Inbreeding is one of the major problems of small size herds of red deer in refuge wildlife parks. The aim of the present study was to use estrus synchronization technique in red deer (Cervus elaphus) based on natural mating to control the dominancy and social rank of stags and inbreeding. In this study, hinds (n=6) were captured and caged at breeding season (early October) in Semeskande Wild Life Refuge Park. The captured hinds were treated with intravaginal progesterone devices (CIDR) for 12 days, followed by injection of 250 IU PMSG at the time of CIDR withdrawal. After 48 hours, all 6 hinds were released from cages. In estrus phase, the chase sequences started and the old dominant stag could not control all of the hinds in his territory so the two other young stags successfully mated with the other hinds. Four out of six hinds became pregnant and the calves were born in early June. The results of this study showed that the estrus synchronization technique in Refuge Wildlife Park which is based on natural mating, can be used successfully to control inbreeding easily and give young stags the opportunity to copulate.

This syndrome is a shock-like hyper metabolic myopathy triggered in susceptible animals by stress. Capture myopathy (C.M.) is a commonly occurring condition in mammals following trapping and transportation. In this case 12 to 24 hours after transportation of red deer (Cevus elaphus) and wild goats (Capra ibex) clinical signs such as: muscular tremor, ataxia, recumbency, hyperthermia, tachycardia, hyperventilation and red brown urine observed. According to symptoms Capture myoparthy was diagnosed Treatment was ineffective on one red deer and one wild goat. Necropsy findings of dead animals were included: hyperemia, petechial hemorrhage in pericardium and heart muscle, pale foci of leg and heart muscles and red brown urine in bladder. This case report represents the attention to Capture myopathy in wild animals and particular caution that should be exercised in capturing and handling of these animals.

A three month-old-male red deer calf (Cervus elaphus maral) was examined post mortem for the cause of death in Arasbaran preserved area in East Azerbaijan in September 2006. The main history of the case was the lack of colostrum intake after birth. The necropsy 6 hours after death, revealed severe general congestion especially in lungs and visceral organs (liver and jejunum). The cut surface of lungs was moist and bronchial lumina contained a large amount of frothy pinkish edema fluid. Diffuse congestion of lung and porteinous exudates was prominent in examination. Histopathological examination revealed shock lung and hepatocytes dissociation with single cell necrosis in liver. Microscopic examination was in line with shock lung and alveolar edema. No parasites were observed within red blood cells. Bacteriological cultures gave rise to gram negative cocoobacilli and further biochemical tests performed on isolated colonies revealed the presence of pure Escherichia coli in liver and Klebsiella pnemoniae in lung. Using serological tests, E. coli serotypes O20 and O114 and Klebsiella pnemoniae serotype K1 were identified in purified bacterial cultures. This report presents endotoxemia and death in a red deer calf with lack of colostrum intake and transportation stress history.
