	Fossa: World's Strangest Predator? -- International Wildlife Magazine -- National Wildlife Federation
		Young fossas are dependent on their mothers for well over a year and do not breed until they are about three years old, by which time bobcats have already had a litter or two.
		The fossa, which looks like a cross between a dog and a cat, with a few other animals thrown in for good measure, is one of the world´s oddest meat eaters.
		The animals will eat just about anything they can find, including insects, reptiles and rodents, but they are thought to be specialized lemur hunters.

		Provide a "spray pan" — an L-shaped litter box configuration to redirect spraying to a more appropriate place.

	Animal Protection Institute - Abuse & Companion Animals
		Puppy mill operators who sell animals to unsuspecting pet stores routinely falsify AKC registration papers, and at this time the AKC has no way of verifying that the registered litter is indeed what it purports to be.

		Any animal that lives with you, as part of the family is a companion animal.

	HSCI - General Tip
		Pet overpopulation is not the millions of surplus animals born each year but one animal or one litter turned in, given away, sold, abandoned or no longer cared for.
		Animals left in the street to fend for themselves have a life expectancy of less than a year.
		This oversight on the part of the owner is the biggest contribution to the number of unwanted animals that are overpopulating animal shelters.

	NCSU: Animal Science - 1995 Annual Report
		When broiler litter was used to provide 50% of the supplemental protein and either soybean meal or ring dried blood meal was used to provide the remaining 50%, performance was equal to animals fed soybean meal.
		Three trials in which broiler litter was used to provide all the supplemental protein to corn silage based diets resulted in average daily gains of 1.97 lb/day as compared to 2.28 lb/day for similar animals supplemented with soybean meal.
		Three trials in which turkey litter was used to provide all the supplemental protein to corn silage based diets resulted in average gains of 1.62 lb/day as compared to 2.41 lb/day for similar animals supplemented with soybean or cottonseed meal.

	Pet Overpopulation - A Serious Problem
		Even professional breeders who are experienced in following generations of bloodlines and animal genetics can't guarantee that they will get just what they want out of a particular litter.
		Given the fact that in just a few years, because of short pregnancies and large litters, one female dog or cat and her offspring can be the source of literally thousands of offspring, supporting the spaying or neutering of even one pet can make an incredible difference.
		Significant resources are spent to pick up, feed and care for stray animals, reunite lost animals with their owners, to adopt pets out, or to euthanize them.

	Yale Peabody Museum: Treasures & Explorations: Large as Life
		Moreover, once a population crash occurs, animals that give birth to many offspring will be able to recover quickly, while large animals, with their small litter sizes and slow maturation rates, can only rebuild their population slowly, if at all.
		When a forest is disrupted — by the building of a highway through it, for example — small forest dwellers may cope with the change fairly readily, but a larger animal may find itself confined to only a fraction of its former range, too small a space to sustain it.
		Most of the creatures in Large As Life follow the large animal pattern, especially the bears, the cats, and the rhino.

		Once an operation is defined as a CAFO, the NPDES requirements for CAFOs apply with respect to all animals in confinement at the operation and all manure, litter and process wastewater generated by those animals or the production of those animals, regardless of the type of animal.
		122.42(e)(1)(vi)-(ix), a precipitation-related discharge of manure, litter or process wastewater from land areas under the control of a CAFO is an agricultural stormwater discharge.
		(2) Concentrated animal feeding operation (``CAFO'') means an AFO that is defined as a Large CAFO or as a Medium CAFO by the terms of this paragraph, or that is designated as a CAFO in accordance with paragraph (c) of this section.

		In the context of addressing the animal health issue associated with the identified risk to cattle from poultry litter, Minister Aylward advised farmers to be careful in relation to where they get poultry litter, how it transported and handled.
		Minister Aylward pointed out that the recently adopted EU Animal By-Product Regulations (No. 1774/2002) forbids the spreading of organic material other than farmyard manure on pasture land.
		This would include chicken carcass material which must be removed from litter before spreading.

		Deep-stacked broiler litter can be utilized as a feed for ruminant animals.
		Broiler litter is a byproduct of the broiler industry that is causing concern due to environmental impact in areas of industry concentration.
		This study is designed to evaluate the feeding value of deep-stacked broiler litter as a supplemental protein source compared to soybean meal for growing dairy heifers and to determine the effect of an additional source of rumen undegradable protein when heifers are fed broiler litter.
