Opening up of the Indian economy to the world market, in the era of liberalization, has certainly boosted the trade in several livestock products of the country. Successful negotiations of GATT have provided India an opportunity of competing on an equal footing in the world livestock trade. Cattle population in India is increasingly viewed as just an economic resource to earn optimal returns, a transformation that’s hugely influencing the conventional farm-life. Indian Livestock is considered to be in close proximity to human, as they’re a vital component of the life system of Indians. Women provide livestock farming labor and more than 90% of work related to care of animals is rendered by womenfolk of the family. Handling more than 90% of the work related to caring of animals, women have always been a significant contributor to Indian livestock industry. Cows, bullocks, buffaloes, donkeys, and mules are not only utility animals, they’re also companions at work for toiling poor people who rear them along side their own dwelling. India has more than half of world Buffalo population and 15% of world Cattle population. In terms of sheep population, India ranks fifth after Australia, China, Iran and New Zealand. Most prominent types of Indian livestock industry include cows, buffaloes, camel, goats, sheep, pigs etc. Major livestock production areas in India include Jammu, Rajasthan, Kashmir, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, and hilly regions of North and Eastern Himalayas. Also, these are the regions with maximum population of livestock. Automation of agricultural operations in many parts of the country has resulted in pushing the use of cattle for plough to redundancy. There has been a decline in the availability of cattle fodder in the country, with harvester machines and short hybrid varieties of grain. Introduced during the white revolution, foreign breeds of cattle have taken over the indigenous breeds. However, the Indian Government in collaboration with western countries is planning to further develop the Indian Livestock Industry.

Dogs Circulatory Systems
Dogs Circulatory Systems Why the heart rate increases during exercise? From the graph it shows that the heart rate of the dog increases during exercise, while the dog is exercising the heart pumps faster getting blood to the moving joints, making the dog breath faster to get the needed oxygen around the body. The dog also gets adrenalin which also makes the heart work harder and making the dog excitable. Why does it take a while to return to normal? It takes a while for the heart rate to return to normal after exercising because the dog still had adrenalin around the body and it takes awhile for the heart to stop pumping faster and for the breathing to go back to normal this is because the adrenalin needs to wear-down in the system. The dog s circulatory and respiratory system during exercise and during rest. In the dogs body the circulatory and respiratory system work hard making sure that what the dog needs is getting around the body, for the respiratory system the dog is breathing much harder and faster then normal taking in more oxygen, making the lungs work quicker and harder. For the circulatory system, as the dog runs around it makes the heart work faster pumping oxygenated blood around the body, to the areas that need it. After exercise bother systems slow down slowly, the heavy breathing gets softer, less oxygen is taken in and the fast heart rate slows down, less blood is pumped around making it go back to normal.

Is Pet Cremation the Right Option for You?
by Mark Greer ? 2006, All Rights Reserved
Because our pets are members of our families, pet loss is a tragic event. Many pet owners find themselves unprepared when their pet ages or becomes ill. If you are in one of these situations, or if you’ve recently suffered the sudden loss of your pet, you may be wondering if pet cremation is the right option for you. Allow me to answer several frequently asked questions regarding pet cremation so you can make a confident choice in the matter.
Why Should I Choose Pet Cremation?
When your pet is cremated, his/her remains are returned so that you may place them in a pet urn. This allows you the ability of keeping your pet close should you and your family relocate. It also offers the flexibility of burying some ashes or scattering some ashes in your yard or your pet’s favorite place while keeping the rest in a pet urn.
Is Cremation Just for Small Pets?
No. Cremation is available for pets of every size, from birds to horses.
How Do I Locate A Pet Crematory?
Your veterinarian can usually recommend a crematory or you may find one in your local telephone directory.
What Does the Process of Pet Cremation Involve?
Cremation is performed using a special furnace called a cremation chamber. The process requires extreme heat (usually 1500 ? 1600 degrees Fahrenheit) along with evaporation in the chamber to reduce the body to its basic elements, which are referred to as cremated remains or cremains. Also commonly called ashes, the cremains are in fact bone fragments, which are reduced further in size until they resemble a sand-like substance.
Are There Different Types of Cremation?
Yes, and because there are different types, you’ll want to confirm your preference with your vet or crematory. You’ll need to consider which one of the following methods best aligns with your wishes.
Private Cremation ? A pet is placed in the chamber alone, with no other pets. Upon completion of the cremation, the pet?s cremains are removed from the chamber, processed and returned to the owners for transferring to the pet urn of their choice.
Viewing Cremation - The owner, family and/or friends are permitted to be present in a viewing room during the cremation. This option is not available at all crematories so you’ll want to confirm availability prior to making arrangements if this is your preferred method.
Individual Cremation ? Pets share space in the cremation chamber with other pets. Each pet is separated from the others in the chamber so that their cremains can be returned to the proper owners.
Communal (Mass) Cremation ? Multiple pets are cremated together. This option does not allow for separate cremains. The pets’ ashes are not returned to the owner. It is common practice for these cremains to be disposed of commercially.
How Can I Be Sure I’ll Get My Pet’s Cremains?
Your veterinarian can supply the contact information for crematories he/she has a relationship with. Using a reputable crematory can assure you and your pet are both treated with respect.
How Do I Transfer the Ashes To A Permanent Pet Urn?
Your pet’s cremains will usually arrive in a temporary urn sealed in a plastic bag. The ashes are bagged to prevent accidental loss should the pet urn be dropped or damaged. The bag also helps to prevent damage from moisture. It is preferable to transfer the entire plastic bag of cremains into the permanent pet urn.
If you find it uncomfortable to place the ashes into the permanent urn, family members, friends, or your veterinarian can likely provide the support you need by helping to complete the transfer for you. Most permanent pet urns are not complicated to open having a simple panel with just a few screws.
While pet loss is always a difficult experience, knowing your pet will remain close to you can be enormously reassuring. By understanding the various aspects of pet cremation, you will be prepared to make a choice that will bring you comfort and peace.

Pet Insurance & Public Liability Are You Safe From A Personal Injury Compensation Claim?
Are you one of the million of Britons famous the world over for being a pet owner and lover? If so, do you have pet insurance? If not, you may well want to read on if you want to save yourself millions of pounds .
Let s look at two, not uncommon, scenarios that may happen to a pet owner in the UK:
Scenario 1:
You own a dog. The dog is out in the garden. The post comes to the house to deliver a letter. In the course of delivering the letter your dog bites the postman.
Scenario 2:
You own a horse. The horse is grazing in the field. The horse is startled, jumps the hedge and crashes into an oncoming car.
Do you know what would happen in both of these scenarios? Well, if you don t already know, as you may recall from the recent famous case involving Princess Anne, in Scenario 1 you could be liable to pay damages under the Dangerous Dogs Act. Less well known, in Scenario 2 you could be liable to pay damages under a recent House of Lords interpretation to the Animal Act 1971. Either way, you re paying.
How can you limit the liability you ll suffer if either of these unfortunate events where to occur? Without some form of pet insurance policy you could not. As such, if you have a pet and want to save yourself from the prospect of having to pay out a potentially large amount of money in compensation damages to a third party now is the time that you should be considering getting pet insurance.
Although pet insurance is unlikely to cover you for the full costs you that you may need to pay to both defend your self against a claim and also pay compensation if you lose, as there is likely to be a minimum excess payment and maximum cap payment, for a reasonable annual premium payment you can arrange to have cover that would pay a large portion of this amount.
At the end of the day, however, having pet insurance is like having any other type if insurance. Would you go out n the roads and drive your car without insuring yourself against an accident? Would you leave all your valuables at home without having any home contents insurance? Do you want to take the chance that you could be used for million in personal injury compensation without having paid a minimal amount in pet insurance?

Are Parasites Killing Your Pets?
Of course we all want to take care of our beloved pets but is it possible that parasites are endangering their lives? Although dogs and cats are generally considered to be rather disease free, they are both susceptible to parasites such as hook worms. Otherwise known as Dipylidium Caninum, the hook worm is a particularly nasty parasite that can and will shorten the life of your pet unless properly treated.
Parasites like the hook worm actually have teeth that they use to attach to the small intestine of your dog or cat (actually, these parasites are also a danger to humans too!). Now these are rather simple parasites with three basic body parts: the head, neck, and tail. Every hook worm has only one head and neck, but they may have several tail segments.
The tail segment is very important to parasites like the hook worm because this is how they breed. Every tail section has the reproductive organs for the hook worm. Sections of tail break off all the time and are passed with other solid waste (in the animal s feces). Fleas, who lay their eggs in feces, eat the tail segments and are thus infected with hook worm.
The parasites are passed on to the animal when the flea bites it. It is also possible for animals to become infested with these parasites by eating the fleas themselves. Therefore, the best prevention for hook worms is to rid your home and yard of fleas. Then, make sure the animal is free of the parasites by taking it to your veterinarian. If infected, the animal will be orally given a mild poison that will cleanse its system of the hook worms.
Hook worms may not seem like very dangerous parasites but their effect upon animals is cumulative. After prolonged periods of infestation, animals will appear emaciated as they will have been deprived of essential vitamins, minerals, and nutrients by the parasites clinging to their intestinal walls. In time, the immune system will weaken and the animal will become prone to disease. If left untreated, hook worms are indeed parasites that can and will kill your pets.
It is usually possible to determine if your animal has hook worms by inspecting its stool for the parasites. Plus, if the stool is often too wet or runny, it is likely your pet has hook worms. Pets suspected of having the parasites need to be taken to the vet immediately as the risk of spreading hook worms to humans is very real. After the animal has been rid of the worms, be sure to destroy any flea populations in the area or the risk of re-infection is very high.

Giving Your Pet A Proper Adoption
There is a severe overpopulation of cats and dogs roaming the streets all over the world. Some animals that are not getting proper care and are being abused by their owners tend to escape from their mistreated homes and tend to wander off on their own.
Because of this situation, there are now lots of domesticated animals that are caught and placed on animal shelters or dog pounds, just waiting for someone to adopt them. However, there are lots of municipal shelters that can no longer adopt this great number of abused or abandoned pets, so they just kill them.
In general, pets are great companions and friends. Like the dogs, they are very loyal and friendly and can be used to safeguard our homes. They can act as our friends and can provide us with lots of entertainment and love.
On the other hand, we have our feline friends. Cats are not so demanding. All you have to give them is a clean litter box; a little affection and they will be satisfied. And in return, these pets will give their loyalty and companionship to you.
Some pet owners don?t really abuse their pets; they give their pets away because they love them too much. The reason why pet owners sometimes have to give away their pets is that they are afraid that they could not provide the best care for them. The owner of the pet will look for the right person that will adopt their pet and leave them in good hands. They sometimes go to their relatives and friends and ask for help.
If the owners cannot find a suitable person to adopt their pet, there are institutions and organizations that are established to adopt pets that has strictly no killing policies.
Here are some of the several pet shelters here you can entrust your pets.
1. The Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons (ARF) - you can find this in the East Hampton Pine Barrens. They rescue those pets that cannot be taken cared of by the owners. The goal of the ARF is to lessen the number of pets that do not have shelters or homes. They provide a sufficient amount of food and a good shelter as well as medical care..
2. Bide-a-Wee ? this has three shelters that can be found in Wantagh, Westhampton and Manhattan. They keep animals in their shelter, until they can find a new home. You can take your per here if you do not want them anymore. They got a big area where the pets can roam a round. As a matter of fact, Bide-a-Wee has two pet memorials, just goes to show how much they love animals.
3. Grateful Paws Cat Adoption Center ? they rescue the cats from the Town of Huntington Animal Shelter. From here, the cats are being brought to the Grateful Paws Adoption Center. So if you are planning to give your pet to them, you must bring it first to the Town of Huntington Animal Shelter so that it will reach the Grateful Paws Adoption Center.
4. Kent Animal Shelter ? they never kill pets, as much as possible, they want all pets to be healthy. They give protection to those pets that are abandoned, abused and homeless.
5. Little Shelter Animal Rescue and Rescue Center ? They provide shelter and care for all pets. Keeping them in their folds until a new owner can be found.
Just a few reminders, before bringing your pets to the shelters mentioned above, make sure that you contact them first so that you will know if your pet can be accommodated or not and there are certain procedures that needs to be followed, so you can inquire about those procedures at the same time.

Evaluating Dog Breeders
It s not usually a good idea to buy the first dog you see from the first breeder you visit. The expertise of dog breeders is about as varied as the breeds of dogs themselves. By following a basic plan you will be able to find a healthy, happy dog.
Before you can determine whether or not a particular dog will be of value to you there are two basic items that must be addressed. One, you must know the breed of dog you want. Are you after a German Shepherd, Bernese Mountain dog, Newfoundland, Yorkshire Terrier or other type? If it’s a German Shepherd that you want you should be looking for german shepherd dog breeders. And two, you must be aware of some specific information about that breed. The information you need to be versed on includes the correct size for your dog breed, how often it needs to be brushed, how much activity or exercise it needs daily, if there are genetic diseases that are common with this type, have there been tests performed that have ruled these diseases out in this pup, and what else is required in maintaining it’s health such as clipping its nails.
There is a lot of additional information that is important for you to know as well. Some dog breeders don t actually do the breeding themselves, but buy their animals from other areas. You should stick with a breeder that breeds and raises the pups on site. The reason for this is because you can better determine if this puppy was raised in a clean environment. Without examining its place of birth you have no idea what sort of environment it was raised in. Puppies can end up with mental or physical deficiencies if brought up in a cruel or unkempt environment.
Another item for concern is the age of the puppies that you are interested in. The puppies should be at least seven weeks old before they are placed. Their parents should be at least two years old before breeding and should have been tested for any possible genetic diseases.
When purchasing puppies it s important that the pups have had some interaction with other animals and children. This is to help ensure that the dogs will be friendly and sociable. It s also a good idea to get your puppy from a dog breeder that will allow you to call him later with any questions or concerns you may have about your animal.
There is a lot to know about breeding dogs and it s very hard to find a competent experienced dog breeder who raises more than 4 or 5 different breeds. If he raises 6 or 8 or more it s probably a good idea to look else ware for you puppy. Also, most experienced breeders belong to one or more breed clubs so ask them if that s true with them.
As you are concerned about the specific breeder he should also show some concern with you as well. If he asks you questions about they type of environment that you will raising the pup, your family, and your experience with animals it s usually a good sign that the animal has been raised with love. The breeder should have concern for the placement of his puppies.
Once you have made a decision to buy a specific dog there are few other items that should be addressed. A suggested diet should be provided for your animal. You should receive a registration certificate with your purchase. You should also require the seller to give you a 3-generation pedigree chart for the dog, a health record of the animal that includes dates the puppy was inoculated or received other veterinary care. Another important item is a health guarantee and you should require one. If it s later discovered that the dog suffers from a genetic disease, for example, you should have some recourse. Along these same lines you should have in writing that you are allowed, within a reasonable amount of time, to have the puppy examined by a veterinarian at your own expense. And if it is found that the dog you have purchased has any defects, as determined by the veterinarian, you can return it for a full refund.
Finding the perfect dog can be a long and tedious process, but with a little preparation, education and effort it s possible to obtain a quality animal that you will be proud to own.

Australian Terrier
The Australian Terrier is one of the smallest of the terrier dog group. It was originally bred in Australia around 1885 as a working dog to guard mines and to tend sheep. The Australian Terrier is a healthy and hardy breed. They are long-living to 15 years or more and free of any major hereditary defects.
They have a rough-textured straight coat 2in. to 3in. long with colorings ranging from silver- or blue-black through to tan with a distinctive soft-haired topknot on their head.
The Australian Terrier is tough and cheeky, and stands 9in to 11in high. However, like many other terrier breeds, in its own mind it is a much larger dog and is quite fearless. It is energetic and loyal and will display great affection to its family. It is confident and curious, has keen hearing and eyesight and therefore makes a useful watchdog. Because it likes to please its master is can be more easily trained than some other terriers.
Unlike many other terrier breeds the Australian Terrier does not usually display aggression towards other dogs although they may chase small animals outside the home. They can occasionally display wariness towards strangers although they are not excessively suspicious. They travel well and can be somewhat easier to train than other terrier types although their training needs to be strict; their self-assured nature can make them want to follow their own ideas rather than yours!
Australian terriers make good apartment dogs. They are adaptable and will remain active indoors but will require outdoor exercise and, like all terriers, need to be walked on a leash due to their tendency to chase other animals.
The Australian Terrier sheds little or no hair and will not require clipping except perhaps around the eyes and ears when blunt-nosed scissors should be used. Regular brushing is recommended. This will stimulate natural oil secretion from the skin which will help to develop a high gloss to the coat. Clip the toenails regularly. Australian Terriers do not require washing more than once a month. More frequent washing will tend to make their tough coat go lank.
Your Australian Terrier will consider himself to be a part of your family and will be a loyal and loving companion.
