  Title Feldstudie zur Epidemiologie und Bekämpfung von Strongyliden in Pferdebeständen im Raum Baden- Württemberg Type Manuscript
  Year 2011 Publication Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords (up)  
  Abstract In der Zeit von April 2005 bis März 2006 wurden bei 105 Pferden monatlich

koprologische Untersuchungen durchgeführt. Die Pferde waren zu zwei Drittel

Jungtiere (≤ 4 Jahre) und ein Drittel > 4 Jahre. Die zur Verfügung stehenden vier

Betriebe befanden sich alle im Raum Baden-Württemberg.

Die Kotproben wurden mit Hilfe der Flotation auf Magen-Darmnematoden untersucht

und anschließend einer quantitativen Eizahlbestimmung nach Mc Master unterzogen.

Ab einem Eigehalt von 250 Eiern pro Gramm Kot (EpG) wurden die Pferde

entsprechend der Gruppenzugehörigkeit entweder mit Pyrantel oder Ivermectin

behandelt.

Es wurden bei 73 Pferden ausschließlich Strongylideneier nachgewiesen; bei vier

Pferden waren in der Flotation zusätzlich Eier von Parascaris equorum zu finden.

Bei 28 (26,7%) der untersuchten Pferde wurden in keiner der 12 untersuchten

Proben Eier von Magen-Darmnematoden nachgewiesen. Insgesamt mussten

57 (54,3%) der Pferde über den gesamten Untersuchungszeitraum hinweg nicht

behandelt werden. 48 (45,7%) Pferde mussten mindestens einmal anthelminthisch

behandelt werden. Kein Pferd musste häufiger als dreimal behandelt werden.

In den Monaten August bis November war der Anteil an positiven Proben der

Jungtiere signifikant höher als bei den Pferden > 4 Jahre. Innerhalb der

Jungtiergruppe nahm die Höhe der Strongyliden-Eiausscheidung mit zunehmendem

Alter signifikant ab.

Ebenso nahm die Anzahl der positiven Proben im Laufe des

Untersuchungszeitraums signifikant ab.

Die beiden zur Entwurmung eingesetzten Substanzen (Pyrantel und Ivermectin)

waren voll wirksam. In 98,8% der untersuchten Proben war ein Rückgang der

Ei-Ausscheidung noch vier Wochen nach der Behandlung auf 0 EpG nachweisbar,

d. h. es gab keinerlei Anzeichen für das Vorliegen von Resistenzen gegen die

eingesetzten Substanzen.

Die vorliegenden Untersuchungen sind ein weiterer Beweis dafür, dass mit Hilfe der

selektiven anthelminthischen Behandlung die Anzahl der Entwurmungen –

insbesondere auch bei Jungtieren – deutlich gesenkt werden kann.

Die Eiausscheidung und damit die Weidekontamination werden mit Hilfe dieses

Verfahrens deutlich reduziert.

[Between April 2005 and March 2006 monthly koprological examinations where

carried out on 105 horses.

Two third of the horses were young animals (≤ 4 years) and a third were > 4 years

old.

The four farms on hand were all located in the Baden- Württemberg area.

Faecal samples were examined for gastro-intestinal nematodes by means of flotation

and subsequently subjected to an egg-quantity counting according to Mc Master.

Starting from an egg content of 250 eggs per gram faeces (EpG), the horses were

treated with either Pyrantel or Ivermectin according to their group affiliation.

In 73 horses solely Strongyle eggs were detected; the flotation of four horses

additionaly showed eggs of Parascaris equorum.

In 28 (26,7%) of the examined horses none of the 12 examined samples showed

eggs of gastro-intestinal nematodes.

Overall 57 (54,3%) horses didn´t need any treatment during the total examination

cycle. 48 (45,7%) of the horses needed at least one anthelminthic treatment.

None of the horses needed to be treated more than three times.

From August to November the rate of positive samples within the group of young

animals was significantly higher than in the horses > 4 years.

Whithin the group of young animals the level of Strongyle egg excretions dropped

significantly with advancing age.

Likewise, the number of positive samples also dropped significantly in the course of

the examination cycle.

Both substances (Pyrantel and Ivermectin) applied for deworming were fully effective.

Even a further 4 weeks after treatment the examined sample showed a drop of egg

excretion to 0 EpG in 98,8% of the samples, in other words there were no signs of

prevailing resistance appearances towards the applied substance.

The present studies are further proof that the number of dewormings-especially in

young animals can be distinctly reduced by means of selective anthelminthic

treatments.

Egg excretion and therewith pasture land contamination can be clearly reduced by

means of this procedure.]

  Title Empathy and Pro-Social Behavior in Rats Type Journal Article
  Year 2011 Publication Science Abbreviated Journal Science  
  Volume 334 Issue 6061 Pages 1427-1430  
  Keywords (up)  
  Abstract Whereas human pro-social behavior is often driven by empathic concern for another, it is unclear whether nonprimate mammals experience a similar motivational state. To test for empathically motivated pro-social behavior in rodents, we placed a free rat in an arena with a cagemate trapped in a restrainer. After several sessions, the free rat learned to intentionally and quickly open the restrainer and free the cagemate. Rats did not open empty or object-containing restrainers. They freed cagemates even when social contact was prevented. When liberating a cagemate was pitted against chocolate contained within a second restrainer, rats opened both restrainers and typically shared the chocolate. Thus, rats behave pro-socially in response to a conspecific�s distress, providing strong evidence for biological roots of empathically motivated helping behavior.

  Title Measuring stress in wildlife: techniques for quantifying glucocorticoids Type Journal Article
  Year 2011 Publication Oecologia Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 166 Issue 4 Pages 869-887  
  Keywords (up)  
  Abstract Stress responses play a key role in allowing animals to cope with change and challenge in the face of both environmental certainty and uncertainty. Measurement of glucocorticoid levels, key elements in the neuroendocrine stress axis, can give insight into an animal’s well-being and can aid understanding ecological and evolutionary processes as well as conservation and management issues. We give an overview of the four main biological samples that have been utilized [blood, saliva, excreta (feces and urine), and integumentary structures (hair and feathers)], their advantages and disadvantages for use with wildlife, and some of the background and pitfalls that users must consider in interpreting their results. The matrix of choice will depend on the nature of the study and of the species, on whether one is examining the impact of acute versus chronic stressors, and on the degree of invasiveness that is possible or desirable. In some cases, more than one matrix can be measured to achieve the same ends. All require a significant degree of expertise, sometimes in obtaining the sample and always in extracting and analyzing the glucocorticoid or its metabolites. Glucocorticoid measurement is proving to be a powerful integrator of environmental stressors and of an animal’s condition.

  Title ‘Queen of the world’: experiences of ‘at-risk’ young people participating in equine-assisted learning/therapy Type Journal Article
  Year 2011 Publication Journal of Social Work Practice Abbreviated Journal Journal of Social Work Practice  
  Volume 25 Issue 02 Pages 165-183  
  Keywords (up)  
  Abstract There is a significant body of research into the benefits of animal-assisted therapy (AAT) but less into the fields known as equine-assisted learning and therapy (EAL/EAT) where horses are incorporated in therapeutic and learning interventions. This paper explores the experiences of seven ?at-risk? young people who participated in a therapeutic horsemanship (TH) programme. The study followed a practice-near approach seeking to capture the young people's experiences within a participative ethnography. Themes related to the risk and resilience literature such as self-confidence, self-esteem, self-efficacy and a sense of mastery, empathy and the opening of positive opportunities are explored in this paper.

  Title Looking in the correct location for a hidden object: brief note about the memory of donkeys (Equus asinus) Type Journal Article
  Year 2011 Publication Ethology Ecology & Evolution Abbreviated Journal Ethology Ecology & Evolution  
  Volume 23 Issue 2 Pages 187-192  
  Keywords (up)  
  Abstract In recent years, considerable literature has been published on cognition in horses; however, much less is known about the cognitive abilities of domestic donkey (Equus asinus). This study aimed to expand our knowledge of donkey cognition by assessing their short-term memory capacity. We employed a detour problem combined with the classic delayed-response task, which has been extensively used to compare working memory duration in a variety of different species. A two-point choice apparatus was used to investigate location recall and search behaviour for a food target, after a short delay following its disappearance. Four donkeys completed the task with a 10 sec delay, while four others were tested with a 30 sec delay. Overall, each group performed above chance level on the test, showing that subjects had successfully encoded, maintained, and retrieved the existence and location of the target despite the loss of visual contact.

  Title Encoding the Object Position for Assessment of Short Term Spatial Memory in Horses (Equus caballus) Type Journal Article
  Year 2011 Publication International Journal of Comparative Psychology Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 24 Issue 3 Pages  
  Keywords (up)  
  Abstract In this study, the detour problem was combined with the classic delayed-response task to investigate equine short-term spatial memory. Test subjects were eight female horses, divided into two groups (A and B) of four subjects each. The motivating object was made to move and disappear behind one oftwo identical obstacles in a two-point-choice apparatus. After a 10 s (Group A) or 30 s (Group B) delay the animal was released to seek the object. Both groups made more correct (14.8 ± 1.3 forGroup A and 13.5 ± 3.1 for Group B, mean ± SD) than incorrect choices (5.3 ± 1.3 for Group A and6.5 ± 3.1 for Group B, mean ± SD) and the performance of each group was significantly above chance level (z = 4.14,  p = 0.000, for Group A and z = 3.02, p = 0.002, for Group B). Therefore, tested animals were able to recover the object by approaching the correct obstacle after 10 s or 30 s delays, showing that they had encoded and recovered from memory the existence of the target object and its location.
