The Ethogram: Quantifying the Behavioral Picture and Justifying the Severity of Diseases-Juniper Publishers

Journal of Dairy & Veterinary Sciences- Juniper Publishers

 
 

Introduction

Ethogram is an expression of behavior in an objective rather than subjective way [1,2]. The digital value for a prepared ethogram is considered acute edge for different forms of a specific disease (from per-acuteness to chronicity). This opinion is focusing on the necessity of preparing an ethogram for the behavior of animal and birds in health (e.g. comfort behaviors) and diseases [2]. We will emphasize the customized ethogram in experimentally-induced infected animal or natural diseases or affections. In addition, ethogram can be used in detection of different forms of abnormal behaviors such as stereo types [3].
Many reports referredto several diseasesthat can be diagnosed by their behavioral picture e.g. Milk fever, Nymphomania [4]. We characterized the range of observed behaviors. The best way to generalize is to summarize the average of behaviors from many individual. So selecting small sized animals like laboratory mice will be helpful to observe a number of individuals. Here in we show in Table 1, an ethogram customized in chronically order for mice infected with Toxoplasma gondii [5,6]. In Table 2 we describe the severity of inflammation in terms of consistency and content of droppings in a chicken received an enema of trinitrobenzene of sulphonic acid [7]. In Table 3 display the behavioral picture due to unilateral or bilateral pressing of the horn on the head of rams and bucks [8].

Conclusion

Customizing ethograms for diseases based on clinical examination manuals for farm animals e.g. Infectious diseases in laboratory animals or for diseases models in laboratory animals (e.g. Diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis etc.) based on published articles and standard protocols, and laboratories manuals

Review on the Reproductive Health Problem of Dairy Cattle-Juniper Publishers

Image
JUNIPER PUBLISHERS - OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF DAIRY & VETERINARY SCIENCES Abstract Reproductive disorders have been found to be a major reason for decreased reproductive efficiency in cattle and consequently reproductive efficiency is the major determinant of lifetime productivity of cows. Among the major reproductive problems that have direct impact on reproductive performance of dairy cows are abortion, dystocia, retained fetal membrane (RFM), pyometra, metritis, prolapse (uterine and vaginal), anoestrus, repeat breeding and these results, in considerable economic loss to the dairy industry due to slower uterine involution, reduced reproductive rate, prolonged inter-conception and calving interval, negative effect on fertility, increased cost of medication, drop in milk production, reduced calf crop and early depreciation of potentially useful cows. It is very difficult to diagnose those problems by one particular disorder or symptom because there is interrelatio

JUNIPER PUBLISHERS - OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF DAIRY & VETERINARY SCIENCES   Abstract The present study was conducted in six villages of Narayanganj and Niwas blocks of Mandla District. Data were collected through a structured interview schedule by personal interview method. For integration of Narmada Nidhi among tribal women SHGs extension interventions like awareness camps, exposure visits and trainings on poultry management were organized in the study areas. After proper extension interventions, 06 self- help-groups were formed and each group was provided with 50 Narmada Nidhi chickens to empower them. The study data revealed that, extension interventions lead to improvement in knowledge and attitude change among the members of SHGs. The each tribal SHGs were economically benefitted as they received an average income of Rs.17,032 during the 8 months study period. Proper extension strategies like awareness campaigns, exposure visits and training helps in capacity bui
