“…As animals become more stressed, they have a physiologic release of cortisol and other hormones (Arnemo and Caulkett, 2007). Cortisol levels have often been used to link capture techniques with increased or decreased stress in wildlife (Kock et al, 1987). We expected that, as chase time and induction time increased, so would cortisol levels.…”

ABSTRACT:Baseline reference ranges of serum chemistry and hematology data can be important indicators for the status of both individuals or populations of wild animals that are affected by emerging pathogens, toxicants, or other causes of disease. Frequently, reference ranges for these values are not available for wildlife species or subspecies. We present hematologic and serum chemistry reference ranges for moose (Alces alces) adults, yearlings, and calves in Norway sampled from 1992-2000. Additionally, we demonstrated that both induction time and chase time were correlated with initial rectal temperature, although they were not significantly correlated with cortisol, aspartate aminotransferase, glucose, or creatine kinase. Overall, the reference ranges given here are similar to those given for American moose, with a few differences that can be attributed to environment, testing methodology, or subspecies or species status. This is the first report, to our knowledge, of reference ranges for moose in Norway.

“…According to Dimitrios et al (2003), their short-term impact in the form of psychological, physiological, or environmental stimuli activates an organism to induce neurohormonal regulatory mechanisms, which leads to homeostasis. In turn, animals that have been chronically exposed to stress are characterized by higher susceptibility to pathogens, which represents the effect of reducing the adjustment mechanisms (Kock et al, 1987;Ziegler, 1991).…”

IntroductionEvery cell in both humans and livestock is involved in oxidation-reduction reactions. Their main products are oxygen free radicals, molecules having at least one unpaired electron in their structure (Betteridge, 2000;Czajka, 2006;Uttara et al., 2009). Under normal conditions, an organism seeking the balance equilibrium removes reactive compounds using protective substances and enzymes. Disturbances that occur in the accumulation of these are referred to as oxidative stress (Nisar et al., 2013;Konvičná et al., 2015).The organism is exposed to oxidative stress especially when subjected to intense physical and metabolic exertion. In the case of livestock, oxidative stress occurs as the result of continuous improvement and sharp selection in order to increase productivity (Jóźwik et al., 2012). According to Kimothi and Ghosh (2005), interracial mating is an alternative for alleviating the effects of oxidative stress, but research results of another author (Tanaka et al., 2008) did not confirm the above dependence.Metabolic disorders increase the incidence of oxidative stress. In dairy cows, the predisposing factor is dietary mistakes committed in the last few months of lactation and in the dry period (Blowey, 2005). In addition, fat increased mobilization from the subcutaneous tissue in the perinatal period leads to increased production of lipid peroxide and reactive oxygen species (Konvičná et al., 2015), which contributes to a reduction in the antioxidant capacity of an organism in early lactation (Turk et al., 2005). Similar results were observed in sheep and goats (El-Deeb, 2015).The oxidation-antioxidant imbalance may be an effect of 'stressor' activity. According to Dimitrios et al. (2003), their short-term impact in the form of psychological, physiological, or environmental stimuli activates an organism to induce neurohormonal regulatory mechanisms, which leads to homeostasis. In turn, animals that have been chronically exposed to stress are characterized by higher susceptibility to pathogens, which represents the effect of reducing the adjustment mechanisms (Kock et al., 1987;Ziegler, 1991).An innovative method of oxidative stress reducing in animals can be an application of stem cells, which are isolated from bone marrow, peripheral blood, and umbilical cord or adipose tissue. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have an ability of rapid multiplication, tissue repair, and regeneration. Moreover, MSCs can exhibit an immunosuppressive effect. According to Gala et al. (2010), an important feature of MSCs is their ability to synthesize and secrete cytokines. From the immunological point of view, cytokine proteins produced by leukocytes affect the Abstract: Oxidative stress is the primary cause of lowering of the body's immune status. It arises as a result of intense metabolic processes in humans and animals that involve a decrease in antioxidant enzymes activity at the expense of increased production of free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS). Consequently, this leads to oxidation of lipids, protein...

“…These physiological changes, which include alterations in body temperature, acid-base balance, tissue growth and maintenance of immunity (Kock, Jessup, Clark & Franti, 1987;Cattet, Christison & Caulkett, 2003), may result in morbidity and/or mortality (Ganhao, Hattingh & Pitts, 1988). A precipitous body temperature increase, termed captureinduced hyperthermia (Meyer, Hetem, Fick, Mitchell & Fuller, 2008a;Meyer, Hetem, Fick, Mitchell & Fuller, 2008b), is probably the most conspicuous and consistent adverse effect of capture in wildlife.…”

The capture of wild animals is a stressful event which may cause a capture-induced hyperthermia, resulting in morbidity or mortality. We investigated whether various cooling techniques were effective at lowering the body temperature of hyperthermic animals. To achieve this, we implanted miniature temperature-sensitive data loggers into the abdomens of 12 blesbok (Damaliscus pygargus phillipsi ). Five animals were cooled by dousing with water of different temperatures (4°C, 17°C, 28°C) and fanning after dousing with 28°C water. Seven animals were cooled by ice-packs, a fine mist spray of 28°C water, intravenous (IV) infusion of one litre of 4°C saline solution or 28°C water-dousing. The body temperature after capture was significantly elevated to as high as 41°C to 42°C. Water-dousing interventions significantly decreased minimum body temperature but there was no difference in the minimum body temperature reached or the magnitude of cooling between the different water temperatures or by the addition of fanning. The ice-packs also lowered body temperature, whereas mist spraying did not. The use of ice packs and dousing with water between 4°C and 28°C were the most effective techniques to reduce capture-induced hyperthermia in blesbok. Water-dousing, when done appropriately, is the most practical and effective method to cool an animal with capture-induced hyperthermia.
