Importance of the Olphactory Environment in the Laboratory Animal Science by Fekete S* in Approaches in Poultry, Dairy & Veterinary Sciences_ Dairy and Veterinary Sciences journal
Abstract
The
3rd R, the refinement is receiving more and more attention. The optimazing of
the auditory and olphactory environment of the laboratory animals is essential,
because the environmental smells influence the behaviour and occasionally the
epigenetics of mammals. According to the characteristics of the smell
substances a chemical map is developed in the olphactory bulb. The vomeronasale organ (VNO) has an
important role in the pheromonetransfered communication [1]. The VNO is
expressing specific major histocompatibility genes, too. In horses and felidae
a specific behaviour form, the Flehmen-reaction facilitates pheromone molecules
to get the VNO. The intraspecific communication is attained by means of the
pheromones, especially in the social and sexual relations. The kairomones are
functioning in the communication between species. The interomones are smell
compounds influencing the behaviour or physiology of other species, with or
without a positive or negative effect for the releaser. Some interomes may
decrese the stress of other species [2], having a significance of animal welfare.
