Animal Testing The Animals in Research section is committed to promoting alternatives to the use of animals in product testing as well as in biomedical research and education. It raises issues such as the ethics and humaneness of deliberately poisoning animals, the propriety of harming animals for the sake of marketing a new cosmetic or household product, the applicability of animal data to humans, and the possibility of sparing millions of animals by developing alternatives to a handful of widely used procedures. Yet the use of animals in safety testing figures prominently in the animal research controversy. www.hsus.org /ace/11366   (499 words)

Raven Pet Products - Scientific Breakthrough in Dog Skin Care The Thyroid medication did not seem to be controlling their skin conditions but after the dogs were treated successfully with our product we investigated further and found the dogs thyroids were normal, we concluded that the test dogs had been mis-diagnosed.

What are the Future Economic Benefits of GMOs in Animal Feeds Just as international trade in animals and animal products has switched in recent years from a rule-based approach to a risk-based system for managing health hazards to animal and plant populations of countries resulting from importation’s, we need a similar approach for consumer protection, both for domestic consumption and international trade. All animals and product would be tracked through the system from farm to final product packs, with progressive development of inventory reconciliation systems, to account as far as possible for the degree of success achieved in maintaining tractability. Animal proteins are the most efficient and the nutritious source of many of the nutrients our bodies need. www.agriwatch.com /searchoptions/research/weekly/sr17weekly2709.htm   (6673 words)

Dairy farming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Dairy farming is a class of agricultural, or more properly, an animal husbandry enterprise, raising female cattle for long-term production of milk, which may be either processed on-site or transported to a dairy for processing and eventual retail sale. In the United States, dairy farming is an important industry in Vermont, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and New York but the largest state in dairy production is California. In large countries, dairy farming tends to be geographically clustered in regions with abundant natural water supplies (milk is mostly water) and relatively inexpensive land (even under the most generous subsidy regimes, dairy farms have poor return on capital). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Dairy_farming   (850 words)

Stuffed animal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia During the nineteenth century, the concept of the stuffed animal (known as a cuddly toy in Britain) as an entertainment product took off, with commercial enterprises such as the Steiff company being established to produce children's' toys. In medieval Europe, stuffed animals were often used in mystery plays to represent Biblical animals, such as the serpent in the Garden of Eden and the lions in the Book of Daniel. Stuffed animals in the past were frequently produced by stuffing the evacuated skins of hunted animals. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Stuffed_animal   (850 words)

Animal Testing In the past, animals were thought to be the perfect specimen to test on (especially vertebrates) because of how similar their bodies are to human and because they were not considered our equals and did not appear to have a conscientious mind. To be directly inhumane, the infliction of distress on the test animal is "an unavoidable consequence of the procedure employed". Whereas to be contingently inhumane is "the infliction of distress as an incidental and inadvertent by-product of the use of the procedure". www.msu.edu /~hipchenm/atl/review2.html   (959 words)

Industrial Production in India The de-licensed industries are animal fats and oils, tanned or dressed fur skins, chamois leather, asbestos and asbestos-based products, plywood, veneers of all types, and other wood based products like particle board, medium density fibre board/block board and paper and newsprint except bagasse-based units. Six basic industries (electricity generation, coal, steel, crude oil, refinery throughput and cement) with a weight of 28.8 per cent in the Index of Industrial Production (IIP), averaged a growth of 4.6 percent for April-February 1997-98, higher than the 3.5 percent growth during April-February 1996-99. One of the most important is the decline in investment as shown by the decline in capital goods production and the fall in the value of imports of capital goods during 1997-98. www.indiaonestop.com /economy-macro-industry.htm   (1184 words)

Animal Aid's Awards for Mad Science (AAMSA) are being made to researchers responsible for equally grostesque and pointless experiments on cats and dogs - details of which have been published in scientific journals in the last year. vivisection-absurd.org.uk /aamad.html   (1184 words)

EPA: Federal Register: National Environmental Policy Act; Proposed Revision of Policies and Procedures FDA is proposing to categorically exclude actions to approve a food additive, a color additive, or a GRAS affirmation petition for a substance that occurs naturally in the environment, when the action is not expected to alter significantly the concentration or distribution of the substance, its metabolites, or degradation products. The categorical exclusion would be for actions that increase the use of an animal drug in the instance that the agency determines a level at or below which the concentration of the substance in the environment does not significantly affect the environment. Therefore, the proposed regulations would categorically exclude actions on an NADA, abbreviated application, or a supplement to such applications for substances that occur naturally in the environment when the action is not expected to alter significantly the concentration or distribution of the substance, its metabolites, or degradation products in the environment. www.epa.gov /fedrgstr/EPA-GENERAL/1996/May/Day-01/pr-23276.txt.html   (1184 words)

Animal Testing Other animal testing involve causing pain and death to tens of thousands of animals as a means of ensuring the safety of non-essential products such as cosmetics, hair color and cleaning agents. The Jewish Nature Center suggests that Jewish law would not support the practice of causing animals pain and death in order to test the safety of a product that is not necessary to improve the quality of life. In such testing, the principle still applies in the sense that no more animals than necessary should be used for testing; no more tests than are absolutely necessary should be conducted; and test animals must be kept as comfortable as possible during the course of their ordeal. www.jewishnaturecenter.com /html/animal_testing.html   (631 words)

US FDA/CFSAN - Animal Testing Animal testing by manufacturers seeking to market new products may be used to establish product safety. FDA supports the development and use of alternatives to whole-animal testing as well as adherence to the most humane methods available within the limits of scientific capability when animals are used for testing the safety of cosmetic products. Moreover, in all cases where animal testing is used, FDA advocates that research and testing derive the maximum amount of useful scientific information from the minimum number of animals and employ the most humane methods available within the limits of scientific capability. www.cfsan.fda.gov /~dms/cos-205.html   (450 words)

Animal testing - Coursework.Info Animal testing is when heartless scientists torture helpless animals to find out if their latest shampoo/ make up product will work. The most common one to use is cancer; doctors place a cancerous lump in the animal's body and try to find a cure by using different chemical solutions (this is all done whilst the animal is conscious). But its not just cosmetics that scientists use on the animals, they try to find cures for diseases by putting the diseased cells in their bodies and watching the growths and progress. www.coursework.info /i/6118.html   (309 words)

Animal husbandry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This in turn improves the ability of the animals to convert feed to meat, milk, or fiber more efficiently and improve the quality of the final product.

Animal husbandry is the agricultural practice of breeding and raising livestock. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Animal_husbandry   (468 words)

DRAUGHT ANIMALS IN ASIA Draught animal feed is usually supplemented with small amounts of by-product concentrates such as brans, oil cakes, pulses, rice hulls and molasses. As draught power availability is presently limiting the production of staple crops (there is an estimated 37% deficiency in draught requirements at the time of harvest), a primary objective is to produce draught animals and improve the efficiency of draught power. Draught animals are currently selected according to their conformation, temperament and health; however, farmers often must rely on what is available locally. turva.me.tut.fi /iloagri/stock/17.htm   (468 words)

Animal Awareness Types of Animal Abuse If a living sentient being (human or non-human animal) is forced into slavery, food production, entertainment, medical research, product testing, fighting, racing, or if that being is used for indulgent items such as fur, or being killed in the name of predator control or wildlife control, chances are that living sentient being is abused. Animals endure extreme amounts of suffering on a daily basis for all the years of their life on a factory farm. Secondly, it is true that animals kill each other in the wild for survival and that is a natural part of life. www.animalawareness.org /pages/types.html   (626 words)

Tensor Product Networks Tensor product networks were applied early to the task of dealing with symbolic structures in connectionist systems, by Paul Smolensky. Notice that the outer product of two vectors is actually the Kronecker product of those vectors regarded as an n×1 matrix (column vector) and a 1×n matrix (row vector). This information can be represented, and stored in the tensor in the usual way, (putting the `animal' in the side we have been calling `variable', and the `food' in the side we have been calling `filler') and then we can try retrieving it. www.cse.unsw.edu.au /~billw/cs9444/tensor-stuff/tensor-intro-04.html   (3435 words)

Goat Management - Alternatives in Dairy Goat Product Market - Goats & Health - GOATWORLD.COM For cheese production, the yield may be conservatively estimated at 10 percent and decreasing for the longer-maturing, drier cheeses. The U.S. dairy goat industry has about 20,000 official breeding establishments, registering about 46,000 head per year and testing about 16,000 does annually under DHIA rules at the very respectable average production level of 1,980 lb milk with 3.7percent fat in 305 days, which is not excelled by many other countries (Haenlein, 1996). Compared to dairy cows, goats have drier feces, which makes the animal flanks and udder much less soiled and potentially their milk with a lower bacteria and sediment content; goats have a different udder anatomy. www.goatworld.com /articles/goatmanagement.shtml   (3250 words)

StopAnimalTests.com > Consumer Product Companies These and dozens more tests now in use today are cheaper, faster, and more accurate at predicting human reactions to a product than the old animal tests ever were. The best way to stop companies from using animals is to refuse to purchase their products and to write and tell them why you won’t be applying their eye shadow, cleaning your clothes with their detergent, or washing your child’s hair with their shampoo. For the first time since the animal tests were developed in the 1920s, ’30s, and ’40s, consumers could go into any department, grocery, or drugstore and buy mainstream brands from companies that did not harm and kill animals. www.stopanimaltests.com /consumerProducts.asp   (620 words)
