Quick Bibliography Series

Bibliographies in the Quick Bibliography Series of the National Agricultural Library, are intended primarily for current

awareness, and as the title of the series implies, are not indepth exhaustive bibliographies on any given subject. However,

the citations are a substantial resource for recent investigations on a given topic. They also serve the purpose of bringing the

literature of agriculture to the interested user who, in many cases, could not access it by any other means. The bibliographies

are derived from computerized on-line searches of the AGRICOLA data base. Timeliness of topic and evidence of extensive

interest are the selection criteria.

The author/searcher determines the purpose, length, and search strategy of the Quick Bibliography. Information regarding

these is available upon request from the author/searcher.

Copies of this bibliography may be made or used for distribution without prior approval. The inclusion or omission of a

particular publication or citation may not be construed as endorsement or disapproval.

Adrenal and body temperature changes in rabbits exposed to varying effective

Abstract: Eight adult New Zealand White rabbits were exposed individually, in

series, to each of 23 effective temperatures (teff) until body temperature

(tb) increased 1.1 degree C or for a period of 2 hours. Body temperature was

measured to the nearest 0.1 degree C using FM radio transmitters in the

pre-test (baseline) condition and at 2 minute intervals during the test

conditions where teff ranged between 21.7 and 34.7 degrees C. The frequency at

which the rabbits displayed a 1.1 degree C rise in tb was related to the

magnitude of the teff, with 100% of the rabbits manifesting this change at

teff greater than 30.2 degrees C. At teff of 28.4 through 30.2 degrees C,

some, but not all, of the rabbits showed a 1.1 degree C rise in tb whereas

none displayed the 1.1 degree C rise in tb at teff below 28.4 degrees C. The

mean time necessary for the 1.1 degree C rise in tb was negatively correlated

(P < 0.01) to the magnitude of the teff. The significantly (P < 0.01) elevated

plasma corticosterone in rabbits exhibiting 0.6 degrees C and 1.1 degree C

rise in tb suggests that those animals were stressed physiologically by the

experimental procedure. It is concluded that the conditions associated with

increased tb induce physiological changes commonly associated with stressors

and that the techniques reported herein should be useful in establishing upper

environmental temperature limits for housing rabbits.

Descriptors: Rabbits; Head; Surgical operations

Abstract: Current trends in research on craniofacial syndromes have led to

enhanced interest in the cranial base as a contributory factor in the

development of normal and abnormal midfacial structure. Indeed, attention has

focused upon one particular growth plate in the posterior cranial base, the

sphenooccipital synchondrosis, since it has been shown that alterations in

this structure are associated with profound changes in craniofacial growth. In

this report we describe a surgical approach to the cranial base of the rabbit

that is safe, simple and reliable. It is applicable to neonatal as well as

adult rabbits.

Descriptors: Laboratory animals; Stomach; Morphology; Microscopy

Abstract: Histomorphology of the stomach of mouse, rat, hamster, guineapig,

gerbil, and rabbit was studied. Although a common structural basis existed in

the stomach between these species, the occurrence and distribution of various

cells in gastric glands differed considerably between them. In mice, rats,

hamsters and gerbils, the lower one-third of the glandular lamina propria was

seemingly occupied by a varying proportion of parietal and chief cells. In

rabbits, the predominantly occurring chief cells were distributed in lower

three-quarters of the glands intermingling with parietal cells, but in

guineapigs the chief cells were not discernible. In hamsters, there was,

however, a gradual increase of chief cells from the junction between

nonglandular-glandular stomach toward the pyloric region. In all these

species, parietal cells were the predominant cell type in the upper half to

upper one-third of the gastric glands, often extending up to the neck of the

glands interspersing between mucus neck cells and occasionally between chief

cells.

Abstract: Few safe and effective anesthesia regimens have been described for

use in rabbits, partially because of the susceptibility of this species to

sometimes fatal respiratory depression. Although inhalant anesthetics are

generally safer than injectable anesthetics, their use may be limited by lack

of equipment or facilities. This study was conducted to compare effects of

several injectable anesthetics in rabbits on response to noxious stimuli,

heart rate, respiratory rate, and rectal temperature. Six injectable

anesthetic combinations were administered to rabbits:

xylazine-ethyl-(l-methyl-propyl) malonyl-thio-urea salt (EMTU), ketamine-EMTU,

xylazine-pentobarbital, xylazine-acepromazine-ketamine (XAK), ketamine-chloral

hydrate, and ketamine-xylazine. All combinations induced a depression of

respiratory rate. Although rectal temperature values were reduced to some

degree in each group, the most profound hypothermia was induced by XAK. The

combination that induced the longest duration of anesthesia was XAK. It was

concluded that XAK was preferable for longer periods of anesthesia (60 to 120

minutes), although it induces severe hypothermia. For short periods of

anesthesia, xylazine-pentobarbital, xylazine-EMTU, or ketamine-xylazine were

deemed adequate; however, xylazine-EMTU induced the best survivability and

consistency.

Abstract: Diversification into alternative enterprises appears to be gaining

in popularity and economic importance as a way to supplement family income and

to provide alternative sources of high-quality food. However, potential rabbit

producers lack information about investment requirements and production and

marketing costs. The objective of this study was to determine the most

profitable operation of small-scale rabbit production by estimating the costs

and returns, net present values, and payback periods of two rabbit production

systems. Despite a difference in the net income generated, a cash surplus

occurred for both systems at the end of the third year. This surplus was the

return to land, family labor, and management. Thus, rabbit enterprises may

provide economic opportunities for farm families who have limited land and

capital.

late S phase donor nuclei (G1, early S, and late S transplants, respectively)

was characterized in whole mounts and chromosome spreads. In addition, the

influence of the donor cell cycle stage on chromosome constitution in cleavage

stage-manipulated embryos was determined. Within 2 h after fusion of the donor

blastomere, the recipient oocyte cytoplasm was able to induce formation de

novo of a metaphase plate associated with a spindle in G1, early S, and late S

transplants. Metaphase chromosomes and spindle were intact in most cases of

PCC in G1 transplants. However, these structures displayed minor abnormalities

in early S transplants and gross abnormalities in late S transplants, such as

incomplete or absent spindle formation and incomplete chromatin condensation.

Normal chromosomes were present in G1 and early S transplants, whereas

chromosome abnormalities were detected in late S transplants. The results

indicate that morphology of prematurely condensed G1 and early S chromatin has

a minor influence on chromosome constitution of manipulated embryos. That of

late S chromatin, however, affects chromosome constitution in embryos and may

account for reduced development of nuclear transplant embryos when late S

phase donor nuclei are used.

Abstract: We examined the efficacy of ivermectin in the control of ear mites

(Psoroptes cuniculi) in rabbits. The study involved 40 female and 35 male

rabbits that were known to be naturally infested with ear mites. After a

period of acclimation to the animal care facilities, the rabbits were ranked

on the visual appearance of any ear lesion and the number of mites on

glycerin-dipped ear swabs. The rabbits were then randomly assigned to 1 of 4

treatment groups; vehicle only (group 1), 50 micrograms of ivermectin/kg of

body weight (group 2), 100 micrograms of ivermectin/kg (group 3) and 200

micrograms of ivermectin/kg (group 4). The rabbits were treated by SC

injections on day 0 and day 14 of the trial; thus, the total dose of

ivermectin given to groups 1 through 4, was 0, 100, 200, or 400 micrograms/kg,

respectively. The study ended 2 weeks after the last treatment. Ear lesions of

the treated rabbits improved significantly (P < 0.001). By 28 days after the

first treatment, the mean number of mites on the ear swabs (both ears) was

57.5 for untreated rabbits and 9.1, 0.5, and 2.5, respectively, for rabbits in

groups 2, 3, and 4. The mean number of mites recovered from the ears of the

untreated rabbits at necropsy was 24,297. For groups 2, 3, and 4, the mean

number of mites recovered from the ears was 5,352, 96, and 96, respectively.

The efficacy of treatment with a total dose of 100 micrograms/kg was 77.96%,

with 200 micrograms/kg was 99.61%, and for 400 micrograms/kg was 99.61%.

analgesic properties and reliability as a method of restraint. The

participation of the endogenous opioid system in IR was studied indirectly by

evaluating the effects of the narcotic antagonist naloxone on this phenomenon.

Twenty-four adult New Zealand White rabbits were subjected to six noxious

stimuli while restrained by IR and while restrained under control conditions.

Testing on each animal was repeated under both conditions following the

administration of naloxone. The noxious stimuli consisted of three levels of

electric shock (10 volts, 30 volts, and 50 volts) applied to the shaved

forearm, and mechanical pressure applied to the pinna, front toe, and hind

toe. Withdrawal and changes in blood pressure, heart rate, and respiration

were used as indicators of pain perception. Distress associated with noxious

electrical and pressure stimulation was significantly reduced by IR, which

suggested that the phenomenon does have a significant analgesic component.

However, the rabbits showed wide variability in their susceptibility to IR

induction, and even animals which did not withdraw in response to noxious

stimulation under IR sometimes exhibited physiological changes suggestive of

distress. Therefore, IR should not be considered as a reliable or humane

alternative to analgesic/anesthetic drugs for laboratory rabbits. Naloxone had

little effect on IR or IR-associated analgesia.

Abstract: During a twelve month period of observation, the behavioural

repertoire of group housed rabbits was found to be greatly enhanced compared

with that of singly caged rabbits. Increased space which allowed freedom of

movement in all directions, together with environmental enrichment,

significantly improved the quality of life. The group housed rabbits' ability

to interact with their peers lead to varying amounts of aggression and the

probable establishment of a hierarchical order. This may be disadvantageous

for the lower ranking animals, although perhaps not as disadvantageous as life

in solitary confinement.

Abstract: Atherosclerosis was induced in rabbits by feeding them a 2%

cholesterol diet (CHOL) during a 5-week period. Twelve rabbits were fed with

increasing amounts of CHOL food until the ad libitum level was reached,

whereas in 24 other rabbits the food was limited to the amount eaten by the

lowest consumer of the group to reduce individual variability in total amount

of food consumed. Twice a day, half of the rabbits were handled carefully, the

other half had normal laboratory practice contact with their caretaker. Feed

intake and amount of atherosclerosis were determined for all experimental

animals, while for the handled animals behavioural parameters and changes were

recorded daily and per animal. On average the handled and non-handled rabbits

took the same amount of food per week, although there were large individual

differences. The handled animals showed some behavioural adaptation to being

handled. Handling had no influence on atherosclerosis size; this latter

measure was only roughly determined by the amount of CHOL food eaten.

Abstract: Reproductive abnormalities in New Zealand White rabbits at a large

commercial rabbitry were linked to an excess of dietary retinyl acetate. Fetal

resorptions, abortions, and stillbirths were common in pregnant does.

Examination of aborted and stillborn fetuses disclosed hydrocephalus,

microencephaly, and cleft palate. Analysis of the commercially prepared feed

disclosed a total vitamin A content of 102,278 IU/kg, of which 97,618 IU was

retinyl acetate (recommended total vitamin A concentrations are 6,000 to

12,000 IU/kg). Levels of vitamin A in the plasma of does with reproductive

disorders were 517 to 1,667 ng/ml (normal level is 300 ng/ml), and liver

levels were 2,070 to 12,854 micrograms/g (normal range is 50 to 300

micrograms/g).

Abstract: The effect of beta-carotene on reproduction traits in rabbits was

by using embryo/gene transfer performed at 2 different locations. All of the

bucks and the half of the females were fed a diet supplemented with 40 mg

synthetic beta-carotene (Rovimix)/kg feed. Embryos at the pronucleus stage

were collected 19 to 21 hours after induction of ovulation with human

chorionic gonadotropin (hCG); they were then microinjected into the male

pronucleus and transferred to synchronized recipients. Data were obtained from

the time when the donors and recipients were caged, until the pups resulting

from the embryo transfers were weaned. Supplemented beta-carotene did not

affect most of the 30 traits that were analyzed. However superovulated donors

in Project 2 that received the beta-carotene enriched diet had a 14% lighter

ovary weight (P < 0.05) and less than half of the oocytes were unfertilized (P

< 0.05). In Project 1 (beta-carotene group) there was a greater number of pups

born (36%, P < 0.05) and more of these pups were born alive (53%, P < 0.05).

Abstract: 1. In vivo metabolism of scopolamine was studied in rats, mice,

guinea pigs and rabbits. The structures of eight urinary metabolites including

unchanged drug were elucidated by mass and nuclear magnetic resonance

spectrometry. Determination of these metabolites was achieved by a g.l.c.

method using a semi-capillary column. 2. The major metabolites in rats were

the three phenolic metabolites, p-hydroxy-, m-hydroxy- and

p-hydroxy-m-methoxy-scopolamine. 3. Significant intra-species difference of

the metabolism was observed in rabbits. Tropic acid was the major metabolite

in two rabbits out of three, while the other rabbit excreted mainly unchanged

scopolamine, accompanied by five metabolites. Tropic acid was also the major

metabolite in guinea pigs, but was of minor importance in mice. 4. The

dehydrated metabolites, aposcopolamine and aponorscopolamine, were abundantly

excreted in guinea pigs, moderately in mice, and least in rabbits and rats. 5.

Excretion of glucuronide conjugates of scopolamine and norscopolamine were

high in mice compared with other species. On the other hand, phenolic

metabolites in rat urine, and tropic acid in rabbit and guinea pig urine, were

excreted as the free forms. 6. These results indicate that scopolamine

metabolism is highly species-specific.

Abstract: Blood gas parameters and acid-base balance values were determined

in adult pregnant New Zealand rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) in standard

laboratory housing conditions and during anaesthesia with an association of

ketamine-chlorpromazine, administered before surgical procedures. All the

variables were also studied in adult non-pregnant female, used as controls. No

differences in pH, sO2c, O2Hb, COHb, sO2m and a-vDO2 were found between

pregnant and non-pregnant rabbits in physiological conditions and during

anaesthesia. Ketamine-chlorpromazine and pregnancy seemed to change the other

parameters used to assess the acid-base balance and the oxygenation

conditions. Anaesthesia affected only Hb, O2Ct, O2Cap, C2O2 and P50. The

additive effect of pregnancy and anaesthesia modified pCO2, PO2, HCO3-, TCO2,

Abstract: Plasmids have not been reported for isolates of Pasteurella

multocida from rabbits. We assayed 28 isolates of rabbit P. multocida for

plasmids and sought to determine whether or not plasmid presence correlated

with clinical or pathologic findings, serotype, toxin production, possession

of pili, or biochemical characteristics. Fourteen isolates bore a single 1.6

Md (covalently closed circular form in 0.7% agarose gels) plasmid. An

additional isolate had two plasmids which migrated as a closely-spaced

doublet, centered around 1.6 Md. Eleven isolates appeared to have identical

plasmids, according to Hae III and Hinf I digests. The apparent linear size of

this common plasmid in 2% agarose gels was 2.1 Md, as calculated from the sums

of the sizes of Hae III or Hinf I digestion fragments. Linearization of the

common plasmid with Msp I produced an apparent size of 2.5 Md in 0.7% agarose

gels. No correlations between presence of the common plasmid and somatic

serotype, toxigenicity, presence of pili, antimicrobial resistance, selected

biochemical characteristics, anatomic site from which the bacteria were

cultured, or disease status of the host were found.

Descriptors: Rabbits; Pasteurella multocida; Pasteurellosis; Pathogenicity;

Susceptibility; Breed differences; Disease resistance

Abstract: Pasteurella multocida A:3 was isolated during an outbreak of

pasteurellosis in Flemish Giant (FG) rabbits. Since New Zealand White (NZW)

rabbits housed in the same room were not as severely affected as FG rabbits,

experimental inoculation was undertaken to determine if FG rabbits were more

susceptible than NZW rabbits to pasteurellosis induced by this isolate.

Rabbits of each breed were inoculated with P. multocida A:3 and observed for 3

weeks. Four of 5 FG rabbits developed severe clinical disease on days 6, 9, 12

and 14 after inoculation; whereas, the one affected NZW rabbit became ill 14

days after inoculation. All rabbits with clinical disease developed

fibrinosuppurative pleuritis, pyothorax and pneumonia which was more severe in

FG than NZW rabbits. At necropsy, P. multocida A:3 was isolated from multiple

sites of the diseased rabbits. No significant difference (P = 0.099) in the

prevalence of lesions between the two breeds was found; however, the score of

pneumonia and pleuritis was 3 times greater in FG rabbits than NZW rabbits.

Abstract: Significant physiological variations that could influence

experimental outcomes have been described in laboratory animals following

shipping. The objective of the present study was to monitor a variety of

physiologic parameters in rabbits after shipping, and to evaluate the time

necessary for stabilization of these variables in the new environment. Data

indicate that rabbits develop anorexia, hyperglycemia, neutrophilia,

lymphopenia and elevated plasma cortisol concentrations immediately after

shipping. Most of these effects abate within 2 days after arrival, suggesting

that a minimum stabilization period of 48 hours after shipping is advisable

prior to use of rabbits in experimental paradigms.

Abstract: Although the Draize eye irritation test has provided important and

useful information for eye safety assessments, considerable effort has been

directed toward refining the assay procedure, reducing the number of animals

used, and replacing this assay with alternative methods. The low-volume eye

test (LVET) is a refinement of the Draize eye irritation test that uses 1/10

the volume of test substance placed directly on the cornea. The level and

duration of eye irritation in the LVET are less than those in the Draize

procedure, which means that it is a less stressful test. Furthermore, LVETs

are more predictive of human response. Statistical studies have been conducted

to determine the effects of reducing the number of animals used in the Draize

test. These results suggested that a three-animal test would provide

essentially the same information as the six-animal test. A similar analysis

has not been performed on results from the LVET. Accordingly, the present

study was undertaken to evaluate previously existing LVET data to determine if

the number of animals used in a LVET can be decreased as has been shown for

the Draize test. The results of the analysis are consistent with the findings

of earlier evaluations of classical Draize data. Three-animal subsets from 119

six-animal LVETs provided the correct classification greater than 92% of the

time for three different classification schemes. Furthermore, the

discrepancies between the three-animal subsets and the six-animal maximum

average score tended to be smaller than those observed for the Draize test.

The analysis suggests that a three-animal LVET will provide an eye irritation

classification similar to that obtained from a six-animal study.

Abstract: Extract: Unfractionated gliadin and its alpha, beta, gamma and

omega-gliadin subfractions were used as rabbit immunogens. The antisera were

characterized by (1) Ouchterlony double diffusion, (2) binding of

125I-labelled gliadin subfractions, (3) inhibition by several gliadin

subfractions of binding between gamma-gliadin antiserum and 125I-labelled

gamma-gliadin. Double diffusion showed identical cross-reactivity between the

antisera and the gliadin subfractions with the exception of omega-gliadin.

Precipitin lines of partial identity with gliadin were observed against rye

secalins and barley hordeins but not oat avenins or maize zeins. Binding was

observed between unfractionated 125I-labelled alph-, beta-, gamma-, and

omega-gladians and all the antisera. There was binding of 125I-labelled

omega-gliadin to the omega-gliadin antiserum but poor binding of 125I-labelled

omega-gliadin to unfractionated alpha, beta, and gamma-gliadin antisera.

Competitive inhibition of binding between 125I-labelled gamma-gliadin and

gamma-gliadin antiserum diluted 1:250 (v/v) demonstrated similar competition

between alpha, beta, and gamma-gliadins and this antiserum but poor

competition between omega-gliadin, wheat glutenins, albumins and globulins,

Relationship between nuclear remodeling and development in nuclear transplant

Descriptors: Rabbits; Ova transfer; Blastocyst; Embryonic development

Abstract: The present study characterized the profile of nuclear remodeling

in nuclear transplant rabbit embryos and investigated the relationship between

chromatin behavior after transfer and embryo development. The developmental

potential and pattern of remodeling of donor nuclei from cleavage-, morula-,

and blastocyst- (inner cell mass, ICM, and trophectoderm, TE) stage donors

were evaluated. In addition, we determined whether a modification in the

synchrony between blastomere fusion and oocyte activation altered the profile

of nuclear remodeling and affected development of reconstituted embryos.

Development to blastocysts similar with 8- and 32-cell-stage donor nuclei (42%

and 33%, respectively, p > 0.1). However, it was reduced with ICM transplants

(17%, p < 0.05), and development of TE transplants did not progress beyond the

8-cell stage. Upon blastomere fusion into nonactivated oocyte cytoplasm,

nuclear remodeling was characterized by premature chromosome condensation

(PCC), followed by pronuclear (PN) formation and swelling. PCC occurred

synchronously within 1.2-1.5 h post-fusion with all stages of donor nuclei (p

> 0.1). PN formation in 8- and 32-cell transplants occurred approximately 4 h

after fusion, and was synchronous to that of female pronuclei in activated

oocytes; however, it was delayed in ICM and TE transplants (p < 0.01). With

all stages of donor nuclei, final nuclear diameter was similar to, or larger

than, that of female pronuclei. Fusion to activated oocyte cytoplasm, as

opposed to nonactivated cytoplasm, prevented PCC and extensive nuclear

swelling (16.0 +/- 0.7 vs. 30 +/- 0.7 micromole, respectively, p < 0.01).

Nuclear diameter in early embryos was smaller (p < 0.01), and development to

blastocysts was reduced (p < 0.05). The results indicate that remodeling of

the donor nucleus is not essential for development to blastocysts; however, it

is beneficial. Furthermore, complete reprogramming seems possible only after

remodeling of the donor nucleus, i.

Abstract: Enhancing the psychological well-being of laboratory animals has

received much attention recently. Although many studies have been undertaken

to determine the effects of cage enrichment techniques on dogs and nonhuman

primates, other than scant empirical observations, little has been done to

measure these events objectively in lagomorphs. We studied adult female New

Zealand White (NZW) rabbits to learn if, when given the opportunity,

individual rabbits would use different enrichment objects placed in their

cages, and to determine if rabbits preferred to be in proximity to one

another, or apart. Three different objects were evaluated with eight rabbits

individually housed in conventional cages. Each object introduced into

individual rabbit cages stimulated substantial interaction, especially chewing

behavior. Eight other rabbits were pair-housed in a modified caging system

with a special access port between two separate cages. When given a choice,

rabbits preferred to be in the same cage with other rabbits. In both studies,

individual behaviors were monitored, as well as either the type of interaction

and percentage of observations spent with each object or, in the housing

study, percentage of observations involved with different types of activity,

and relative location of the paired rabbits.

Abstract: The potential advantage of corporate vigilance to rabbit,

Oryctolagus cuniculus, groups was studied in free-ranging rabbits that

associated and cohabited basically in male-female 'consorting' pairs. Evening

observations were conducted of rabbits during the breeding season. Levels of

vigilance of an individual rabbit during feeding decreased with proximity to

that rabbit's 'consort'. In contrast, rabbits increased their vigilance in the

presence of greater numbers of non-consort rabbits either nearby or over 12 m

away. An experiment using stuffed animals as stimulus objects indicated that

the presence of a strange rabbit or of a fox increased the proportion of time

that rabbits spent vigilant. Non-social factors also influenced vigilance and

feeding. In particular, vigilance decreased as the evening proceeded and with

higher temperature. For bucks only, it also decreased as the season advanced.

Spontaneous and odour-induced chin marking in domestic female rabbits.

Descriptors: Rabbits; Odors; Marking; Communication between animals;

Ovariectomized females; Light regime; Estrus; Sexual behavior

Abstract: In the European rabbit, Oryctolagus cuniculus, chin marking is one

of the most conspicuous forms of olfactory communication. In an investigation

of factors influencing the expression of this behaviour in females, the

marking frequency of seven intact and three ovariectomized does was tested

over a 12-month period by placing them individually for 10 min each day in an

arena containing three bricks. In the intact does but not in the

ovariectomized ones, the frequency of chinning was increased by experimental

long days and suppressed by experimental short days within 1-2 weeks of

reversing the light regime. These changes were accompanied by clear

alterations in the size and colour of the vulva, indicating that oestrus was

also suppressed under the short-day conditions. However, presenting does with

bricks marked by donor animals resulted in a significant increase in the

frequency of chinning independent of photoperiod. Moreover, does appeared to

distinguish between donors, directing marks preferentially to bricks marked by

males rather than females, bricks marked by long-day rather than short-day

donors, and those marked with chin gland secretion rather than with donors'

urine or with carrot or lemon juice. Thus, while the finding that chinning

activity was positively correlated with oestrus is consistent with the

hypothesis that in females this behaviour is a form of sexual advertisement,

the differential response shown to the chin marks of individual donors, even

by non-oestrous does, suggests other, non-sexual functions for the

chemosignals in chin gland secretion.

Abstract: An assessment was made of the effects of topical application of a

eutectic mixture of local anaesthetics (EMLA cream) in a number of species of

laboratory animals. Application of EMLA cream enabled percutaneous insertion

of catheters into the cephalic vein in dogs and cats and the marginal ear vein

in rabbits without causing any detectable pain or discomfort. Application to

the tail in rats prior to percutaneous cannulation of the lateral tail vein

did not produce a significant reduction in the behavioural responses to

for intravenous injection in some species, and is especially valuable when the

procedure is to be undertaken by an inexperienced operator.

Descriptors: Rabbits; Dogs; Euthanasia; Equipment; Methodology; Animal welfare

Abstract: The penetrative captive bolt pistol was tested on dogs (Canis

familiaris) and rabbits (Oryctolagus cunniculi) to assess if it is a humane

method of euthanasia to use when a physical method is required. The bolt was

placed directly on the skull at the intersection of lines drawn from the

lateral canthus of each eye to the opposite ear, and fired. In all cases,

consciousness appeared to be lost immediately as evidenced by motoric collapse

of the animal and loss of the corneal reflex. The only movement noted appeared

to be reflex in nature. In order to determine the time of onset of brain

death, the auditory evoked potential (AEP) and electroencephalogram (EEG) were

measured in dogs. Within 15 seconds after firing the pistol, organized AEP

activity could not be detected above the medulla and EEG activity became

isoelectric. These findings suggest that cerebral death occurred almost

immediately and, therefore, the captive bolt pistol is a humane method of

euthanasia.

Infusion

Abstract: Although rabbit ear vessels are readily accessible, the veins can

collapse and thrombose after multiple venipunctures, and the artery may

undergo vasospasm when repeatedly catheterized. Twenty-two male and female New

Zealand White rabbits were cannulated with the catheter tip located in the

jugular vein. The mean life of the port was noted to be approximately 3.5

months, with ranges of 3 days to 10 months. With proper maintenance and care,

vascular access ports are a useful alternative to multiple venipuncture for

long-term studies, thereby sparing marginal and central vessels and minimizing

stress to both animals and investigators.
