Abstract:

Rabbit as one of the species of farm animals has a number of advantages: precocity, prolificacy, low expenditures on housing and feeding, high payback of feed production. The purpose of the research was to study the economic and biological characteristics and product quality of rabbits of different origin. Comprehensive research has been carried out under the environments of LLC “ACRO” in the Omsk region. Four experimental groups have been formed for research: the 1st group included animals four purebred females and one purebred male of White Giant breed; the 2nd group included four purebred f

This paper analyzes whether endangered animals can be protected through social media, and what factors influence people’s attention to endangered animal protection on social media. To answer these two questions, I compared the Baidu search index of giant pandas in the three-year period: 2019-2021 with the number of donations received by the Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Research Foundation. The results showed that social media has effectively protected the giant pandas. I use retrospective content analysis to find 20 Weibo accounts by setting keywords and analyze Engagement metrics.

Abstract:

Both Loligo and Aglantha have sets of giant axons arranged in a cascading series, which transmit impulses at high velocity and with short synaptic delays to the swimming muscles. The layout of the axons is such as to guarantee symmetrical, near-simultaneous contractions of all parts of the swimming muscles, necessary for effective jetting. The giant axons in both animals are multinucleate, syncytial structures. In both animals, the first-order giants receive a rich afferent innervation. Despite these similarities in the layout and properties of their giant axon systems, Loligo and Aglantha con

Abstract:

Valvometry, the electronic measurement of bivalve shell opening and closing, has been demonstrated to be a valuable biomonitoring technique in previous ecological and environmental studies. Valvometric data has been shown to relate significantly to pollution, predation, animal stress and feeding activity. However, there is a need for valvometric techniques applicable to coral reef environments, which may provide critical insights into reef resilience to ocean warming and acidification. Giant clams are endemic to coral reefs and hold great promise as valvometric recorders of light availability,

Abstract:

The African giant rat is one of Ghana's most common animals sought after as a source of meat (game). Local hunters use unhealthy means to hunt these animals, so attempts have been made to domesticate African giant rats in Ghana. Nevertheless, certain local consumers have articulated concerns, suggesting that wild giant rats' meat is more tender and leaner than those domestically farmed. The study was carried out to investigate consumer preference, sensory attributes, proximate composition, and acceptability of meats from wild and farmed African giant rats in Mampong Ashanti municipality in the

Few giant otters (Pteronura brasiliensis) have been measured and weighed and its actual size is controversial in the literature.

The weight-length relationships were not significantly different between the sexes (t = 0.658, d.f.=11, P>0.05) and can be expressed by the equation: W=1.48x10-5 L2.81.

Abstract:

Estimates of body mass often represent the founding assumption on which biomechanical and macroevolutionary hypotheses are based. Recently, a scaling equation was applied to a newly discovered titanosaurian sauropod dinosaur ( Dreadnoughtus ), yielding a 59 300 kg body mass estimate for this animal. Herein, we use a modelling approach to examine the plausibility of this mass estimate for Dreadnoughtus . We find that 59 300 kg for Dreadnoughtus is highly implausible and demonstrate that masses above 40 000 kg require high body densities and expansions of soft tissue volume outside the skeleton

Tourists consistently demonstrate the need to touch wildlife, although policies often deny these experiences because of the psychological and physiological impacts on animals. However, philosophers contend that humans can learn to empathize with animals by feeling their way into the plight of animals through touch.

Abstract:

Leptospirosis, also known as Weil’s disease, is a febrile tropical disease of humans and diverse animals. The maintenance hosts of the infectious pathogen, Leptospira spp., are primarily rodents, while other warm-blooded animals and some reptiles are secondary or transient hosts of this pathogen. African giant pouched rats (Cricetomys spp.) have been identified to be important maintenance hosts of pathogenic leptospires in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. This study assessed the seroprevalence of Leptospira spp. in the African giant pouched rats of the Ngorongoro Conservation

ABSTRACT In view of the scarcity of data about the topography and syntopy of abdominopelvic viscera of the giant anteater (Myrmecophage tridactyla - Linnaeus, 1758), the present study aimed to elucidate these characteristics and to compare them with the other animal species, especially the domestic ones. Three specimens, two males and one female, were donated by the Environmental Military Police of Franca to the Anatomy Veterinary Laboratory of the University of Franca, after death by road killings. The animals were fixed and maintained in aqueous 10% formaldehyde solution, followed by convent

Abstract:

Rhamphorhynchus is one of the best-known pterosaurs, with well over 100 specimens being held in public collections. Most of these represent juvenile animals, and the adults known are typically around 1 m in wingspan. Here we describe a near complete skeleton, preserved partially in 3D, of an animal with a wingspan of around 1.8 m, that is considerably larger than other known specimens, and is among the largest known non-pterodactyloid pterosaurs. This animal shows differences in the anatomy not seen in smaller specimens, revealing details of late-stage ontogeny in this genus. The specimen exhi

Abstract:

Forty years ago, scientists discovered an animal at the bottom of the ocean that changed forever how we view life on this planet. Abundant, thriving animals were not expected in the deep sea, due to the very low levels of organic carbon that sink down from above. The giant tubeworm Riftia pachyptila pays little attention to this problem, having renounced its mouth and digestive system during the course of evolution. Instead, this animal relies on a partnership with internal bacteria that act as a built-in source of nourishment and, in exchange, Riftia performs unparalleled physiological feats.

A partial gastrectomy was performed to excise the mass along with a 1 cm margin of grossly normal tissue. Giant hypertrophic gastritis was diagnosed via histopathology of the exc

The impacts of roads on wildlife and their habitats have been widely recognized. To assess the effects of roads on habitat use of the giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca (David, 1869)), we investigated the giant panda habitats and the roadside habitats in Wanglang Nature Reserve, People’s Republic of China. We found that giant pandas did not use the road-affected habitats, and compared with giant panda habitats, road-affected habitats were characterized by lower bamboo density and grazing disturbances. Therefore, our study demonstrated that roads negatively affected the habitat use of giant pa

This study describes a case of giant cell osteosarcoma (GCO) localised on the right scapulae in a six-year-old neutered male Scottish Fold cat. GCO is a rare tumour in domestic animals. This tumour is also known as giant cell-rich osteosarcoma. Multinucleated giant cells and osteoid structures are observed in GCO. The mass was 4.6 x 4.4 x 4.3 cm in size and very firm. Microscopically, fusiform spindle-shaped cells and multinucleated giant cells were observed. There were 4-8 mitotic figures in three random high-power fields (400x). Osteoid structures and necrosis were detected in several areas.

Gastrotomy revealed the presence of giant cerebriform rugal folds arising from the fundus and body of the stomach.

Plant toxicology has affected animals throughout evolution. Plants have adapted themselves to the environment. This adaptation has led to the development of defensive strategies to avoid being consumed. Plants have several chemical compounds, which can cause deleterious effects on people or animals that consume them, causing a wide variety of clinical signs. Plants from various latitudes, both cultivated for human and animal feeding or decorative purpose and even wild growth plants are able to generate anaemia in ruminants.
