    Abstract: A therapeutic shoe for cloven-hooved lactating animals protects a diseased or injured hoof from the external environment to promote healing. The shoe is notionally divided into four parts: a sole portion for supporting the undersides of the medial and lateral claws; a vamp portion connected to the sole portion for at least partially enveloping the hoof wall between its toe, heel and coronary band; a quarter portion connected to the vamp portion for at least partially enveloping the front and lateral pastern sections; and a heel portion connected to both the vamp and quarter portions for at least partially enveloping the heel and the area beneath the dew claws. The material of the shoe at the heel portion is relatively more deformable than the material of the shoe at the sole, vamp or quarter portions thus avoiding the application of excess pressure to this sensitive area of the hoof anatomy.

  • Publication number: 20180317454
    Abstract: The invention is a system and method for the reduction of stress and anxiety responses by animals to unfamiliar events or circumstances such as veterinary visits. The method includes progressive scent identification conditioning. An animal associates one or more pleasing fragrances or scents with pleasure and safety and thus a reduced level of stress/anxiety. This association persists for a sufficient period of time so the animal is able to better handle unfamiliar events/circumstances by maintaining a lower level of stress/anxiety. Scent association conditioning is achieved by presentation of a reward such as edible treats of different sizes and effective taste intensities when scent exposure occurs. The time between scent exposure and receipt of a treat is gradually increased during conditioning to reach an optimal or maximum period in which the animal can maintain a low level of stress/anxiety.

  • Publication number: 20180317456
    Abstract: A retractable leash device (10, 53) for rolling up and unrolling a leash (13), especially for leading an animal, includes a leash roller (22) mounted rotatably on a carrier and a resetting device to reset the leash into a rolled-up position, in which the leash is wound up onto a leash roller. A blocking feature blocks the unrolling of the leash. A transmission is coupled to the leash roller and brings about blocking when a predetermined leash length is unrolled from leash roller. A simple configuration with high operating reliability and low wear is provided with the transmission having a first transmission element arranged rotatably on the carrier and a second transmission element arranged nonrotatably on the carrier. The first transmission element and the second transmission element have an outer circumference and an inner circumference associated with one another, which mesh with one another at least in an active state.

    Abstract: A genetically modified vertebrate is provided that has an enhanced sense due to an over representation of a predetermined odorant receptor. The vertebrate is genetically modified by introduction of DNA that comprises at least four sequential repeats of a sequence whose primary structure is at least 90% homologous with ACATAACTTTTTAATGAGTCT (SEQ ID NO: 1). The DNA causes a nearby odorant receptor coding sequence to be over represented in a singular gene choice fashion relative to a corresponding vertebrate that lacks the DNA.
