinary care.

  • 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.

  • Slaughter and Killing of Minority Farmed Species
    Charity Registered in England & Wales No 1159690 Charitable Incorporated Organisation Technical Note No 25 Slaughter and Killing of Minority Farmed Species Summary The last twenty years or so have seen many big changes in British agriculture. The livestock sector in particular has had to change radically to adapt to new legislation, stricter production standards set by the customer and changes to the subsidy system. Some livestock farmers have diversified into the rearing of species not indigenous to the UK: these include the Asian water buffalo, North American bison, ostrich, camelids and species that lived here in ancient times, such as wild boar. As with domestic livestock, these animals are bred and reared for various reasons, the main ones being milk, meat and wool or fibre production. When slaughtering or killing these animals, it is highly likely that the slaughterman and/or veterinary surgeon will be presented with a number of challenges not normally experienced with domesticated livestock. It is essential that careful planning and preparation takes place before any attempt is made to slaughter or kill these animals. Humane Slaughter Association The Old School. Brewhouse Hill Wheathampstead. Herts AL4 8AN, UK t 01582 831919 f: 01582 831414 e: [email protected] w: www.hsa.org.uk Registered in England Charity No 1159690 Charitable Incorporated Organisation www.hsa.org.uk What are the minority farmed species in the UK? For the purposes of this leaflet, they are deer, ostrich, wild boar, water buffalo, bison and camelids (alpaca and llama). These all present meat hygiene and slaughter staff with new challenges due to physical and behavioural differences compared to traditional domestic livestock (cattle, sheep, goats, pigs and horses).

Animals have different body coverings depending on what class they belong to: Mammals - fur or hair Birds - feathers Reptiles - dry scales Amphibians - moist, smooth skin Fish - wet, slimy scales 2. Animal coverings come in a variety of colors and patterns. 3. Colors and patterns protect animals by: -helping them blend into their surroundings (example: a tiger in tall grass). -making them look like something else (example: a walking stick insect). -warning others to stay away (example: skunk). 4. Animals bodies are different shapes and sizes. They don’t all have the same characteristics (example: number of legs, position of eyes and ears on head, tails, toes, etc.).

  • Guinea-Pig, Rabbit and Mink
    ATTACHMENT REACTION OF THE UTERINE LUMINAL EPITHELIUM AT IMPLANTATION: LIGHT AND ELECTRON MICROSCOPY OF THE HAMSTER, GUINEA-PIG, RABBIT AND MINK K. HEDLUND, O. NILSSON, S. REINIUS and G. AMAN Institute of Human Anatomy, S752 20 Uppsala, and Agricultural College, S 750 07 Uppsala, Sweden (Received 26th October 1971, accepted 4th November 1971) Close apposition of the mucous surfaces\p=m-\theattachment reaction\p=m-\occurson implantation in the mouse (Potts, 1966, 1968; Nilsson, 1967; Reinius, 1967; Potts & Psychoyos, 1967b) and the rat (Mayer, Nilsson & Reinius, 1967; Nilsson, 1967; Potts & Psychoyos, 1967a). Since both these species have an eccentric implantation, it seemed possible that the occurrence of the attachment reaction might be correlated with the type of implantation. The ultrastructure of the uterine surface epithelium was therefore examined at preimplantation and implantation in animals representative for different modes of implantation \p=m-\eccentric(the hamster), central (the rabbit and the mink) and interstitial (the guinea-pig). The animals were bred under standardized conditions. Mating of the animals was verified in the hamster and guinea-pig by the presence of vaginal sperm- atozoa (Day 1 of pregnancy) and in the rabbit and the mink by controlled mating. The preimplantation and implantation stages were obtained from the ham¬ ster on Day 4 (three animals) and Day 6 (four animals), from the guinea-pig on Day 4 (three animals) and Days 7 to 8 (four animals), from the rabbit 4 to 5 days (three animals) and 10 days (six animals) after mating, and from the mink 6 days (three animals) and 12 to 14 days (five animals) after double mating according to Hansson (1947).
