PRACTICAL AND QUICK WORK FLOW FOR ORCHIECTOMY OF 338 BATS () FOR POPULATION MANAGEMENT WITH INJECTABLE ANESTHESIA.

Veterinary Clinic Vienna Zoo, 1130 Vienna, Austria.
In captivity, neotropical Seba's short-tailed bats () (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) reproduce readily, and contraception can constitute an opportunity to prevent uncontrolled reproduction, which can lead to overpopulation as well as inbreeding. The authors developed a safe and efficient work flow, anesthetic, and surgical castration protocol for the reproductive control of a captive population of more than 500 bats housed at the rainforest house at the Vienna Zoo, Austria. An anesthetic protocol using 0.

Multi-parous Holstein cows exposed to short day photoperiod (SDPP) of 8 h of light per day during their dry period produced up to 3.2 kg more milk per day compared with cows exposed to long day photoperiod (LDPP) of 16 h of light per day; it is unknown if a similar response would be observed for Jersey cow milk production. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of photoperiod during the dry period on subsequent colostrum and milk production in Holstein and Jersey cattle.

Background: Spinocerebellar ataxia with axonal neuropathy type 1 (OMIM: 607250) is an extremely rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by a mutation in the tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 1 (TDP1) gene. Only a single missense variant (p.His493Arg) in this gene has been reported.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined the impact of inbreeding on longevity and fertility within the House of Habsburg, analyzing 124 marriages from around 1450 to 1800 involving 107 men and 124 women.
- Results indicated that higher inbreeding coefficients were linked to earlier age of death for women who had children and increased maternal mortality shortly after childbirth.
- The research concluded that inbreeding significantly affected adult survival and maternal health, marking the first evidence of such impacts on maternal mortality in human populations.
Unraveling the genomic diversity and admixture history of captive tigers in the United States.

Department of Biology, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305.
Article Synopsis
- Scientists are studying the DNA of tigers to understand their genetic diversity and help protect them, especially since many tigers in the wild are endangered.
- This research looks at tigers that are kept in captivity, like privately owned ones in the U.S., known as "Generic" tigers, which might have mixed ancestry from different tiger types.
- The study found that these Generic tigers have similar genetic diversity to wild tigers and can help conservation efforts by creating a new way to identify tiger ancestry using less expensive genetic testing methods.
