An Ethogram: A New Approach to Quantify the
Severity of Diseases in Animal and Poultry by Motamed Elsayed Mahmoud in Approachesin Poultry, Dairy & Veterinary Sciences-Crimson Publishers: The Journal of Poultry Science
An ethogram is a behavioral picture when well
customized will become an emerging in determining the severity of disease. An
ethogram will exhibit the behavioral picture in digital values, instead of
describing the clinical signs of healthy animal or that of diseased one in
terms of displaying or disappearing certain behavioral components. The
procedure of establishing ethogram for an animal in its natural habitat or in
enriched environment should be firstly performed. Ethogram perhaps will be the
cut edge for disease severity. For instance animals suffered from certain
diseases exhibit various degrees of pathology. Ethogram will gather them in a
coherent and digital from. So the categorizing the diseases into 3 or even 10
points will provide valuable information about the individual suffering from
diseases. It is expected that some diseases will show the negative clinical
score compared to healthy or control animals e.g. diseases associated with
lowered general activity, reduced reflexes and depression. However, individual
affected with certain CNS diseases may show positive clinical score.
