Full textAbstract:
Globally, millions of animals are rescued and rehabilitated by wildlife carers each year. Information gathered in this process is useful for uncovering threats to native wildlife, particularly those from anthropogenic causes. However, few studies using rehabilitation data include a diverse range of fauna, cover large geographical areas, and consider long-term trends. Furthermore, few studies have statistically modelled causes of why animals come into care, and what are their chances of survival. This study draws on 469,553 rescues reported over six years by wildlife rehabilitators for 688 species of bird, reptile, and mammal from New South Wales, Australia. For birds and mammals, ‘abandoned/orphaned’ and ‘collisions with vehicles’ were the dominant causes for rescue, however for reptiles this was ‘unsuitable environment’. Overall rescue numbers were lowest in winter, and highest in spring, with six-times more ‘abandoned/orphaned’ individuals in spring than winter. Of the 364,461 rescues for which the fate of an animal was known, 92% fell within two categories: ‘dead’, ‘died or euthanased’ (54.8% of rescues with known fate) and animals that recovered and were subsequently released (37.1% of rescues with known fate). Modelling of the fate of animals indicated that the likelihood of animal survival (i.e. chance of: being released, left and observed, or permanent care), was related to the cause for rescue. In general, causes for rescue involving physical trauma (collisions, attacks, etc.) had a much lower likelihood of animals surviving than other causes such as ‘unsuitable environment’, ‘abandoned/orphaned’, and this also showed some dependence upon whether the animal was a bird, reptile, or mammal. This suggests rehabilitation efforts could be focused on particular threats or taxa to maximise success, depending on the desired outcomes. The results illustrate the sheer volume of work undertaken by rehabilitation volunteers and professionals toward both animal welfare and to the improvement of wildlife rehabilitation in the future.

Full textAbstract:
The non-human animal deaths and injuries that result from collisions with motor vehicles are known colloquially as roadkill, and often lead to individuals from various taxa being orphaned. The complexities of multiple spatial and temporal variables in the available data on Australian roadkill and the scale of orphaning and injury make statistical analysis difficult. However, data that offer proxy measures of the roadkill problem suggest a conservative estimate of 4 million Australian mammalian roadkill per year. Also, Australian native mammals are mainly marsupial, so female casualties can have surviving young in their pouches, producing an estimated 560 000 orphans per year. A conservative estimate is that up to 50 000 of these are rescued, rehabilitated and released by volunteer wildlife carers. These roadkill-associated orphans are in addition to those produced by other anthropogenic and natural events and the injured adult animals in the care of volunteers. In accepting total responsibility for rescued animals, wildlife carers face many demands. Their knowledge base can require days of initial instruction with the need for continual updates, and their physical abilities and personal health can be tested by sleepless nights, demanding manual tasks and zoonoses. This review article explores the impact of this commitment and conservatively estimates carers’ financial input to raise one joey at approximately $2000 a year, and their time input at 1000 h, equating to $31 000 per year, applying a dollar value of $31 per hour. It categorises relevant types of grief associated with hand-rearing orphans and rehabilitating injured animals, and suggests that wildlife carers most likely experience many types of grief but are also susceptible to burn-out through compassion fatigue. A perceived lack of understanding, empathy and appreciation for their work by government can add to the stressors they face. Volunteering is declining in Australia at 1% per year, social capital is eroding and the human population is aging, while the number of injured and orphaned animals is increasing. Wildlife carers are a strategic national asset, and they need to be acknowledged and supported if their health and the public service they provide is not to be compromised.

Objectives The objective of this study was to identify significant associations between treatment interventions and survival of orphaned shelter kittens with diarrhea. Methods Orphaned kittens admitted to a large open-intake municipal animal shelter and entering a volunteer foster care provider network between April 2016 and July 2017 were studied. Individual orphaned kittens for which the care provider sought examination by shelter veterinarians because of clinical signs of diarrhea were included. Treatments administered were recorded and their association with kitten survival to adoption or transfer to a rescue partner was statistically examined. Results A total of 1718 orphaned kittens were fostered, among which 220 kittens (12.8%) from 118 different litters were presented for evaluation of diarrhea. A total of 172 (78.2%) kittens underwent treatment for their diarrhea, among which 153 (89.0%) survived to adoption or transfer to a rescue partner and 19 (11.0%) died or were humanely euthanized. Kittens with diarrhea that were ⩾4 weeks of age were 24.8 times more likely to survive (95% confidence interval [CI] 6.8–89.8; P <0.0001). While controlling for age, kittens that received a vitamin and mineral supplement were 12.8 times more likely to survive (95% CI 3.1–52.5; P = 0.0004) than kittens with diarrhea that did not receive the supplement. Treatment with subcutaneous fluids, penicillin G, tube feeding, a probiotic containing Enterococcus faecium SF68, ponazuril or metronidazole did not statistically significantly increase the survival of kittens with diarrhea. Conclusions and relevance Age ⩾4 weeks and treatment of diarrhea with a vitamin and mineral supplement favorably improves survival of orphaned kittens to adoption. Application of these findings are likely to improve the health and welfare of this population and contribute to a refinement in use of shelter resources.

Full textAbstract:
White rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum) is one of the most famous victims of poachers in Africa. One of the methods for dealing with decreasing rhino numbers is rehabilitating wounded and/or orphaned animals to successfully release them back into the wild. The status of rescued animal differs among individuals, but general procedures must be established and constantly improved. This study presents the history of successful release of three orphaned white rhino females; rehabilitated for 15 months in Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre in a private game reserve in South Africa. Female A was three years old, female B was one year old and the youngest female was three months old on arrival. The animals were rehabilitated together despite the differences in their age and size, with particular attention paid to keeping them as wild as possible. After being weaned and becoming old enough to go back to the wild, they were released at a distance from the rehabilitation centre, which required immobilization and translocation. Since the rhinos were released, they have been successfully living in the wild. All procedures used in this study proved to be sufficient for preparing the animals for life in the wild and can be recommended for other centres.

Wildlife Rehabilitation Bulletin 40, no. 1 (October 7, 2022): 1–7. http://dx.doi.org/10.53607/wrb.v40.243.
Full textAbstract:
One of the challenges of wildlife rehabilitation is ensuring that rehabilitated animals have the required characteristics for survival after release. This is especially the case for orphaned animals that normally develop survival skills during a prolonged period of parental care. For raptors, this is called the post-fledging dependency period (PDP), where parents provide nutritional support to juveniles whilst they develop the physiological and behavioural characteristics required to successfully hunt prey. Orphaned raptors can be rehabilitated and released using a method termed “hacking,” a type of “soft-release” where fledglings are released from a nest box, which they learn to associate with food. This method gives the birds an opportunity to develop prey capture skills, whilst continued nutritional support is provided by rehabilitators at the box. Here, we used a hacking method to rehabilitate and release 15 orphaned kestrels (Falco tinnunculus) and observed the pattern of return to the hacking box. Of the released birds, 80% returned to the hack site for food at least once. The average number of days birds returned to the box was 12.67 ± 8.76, and there was a clear trend towards a gradual decrease in return rate (number of visits to the box per day) over time. Our observations are comparable to patterns of PDP in wild-reared kestrels and we therefore suggest that orphaned kestrels can be successfully rehabilitated in this way.

Full textAbstract:
Enrichment is extremely important to the welfare of animals, both those in the process of rehabilitation and permanent members of a facility. Enrichment is essential for maintenance of mental and physical well being of animals. Research has shown that active enrichment programs reduce stress and aberrant behaviors in captive animals, which benefits not only a facility’s permanent residents, but in turn can promote faster healing of injured and sick patients and aid in reintroduction to the wild. Enrichment can promote natural behaviors that help acclimate rehabilitated and orphaned animals to the wild. For captive animals, enrichment can reduce stress and increase physical activity.

Full textAbstract:
A retrospective analysis was performed using more than 21 000 patient records from three large centers across Canada in order to determine the reasons for the presentation and outcome of wildlife brought into wildlife rehabilitation centers in Canada. Results suggest that up to 97% of wild animals brought into wildlife rehabilitation centers are thought to be directly or indirectly linked to anthropogenic causes. Trauma was the leading reason recorded for 61% of all cases admitted to wildlife rehabilitation centers. Orphaned wildlife was also a key reason why animals were admitted to wildlife rehabilitation centers in Canada. This research will help wildlife rehabilitators and agencies be aware of the reasons for animal admission to rehabilitation centers and provide opportunities to develop mitigation strategies to potentially minimize human impact on indigenous wildlife.

Full textAbstract:
Wildlife rehabilitation is common in Australia, with more than 30 mainly volunteer wildlife networks caring for thousands of animals annually. Here we report on a survey of 140 Australian wildlife rehabilitators that asked questions about their motivations, their methods of rehabilitation and their methods for release and post-release assessments. Most rehabilitators were motivated by animal welfare concerns and most animals coming into care were injured or orphaned wildlife. Most rehabilitators recorded each animal’s history, conducted a medical examination and briefly quarantined new arrivals; few conducted pre-release medical testing. Animal behaviour before release was a significant concern and >50% of respondents stated that animals exhibiting stereotypic behaviours were still released. However, there were no consistent criteria for the suitability of an animal for release, its release site, or which soft-release method to use. Fewer than 60% of respondents carried out post-release monitoring, which was typically <1 month, and only 40% could identify factors that contribute to release success. Predation hampers most reintroductions and is likely to reduce survival of rehabilitated wildlife, highlighting the need for strategies to reduce predation risk; 20% of respondents carried out antipredator training, though most in an unstructured way. The ability to carry out animal training, and monitor success was perceived to be limited by poor funding, poor access to monitoring equipment, little government support and time constraints. Researchers are encouraged to collaborate with wildlife volunteer networks in order to improve this potentially valuable conservation approach.

Full textAbstract:
During the summer of 2005, the authors had an unusual opportunity to observe, document, and photograph a surrogate nursing western desert cottontail as she raised several litters of orphaned western desert cottontails and, to the authors’ surprise, a newborn orphaned black–tailed jackrabbit. Given the extent to which adult cottontails usually go to avoid any exposure to humans, the authors were surprised by this adult cottontail’s response. This opportunity opened an amazing window into the interactions and displays that can exist between a surrogate mother rabbit and foster young. This adult also helped clarify the sequence of nursing and separation behaviors that may occur in the wild. This article attempts to fill in a few of the pieces missing in our knowledge about these animals, both descriptively and pictorially.

In June, as many orphaned waterfowl cared for in WRCs waterfowl nursery reached the age of showing adult feathering, a series of sudden deaths occurred among older mallard ducklings (Anas platyrhynchos). Prior to finding these animals dead, none had exhibited any major abnormal health issues or symptoms. Laboratory findings indicated the ducks had died of duck plague (Duck Viral Enteritis).

Full textAbstract:
The nociceptin receptor (NOP) and its ligand nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ) have been shown to exert a modulatory effect on immune cells during sepsis. We evaluated the suitability of three different experimental animal models for studying changes in the nociceptin system; lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced sepsis, faecal slurry-induced sepsis and caecal ligation and puncture-induced sepsis. Methods. LPS-induced sepsis: C57BL/6mice BALB/c mice and Wistar rats were inoculated with different doses of LPS with or without a nociceptin receptor antagonist (UFP-101 or SB-612111). Fecal slurry-induced sepsis: A human stool batch was processed and a defined volume of stool suspension was injected intraperitoneally. Caecal ligation and puncture-induced sepsis: CLP was performed over 96 hours with and without the nociceptin receptor antagonist SB-612111. Results: In C57BL/6 mice LPS 0.85 mg/kg injection produced no septic response, whereas 1.2 mg/kg produced a profound response within 5 h. In BALB/c mice, LPS 4 mg/kg produced no response, whereas 7 mg/kg resulted in a profound response within 24 h. In Wistar rats LPS 15 mg/kg caused no septic response in 6/10 animals, whereas 25 mg/kg resulted in marked lethargy before 24 h. LPS-treated animals were unaffected by administration of a NOP antagonist. Similarly NOP antagonists had no effect on survival or expression of mRNA for NOP or ppN/OFQ (the N/OFQ precursor) in a variety of tissues. In these animal models, the dose–response curve for LPS was too steep to allow use in survival studies and no changes in the N/OFQ system occurred within 24 h. Faecal slurry-induced sepsis produced a similar dose response curve to LPS and did not produce changes in the N/OFQ system within 24 h however, this model could not be fully evaluated due to licence restrictions preventing the addition of supportive therapy. In the caecal ligation and puncture studies some changes were observed in the N/OFQ system in brain tissues and in serum and in some cases appeared to be reversed by SB-612111. The relevance of these changes to sepsis is not clear. Conclusion: A) LPS-inoculation in rodents is an unsuitable model for studying possible changes in the NOP-N/OFQ system in sepsis B) the faecal slurry-induced sepsis model could possibly be suitable with modifications e.g. with the addition of supportive therapy but further work is needed to evaluate this. C) Caecal ligation and puncture is suitable for studying changes in the nociceptin system.

Wild Animals’ Clinic and Behaviour
This dissertation will discuss my placement year as part of my master’s degree in Veterinary Medicine in Universidade de Évora. It will report the training I have gained from working in Centro de Triagem de Animais Silvestres and Centro de Medicina e Pesquisa de Animais Selvagens, whilst reflecting on Wild Animals’ Clinic and Behaviour.
This document is divided in two main parts. The first one focuses on the activities I have witnessed and the second one consists on a literature review on the recovery of wild orphans who are intended to return to nature, with reference to some of the cases followed.
Although it might be difficult, it is possible to keep a wild orphan alive in captivity. However, proper care must be delivered to prevent them from creating bounds and behaviours that could compromisse their release. New procedures should be regularly implemented in order to allow these animals to continue an ordinary life.

Most corporations seem geared to buy assets, not sell them. Estimates suggest corporations acquire three businesses for every one they divest (Mankins 2008). A corporation with a disciplined approach to divestiture seems more likely to sharpen strategic focus and deliver value to shareholders. This thesis defines and explores the concept of an orphan product as an opportunity for divestiture from a parent company and subsequent acquisition for a startup company. Orphan product is defined by reviewing literature and selecting the following criteria for a given product; the product has a lack of marketing support/focus, the product is not considered core to the parent company, product sales trend over a 5-year time frame is decreasing, cash flows are uncertain, market growth for the category the product competes in is smaller than the industry average, the product life cycle position is mature, and portfolio synergy is low due to the parent company having other products that deliver similar benefits. A scorecard is developed and used to score orphan characteristics of four products in the animal health industry. Two of the four products analyzed are classified as orphan products and therefore potential candidates for purchase by the startup company. A Strategy Canvas is developed and value curves are assigned per product to show how the startup company can market an acquired product relative to the critical success factors in the animal health industry (Kim and Mauborgne, 2005). A framework of critical questions is posed to each product resulting in recommendations for the startup on critical success factors to eliminate, reduce, raise, or create. For the orphan products, a recommendations include: raise price, increase marketing support, and/or create new factors to differentiate such as to offer additional services or to develop pricing models that are simple and clear. Application of this research can be applied to companies seeking to acquire animal health products that would like to better understand how to improve their chances for success.

Full textAbstract:
Im Zuge der Überarbeitung der DVG-Richtlinie zur Prüfung der Viruzidie chemischer Desinfektionsmittel in der Nutztierhaltung wurden BVDV, EAV und PPV auf ihre Eignung als potentielle Prüfviren getestet.
Das bisher vorgeschriebene Newcastle-Disease-Virus und das Vacciniavirus sollen mit anderen behüllten Viren wie BVDV oder EAV verglichen werden. Beweggründe für einen möglichen Austausch sind die derzeitige Situation in der Tierseuchenbekämpfung, die Erhöhung der Anwendersicherheit durch Wegfall des zoonotischen Potentials, die einfachere Kultivierung und Handhabung der Prüfviren sowie speziell bei NDV die höhere Aussagekraft der gewonnenen Ergebnisse.
Die Desinfektionsmittelversuche wurden gemäß DVG-Richtlinie auf Pappelholzkeimträgern durchgeführt, wobei das jeweilige, mit fetalem Kälberserum vermischte, Virus auf die Keimträger aufgetragen und angetrocknet wurde. Die DVG schreibt eine Trocknung im Brutschrank von 60 Minuten bei 37°C vor. Um die Trocknungsverluste der eingesetzten Viren zu untersuchen, wurden vergleichende Trocknungsversuche wie vorgeschrieben im Brutschrank und im Exsikkator bei Raumtemperatur durchgeführt. Die nach der Trocknung im Brutschrank durchgeführten Desinfektionsmittelversuche wurden mit chemischen Grundsubstanzen kommerziell erhältlicher Desinfektionsmittel durchgeführt. Dabei kamen verschiedene Anwendungskonzentrationen von Ameisensäure, Glutaraldehyd, Natriumhypochlorit, Natronlauge und Peressigsäure zum Einsatz. Bei der vorgeschriebenen Trocknung im Brutschrank kam es zu Titerverlusten von 0,8 bis zu 2,75 log10KID50/ml. Durch eine Trocknung der Holzkeimträger von 30 Minuten bei Raumtemperatur im Exsikkator konnten die Titerverluste auf 0,3 bis 1,0 log10KID50/ml reduziert werden. In den nachfolgenden Desinfektionsversuchen zeigte sich die besonders hohe Tenazität von PPV. Es war den eingesetzten Desinfektionsmitteln gegenüber deutlich resistenter als alle anderen untersuchten Viren. In den Trocknungsversuchen zeigte PPV mit Abstand die niedrigsten Titerverluste. Mit BVDV und EAV konnten zwar ausreichend hohe Titer erzielt werden, allerdings waren die Trocknungsverluste beider Viren sehr hoch. In den Keimträgerversuchen konnte nur in wenigen Versuchen eine Titerreduktion von mehr als 3 Logarithmusstufen erreicht werden.
Hier könnte zukünftig die Trocknung im Exsikkator Abhilfe schaffen, um die Trocknungsverluste zu minimieren und eine höhere Titerreduktion zu ermöglichen. Die Ergebnisse einer früheren Arbeit zeigen identische Ergebnisse von NDV und BVDV im Keimträgertest. Ein Ersatz von NDV durch BVDV ist somit zu empfehlen. Eine Verwendung der untersuchten Viren gemäß den derzeitigen DVG-Richtlinien ist möglich, allerdings müssten im Zuge der weiteren Harmonisierung von CEN- und DVG-Richtlinie die Kontrolltiter entsprechend erhöht werden, um die von der CEN geforderte Titerreduktion von vier Logarithmusstufen für eine vollständige Virusinaktivierung einzuhalten. Die Vermehrung der untersuchten Viren zu höheren Ausgangs-, bzw. Kontrolltitern sollte daher Gegenstand weiterer Forschungsarbeit sein. Einer weiteren Verwendung der bisherigen Prüfviren BEV und REOV steht nichts im Wege. Aufgrund der Ergebnisse der vergleichenden Trocknungsversuche wird für alle untersuchten Viren zukünftig eine 30 minütige Trocknung im Exsikkator empfohlen.

Abstract This chapter focuses on the possibilities of restoring nature. It shows possibilities of cohabitation between the numerous human and rapidly shrinking wild ape populations, such as with the Orangutan Foundation preserving habitat, releasing orphaned orangutans in protected reserves, and promoting education and livelihoods for the locals. Rewilding and restoration need concerted efforts to accommodate natural landscapes and wild animal and plant populations, and to avert a mass extinction. The chapter explores, too, the possibility of building mutualistic ‘garden’ cities and rebuilding marine ecosystems such as those of mangrove and seagrass. For a sustainable future, the human and natural worlds need sensitive and imaginative rebalancing.

Full textAbstract:
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a complex and severe orphan disease. It develops when the organism lacks the expression of dystrophin - a large structural protein. Dystrophin is transcribed from the largest gene in the human genome. At the moment, there is no cure available. Dozens of groups all over the world search for cure. Animal models are an important component of both the fundamental research and therapy development. Many animal models reproducing the features of disease were created and actively used since the late 80’s until present. The species diversity spans from invertebrates to primates and the genetic diversity of these models spans from single mutations to full gene deletions. The models are often non-interchangeable; while one model may be used for particular drug design it may be useless for another. Here we describe existing models, discuss their advantages and disadvantages and potential applications for research and therapy development.

Full textAbstract:
Like the German Heimatfilm, homeland film is also a popular and enduring tradition in Danish cinema. Often criticised as reactionary or regressive, homeland films flourished from the 1950s onwards, bringing images of the national landscape to cinema screens. Adaptations of popular novels by Morten Korch formed the backbone of the genre, and production was dominated by two women filmmakers: Alice O’Fredericks and Annelise Reenberg. The films tend to narrate identity-related struggles, set in a place of origin such as a farm or village, and they balance melodrama with comedy, lyricism, and the occasional supernatural element. Interconnections between cinematic landscape, human and animal are crucial, and kinship extends far beyond the nuclear family to encompass cultural outcasts, the unmarried, the childless, the old and orphans. Indeed, this chapter argues that homeland films often centre on a crisis of sexuality, and feature some form of queer couples or queer nurturing.

Hyacinth bean also known as Indian bean is multipurpose legume crops consumed both as food by humans and as forage by animals. Being a rich source of protein, it also produces distinct secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, phenols and tyrosinase which not only help strengthened plant’s own innate immunity against abiotic/biotrophic attackers but also play important therapeutic role in the treatment of various chronic diseases. However, despite its immense therapeutic and nutritional attributes in strengthening food, nutrition and therapeutic security in many developing countries, it is still considered as an “orphan crop” for unravelling its genetic potential and underlying molecular mechanisms for enhancing secondary metabolite production. Several lines of literatures have well documented the use of OMICS based techniques and biotic and abiotic elicitors for stimulating secondary metabolite production particularly in model as well as in few economically important crops. However, only limited reports have described their application for stimulating secondary metabolite production in underutilised crops. Therefore, the present chapter will decipher different dimensions of multi-omics tools and their integration with other conventional techniques (biotic and abiotic elicitors) for unlocking hidden genetic potential of hyacinth bean for elevating the production of secondary metabolites having pharmaceutical and therapeutic application. Additionally, the study will also provide valuable insights about how these advance OMICS tools can be successfully exploited for accelerating functional genomics and breeding research for unravelling their hidden pharmaceutical and therapeutic potential thereby ensuring food and therapeutic security for the betterment of mankind.
