  • Regeneration of the Digestive Tract of an Anterior-Eviscerating Sea
    Okada and Kondo Zoological Letters (2019) 5:21 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40851-019-0133-3 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Regeneration of the digestive tract of an anterior-eviscerating sea cucumber, Eupentacta quinquesemita, and the involvement of mesenchymal–epithelial transition in digestive tube formation Akari Okada1 and Mariko Kondo1,2,3* Abstract Sea cucumbers (a class of echinoderms) exhibit a high capacity for regeneration, such that, following ejection of inner organs in a process called evisceration, the lost organs regenerate. There are two ways by which evisceration occurs in sea cucmber species: from the mouth (anterior) or the anus (posterior). Intriguingly, regenerating tissues are formed at both the anterior and posterior regions and extend toward the opposite ends, and merge to form a complete digestive tract. From the posterior side, the digestive tube regenerates extending a continuous tube from the cloaca, which remains at evisceration. In posteriorly-eviscerating species, the esophagus remains in the body, and a new tube regenerates continuously from it. However, in anterior-eviscerating species, no tubular tissue remains in the anterior region, raising the question of how the new digestive tube forms in the anterior regenerate. We addressed this question by detailed histological observations of the regenerating anterior digestive tract in a small sea cucumber, Eupentacta quinquesemita (“ishiko” in Japanese) after induced-evisceration. We found that an initial rudiment consisting of mesenchymal cells is formed along the edge of the anterior mesentery from the anterior end, and then, among the mesenchymal cells, multiple clusters of epithelial-like cells appears simultaneously and repeatedly in the extending region by mesenchymal–epithelial transition (MET) as visulalized using toluidine blue staining.

  • Induction of Evisceration in the Holothurian Eupentacta Quinquesemita and Evidence for the Existence of an Endogenous Evisceration Factor
    J. exp. Biol. 120, 25-39 (1986) 25 Printed in Great Britain © The Company of Biologists Limited 1986 INDUCTION OF EVISCERATION IN THE HOLOTHURIAN EUPENTACTA QUINQUESEMITA AND EVIDENCE FOR THE EXISTENCE OF AN ENDOGENOUS EVISCERATION FACTOR BY MARIA BYRNE* Department of Biology, University of Victoria, Victoria, B.C. Canada V8W2Y2 Accepted 12 August 1985 SUMMARY The stimuli provoking evisceration of Eupentacta quinquesemita (Selenka) and autotomy of isolated pharyngeal retractor muscle (PRM) tendons were investigated. Tendon autotomy is a two-part response involving PRM contraction and breakdown of tendon connective tissue. An evisceration factor (EF) was detected in coelomic fluid expelled during evisceration. EF was isolated in tissue extracts and the haemal system and peritoneum were sources of EF activity. Autotomy and evisceration were induced by electrical stimulation, K+ and EF, and the effect of these agents was inhibited by anaesthetics. The acetylcholine antagonist tubocurarine chloride elicited evisceration, suggesting that evisceration may involve inhibition of chol- inergic transmission. Evisceration and autotomy appear to be neurally controlled and the presence of an endogenous EF suggests neurosecretory or hormonal activity. Cells involved in evisceration may be located at a distance from the autotomy tissues and effect connective tissue breakdown through the medium of the coelomic fluid. Hypothetical sequences of events and possible roles for EF are presented. INTRODUCTION Evisceration is a behaviour characteristic of many holothurian echinoderms and results in autotomy of the internal organs (Emson & Wilkie, 1980). There are numerous behavioural studies of evisceration where the response was elicited by injection of chemicals into the coelom or by electrical stimulation (Pearse, 1909; Bertolini, 1932; Domantay, 1931; Kille, 1935; Dawbin, 1949; Bai, 1971; Jespersen & Lutzen, 1971; Tracey, 1972; Smith & Greenberg, 1973; Byrne, 1985a).

Nevertheless, having searched the scientific literature and summarised the main findings, this review can make the following statements: • Snares do not operate humanely, either as restraining or as killing traps • The mortality and morbidity of animals caught in snares is higher than with most other restraining traps, such as box traps • Snares are inherently indiscriminate and

An HSUS Report: The Welfare of Animals in the Pig Industry Abstract The discordance between the behavioral needs of pigs and the life afforded to those raised commercially for the meat industry has created many animal welfare problems. Methods of pig production have changed substantially over the last several decades, and industrialized confinement operations have largely overtaken small, diversified farms. Overcrowded in indoor, barren environments, pigs in commercial production facilities are offered little opportunity to display their full range of complex social, foraging, and exploratory behavior. Behavioral abnormalities, such as tail-biting and aggression, arise due to environmental and social deficiencies. Poor air quality and intensive confinement may lead to health problems, and the lack of individualized attention to each animal compromises their care. Handling and transport for slaughter are highly stressful procedures, and some pigs become so fatigued, injured, or sick that they become nonambulatory, unable to stand and walk on their own accord.

  • Animal Welfare Aspects in Respect of the Slaughter Or Killing of Pregnant Livestock Animals (Cattle, Pigs, Sheep, Goats, Horses)
    SCIENTIFIC OPINION ADOPTED: 5 April 2017 doi: 10.2903/j.efsa.2017.4782 Animal welfare aspects in respect of the slaughter or killing of pregnant livestock animals (cattle, pigs, sheep, goats, horses) EFSA Panel on Animal Health and Welfare (AHAW), Simon More, Dominique Bicout, Anette Botner, Andrew Butterworth, Paolo Calistri, Klaus Depner, Sandra Edwards, Bruno Garin-Bastuji, Margaret Good, Christian Gortazar Schmidt, Virginie Michel, Miguel Angel Miranda, Søren Saxmose Nielsen, Antonio Velarde, Hans-Hermann Thulke, Liisa Sihvonen, Hans Spoolder, Jan Arend Stegeman, Mohan Raj, Preben Willeberg, Denise Candiani and Christoph Winckler Abstract This scientific opinion addresses animal welfare aspects of slaughtering of livestock pregnant animals. Term of Reference (ToR) 1 requested assessment of the prevalence of animals slaughtered in a critical developmental stage of gestation when the livestock fetuses might experience negative affect. Limited data on European prevalence and related uncertainties necessitated a structured expert knowledge elicitation (EKE) exercise. Estimated median percentages of animals slaughtered in the last third of gestation are 3%, 1.5%, 0.5%, 0.8% and 0.2% (dairy cows, beef cattle, pigs, sheep and goats, respectively). Pregnant animals may be sent for slaughter for health, welfare, management and economic reasons (ToR2); there are also reasons for farmers not knowing that animals sent for slaughter are pregnant. Measures to reduce the incidence are listed. ToR3 asked whether livestock fetuses can experience pain and other negative affect. The available literature was reviewed and, at a second multidisciplinary EKE meeting, judgements and uncertainty were elicited. It is concluded that livestock fetuses in the last third of gestation have the anatomical and neurophysiological structures required to experience negative affect (with 90–100% likelihood).
