Abstract

Background: When animals get sick, their owners use a variety of means to treat them. One of the means is the use of antibiotics. However, antibiotics are used for several other reasons that are not therapeutic based. The result is the development of antimicrobial resistance, some of which is passed to humans during the period of treatment. Purpose: The aim of the study was to explore the transmission of the resistance to antimicrobials to human beings during the treatment of camels using Tylosin in Saudi Arabia. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive method using the survey research design. Structured questionnaires were ...

Cloning is the process that a cell or an organism is produced asexually; meaning that no sex is involved in their formation and the product is identical to a specific ancestor. Animal cells are cloned simply because they can be produced from one fertilized cell and they are also genetically identical. In simpler terms, cloning is the process of producing many duplicate cells of an organism. In some cases, cloning is a natural process shown bacteria which are single celled, as well as identical twins in human beings and mammals. The process is also made possible to the animals ...

Introduction

Every day people consume meat as food, and no individuals wonder if they eat organic beef, pork, lamb, mutton, chicken, or their cloned counterparts. This question arouses genuine interest, because citizens are mainly unaware of such a type of food for consumption. It should be noted that cloned animals, or clones, appear as a result of asexual reproduction of animals, using somatic cell nuclear transfer (Lee et al., 2012, p. 389). Cattle began to be cloned as early as in 1998, and farm animals are regarded ...

Ivermectin

Abstract Ivermectin is a group of medicinal drugs under the larger group of avermectins. It was first discovered in the early 1970’s and accepted for use in the 1980’s in veterinary medicine applications and later for human conditions treatment. Biosynthesis of ivermectin is done from the primary compound avermectin and was discovered by a group of scientists who were led by Professor Satoshi Omura (Eng). The results of their research were later forwarded to the MSD research laboratories which isolated the compound avermectin from the sampled soil that was studied. Synthesis of avermectin results into eight main ...

Abstract

The current paper talks about TNR (trap-neuter-release) program. It is a program where un-owned free roaming cats are trapped, surgically sterilized, and treated. The sterilization is done to reduce population. Different reviews by different authors on the matter are looked into in this paper. The paper focuses on the different advantages and disadvantages of the process. Despite it being a humane way of controlling free-roaming cats, it is deemed ineffective. The roaming cats pose a public health risk to humans and other animals. They also predate on the wildlife in the environs, such as birds, reptiles, and other small ...

What are veterinary biologics? Are all veterinary products regulated by USDA? Discuss the pros and cons of this approach (i.e. having all veterinary products regulated by the USDA or not, dependending on your answer) Essentially, veterinary biologics are toxins, serums, and viruses of synthetic or natural origins, and they may include diagnostics, vaccines, killed microorganisms, antitoxins, and modified organisms, among others (United States Department of Agriculture, 2013). Yes, the USDA monitors and regulates the movement of all veterinary products distributed within the U.S. or imported into the U.S. Ideally, this approach has its benefits and disadvantages. The primary advantage ...

Regulation of Veterinary Biologics (Question 2)

Animal feeds will be one of the most difficult veterinary biologics that can be regulated. The primary reason for this is because animal feeds are the primary source of food for some animals, including those that are being consumed by humans. Regulation agencies must make sure that these products contain minimum or proper amounts of harmful chemical to avoid development of pathogens which might cause illnesses. In addition to this, people have different perspectives about technology-modified products (Hoban, 2004) and this adds further to the difficulty of regulating the products in terms of consumer preferences. Even though there are ...

Human beings often seek the companionship of animals and have been known to develop strong emotional bonds with them over long term interactions. Of all domesticated animals, cats and dogs are known to be the most popular pets. While cat owners and dogs owners can indulge in a never ending debate about which animal makes a better pet, cats and dogs themselves have several similarities and even more dissimilarities.

Once one goes beyond these similarities, cats and dogs are full of differences. To begin with, cats have retractable claws that allows them to stay sharp, while a dog’s claws are not retractable ...

Being a good listener can seem like an easy thing to do. Many people believe that the mere act of having ears means that they are doing their job to show that they are listening. They think to themselves, “I am a person who can hear. How could anybody think I am not listening to them?!” But just having ears is not all there is to being a good listener; it takes much more. There are things such as eye contact, nonverbal communication, and gestures that can let a person know that you are listening. In settings such as a hospital or a veterinary clinic ...

Disease Surveillance Requirements in Australia

While much has been hypothesized regarding disease surveillance, it is of the essence to note that this occurs as one of the fundamental components of animal health services. This may be attributed to the fact that disease surveillance offers a comprehensive platform that provides warning on impending disease outbreaks. On a similar note, disease surveillance offers a viable platform that allows for planning, implementation and monitoring of a wider array of disease control programs. In a nutshell, disease surveillance is important for emergency preparedness for any animal disease. A close analysis of the Australian contexts depicts the existence of a robust animal disease surveillance program, ...

Millions of animals undergo distressing scientific procedures, and some of these can be very painful. Does the Legislation of animal experimentation under modern societies make the issue ethically acceptable? The “3Rs” concept focuses on the efforts to replace, reduce and refine the animal testing and experiments. There is a continuing debate going on ethical issues of the use of animal in scientific experiments (Kolar111-22). Animal testing is nothing new in the society, and it has been done since centuries. The animals have been used in different researchers working in the areas of health and food. Earlier, the animals have been ...

Zoos are an important and highly valued cultural institution of the civilized world; the 10,000 zoos found around the world are often claimed to be responsible for many of the conditions by which we learn about wildlife, ecology and a number of other attributes (Paskesen, 2014). To that end, the idea of releasing animals from zoos would change a fundamental aspect of our civilization, particularly regarding the welfare of animals. However, given more recent, modern concerns about the welfare of animals, and the reevaluation about the utility and benefits of zoos as a sanctuary for endangered species, it may be necessary ...

Stem cells can be referred to as undifferentiated biological cells, which can form specialized cell when they differentiate and have the ability to divide to form more stem cells. Research scientists have discovered a number of potential applications of the stem cells. For instance, mesenchymal stem cells are presently being tried as a potential treatment for graft versus host disease as well as graft rejection. This is after trials on a number of animals demonstrating that treatments with allogenic stem cell were not rejected and demonstrated no difference in capabilities to heal as compared to autologous stem cells. This possibility is under ...

This paper argues about the shutdown of SeaWorld; SeaWorld is a mammal theme park, located in the United States. Sea World is a theme park dedicated to the underwater world. Unlike other parks, Sea World is not divided into zones. Here each attraction has its own name and theme. SeaWorld Parks and Entertainment maintains one of the largest collections of marine animals in the United States. It provides care to as many as 67,000 animals including marine and terrestrial. In the wild, marine animals live in large social groups and swim up to 100 miles a day. However, at SeaWorld, Orcas ...

Breed-specific legislation is the restriction of and legislation regarding certain breeds of dog, often dogs that are considered violent, dangerous, or erratic in their behaviors (Collier, 2006). Proponents of breed-specific legislation point out that there are certain types of dogs that are most frequently used in dogfighting rings, and that these dogs are more likely to be dangerous to the general public. However, research has shown repeatedly that this is not the case; breed-specific legislation and controls on the breeding of dogs (excluding dog-wild canine hybrids)is nothing more than a reactionary response to perceived social ills that have little ...

Water Contaminants from Pharmaceuticals and Chemical Industries

Water Contaminants from Pharmaceuticals and Chemical Industries

Abstract

In industrial processes, the generation of waste waters is unavoidable sometimes. It is therefore important to develop process for decontaminating this water. The treatment of toxic effluent that contains pharmaceutical and industrial chemicals cannot be satisfactorily attained through the use of conventional processes. Advanced oxidation processes (AOP) have been very vital and successful in their application to degrade these toxic compounds found in water. The high generation of extremely powerful oxidizing agent like the hydroxyl radical forms the back bone of the AOPs. This method is capable of destroying organic compounds until ...

Abstract

Trichomonas gallinae, a flagellated protozoan, adversely affects the avian livestock, particularly the columbids. It causes an infection called necrotic ingluvitis and the disease can range from asymptomatic to lethal. The parasite affects the anterior gastrointestinal tract of the bird, forms granulomatous lesions, and blocks the oesophagus, making the bird starve, thus leading to death. The virulence of the strain varies with some strains causing up to 75% mortality. In UK, the infection was first recognized as an emerging infectious disease of British finches in summer of 2005. The sick dead birds exhibited signs of malaise such as lethargy and fluffed-up ...

Introduction

The emergence of real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays was much of a relief in the medical field especially given the fact that this model offers the most accurate way in the process of determining false-negative outcomes (Burggraf & Olgemoller, 2004).This ideology also finds support in the works of Nolte (2004) who asserts that, following the discovery of PCR and its application in a clinical setting, it has become possible to use nucleic acid amplification methods as transitions from research to clinical laboratories. This makes it possible to have a wide array of application in addressing issues relating to genetics, pharmacology, oncology ...

Health, narrative paragraph

Scientists define health as is metabolic efficiency or a functional level of living organisms. At length, they refer to health as the condition of a human’s body and mind, often used to mean that humans are free from injury, illness and eventually pain. Usually, the World health Organization define health as a condition of complete social, mental, and physical being, at the same time they say that health is not just absence of an infirmity or disease. Most of the time, many people have subjected this health definition as a controversy. First, some health doctors claim that the definition lacks operational ...

The early warning system of rinderpest disease

The early and accurate warning of a disease outbreak is very essential. Especially in the new areas, this is because it becomes very possible to control and contain the disease. Most of the global disease spread has been attributed to the poor disease surveillance. This becomes very hard to control the disease at its source. Early warning makes it possible to survey and improve the awareness. Common problems manifested in the early warning systems include, the lack of the farmer awareness, disease reporting usually is passive. Coordination of the field and the laboratory veterinary service sometimes becomes hard and also, ...
