Behavioral Biology of Laboratory Animals

Behavioral Biology Of Laboratory Animals Pdf Download

By Kristine Coleman , Steven J. Schapiro

Behavioral Biology of Laboratory Animals PDF. This 30-chapter volume informs students and professionals about the behavioral biology of animals commonly housed in laboratory and other captive settings. Each species evolved under specific environmental conditions, resulting in unique behavioral patterns, many of which are maintained in captivity even after generations of breeding. Understanding natural behavior is therefore a critical part of modern animal care practices. The descriptions, data, guidance, resources, and recommendations in this book will help the reader understand their animals better, refine the care and treatment that they receive, and improve the well-being, welfare, and wellness of their animals.

The book is divided into three sections, all focusing on aspects of the behavioral biology of animals found in laboratories and related research settings. After five introductory chapters, 25 chapters are dedicated to specific taxonomic groups (including mice, zebrafish, zebra finches, reptiles, macaques) while a concluding section of ethograms provides a centralized resource for those interested in understanding, and potentially quantifying, animal behavior.

The Behavioral Biology of Laboratory Animals will provide anyone working in maintenance, care, and/or research programs that involve laboratory animals with information about the way the animals live in the wild, and the way that they should live in captive research settings. Many of the guidelines and recommendations will also be valuable to those managing and working with animals in other environments, including zoological parks, aquaria, and sanctuaries.

Aquatic Animal Nutrition: Organic Macro- and Micronutrients

Aquatic Animal Nutrition: Organic Macro- and Micronutrients PDF

Aquatic Animal Nutrition, Organic Macro- and Micronutrients

Aquatic Animal Nutrition: Organic Macro- And Micronutrients Pdf

By Christian E.W. Steinberg

Aquatic Animal Nutrition, Organic Macro- and Micronutrients PDF. As sequel to Aquatic Animal Nutrition – A Mechanistic Perspective from Individuals to Generations, the present treatise on organic macro- and micronutrients continues the unique cross fertilization of aquatic ecology/ecophysiology and aquaculture. This treatise considers proteins and their constituents, carbohydrates from mono- to polysaccharides, fatty acids from free acids to fat, and waxes. It becomes obvious that these organic nutrients are more than only simple fuel for the metabolism of animals; rather, their constituents have messenger and controlling function for the actual consuming individual and even for succeeding generations. This aspect will become particularly clear by putting the organisms under consideration back into their ecosystem with their interrelationships and interdependencies. Furthermore, micronutrients, such as vitamins and nucleotides as well as exogenous enzymes, are in the focus of this volume with known and still-to-be-discovered controlling physiological and biomolecular functions.

Aquatic Animal Nutrition: Organic Macro- and Micronutrients addresses se­veral gaps in nutritional research and practice. One major gap is the lack of com­mon research standards and protocols for nutritional studies so that virtually incomparable approaches have to be compared. This applies also to the studied animals, since most approaches disregard intraspecific variabilities and the existence of epimutations in farmed individuals. Furthermore, recalling the Mechanistic Perspective from Individuals to Generations, dietary benefits and deficiencies have effects on succeeding generations. In most studies, this long-term and sustainable aspect is overruled by pure short-term production aspects.

By comparing nutritional behavior and success of fishes and invertebrates, Aqua­tic Animal Nutrition points out different metabolic pathways in these animal groups and discusses how, for instance, fishes would benefit when having some successful metabolic pathway of invertebrates. Application of novel ge­ne­tic techniques will help turn this vision into reality. However, a widely missing link in the current nutritional research is epigenetics regarding transgenerational heritages of acquired morphological and physiological properties. To in­crease public acceptance, nutritional optimization of farmed animals based on this mechanism, rather than genetical engineering, appears promising.

Internal Parasites Of Dogs And Cats: Diagnostic Manual Pdf

By Byron Blagburn

Internal Parasites of Dogs and Cats: Diagnostic Manual PDF. Parasitology is a fascinating field, especially when exploring the intricate mechanisms by which parasites propagate. In the fast-paced veterinary clinic environment, the study of parasitology too often becomes routine and mundane—we simply perform yet another fecal examination and dutifully record the results.

This diagnostic manual is designed to be an informative source for the identification and exploration of internal parasites. To be of most benefit to veterinarians and technicians, the manual was designed to be convenient and easy to use. As you’ll see, the parasites described in this manual have been divided into two groups according to the material (i.e., feces or blood) tested for infection. Additional sections are devoted to pseudoparasites, parasite life cycles and practical, time-saving diagnostic procedures. In addition, you will find guidelines for parasite prevention in dogs and cats developed by the Companion Animal Parasite Council, plus a handy index.

Table of Contents

Parasites found in blood
Nematodes
Parasites found in feces
Parasites of the gastrointestinal tract

Interpretation Of Canine And Feline Cytology

By Maxey L. Wellman, M. Judith Radin

Interpretation of Canine and Feline Cytology PDF is divided into four parts: Part I covers basic information on sample collection, specimen preparation, and microscopic evaluation. Part II discusses interpretation of the microscopic evaluation to reach a cytologic diagnosis of inflammation, hyperplasia, or neoplasia and includes a chapter devoted to identification of organisms. Part III contains case studies organized by systems. Reference material is located in Part IV. This handbook provides an introduction to cytology, presents some of the more common abnormalities in which cytology is useful for establishing a diagnosis, and points out certain situations in which the cytologic interpretation results in a provisional diagnosis that should be confirmed by histologic evaluation.
