Inspection Report United States Department of Agriculture CTHOMAS Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service 2016090000598605 Insp_id Inspection Report KATHLEEN FUTRELL Customer ID: 326700 8500 Enterprise Road Certificate: 56-C-0230 MYRTLE BEACH, SC 29588 Site: 001 KATHLEEN FUTRELL Type: ROUTINE INSPECTION Date: 05-MAY-2021 2.40(b)(2) Direct Repeat Attending veterinarian and adequate veterinary care (dealers and exhibitors). Two adult Aoudad sheep were observed on inspection with forelimb lameness’s. Upon approaching the primary enclosure, one female Aoudad remained sitting while the remainder of the herd swiftly moved to the back of the enclosure. After standing, a profound right-forelimb, minimally-weightbearing lameness was noted. A second adult Aoudad was then seen limping on its left forelimb. Though the facility representative stated they were already planning to treat the female Aoudad, neither had received veterinary care prior to this inspection. Furthermore, the second lame Aoudad identified had not been noticed by the facility representative until it was brought to their attention. Lameness is suggestive of pain and/or an underlying condition. Failure to appropriately identify and treat diseases can lead to prolonged suffering, infection, pain, and other veterinary care problems. In addition, failure to observe all animals daily can result in deterioration of the animal's health, especially when limping has began and the initial onset is unknown. The facility must use appropriate methods to prevent, control, diagnose, and treat diseases and injuries . 3.85 Employees.

Per the facility representative, the employee cleaning the enclosure was a new hire, employed at the facility for approxim ately four to six weeks. Though the employee was being supervised by a tenured staff member, the capuchin had not been locked out of the indoor exhibit. The cleaning protocol had not been followed, resulting in the capuchin fleeing from its enclosure. Adhering to a facility’s protocol can help prevent animal escapes, as well as further injury to the animal and members of the public. Employees who provide care, husbandry practices, and handle nonhuman primates must be trained and supervised by an individual who has the background and experience to oversee others. Corrective actions were taken at the time of inspection. 3.130 Direct Repeat Watering. One enclosure housing Aoudad sheep and Fallow deer did not have clean drinking water. Upon inspection, the water receptacle contained cloudy, brown water that could not be clearly seen through to the bottom of the receptacle. Floating on top of the water were clumps of brown and green plantlike material. Once drained, the receptacle had copious amounts of brown sludge sitting on the bottom. The consumption of unclean drinking water can compromise an animal’s health or cause severe illness. Accessibility to potable water is necessary for health, sustenance, and well -being of the animal. All water receptacles must be kept clean and sanitary. This inspection and exit interview were conducted with the licensee and facility representative.

  • Notes on the Distribution, Status, and Research Priorities of Little-Known Small Carnivores in Brazil
    Notes on the distribution, status, and research priorities of little-known small carnivores in Brazil Tadeu G. de OLIVEIRA Abstract Ten species of small carnivores occur in Brazil, including four procyonids, four mustelids (excluding otters), and two mephitids. On the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species eight are assessed as Least Concern and two as Data Deficient. The state of knowledge of small carnivores is low compared to other carnivores: they are among the least known of all mammals in Brazil. The current delineation of Bassaricyon and Galictis congeners appears suspect and not based on credible information. Research needs include understanding dis- tributions, ecology and significant evolutionary units, with emphasis on theAmazon Weasel Mustela africana. Keywords: Amazon weasel, Data Deficient, Olingo, Crab-eating Raccoon, Hog-nosed Skunk Notas sobre la distribución, estado y prioridades de investigación de los pequeños carnívoros de Brasil Resumen En Brasil ocurren diez especies de pequeños carnívoros, incluyendo cuatro prociónidos, cuatro mustélidos (excluyendo nutrias) y dos mephitidos. De acuerdo a la Lista Roja de Especies Amenazadas de la UICN, ocho especies son evaluadas como de Baja Preocupación (LC) y dos son consideradas Deficientes de Datos (DD). El estado de conocimiento de los pequeños carnívoros es bajo comparado con otros carnívoros y se encuentran entre los mamíferos menos conocidos de Brasil. La delineación congenérica actual de Bassaricyon y Galictis parece sospechosa y no basada en información confiable.

  • The 2008 IUCN Red Listings of the World's Small Carnivores
    The 2008 IUCN red listings of the world’s small carnivores Jan SCHIPPER¹*, Michael HOFFMANN¹, J. W. DUCKWORTH² and James CONROY³ Abstract The global conservation status of all the world’s mammals was assessed for the 2008 IUCN Red List. Of the 165 species of small carni- vores recognised during the process, two are Extinct (EX), one is Critically Endangered (CR), ten are Endangered (EN), 22 Vulnerable (VU), ten Near Threatened (NT), 15 Data Deficient (DD) and 105 Least Concern. Thus, 22% of the species for which a category was assigned other than DD were assessed as threatened (i.e. CR, EN or VU), as against 25% for mammals as a whole. Among otters, seven (58%) of the 12 species for which a category was assigned were identified as threatened. This reflects their attachment to rivers and other waterbodies, and heavy trade-driven hunting. The IUCN Red List species accounts are living documents to be updated annually, and further information to refine listings is welcome.

  • 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.

The aim of the present study was therefore to investigate the use of the sense of smell in this species. Twenty-five captive coatis were observed at the zoo of La Paz for a total of 120 hours to collect data on olfactory-related behaviors. The coatis frequently performed behaviors in response to the detection of odors such as sniffing on the ground, on objects, on food, on conspecifics, or in the air. In contrast, they did not display many odor depositing behaviors such as urinating, defecating, or scent-marking. The most frequently performed olfactory-related behavior was “sniffing on ground” which accounted for an average of 40 % of all recorded behaviors.

Cladistic analyses of morpho- logical characters conducted during the last two decades have resulted in topologies that group ecologically and morphologically similar taxa together. SpeciWcally, the highly arboreal and frugivorous kinkajou (Potos Xavus) and olingos (Bassaricyon) deWne one clade, whereas the more terrestrial and omnivorous coatis (Nasua), raccoons (Procyon), and ringtails (Bassariscus) deWne another clade, with the similar-sized Nasua and Procyon joined as sister taxa in this latter group. These relationships, however, have not been tested with molecu- lar sequence data. We examined procyonid phylogenetics based on combined data from nine nuclear and two mitochondrial gene seg- ments totaling 6534 bp.

  • Jaguars As Landscape Detectives for the Conservation of Atlantic Forests in Brazil
    Jaguars as Landscape Detectives for the Conservation of Atlantic Forests in Brazil by Laury Cullen Jr. Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Biodiversity Management Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology (DICE) University of Kent Canterbury November 2006 ii Dedication In dedication to the loving memory of my father Laury Cullen (1934-2002) (Photo by Laury Cullen Jr.) “ the jaguar was sent to the world as a test of the will and integrity of first humans” (Colombian indigenous myth, Davis 1996) iii Abstract In this thesis, I show how the jaguar Panthera onca can be used as a landscape detective. A landscape detective is defined as a species that helps determine how to manage landscapes and to design and manage protected area networks. Life history and behavioural features of jaguar make them potentially suitable as landscape species. The main aim of this study is to use the jaguar as a landscape detective to develop a network of core protected areas for the Upper Paraná Region, which lies in the highly threatened Atlantic Forest of Brazil. Information was collected on jaguar density and home range, which was combined with habitat requirements of the species and GIS-generated maps of land cover to develop a map of habitat suitability. This map was used to understand the spatial structure of the jaguar metapopulation, identifying habitat patches of high suitability where jaguar populations exist and are likely to survive over the long-term. Camera trapping and capture-recapture models were used to derive jaguar population size in Morro do Diabo State Park (MDSP).

There were several areas of the fence around the goat and alpaca enclosure that had gaps or bent wire that could be a danger to the animals. Additionally, the sheet metal on the outside of the large barn had become loose and presented a sharp edge that could injure the animals.The fence needs to be repaired and the sheet metal repaired to assure the animals do not become trapped trying to escape or injured by the sheet metal. The indoor and outdoor housing facilities shall be structurally sound and shall be maintained in good repair to protect the animals from injury and to contain the animals. 3.127 (d) REPEAT FACILITIES, OUTDOOR. The perimeter fence at the back (uphill) of the property had an area where it was lower than the rest of the fence. This area was near a piled rock structure which made the fence effectively shorter still at this point. This area presents a likely point for an animal to get over the fence. The facility must be enclosed by a perimeter fence that is of sufficient height (at least eight feet) to keep animals and unauthorized persons out. This height must be maintained for the entire length and vegetation must not be allowed to compromise the integrity and effectiveness of the fence.

Mammalian and avian diversity of the Rewa Head, Rupununi, Southern Guyana. Biota Neotrop. 11(3): http://www.biotaneotropica.org.br/v11n3/en/abstract?in ventory+bn00911032011 Abstract: We report the results of a short expedition to the remote headwaters of the River Rewa, a tributary of the River Essequibo in the Rupununi, Southern Guyana. We used a combination of camera trapping, mist netting and spot count surveys to document the mammalian and avian diversity found in the region. We recorded a total of 33 mammal species including all 8 of Guyana’s monkey species as well as threatened species such as lowland tapir (Tapirus terrestris), giant otter (Pteronura brasiliensis) and bush dog (Speothos venaticus). We recorded a minimum population size of 35 giant otters in five packs along the 95 km of river surveyed. In total we observed 193 bird species from 47 families. With the inclusion of Smithsonian Institution data from 2006, the bird species list for the Rewa Head rises to 250 from 54 families. These include 10 Guiana Shield endemics and two species recorded as rare throughout their ranges: the harpy eagle (Harpia harpyja) and crested eagle (Morphnus guianensis).
