Metabolic and Biomolecular Changes Induced by Incremental Long-Term Training in Young Thoroughbred Racehorses during First Workout Season
| Contributor(s):: Arianna Miglio, Katia Cappelli, Stefano Capomaccio, Samanta Mecocci, Maurizio Silvestrelli, Maria Teresa Antognoni
Training has a huge effect on physiological homeostasis. The Thoroughbred racehorse is a valid animal model to investigate such changes for training schedule fine-tuning. As happens in human athletes, it is hypothesized that biochemical and immune response changes and related biomolecular...

Hibernation Patterns of the European Hedgehog, Erinaceus europaeus, at a Cornish Rescue Centre
| Contributor(s):: Kathryn E. South, Kelly Haynes, Angus C. Jackson
The European hedgehog, Erinaceus europaeus, is frequently admitted to rescue centres in the UK. With many overwintering in captivity, there is cause to investigate hibernation patterns in order to inform and improve husbandry and monitoring protocols. Thirty-five hedgehogs were studied...

Alienation, Modernization, and Animal Welfare: Human-Animal Relationships at the Farm, State, and Country Levels
| Contributor(s):: Briscoe, Michael D.
Our relationships with animals are important for us as humans, for the environment, and for the animals themselves. In this dissertation I look at the relationships between humans and animals at three scales: farm, U.S. state, and country. Specifically, I address how factors like economic...

Effects of Metabolic Cage Housing on Rat Behavior and Performance in the Social Interaction Test
| Contributor(s):: Whittaker, Alexandra L., Lymn, Kerry A., Howarth, Gordon S.
Although the metabolic cage is commonly used for housing nonhuman animals in the laboratory, it has been recognized as constituting a unique stressor. Such an environment would be expected to affect behavioral change in animals housed therein. However, few studies have specifically addressed the...

Individual differences in metabolism predict coping styles in fish
| Contributor(s):: Martins, Catarina I. M., Castanheira, Maria F., Engrola, Sofia, Costas, Benjamín, Conceição, Luís E. C.
Studies on metabolism usually rely on measurements of oxygen consumption obtained in respirometry chambers. Despite rigorous standardization there is still considerable inter-individual variation in metabolic rates which is often ignored. Furthermore, housing in respirometry chambers implies...

Oxygen consumption and swimming performance in Arctic charr with different pigmentation patterns
| Contributor(s):: Magnhagen, Carin, Backström, Tobias, Nilsson, Jan, Brännäs, Eva
Pigmentation in animals often reflects behavioural and physiological traits, such as health status, stress responsiveness, and dominance. Individual variation in stress response and behaviour has earlier been proposed to be connected to differences in metabolism. The aim of this study was to...

Behavioural responses of pasture based dairy cows to short term management in tie-stalls
| Contributor(s):: Enriquez-Hidalgo, Daniel, Teixeira, Dayane Lemos, Lewis, Eva, Buckley, Frank, Boyle, Laura, O’Driscoll, Keelin
Dairy cows in experimental grazing herds are often confined for metabolic measurements. The objective of this study was to establish effects of transfer from pasture, to tie-stalls in a metabolism house, then back to pasture, on lying behaviour and locomotion score of lactating cows:...

The effects of metabolic cage housing and sex on cognitive bias expression in rats
| Contributor(s):: Barker, T. H., Howarth, G. S., Whittaker, A. L.
The use of metabolic cages is established housing protocol in small-animal, gastrointestinal research. Physiological data, as primarily observed through secretions of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis has shown that rodents housed in this manner experience an increased stress...
