Dama wallabies (Macropus eugenii) are considered significant pests in the Bay of Plenty. FeraCol, a possum control product, was tested for palatability and efficacy on eight penned male dama wallabies. FeraCol had very low palatability to captive wallabies. Only one wallaby ate a lethal dose, and it died 4 days later. FeraCol, in its present form, would be unsuitable for controlling dama wallab...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between stres and cortisol levels in captive animals. Stress is defined as a physiologic response to events perceived as potentially or actually threatening the integrity of the body. Serum, saliva or urine cortisol has been extensively used as a stress indicator in many mammalian species. Stereotypic behavior is exhibited by a wide ...
Captive centers are wholly owned near-shore or offshore subsidiaries that provide IT, business process and R&D services to their parent firms. There are four models for captive centers—basic, hybrid, shared and divested. Each of these models is illustrated by a case example in the full article, which provides an understanding of how parent organizations successfully evolve their captive centers...
Chronic foot disease poses a threat to the general health, represents a tremendous clinical challenge, and often is a reason for euthanasia in captive megaherbivores, among them the elephant and rhinoceros. Nevertheless, apart from the elephant, foot pathology is handled as being confined only to soft tissues whereas bone pathology is often overlooked. As a case in point, the authors selected t...
The quantitative assessment of parasite infection is necessary to measure, manage and reduce infection risk in both wild and captive animal populations. Traditional faecal flotation methods which aim to quantify parasite burden, such as the McMaster egg counting technique, are widely used in veterinary medicine, agricultural management and wildlife parasitology. Although many modifications to t...
In the Brazilian Amazon region, malaria caused by Plasmodium malariae is considered to be a zoonosis because of cross-transfer of the parasite between humans and Neotropical primates. To contribute information on this issue, we investigated occurrences of natural infection with Plasmodium sp. among Neotropical primates in the Maranhense Amazon (Amazon region of the state of Maranhão), in the no...
Tooth wear is often suggested as an important factor limiting the life span of free-ranging wildlife. Given the frequent occurrence of poor dental health in captive animals reported in the literature, one would expect tooth health to be a limiting factor in captivity as well. Additionally, it could be assumed that brachydont (browsing) animals are more susceptible to dental health problems than...
The scimitar-horned oryx, Oryx dammah, an endangered species extinct in the wild, is managed in various captive management programs and is the focus of reintroduction efforts. Management variability can contribute to substantial parasite load differences, which can affect deworming programs and potentially transfer parasites to different regions with translocations. Parasite studies in O. damma...
This paper presents a new approach for hinterland modelling based on the results of port choice modelling. The paper follows the idea that the shippers’ port choice is a trade-off between various objective and subjective factors. The presented model tackles the problem by applying the AHP method in order to obtain ports’ preference rates based on subjective factors, and combine them with object...
