Retrospective Analysis of Cataract Formation and Nutritional Etiology in a Managed Collection of Parakeet Auklets (Aethia psittacula)
JOURNAL OF AVIAN MEDICINE AND SURGERY, 35(4), 390–401.
MeSH headings : Animals; Birds; Cataract / etiology; Cataract / veterinary; Charadriiformes; Retrospective Studies
TL;DR:
The parakeet auklet is a piscivorous seabird with a natural diet of various invertebrate and teleost species, which is challenging to replicate in a managed collection, which was hypothesized to be related to inappropriate vitamin A and E levels.

Impact of two types of complete pelleted, wild ungulate feeds and two pelleted feed to hay ratios on the development of urolithogenic compounds in meat goats as a model for giraffes
Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, 97(3), 566–576.
Contributors: K. Sullivan n, S. Freeman n, E. Van Heugten n, K. Ange-van Heugten n , n & M. Poore n
author keywords: calcium; giraffe; goats; phosphorus; uroliths
MeSH headings : Animal Feed / analysis; Animal Husbandry / methods; Animals; Animals, Wild; Antelopes; Calcium / urine; Calcium, Dietary / analysis; Calcium, Dietary / metabolism; Creatinine / urine; Digestion; Dose-Response Relationship, Drug; Food Handling; Goats / physiology; Nutritional Requirements; Nutritive Value; Phosphorus / urine; Phosphorus, Dietary / analysis; Phosphorus, Dietary / metabolism; Urolithiasis / prevention & control; Urolithiasis / veterinary
TL;DR:
The impact of two commercially available, pelleted feeds used for giraffes, ADF-16 and Wild Herbivore, as well as the impact of alfalfa hay and pellet proportions on the formation of urolithogenic precursors in goat urine was accomplished in a 2 × 2 factorial balance study.

Use of Thermography and Fluorescein Angiography in the Management of a Chilean Flamingo With Avascular Necrosis of the Wing
JOURNAL OF AVIAN MEDICINE AND SURGERY, 26(4), 255–257.
author keywords: diseases of birds; thermography; fluorescein; angiography; vascular occlusion; wing amputation; avian; flamingo; Phoenicopterus chilensis
MeSH headings : Amputation, Surgical / veterinary; Animals; Bird Diseases / pathology; Bird Diseases / surgery; Birds; Fluorescein Angiography / veterinary; Male; Thermography / veterinary; Wings, Animal / pathology; Wings, Animal / surgery
TL;DR:
Based on the poor prognosis for return to function associated with irreversible vascular damage, the wing was amputated and the bird was returned to public exhibit.

Analysis of nutrient concentrations in the diet, serum, and urine of giraffe from surveyed North American zoological institutions
Zoo Biology, 29(4), n/a-n/a.
Contributors: K. Sullivan n, E. Heugten n, K. Ange-van Heugten n , M. Poore n, E. Dierenfeld * & n
author keywords: giraffe; health; minerals; nutrition; uroliths
MeSH headings : Animal Feed / analysis; Animal Nutritional Physiological Phenomena / physiology; Animals; Animals, Zoo; Blood Chemical Analysis / veterinary; Diet; Female; Linear Models; Male; North America; Ruminants / blood; Ruminants / physiology; Ruminants / urine; Urinalysis / veterinary; Urolithiasis / prevention & control; Urolithiasis / veterinary
TL;DR:
The health history and feeding practices of giraffe in captivity in North America and to obtain samples of hay, concentrate, browse, urine, and serum to compare across zoos, possible factors relating to the development of urolithiasis are investigated.
