Abstract

This article is an introduction to pet nonhuman primates and includes a discussion of basic life history and physiologic parameters of the most common pet species, diet and husbandry guidelines, and resources for further information for both the pet owner and the veterinarian. Preventive health care is emphasized, including diagnostic tests that should be included in annual examinations, recommended serologic testing, tuberculin testing, and vaccinations. Zoonotic diseases and preventive measures for the owner and the clinical staff are outlined. Common disease problems and recommended therapeutics are presented.

Relationships between dairy cow mastitis and fertility management and farm performance.

A field study was carried out on 38 dairy farms in the Netherlands to determine the relationship between mastitis and fertility management with 305-day milk production and gross margin. Questionnaires were used to get insight into the farmers' management. Out of 150 variables related to mastitis and fertility management, and technical and economic results, 44 variables were selected based on correlation of > or = 0.25 or < or = -0.25 with milk production and/or gross margin. These variables were used in two separate partial least squares (PLS) analyses. PLS has the advantage that it can handle a large number of variables in relation to the number of cases. The PLS-model of 305-day milk production had R2 = 0.54 and showed a positive relation between 305-day milk production and awareness of the farmer regarding bulk somatic-cell count (BSCC), the goal level of the farmer for BSCC, and hygiene of the milking parlour. Fertility was negatively related to 305-day milk production, in spite of a relatively good fertility management on high-producing farms. R2 = 0.46 for gross margin. The aspiration level of fertility did not seem to affect gross margin, but awareness of BSCC and calving interval (CI) had positive effects. Such awareness seemed a general parameter for good economic results, because it was correlated with different aspects of gross margin.
