“…En su hábitat natural, las cacatúas ninfa pueden volar kilómetros para balancear su dieta basada en más de 60 tipos de semillas y algunas frutas, flores, hojas e insectos (Naves et al, 2017;Orosz, 2014). En cautiverio su dieta no es tan diversa y su actividad física es reducida, ya que usualmente los propietarios utilizan mezclas con una poca variedad de semillas y la capacidad del ave para forrajear y volar disminuye considerablemente (Orosz, 2014).…”

Una cacatúa ninfa (Nymphicus hollandicus), hembra de 10 años, que fallece súbitamente durante la consulta médica, fue evaluada, histopatológicamente, en el laboratorio Unidad de Diagnóstico en Patología Aviar, Escuela de Medicina Veterinaria, Universidad Nacional. En la evaluación, post-mortem, macroscópicamente, destaca el hallazgo de engrosamiento, tortuosidad y múltiples nodulaciones de la aorta ascendente, en sus bifurcaciones y otras arterias en la base del corazón. El estudio histopatológico revela diversos grados de lesiones arteriales causadas por aterosclerosis. En este reporte, se describe y caracteriza las lesiones histológicas además, se realiza una revisión de las medidas preventivas, métodos diagnósticos y tratamientos disponibles para manejo de esta patología en aves de Costa Rica.

“…Researchers evaluate preference by presenting two foods concurrently and evaluating which the animal selects (Clay et al, 2009; Gaalema et al, 2011; Mehrkam & Dorey, 2015). A good understanding of food preference facilitates the identification of effective reinforcers to support training (Fernandez et al, 2004; Martin et al, 2018), improves husbandry practice (Addessi et al, 2005; Alligood et al, 2017; Naves et al, 2017), and supports overall welfare (Mehrkam & Dorey, 2015; Steele et al, 1995). While nonfood reinforcers can be used to train animals (e.g., for general husbandry and health checks) food is often a powerful motivator and several research groups have undertaken studies to understand what food items best serve as reinforcers for species or individual animals in human care (Clay et al, 2009; Gaalema et al, 2011).…”

Understanding food preference among animals in human care can support improvements to welfare through training and day-to-day care (e.g., diet management).Little has been published about food preference in zoo-housed meerkats. Assessing meerkat food preference would be useful, not only for the welfare of that species, but also for developing approaches to assessing food preference in other grouphoused, social species. The specific aim of this study was to quantify food preference within the meerkat mob at Wellington Zoo. We developed a simple, cost-effective method for characterizing the food preference hierarchy in meerkats by presenting pairs of foods to the mob as a group. We observed stable preference with the hierarchy for pups closely resembling that for adults. This study demonstrated that it is possible to assess food preference and identify a food preference hierarchy for a group of animals from a social species where it was neither practical nor appropriate to assess individuals' preferences separately.
