The antimicrobial effect of light at specific wavelengths is currently used for sanitation procedures in various types facilities. aim this study was to verify the bactericidal and fungicidal activity 405 nm as a safer alternative ultraviolet C (UVC) radiation that could be disinfection animal housing. Commercially available lamp located experimental room emit radiation. For most bacterial species tested, there no decrease colony forming units after 8-h 24-h Significant ( P < 0.01)...
The aim of this study was the direct detection feline coronavirus by real-time PCR and three different rapid immunochromatographic (RIM) tests detecting antigens in faecal samples shelter cats. Based on sensitivity specificity calculated for each RIM tests, utility compared. Seventy originating from cats housed quarantine were examined. Out 70 analyzed PCR, 44 (62.9%) positive. Significantly more (p < 0.05) tested positive than negative. Neither age nor sex played a significant role >...
Correctly selecting disinfection procedures is crucial in facilities housing a high number of animals as it directly affects their health. The aim this study was to verify the virucidal effect gaseous ozone delivered by commercially available generators under controlled experimental conditions on selection viral pathogens (feline coronavirus, canine feline calicivirus, parvovirus) commonly found shelters and other facilities. Two with outputs 3.5 g/h 20 were used produce ozone. Virus...
Animal protection, which also comprises the subject of abandoned and stray animals, has become a pressing widely discussed topic. The aim this study was to compare dogs cats from two shelters in selected region Czech Republic, based on factors that affect length stay. following were analyzed: outcome, sex, age, purebred status. A total 419 2580 housed monitored 2013 2016 included analysis. results show (n = 1343; 52.1%) are returned their owners significantly more often (p < 0.001) than 10;...
The aim of this study was to detect changes in health-oriented welfare indicators shelter cats housed a by means long-term monitoring health population group-housed private, no-kill the Czech Republic. cat large group monitored for 1 year. data recording took place at 2-week intervals. A total 220 were evaluated using protocol containing eight indicators: body condition, third eye visibility, discharge, irritation, nose presence pathologically induced respiratory sounds, coat and lameness...
Introduction:The nociception induced during surgical procedures may be related to the development of complications such as chronic pain.The use regional anesthesia is effective in reduction.The quadratus lumborum block an adjuvant perioperative analgesia cats' ovariectomy.Parasympathetic Tone Activity (PTA) used veterinary quantify nociception-antinociception and was measure relative parasympathetic sympathetic balance.Objectives: To evaluate performance ultrasound-guided reducing activation...
Awareness of the causes mortality in shelter cats can contribute to its effective reduction. The aim this study was investigate cat shelters Czech Republic, taking into account age animals and their length stay facilities until natural death or euthanasia. A cooperation with two private no-kill Republic established. subject were records 3047 admitted selected period from 2013 2023. total 357 (11.7 %) out died had be euthanized monitored shelters. No significant difference (
The survival of captive-reared pheasants in the wild depends primarily on their ability to avoid predators, therefore, need maintain innate anti-predatory behaviour. aim this study was assess effects age and disturbance tonic immobility (TI) ( Phasianus colchicus ) kept a commercial rearing facility. TI tests were performed aged 8, 10, 12, 14 16 weeks. Randomly selected same tested either immediately after capture (group C) or exposure various stimuli/disturbance D). No significant...
Maintaining appropriate living conditions and good health of the animals should be one main priorities cat shelters. The aim this study was to assess morbidity shelter cats on basis analysis records in terms nature quantity medicaments other supportive products administered two no-kill shelters Czech Republic. subject were 1,884 cats, which admitted selected from 1.1.2013 31.12.2021 their stay terminated monitored period. More than half all whose analyzed had at least record made during...
The aim of the study was to assess impact social isolation rats in post-weaning period using behavioural tests aimed at assessing cognitive function, anxiety, and depressive-like behaviours. monitoring performed male Wistar which were housed after weaning either individually (n = 8) or pairs for 33 days. In open field, kept reared less often ( P < 0.05) than pair-housed rats. elevated plus-maze test, entered arm more frequently 0.002) stayed closed 0.019) compared isolation. forced swim...
In laboratory rats, dominance manifests as agonistic behaviour that damages social bonds between individuals. this study, the effect of housing system and environmental enrichment on in male Wistar rats was assessed tube test. Rats were housed different systems (individual vs. housing, with or without enrichment) from weaning tested at age 7 weeks. each test, two released into opposite ends a narrow rat forced its opponent out declared winner (the more dominant animal). way, all possible...
