Brown Janine L (2016) Reproductive Health Assessment of Female Elephants in North American Zoos and Association of Husbandry Practices with Reproductive Dysfunction in African Elephants

Brown Janine L, in Reproductive Health Assessment of Female Elephants in North American Zoos and Association of Husbandry Practices with Reproductive Dysfunction in African Elephants, argue that elephants in captivity may decrease the incidence of ovarian cycle problems by increasing social stability and feeding diversity. Blood samples were taken from 95 African Elephants bi-weekly over a 12 month period. The purpouse of this article is to decrease ovarian problems in captive elephants. Given the articles academic tone, the intended audience is probably animal health studies proffessions or possibly people that work at zoos.
