As a result, we use argon-induced anoxia to euthanise our poultry.

I bring this issue up again, because although some corporations seem to be taking animal welfare issues seriously, others show very little responsibility. Case in point, Tyson's Poultry (the largest US poultry company, probably the largest world-wide) left thousands of broiler breeders outside in the snow and ice when barns collapsed in Arkansas. The birds were left for 2-3 weeks, without access to water, shelter, or food, while company technicians continued to service the buildings still standing. (see our website for video coverage, www.hsus.org or www.animalchannel.net). I find it amazing and incredibly frustrating that companies as large as Tysons do not have disaster plans in effect, particularly when Tysons lost 275 barns last January in Arkansas in exactly the same situation (ice storms causing roofs to collapse).

Dear all,
 
I'm looking into the possibility of purchasing equipment for 24-h behaviour recording in laboratory animal facilities (rodents). Thus equipment time-lapse recording, with facilities for recordings at low light and with infrared lamps and preferrably also allowing sequential recording of several cameras. Important considerations for me are how easy it is to set up and handle the system, size of the components and of course relation cost-quality. I would appreciate to hear your experiences of such equipment presently available on the European market. 
 
In addition, I would be interested to hear your experiences of working with rodents and video equipment, in relation to the possible ultrasound emittence (of the equipment :-) !

I was once doing experiments in a shed which had wild mice living in it. I would often see mouse droppings on the computer monitor (these apparently emit ultrasound), so ultrasound might not be all that aversive - although it might be the animal's ability to escape the noise that makes it acceptable/aversive. It might be worth contacting a security company for the latest technology in low-light/infra red cameras and multiplexor video recorders.

Look forward to seeing you in California. ISAE 2001 35th INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS OF THE ISAE University of California, Davis, August 4-8, 2001 FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR ABSTRACTS CONGRESS LOCATION The Congress will be held on the campus of the University of California, Davis. UC Davis is acknowledged as a leader in agricultural, veterinary, biological, biotechnological, and environmental sciences. It is home to Animal Behavior Graduate Group, a group of more than 50 faculty and graduate students from a variety of colleges and disciplines studying the behavior of domestic, captive, and wild animals. Davis itself is a charming small university town known for its bookstores, coffee shops, and art galleries, and its extensive network of bike paths and bike roads. Davis is located in the Central Valley of California, one of the richest and most diverse agricultural areas in the world. Davis is ideally located for exploring northern California: San Francisco, Napa and Sonoma Valley, the Sierra Nevada mountain range, and Lake Tahoe are on the doorstep. TRANSPORT TO THE CONGRESS The closest airport is the Sacramento International Airport. Shuttles are available from the airport directly to campus, a journey of about 20 minutes. Limited shuttle service is also available from the San Francisco International airport, about a 2-hour journey. Davis is easily accessible by car from Interstate 80, and there is also train service to Davis from many other locations in California, including downtown San Francisco. SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT The ISAE Congress will be held in sequence with two other international conferences on the UC Davis campus of interest to ISAE members. The first, on August 1-2, is Nature in Legend and Story (NILAS), with a theme of “Animals in Folklore and Literature.” The second, on August 3-4, is the International Society for Anthrozoology (ISAZ), with a theme of “Human-Animal Conflict”. There will be a discounted registration fee for individuals who register for more than one meeting. SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM The Congress will begin at 1700 on August 4 with the opening and Wood-Gush Memorial lecture, followed by a joint reception with ISAZ. Contributed scientific sessions will begin at 0900 on the morning of August 5. There will be six plenary talks (40 minutes including discussion) chosen from among the submitted abstracts, about 60 spoken presentations (20 minutes including discussion) delivered in parallel sessions, and poster sessions. Special topics for the Congress are: Companion animal behavior Influence of genetics on behavior and welfare Free papers are also invited, and these will be grouped into appropriate sessions. Roundtables will also be organized; suggestions should be sent to the conference organizers. ABSTRACT SUBMISSION We strongly encourage you to submit your abstracts using our on-line submission system. This will greatly streamline the formatting, reviewing, and publishing of your abstract. To submit online, go to the Congress website at http://animalwelfare.ucdavis.edu/conference/futureconf/html and follow the instructions for Abstract Submission. The deadline for abstract submission is Feb 15, 2001. If you must submit your abstract by email or conventional mail (on diskette), if at all possible use the forms (both abstract and abstract transmittal forms) and examples provided with this announcement, which are also available on the Congress website. Your abstract should be composed using 12 point Times New Roman font in Word or Word Perfect, and follow this exact format: Sample Abstract______________________________ Title of my abstract in sentence case I.M. Firstauthor1, I.M. Secondauthor1 and I.M. Thirdauthor2 1 Full address of first and second authors, including Department, Institution, Street Address, City, Country, postcode 2 Full address of other author(s) This is the body of my abstract, in which I describe the purpose of my study, the methods used, the statistical analysis, results and conclusions…. I need more than one paragraph to do this, so I skipped a line for the second (and each subsequent) paragraph, although without indenting the new paragraphs. ____________________________________ The body of the abstract should contain no more than 300 words. Abstracts not in the correct format will be returned to the corresponding author for reformatting. A cover sheet should be submitted along with the abstract that provides the following information: Name and contact information (including email address) for the corresponding author Name of presenting author Preference for spoken paper, poster, or plenary An indication of whether the presenting author is a graduate student or young scientist Type of contribution (plenary, spoken paper, poster, roundtable); indicate both first and second choice Preferred section (Companion animal behavior; Genetic Influences on behavior and welfare; free papers) The primary species of animal used in the study, and whether the research is primarily in the farm, zoo, laboratory, companion, or zoo setting Three keywords that can be used to classify your abstract for the purpose of selecting reviewers and organizing the parallel sessions Two referees will review each abstract. The names of the authors will be removed from the abstracts prior to being sent to the reviewers to ensure anonymity. Authors will be informed about acceptance of abstracts in early April; revised abstracts are due May 1. Speakers whose abstracts have been selected for plenary talks will be requested to submit an expanded abstract. SOCIAL PROGRAM, HOUSING, AND REGISTRATION The opening reception will be held at the John Natsoulas art gallery. A variety of technical and social tours will be available, including tours of animal facilities on the Davis campus, zoos and marine facilities, and, for those of you who are particularly interested in horticulture (viticulture?), wine tasting in the Napa Valley. Information about housing and registration costs will be available after January 1, 2001 on the Congress website. Official housing for the Congress will be in campus student dormitories; however, there are also a number of reasonably priced motels and hotels nearby. The deadline for ordinary registration is June 1, 2001.

A few months ago the animals started to develop the behaviour of licking each others perineal region, thus stimulating the "treated" cow to urinate and giving the one who licked a warm shower on the head. This behaviour evolved in this way that when a cow starts urinating, several others hurry themselves to catch the urine on their heads. Up till now the animals did not develop any secondary problems except from some mild skin irritations around the head. With higher temperatures in spring and summer, one would expect flies to be attracted and myasis problems to occur. The farmer already tried to give the animals some extraction by means of a mineral stone. But this seems not to improve anything. Are you familiar with this problem? Is there any explanation for it? How do we treat? Many thanks for any assisatnce you can offer, i can try to get more information if anyone wishes Daniel S.

If they are tasting it, then I have two suggestions of things to rule out. One is to review the feed they are being given and make sure there isn't a mineral deficiency. Or perhaps something in the food is leading to a urine that has an unusually desirable flavor. The second thing that I am wondering is whether any of those heifers are freemartins or have some other reproductive issues. Your description said that there were 10 heifers in 4 groups and also said that now when a cow urinates "several" others hurry over to catch the urine. Is this occurring in all 4 groups? Is it always the same cows that come over to the urine? Are all 40 doing this at times or only a subset of the 40 who do it most of the time? If it is a subset, then I would check to see that they are reproductively normal. If these cows are un-bred but cycling, does their interest in urine follow their reproductive cycle? Certainly males ruminants will rush over to a urinating female and check out their urine (although they generally stick their noses in it, not their entire heads, but if several cows are jostling around for access to the urine, then perhaps this can explain why it is getting on their entire heads). I am wondering if something (environmental pollutant, contaminated feed, etc.) is "masculinizing" the behavior of these cows. Now, if you rule out nutritional and reproductive issues and the cows are still engaging in this behavior, then you might have an interesting set-up to do research on social learning. You could take the cows that were engaging in this behavior and place them with another set of cows which do not do it and see if the other cows learn by observation and also start doing this. Then you could record the information transfer through the new herd. Who knows, it could be an interesting bit of research.

I am going to give a presentation to a group of outdoor pig producers, who are interested in the various possibilites for indoor loosehousing of farrowing and lactating sows. I will tell them about pens that are being commercially used in insulated buildings in Denmark. However, they are also interested in very extensive systems (e.g. noninsulated buildings (-that allow for outdoor temp. down to -20 C), access to outdoor areas, plenty of space per sow, plenty of bedding). I can find almost no litterature on these types of solutions. If any of you can help me with references or just your experiences in this area, I would be very grateful.
