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.

But alpaca has, of course, been around for ages – it’s just that its superlative qualities have not beenA fully appreciated until this season. The springy, ultra-soft fibres from the underbellies and necks of a species of camelid living in the Andes make for some very special fabrics. When woven, alpaca takes on various textures, from soft and voluminous to coarse and cropped. And as lightweight fabrications and distinctive textures become defining characteristics of contemporary men’s style, it’s not surprising that alpaca is now being shepherded into a lead role. Brunello Cucinelli, who built his empire on cashmere, has also put alpaca to work beautifully in his signature unstructured tailored outerwear, such as a glen-check short coat (£3,760) and roomy one-and-a-half breasted camel- (£1,390) and bomber jackets (£1,060, colour coat (£3,890). Likewise at Canali, pictured below) in wool/alpaca/mohair/ where deconstructed drapey overcoats silk bouclé take inspiration from 1960s silhouettes, as does a single-breasted overcoat (£1,470) in a wool/alpaca blend. They pass muster at smart occasions, yet their subtle texture and soft construction mean they also work as weekend throw- ons. The highlight at Chester Barrie is a Change coat (£2,950, pictured below right), its navy cashmere contrasting Alpaca is ideal cable-knit turtleneck (£395) have with a lush black alpaca lapel (made by for upgrading a 1940s quality about them.

Surra Importance Surra, Caused by Trypanosoma Evansi, Is One of the Most Important Diseases of Animals in Tropical and Semitropical Regions
Surra Importance Surra, caused by Trypanosoma evansi, is one of the most important diseases of animals in tropical and semitropical regions. While surra is particularly serious in Murrina, Mal de Caderas, equids and camels, infections and clinical cases have been reported in most Derrengadera, Trypanosomosis, domesticated mammals and some wild species. T. evansi is transmitted mechanically El Debab, El Gafar, Tabourit by various tabanids and other flies, and it can readily become endemic when introduced into a new area. The morbidity and mortality rates in a population with no immunity can be high. In the early 1900s, an outbreak in Mauritius killed almost all Last Updated: September 2015 of the Equidae on the island. More recently, severe outbreaks have been reported in the Philippines, Indonesia and Vietnam. In addition to illness and deaths, surra causes economic losses from decreased productivity in working animals, reduced weight gain, decreased milk yield, reproductive losses and the cost of treatment. Etiology Surra is caused by the protozoal parasite Trypanosoma evansi. This organism belongs to the subgenus Trypanozoon and the Salivarian section of the genus Trypanosoma. Two genetic types of T. evansi, type A and type B, have been recognized. Most isolates worldwide belong to type A. Type B, which is not recognized by some diagnostic tests, has only been detected in parts of Africa as of 2015. Whether T. evansi should be considered a distinct species, separate from T. brucei, is controversial. Species Affected The principal hosts and reservoirs for T. evansi are reported to differ between regions; however, camels, equids, water buffalo and cattle are generally considered to be the major hosts among domesticated animals.

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.

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).

Take a Look at the Bison Industry It’S Called the Bison Advantage Bison Today Represents One of the True Bright Spots in Other- Wise Uncertain Agricultural Economy
Take a Look at the Bison Industry It’s Called the Bison Advantage Bison today represents one of the true bright spots in other- wise uncertain agricultural economy. Prices paid to produc- ers for market-ready animals have been at strong, profitable prices for the past eight years. As more people discover the great taste and nutritional benefits of bison meat. Bison today can be found on the menu of white ta- blecloth restaurants, in adult casual establishments, in an increasing number of retail outlets, and in farmers’ markets. With strong market prices expected to con- tinue, bison ranching represents on of the real growth opportunities for those producers entering agriculture, and for those considering a transition from conventional commodity production. Getting started in farming and ranching is never cheap, but bison represents one of the lower cost start-up enterprises in agriculture. Proper fencing and facilities are required, but you won’t need expensive machinery and handling equipment. Forget about barns…bison love the outdoors in all types of weather. In fact, bison do just fine in conditions ranging from raging blizzards to blistering heat. And, you won’t suffer sleepless nights during calving season because buffalo calve naturally without human assistance. In short, bison are a perfect match for producers who still rely on off-farm income to support their efforts to get established; and for those producers who would prefer to focus on building their business rather than pulling calves or hauling feed. One major factor inhibits continued growth in the consumer marketplace: SUPPLY. New Bison Producers Needed! Market prices for mature bison have remained at historic highs for the past eight years as processors compete to keep foodservice and retail markets supplied.

Wild yak are first observed at Pleistocene levels of the fossil record. We believed that they, together with the closely related species of Bos taurus, B. indicus and Bison bison, resulted from a rapid radiation of the genus towards the end of the Miocene. Today domestic yak live a fragile existence in a harsh environment. Their fitness for this environment is vital to their survival and to the millions of pastoralists who depend upon them.

(Water) Buffalo in the US Meat Marketplace
A Sneak Attack: (Water) Buffalo in the U.S. Meat Marketplace You Don’t Think So?.... Compiled by: National Bison Association 8690 Wolff Court Westminster, CO 80031 303.292.2833 [email protected] July 2019 Water Buffalo in the U.S. Market Page 1 of 20 (Page Intentionally Left Blank) Water Buffalo in the U.S. Market Page 2 of 20 Introduction The growing popularity of sustainably raised, deliciously healthy bison meat has brought profitability and economic stability to bison ranchers and marketers across the United States. In fact, the bison business has enjoyed nearly a decade of strong, profitable market prices. That stability is now under siege from a growing threat of water buffalo meat and pet food ingredients being deceptively marketed in a manner that misleads consumers into believing that they are purchasing bison. As a non-amenable species, bison is under the purview of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. (FDA). The National Bison Association in September 2018 filed a formal complaint with the FDA, citing the relevant sections of CFR 21 §101.18, and 21 CFR §102.5 which are intended to halt the marketing of mislabeled food. (See Page 7) In February, the FDA responded, writing that, while the agency “has not established a specific regulation regarding the marketing of either water buffalo or bison…we do agree that water buffalo should be labeled as water buffalo and that bison should be labels (sic) as ‘bison’ or ‘Buffalo (bison)’.” (See Page 10) The National Bison Association, with full support of the InterTribal Buffalo Council, is working with our allies in the U.S.
