Abstract
The workshop was held at Kaamanen, Finnish Lapland, in connection with the opening of the new Reindeer Research Station. There were about 70 participants discussing EU and reindeer husbandry.
Highlights
Many kinds of skin and leather defects cause material loss for the leather indrustry
Reindeer skins are dry salted where they are flayed but because of frost the salt does not go evently into the skin, local defects are generated in the hide by bacterial action
The tensile strength values were highest in aluminum-chromepolyaldehyde-tanned leather
Summary
Many kinds of skin and leather defects cause material loss for the leather indrustry. O n l y two species of nematodes belonging to the genus Robertdollfusidae are known, Durkinema macropi a parasite of marsupials in Australia and Lappnema auris i n reindeer in Finland. The purpose of this study was to find out, if the causative agent is the same as in the cattle or if the reindeer is a host of another Dictyocaulus-spccics. The morphologic information of the rumen-fluke (Paramphistomum sp.) in reindeer is very scarce. This is an attempt to describe and identify the species found in reindeer in Finland. Brucellosis, a bacterial disease, not observed in reindeer in Norway, has been known in reindeer in the former Soviet Union for several years. As a part of the monitoring of the health status among reindeer in Norway, we establish a system for serologic survey for brucellosis
