  • Gene mapping in r-bearing Animals: genetic maps and comparative gene mapping
    1998
    Co-Authors: Oleg L. Serov, Nikolay B. Rubtsov
    Abstract:

    Over the last decade, there has been marked progress in gene mapping in man and some Animals. Advances in gene mapping have also touched Fur-Bearing Animals: the genetic map of mink consists of 74 genes marking all chromosomes, except the Y, and the fox map contains 35 genes marking 15 of 16 autosomes and the X chromosome. However, until recently there has been little information about the structure of fur colour coding genes and their chromosomal localizations in mink and fox. Comparisons of the mink gene map with those of man and other mammals have revealed the presence of giant conserved gene regions, presumably derived from a common ancestral genome. The fox genome contains fewer such regions. The existence of conserved regions of syntenic genes in phylogenetically remote species allows comparative mapping to be used as a powerful tool for a targeted search for the location of important genes in Fur-Bearing Animals.

  • Raising of Fur-Bearing Animals and Animal Welfare
    Deutsche Tierarztliche Wochenschrift, 1990
    Co-Authors: Grauvogl A
    Abstract:

    The Ministry of Agriculture has drafted a prescription for raising Animals for fur production. It contains high standards of knowledge about raising, feeding and care for those Animals. Included is combined interest and negotiation between farmers and the organisations for the protection of Animals. Some facts of ethology need clarification soon. Special: the social deprive of Minks; the bath taking possibility for the Mink; the requirement of space for the Mink; the collar plate on Chinchillas; the water requirement of swamp Beavers; the size of group and dense occupation of Foxes. All recommendations, directions and prescriptions up to now are patchwork. In certain cases must the advisor and the farmer be in position to recognize deficiencies in care and management and be able to stop it if necessary. In this connection they must observe behaviour of tail biting, skin tearing and consumption of new born, disturbances in mating behaviour as well as in upbringing. They must also look for stereotyped movements and the expressions of pain and anxiety. The Council of Europe gave also a draft of recommendations concerning fur Animals and in this paper is also attached the importance to farmers diagnosis of disturbed behaviour.

  • Resistance of E.coli from Fur-Bearing Animals to Fluoroquinolones and Compound Chinese Medicine
    China Animal Husbandry & Veterinary Medicine, 2015
    Co-Authors: Yu Ji
    Abstract:

    The aim of this study was to investigate the resistance to fluoroquinolones and compound Chinese medicine,and control colibacillosis in Fur-Bearing Animals.14 E.coli strains isolated from diseased Fur-Bearing Animals were detected by PCR for the fluoroquinolone-resistant gyrAgene,and then the PCR fragment of gyrAgene was cloned,sequenced and analyzed for homology.Afterwards,the fragment was labeled with digoxigenin as DNA probe for dot-blot hybridization detection.The resistance to compound Chinese medicine was detected by Oxford-cup tests.The results demonstrated that the positive rates of PCR and dot-blot hybridization were 57.1%and 50.0%,respectively.Only 28.6% of the E.coli strains were resistant to compound Chinese medicine.The results indicated that the resistance to fluoroquinolones in E.coli strains from furbearing Animals was severe,however,the isolates were much more sensitive to compound Chinese medicine.The results would provide basis for control of colibacillosis of Fur-Bearing Animals.

  • Morpho-tribo-mechanical characteristics of the articular cartilage in Animals under conditions of hypokinesis.
    Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Part H Journal of engineering in medicine, 1991
    Co-Authors: N A Slesarenko, T O El-mahdy, N S Gavrjushenko
    Abstract:

    The influence of activity upon the structure and properties of articular cartilage has been examined in two populations of Fur-Bearing Animals. Morphological changes in cartilage of the caged Animals were noted. Friction was mentioned in a vibrotribometer and it was noted that the caged Animals exhibited a lower friction coefficient than the free-moving Animals. In both cases the friction initially increased with age, reaching a maximum after about three years. It is concluded that prolonged hypokinesis associated with a cage-breeding regime acts like a mechanical stress factor which stimulates the development of degenerative changes in cartilage.
