éagothroime lebheal hormon i fanas gnés dubilte

mar a scriobhtear sa post aitairge, pórú agus fás leanaítings, is fedir fanas a bheith berithe le beirt ginetali cheana in ionnad sonrai firinsceanach agus baninsceanach, glaotar "gneas dubilte" ar an michuma seo. nil an michuma seo dansearach ina ionar, ach de gnath teagann se le eagothroime hormon a fedir an fan a gortu no maru.

as mentioned in the breeding,reproduction and babyguy development post, rarely fauns can be born with two of the same set of genitals instead of both male and female, this is called "double sexing". this deformity isn't dangerous on its own, but can lead to hormone imbalances that can harm or kill the faun.

ta beirt sighas gneas dubilte de gnath, gneas dubilte ginocodach agus gneas dubilte androginach. is e gneas dubilte ginocodach nuair ata beirt utaras, pit agus ceathair ubhagan acu, agus le gneas dubilte androginach ta beirt peineas, ceathair uri agus prostatach meadaithe acu. de bharr na michuma seo de gnath bhionn inomarcha de hormon gneas amhain agus easpa de cheann eile.

there's two main types of double sexing, gynecological double sexing (GDS) and androgenic double sexing (ADS). gynecological double sexing is when the faun is born with two uteruses and four ovaries, and androgenic double sexing is when the faun is born with two penises, four testicles and an enlarged prostate. due to these conditions the faun normally has too much of one hormone and too little of the other.

ar dtus, is fedir linn caint faoi conas a oibrion na hormon difruil i corp an fanas

but first, we can go into how sex hormones can affect a faun's body

éastraigin/estrogen

sa córas atáirgthe baninsceanach tosionn se ubhsceitheadh agus fas an endomitriom tar eist gneas, ach ta se tabhactach do slantechas an corp ar fad fresin. táirgeadh collaigin sa craiceann agus na alt, lebheal sucra sa fuill agus colaistéaról,libídeo, fas agus deisu cnamha agus storan sail sa corp.

in the reproductive system estrogen triggers ovulation and growth of the endometrium after sexual intercourse, but estrogen has some very important roles in the rest of the body too. production of collagen in the skin and joints, blood sugar and cholesterol levels, libido, bone growth and repair, and fat storage.

próigeistéarón/progesterone

sa coras atairgthe baninsceanach deannach an hormon seo an endomitrion nios tubhe agus tachaiocht le torrachas tar eist giniúint, agus tallu tar eist iad a breithe. ach sa corp ar fad cabhrion an hormon seo leis an faireog thíoróideach agus le meoin an fan fresin.

progesterone is responsible for thickening the endomitrium, supporting pregnancy after conseption and lactation. in the rest of the body progesterone helps with thyroid function and temperment

téististéarón/testosterone

sa coras atairgthe firinsceanach ta an hormon seo an-tabhactach i taigeadh cealla siol, ach ta se tabhactach do fas mattan agus deisu cnamha, taigeadh chealla fuill dearg, agus libídeo.

in the male reproductive tract testosterone is responsible for sperm production and maturation, but for the rest of the body it's very important for muscle and bone growth, red blood cell production and libido.

gneas dubilte ginocodach/gynocological double sexing:

de bharr gur bhuill ceathair ubhagan ag na fanas leis an michuma seo, ta i bhad nios mo istrogen agus progestaron agus easpa testosteron de bharr gur nach bhuil uri acu. de bharr e seo fasann cistanna ulmhor ar na ubhagan agus is fedir e seo a forbairt go dti tit dromach. sna por troma leis an galar seo tosnionn siad ag míostraigh ar faidh mhi ar leith agus inmheatróis.

due to fauns with this condition having four ovaries, they produce a lot more estrogen and progesterone and have a lack of testosterone due to having no testicles. because of this huge cysts can develop and without treatment can lead to dorsal collapse. in heavier breeds with this condition they can begin menstuating for months on end and can develop endomitiosis.

beirt uteras comhtháite le cheile agus ceathair ubhagan cludithe i cisteanna/two conjoined uteruses and four overies covered in cysts

fresin, tosion siad ag tal gan leanairudai a breithe de bharr inomarcha progestaron, gan leighasu is fedir leo figh tinn le maistíteas agus cialligh siad sail ar a corp, fresin is fedir leo figh tinn le ailse bhrollaigh.

on top of this, they also start to lactate without having any babyguys, without treatment they can get mastitis, loose condition and can even develop breast cancer.

is fedir le na lebheal hormon seo fiabanna a crothu le slanta intinne fresin, bhionn imni, dúlagar agus neamhchodladh orthu agus is fedir chuir isteach ar a chardicheas le fanas eile.

this hormone imbalence can also affect the faun's mental health too, they can develop anxiety, depression and insomnia and have trouble interacting with other fauns .

gneas dubilte androginach/androgenic double sexing

mar a bhuil nearog tras-piteach an-gearr i fanas le gneas dubilte androginach, bhionn fiabanna le neamhchoinneálacht acu agus ureadra i bhad nios goirre acu, ta ionfhabhtú conair an fhuail an-coitianta sa fanas seo. fresin de bharr gur bhuil prostatach meadaithe acu is fedir leis an faireog seo a bheith cuirithe faoi athlas agus ailse.

due to fauns with androgenic double sexing having a much shorter trans-vaginal nerve, they often have problems with incontinence and on top of having a much shorter urethra, are incredibly prone to urinary tract infections. also due to having an enlarges prostate they can become inflamed or can develop cancer.

de bharr gur bhuil ceathair uri ag fanas le gneas dubilte androginach, ta i bhad inomarcha testosteron i a corp. de bharr e seo scaoltear inomarcha aidréanailín as an faireog aidréineach, chuireann e seo an croi faoi alan strus, ta galar agus taom craoi an-coitianta i sna fanas seo. fresin deannan inomarcha testosteron docar ar a córas imdhíonachta, a craceann agus teagan alóipéice agus aicne ar an fan fresin.

due to having four testicles these fauns also have really high testosterone. due to this too much adreniline is produced leading to stress on the heart, this often develops into heart disease or heart attacks. on top of this too much testosterone does damage to the immune system, skin, and can lead to alopica and acne.

fan le gneas dubilte androginach, ag chiall a ghruig le agus le aicne de bharr inomarcha testosteron/ faun with androgenic double sexing

cruthionn e seo mislantas meabharach mar an cheana le gneas dubilte ginocodach, deanann inomarcha testosteron imni agus iompar bagrach ar an fan.

this also causes behavior problems just the same as gynocelogical double sexing does, fauns with high testosterone typically end up with anxiety and can be aggresive.

leighasu/treatment:

is fedir an fan a leighasu i bheirt sighas gneas dubilte ma aimridigh tu iad agus tugtear instealladh hormon dobh gach la, ach is fedir na hormon seo chuir isteach ar a te no uireannta ni oibrionn siad. de bharr e seo ta an leighas nios cinealta na iad a chuir sios

you can attempt to treat double sexing with sterilization and daily hormone treatments, but this can damage their liver and often aren't affective. because of this the kindest treatment is to put them down

an por fanas opolsci/the opolski faun breed

is iad na fánas ópolscí ná pór feoil a bhuil cáiliúla de bhar a torthúlacht, meon máithriúil agus a méad bainne a bhuil ard i sail crua. de gnáth usáidtear iad mar beoir do suth athphlandaithe, no crossan na feirmeóir iad le pór feoil eile, go háirithe an muic mincéir. de bharr a meoin an-beasach agus chuin, ta siad coitianta i tithi le paisti.

opolski fauns are well known for their prolificacy, maternal nature and high milk quantity that's high in milk solids. normally these fauns are used as beoirs for transplanted embryos or they're crossed with another meat breed, like the ballyer blue. due to their kind temperment they're popular in households with children.

ta an por seo ón cathir Opole i Lubelskie Voivodeship, an Pholainn. tosaigh stair an por nuair a tog inimirceach Polannach droma fanas crossantach fian o Eire go dti an Pholainn de bharr ce cobh saor ata siad chun ceannach agus riar. De bharr gur nach bhuil aon áis DerCo nó pór táirgeadh sa Pholainn agus an chuid is mó den Eoraip, tá na fanas sa áiteanna seo an-crua i aghaidh an fúact, galar, amsir agus górta.

these fauns are from the city Opole in the Lubelskie Voivodeship, Poland. the breed was developed from several feral crosses that where taken by polish immigrants back to Poland due to how cheap they are to buy and raise. because there aren't any DerCo facilities or production breed faun in Poland or most of Europe, fauns from this continent are hardy against the cold, disease, the weather, and starvation.

de bharr e seo ta a lan sighas por fanas o na tir diffruil sa Eoraip, nil fanas, riar fanas no faneoil a ithe mídhleathach i an chuid is mo den AE, seachas sa rFraince, an idoail, an Ghearmáin, an tSualainn agus an Iorua. ach de bharr gur nach bhuil dlithe faoi fanas a comead sa tirthe eile ta fiabanna mor faoi fanas fian mar faolchu bothar agus truptin dathuil ar an trad peatai coimhthíoch.

because of this there are many central European faun breeds, keeping, breeding and eating faun meat is legal in most of the EU besides France, Italy, Germany, Sweden and Norway. however due to the lack of laws on keeping fauns as pets there are huge problems with diggerhorns and bantam patchpelts ending up on the exotic pet trade.

ta fionnadha agus ghruig scub gearr dubh agus srólach ag an fan opolsci le craiceann bán. na beirt rudaí eagsúil a fectéar faoi an pór seo na féasóg gearr dubh timpeall a giall, agus ball ban triantánach ar bár a srón. de gnath ta an meachan de fan opolsci ar leith idir 200-245 kg agus bhionn al de timpeall 15-20 acu.

the opolski faun has a fully black satin coat and short brush hair along with pale skin. the two unique physical characteristics of this breed are a white triangular marking on their nose and short curly facial hair. these fauns typically weigh between 200-245 kg and they have litters of between 51-20 babyguys.

Tit dromach/dorsal collapse

Is é tit dromach ná gorú a tharlíon nuair a fáseann an srath ola neamh-cothrom. tá cúpla slí a fedir é seo a tharlú, ach ar dtús cathigh muid foughlam faoi an próseis as-raca agus conas a tharlíon sé sa corp.

dorsal collapse is a condition that is caused by the oil layer and spinal sac developing unevenly. there's a few causes for this, but to understand how these things can happen, we need to understand how the off-racking process happens in the body.

ceim 1: i fánas pór feoil tá an próseis seo toíithe ó brú ar an drom, is é seo chun an drom a chosant de bharr cé cóbh mór is a fásann na fánas seo. i pór éadrom mar na caorín bán-dearg, faoi cúiseana nádúrithe, tosíonn sé leis an rithim inmheánach sa corp de bharr gur nach fasann na fánas seo ró-trom de gnáth.

step 1: off-racking is triggered by pressure on the spine, this is to protect the spinal cord from being damaged under extreme weight. in lighter breeds off-racking can also be triggered by obesity (more on this later) , but under normal circumstances off-racking is triggered by the faun's internal clock.

ceim 2: tógann na néaroga fógra go dtí an hipótalímas sa inteann chun hormón scaradh droma (HSD) a scaoladh.

step 2: the nerves signal to the hypothalamus in the brain to release spinal separation hormone (SSH).

ceim 3: nuair a scaoltear HSD sa corp fásann an srath ola agus an sac drommach, de gnáth clúdian se an drom agus pairt den inteann.

step 3: the SSH causes the oil layer and spinal sac to develop over the spine and part of the brain.

ceim 4: nuair a fáseann an srath ola agus an sac drommach, gearran siad na nearoga agus sriocean an drom leis an corp agus an chuid is mo den inteann, nuiar a scarran an inteann tosíonn se ag fail bas agus tosíonn an fans an innalu agónolach.

step 4: the spinal sac and the oil layer causes the nerves that connect to the rest of the body to die, starting at the tail then moving up to the brain, when the forebrain starts to disconnect this causes agonal breathing.

Fáth tit dromach/causes for dorsal collapse

tarlion tit dromach de bharr brú neamh-cothrom ar an drom, ansin fáseann an srath ola agus sac drommach díreach ar bun an drom. nuar a tharlíon é seo díreach scarann bun an drom agus an inteann agus fighean an fán bás de bhar docar inteanna.

dorsal collapse is caused by uneven pressure on the spine, to protect itself the oil layer and the spinal sac develop over the affected area. this causes only the lower spine and the brain to disconnect instead of the entire spinal cord, causing severe brain damage and eventually killing the faun.

de gnáth tá cheann de trí cúis an fáth go tharlíon tit dromach: tharlíon tit dromach réamhbhreithe nuar ata an fan ag iompar inomarcha leanaírudí do treimse ró-fada. tá an cheann seo an éasca chun réatach, ag brath ar cé cóbh fáda a bhuil an beoir ina torrachas is fédir na leanaírudí a ginmhill no an bhrethe a spreagadh. chun an sighas tit dromach a cosc is fedir geansai beoir (i bpictuir a 3) a chuir orthí má tá sí ag iompar nios mó na 20 leanaírudí.

normally there's one of three causes for this; prenatal dorsal collapse happens when the faun is pregnant with too many babyguys for too long. this form of dorsal collapse is the easiest to treat, depending on how far along they are the pregnancy can either be terminated or the faun can be induced earlier. for beoirs that are at high risk of developing prenatal dorsal collapse (typically if they have a litter of over 20) they can wear a beoir jumper (picture 3).

is é tit dromach meallach nuair atá meall có mór agus trom ag an fán gur bhuil sé ag deanamh docar don drom. dé gnáth tá na mealla seo ná meall ubhagánach, feictear na mealla seo i na pór caorín bán-dearg agus an muic mincéar.

tumorous dorsal collapse is caused by tumors in the abdominal cavity that are so large they cause damage to the spine. normally these are ovarian tumors, breeds like heatherhorns and ballyer blues are very prone to these.

tá tit dromach meachan-gaolta ná nuair deannan meáchan an fán docair do a drom, de gnáth tharlíon sé seo de bharr ionnomarcha saill ar corp an fánas, ach is fedir tharlú nuair a nach bhuil an cnámh-structúir ceart chun comead suas le fás na mattán. ta an gort seo cotíonta le crosanach idir por feoil agus por éadrom (go hairithe crosantach cóta-catach). tá seo neamhchoitianta i por éadrom agus le íslebhéal hormón gneasach (mar shampla, an caorín bán-dearg) de bharr gur briseann a cosaí faoi an meáchan ribhe. de gnath cathigh fánas leis an gort seo a bheith ciondíothaigh

obesity related dorsal collapse is when the fauns weight is damaging the spine. normally this is caused by the faun being too fat, but this can also happen when the faun's bone structure isn't able to keep up with the faun's muscle growth. this is extremely common in meat breed and light breed crosses (particularly curlcoat crosses). this form of dorsal collapse is uncommon in light breeds with low sex hormone levels (like heatherhorns and freckled mildews) as their legs tend to break under the pressure first. fauns with chronic ORDC need to be culled.

sintom an gort seo/symptoms of dorsal collapse:

ball gorm uillmhóir thar bun a drom, níos airde na an peilbheas/ massive bruise at the end of the faun's spine, just over the pelvis.

pairilis, ar dtús i a cosai thiar agus nios deanaí pairilis lan-corpach/paralysis, starting at the back legs then eventually affecting the whole body.

neamhard ar spreagthaí agus gan frithluail/ unresponsive to outside stimuli or reflex responses

inailu agónal/ agonal breathing

agus gan leighsú, bás inteanna/ and without treatment, brain death

tá sé tábhactach chun féacant amach le haigh na sintóm seo, go háirithe tit dromach réamhbhreithe i beoir, tá sé seo an-easca chun mídhiagnóisigh mar tocsaeime torrachas.

its very important to keep an eye out for these symptoms, especially prenatal dorsal collapse in beoirs since its very easy to confuse this with pregnancy toximia.

Connas chuir cosc ar agus é a leighsú/ how to prevent and treat:

pictuir 3, beoir caorion ban-dearg i geansai beoir, uim a teann faoi bolg an fan chun bru ar an drom a leighdu.

picture 3, a heatherhorn beoir wearing a beoir jumper, a harness designed to ease the pressure on the faun's spine

nuair ata tit dromach i a stait luath, is fedir an fan a sabhail ma tugtear instealladh de hormon scarradh droma (HSD) agus iad a chuir as-raca go-homlain. ach mar a scriobhtear thar i cas ata an gort seo ainsealach, cathigh an fan a bheith cuirthe sios.

if you notice dorsal collapse in its early stages, you can save the faun by injecting spinal separation hormone (SSH) to off-rack them fully. although as mentioned above, in cases of chronic dorsal collapse its better to euthenize the faun.
