Mutilations to Bovine Animals Caused by Rodent like Creatures

This is taken from an official report from the National Health and Agroalimentary Quality Service (SENASA), entrusted to Universidad Nacional del Centro (UNICEN) in Tandil.

It concludes the studies performed on dead, mutilated animals, establishing the deaths were the result of natural causes, and the injuries provoked by predators – among them a rodent of the genus Oxymcterus known as the hocicudo rojizo (red muzzle).

Its population has changed and so has its eating habits.

The report points out that deaths of twenty animals studied, taken from livestock facilities in the Buenos Airean districts of Olavarria, Tandil, Tres Arroyos, Coronel Pringles, Coronel Dorrego and Balcarce are “due to natural causes and can be attributed to metabolic or infectious diseases that frequently arise this time of year…”

This according to UNICEN’s chancellor, Dr. N?stor Auza…

Auza participated in a press conference at SENASA’s headquarters, headed by its president, Bernado Can?, along with Alejandro Soraci, dean of the school of Veterinary Sciences of UNICEN, Ofelia Tapia, a toxicologist from the school of Veterinary Sciences of UNICEN, and Ernesto Odriozola, a technician with the Animal Protection Department of INTA-Balcarce.

The conclusions of these studies dismiss radiation, as well as narcotics, at the locations where the animals studied were found, according to technical reports from the schools of mathematics and Natural Sciences and Pharmacy and Biochemistry of the University of Buenos Aires (UBA), which also participated in the tests.

The reports indicate “it was ascertained through direct observation, and under stereoscopic magnifying glass, that the lesions of the animals’ hide and organs were produced by predators,” such as rodents and foxes.

The absence of special elements in the incisions (heat-cauterization) was further shown by means of histological tests.

Field observations confirmed the “presence of rodents around the carcasses, inside the carcasses, and at the moment the animal tissue was ingested.”

Some of these rodents were trapped and subjected to laboratory testing, where they showed “a particular voraciousness for the organs provided” in the experiment.

The characteristics of the rodents correspond to a species that is little developed in our environment, belonging to the genus Oxymcterus, which has proliferated of late, as well as foxes, according to information recorded in previous studies by UNICEN’s fauna and biology group.

The argument set is – “there can be no doubt that a series of environmental, management and production factors have been present and which have impacted the ecosystem in different ways, causing evident imbalances among species, as well as in their habits.”

The study showed that animals studied caused injuries that follow a certain pattern strongly associated between lesions and natural cavities such as mouths, ears, mammary glands, rectums, vulvae and in exceptional cases – if the animal had been dead for a longer period of time – the abdomen.

The team took the most recently dead and unmutilated animals, placing them at selected locations to study predator action, confirming that lesions produced were identical as those found on the rest of the animals studied and found dead.

Can? noted that “at the start of the study, we did not discard the possibility of human involvement, but it has been proven that there was none because of the lack of narcotizing elements. It was also proven in recently slain animals that the incisions are not so precise as serrated, and the studies tell us that the animals died of natural causes and not due to provoked attacks,” adding that “all public agencies concur in this assessment.”

It was added “the most recent dead and mutilated animal cases were involved with the greatest degree of rigor. This is definite proof. This is what was proven.”

Dr. Tapia noted “the rodents’ diet is normally based on worms and bugs, but there has evidently been a change in this habit due to the lack of insects and worms. We are thinking that there is a modification in the normal fauna populations of the red muzzle, but the explanation as to why these rodents changed their dietary habits forms part of a much larger study.”
