Two schemes for estrous synchronization with a controlled internal drug releasing device (CIDR) were compared in a herd of 17 zebu cows. In the first stage, 3 subgroups were formed at random (n = 6, 6, and 5, respectively) and synchronized at 2-day intervals. All 3 subgroups received the same treatment. In the second stage, 25 days after CIDR withdrawal of the last subgroup, the treatment each subgroup...
Given that veterinary care involves both animal patients and human clients, it becomes necessary to find ways to improve not only one’s veterinary medical skills, but also one’s interpersonal abilities. Literature that discusses the communication and interpersonal aspects of veterinary medicine is neither widely available nor current; therefore, this article draws parallels from the systemic field...
Temporal weaning is a common practice to reduce the calving interval. Behavioral responses of calves to short-term separation and subsequent reunion with their mothers were measured. Twenty-seven zebu-type cow-calf pairs were assigned to 1 of 3 groups. Calves in the first group were separated from their dams for 72 hours (FC) using a fence. Calves in this group had some contact with their mothers...
The putative effects of a tryptic bovine αs1-casein hydrolysate on anxious disorders in cats was investigated. This product is known as alpha-casozepine and patented under the name of Zylkene (Ingredia, Arras, France). Within veterinary practices, 34 cats were recruited by certified behaviorist surgeons. This 56-day trial against placebo showed the statistically positive effect of this product in...
The following letter was in response to the In Brief: Practice and Procedure, JVB: CAR, Vol 2, Issue 1, The role and limitations of trainers in behavior treatment and therapy, Andrew U. Luescher PhD, DACVB, DECVBM-CA, Gerrard Flannigan DVM, MSc, DACVB, Diane Frank DVM, DACVB, and Petra Mertens FTAV, CAAB, DECVBM-CA, DACVB.
The letters included here were stimulated by the discussions of the roles of trainers and other nonveterinarians in the care of pets with behavioral problems, published in previous issues of Journal of Veterinary Behavior: Clinical Applications and Research. These letters were sent as part of an e-mail exchange, and with the permission of all authors, the letters have been slightly modified to meet...
