FIELD DAYS A MUST FOR NEW RANCHERS
By Richard Ryerson
Your boat may be afloat and you may have both oars in the water, but are you rowing in the right direction?
Any new rancher, no matter how small, must at-tend a field day with their first crop of young chins. Pick out your best looking 7-8 month old chins and attend a lo-cal field day. Any rancher at the field day will be glad to help you trim the tail and comb your animal or even help you with your entry forms. Field days are a must for all new ranchers so they can compare their animals to other
, conforma-tion, veiling coverage, color phase and size.
. Looking back to our first field day not to long ago, I can still remember the anticipation and the excitement as I se-lected our very best 15 animals and prepared them for the show. We loaded up our chins and drove 300 miles only to find that our best were not good enough. ( 2-5 , 24 , 2 3 1 1st. ) Suddenly you understand what everyone has talked about in herd improvement. Shows are the only way to see what kind of progress you are mak-ing and to learn about quality in your animals ( good or bad).
You will probably be upset with the rancher you bought the animals from because you paid big bucks and you thought they would be all prize winning animals. Any established rancher will not sell you his best ( you
). What he sold you were good quality animals and, hopefully, gave you some leadership from which to build on. It is one of your
and strengths, and how you can improve in your animals and ranching techniques.
Your first show you will meet a lot of different ranchers and probably learn as much in one day as you leaned in your last year. Take these ideas home and im-prove your herd and ranching techniques.
, get BETTER. Get your boat headed in the right direction before it gets a head of steam and becomes to difficult to turn.
Every rancher that had stayed with chinchillas has had
At least one experience like this. With diligence we all get better. Stick with it K.C.
Colorado West ECBC- Spring Field Day
4/24/10
We had a small turnout for our Spring Field Day with 6 exhibitors Present: All of the Field Days have been small this year. I think possibly people just supported everything so well this year that when it came time to travel in the Spring, there was not much time, energy or money left. We will see what happens next year.
Exhibitors:
Roger Clark
Kathy Clark
Kim Sorenson
Cindy Zeller
Luke Fausett, Tommy and Taylor
Ashleigh Powell
Lynn Fairchild Did not show
Mutation 10 animals
Standards 53 animals
Since we had such a small turnout, we decided to make this show into a learning experience for every-one. We all learned about how to judge an animal, what to look for and the different terminology that is used. For the women, Kathy taught a lesson on doing a show book and keeping points. Ashleigh, Lynn and Taylor all helped with that one. Hopefully in a few years we will have others willing to keep the show table that are very competent, and we inspired some-one to become an Empress Judge. A fun time was had by all, we hope to see everyone next year if not be-fore.
Thank you,
Kathy Clark

1. Observation
In your introduction you state. 40 years many different
approaches have been tried in the search for a method of controlling and schedul-ing the breeding activity of chinchillas.This appears to be the subject at issue, but you have allowed your comments to spill over into other subjects that have been researched, and I direct your atten-tion to these particular points in ques-tion.
Observation #1
was conducted during the late 1950and 1060and timere controlled lighting. The re-sults of this experimentation were pub-lished in the chinchilla literature of that era, and has resulted in several theories being disseminated throughout the in-
dustry. . Smith, NEVER, and I re-peat, NEVER was the use of the refrig-erated facilities directed toward the problems of reproduction. Many people, in all sections of the United states, in-vested huge sums of money in refriger-ated installations. The purpose was to establish a feasible method of develop-ing a super dense pelt under controlled conditions and promote more than one harvest a year to help meet the market demands of that time. The New York office of Empress fostered one of these experiments, and ran it a second time under the same conditions as a check. Without going into details at this time as
:, almost all of the refrigerated unit owners came to the same conclusion. The results were questionable and did not warrant the tremendous expense involved to pro-duce a pelt, and as far as I know, all but one of these units are no longer in exis-tence.
I must call attention to the fact that in the refrigerated units, each animal was in an individual pen ( No possible breeding::) Female cycling was inhib-ited as most of the units were dark, damp and cold. Also, this function was discouraged as it was felt that it contrib-uted to fur chewing on the part of frus-trated males. Most knowledgeable op-erators of these units avoided accepting pregnant females for priming as the birth process upset the animals in the unit, and it would be most unlikely that the babies would survive at the low temperatures that were maintained.
At about 1963, the chinchilla ranchers were becoming aware of Dr.
(Article following this article) with the influence of light on living things. Some of our members who were involved in the floral business commented on controlling the blooming of Poinsettia and the Christmas Cactus
for Christmas trade, the Easter Lilies for Easter, and the Chrysanthemum all year around. With the use of controlled light hours, a deer grew its antlers n reverse season (winter) when the daylight hours were reversed. In 1954 the US Dept. of Agriculture published a leaflet, :377 en-
. Dr. Woolson, of Northwestern Univer-sity, made birds change their pattern of migration by controlling the light hours in the aviaries.
Due to experimenting with light, the mink breeders had made the mink welp earlier in the spring. They accom-plished two things, a second litter in the same season, and the mink primed sooner in the early fall. The University of Illinois proved that the outside rows of a field of corn exposed to direct sunlight produced more corn than the ones in the center of the field where the corn was shaded by other rows of corn. By exposing the center of the field to auxiliary light, more corn was produced in the center of the filed. Most of this has been previously published in the Breeder,as items of interest.
After the refrigerated unit fi-asco, our energies were directed to using controlled light hours for priming. The following articles on Prining appeared in the Breeder and gave a detailed account of how priming can be done economi-cally and predictably. The formula has been repeated many times, not only by us, but by many other ranchers. We were highly complimented by University researchers for the manner in which this research was handled.
On june,9, 1963, we were hon-ored to have Dr. Ott spend a whole day with our members and guests of our branch, a report of which was

. This articles was re-published in many, many publications in the United States and Canada and re-ceived the compliments of Dr. John Ott himself. This meeting sparked enough interest that hundreds of ranchers en-tered into a willingness to invest in and install the 100 watt, clear, blue, daylight, incandescent light bulbs. Within a short time, my husband had packages and mailed out over 6,000 (yes 6,000) 100 watt, clear, blue daylight, incandescent light bulbs not only to ranches in the U.S. but Canada, Mexico, England, Sweden, Holland, Belgium, France, Ger-many, Rhodesia, and South Africa, and as previously stated, we know there were many who purchased their light bulbs elsewhere and at times they were the wrong ones as later showed up in their reporting instructions for proper installation were enclosed with each shipment of bulbs. The research was directed to the production of more fe-male babies. II : Past Theories Mr. Smith Speaks At this point, we are entering an
, Dr. Cullum speaks. Alice Kline, reporting, as it ap-pears in the Empress Chinchilla Breeder, November 1985, page 14, Mr. Smith quotes from this article More About the Estrus Cycle of the Chinchilla Dr. Cullum Speaks Alice Kline Reporting On September 20-21, 1969, the Northern Illinois Branch of Empress Chinchilla Breeders Cooperative hosted a seminar conducted by Dr. Leslie E. Cullum at the Holiday inn in Rockford, Illinois. A dinner was held in Dr. on Saturday evening and an all-day meeting was held on Sunday started at 8 a.m. Dr, Cullum was director of the Animal Resources Center and lecturer in biology at the Arizona State University. The professor was very much interested in the estrus cycle of the chinchillas, the effect of ultraviolet light on the animals, artificial insemination, and proper envi-
ronment. He personally oversaw the care of approximately 4,500 chinchillas.
tremendous, and we were very fortunate to have had him as our guest. Quoting from Dr. : their natural habitat, the chinchilla was a hibernating animal. Therefore, they would only breed at certain times of the year. It is possible to change this. Dr. Cullum has proven that a rancher can increase his letter output 400 percent by changing this pattern. A few simple rules must be followed to do this. The first thing is to find a building that has no windows, then maintain a con-stant temperature in that building, and put the animals on a light cycle of 16 hours of light and 8 hours of darkness. NEVER CHANGE THIS PRO-CEDURE. This knocks out the normal function of animals from their natural habitat. The normal breeding habits of the ani-mal in their natural habitat is in the springtime. Then, there should be suffi-
strength, energy, and gain enough weight to carry it over to the wintertime. The chinchillas do not need this, we have then indoors, and we can change all this. It is a proven fact that animals liv-ing under daylight tube lighting with the eight hour darkness cycle, can, and will breed. This is to be a well-lighted room for 16 hours a day and 8 hours of dark-ness lighting is put on a clock and never changed. It Dr. herd should be kept in a room with a temperature of about 73 to 75 degrees,
. With the conditions listed above, the animals will drop one litter, come into estrus, breed again, come into estrus, breed again. This has been proven. This probably will not occur in the first generation, much to change the habits of an adult animal but the young can be brought into the environment you are going to use. The second generation will produce
more young, normally, and the third year, they are on their way. But if you ever go back to having win-dows and doors in the unit, after having used the above methods, the animals will revert back to its original type. Once one starts this system, one must stick with it.
: Mr. Smith continues: In an interview conducted by Mother Earth News, a Mr. John Ott, when asked what some of his early experiments with animals were said-
, where the length of night and day can be controlled in order to enhance the development of heavy pets, the sex ratio in the letters changes from the normal 50/50 to about 95% males. I advised the breeder to replace all the regular, incan-
with daylight, blue bulbs which cut down on the high ratio of red and infra-red found in the regular incandescent bulb. The lights were installed, the lit-ters started coming out 95%female, and the daylight bulbs are now in worldwide commercial use by chinchilla ranchers to increase the number of breeding fe-males. Following on the next page is an original article by Dr. John Nash that I discov-ered on-line. Lighting is now considered not only beneficial to animals and can change their patterns, will tell you that lighting has huge af-fects on our human emotions and many other aspects of life. Vitamin D has now been pronounced one of the most important things that you can do for your health. Being out in
rays is difficult, but most people benefit from a dose of 1000 mg of Vitamin D per day for muscles, depression and other things, especially if you live in North America. I found this all very interesting, and I hope that you do also.

Dr. John Nash Ott
Dr. "day -job" was that of a banker, with horticulture and time-lapse photography as hobbies. These hobbies soon sprouted into a pio-neering career in the new field of photobiology;; the study of light on living cells. Starting in the 1930s, Dr. Ott bought and built more and more time-lapse equipment, eventu-ally building a large greenhouse full of plants, cameras, and even self-built automated electric moving camera systems (the first movie cam-era motion control systems ever built) allowing for cameras to follow the growth of plants as they devel-oped. His time-lapse sequences showing flowers opening and fruits ripening were used in several Walt Disney nature documentaries which aired on the first Chicago television station and later in the Barbara Streisand feature film, "On a Clear Day You Can See Forever."
While working as a consultant for the Walt Disney "Secrets of Life" film series, Dr. Ott found that he could not successfully grow plants indoors under commonly used artificial light-ing. His research found that all living organisms need the full spectrum of light provided by the sun in order to thrive. In addition he discovered that the cathode radiation emitted by all, common fluorescent tubes caused plants to mutate and form unnatu-rally.
Dr. Ott discovered that the growth of plants could be manipulated by vary-ing the color temperature of the lights in the studio, with some colors causing the plants to flower and other colors causing the plants to bear fruit. Dr. Ott even discovered ways to change the gender of plants
merely by varying the light source color-temperature. His cinematogra-phy of flowers blooming in such clas-sic documentaries as Disney's Se-crets of Life (1956), pioneered the modern use of time-lapse on film and television. Dr. Ott wrote a book on the history of his time-lapse ad-ventures, My Ivory Cellar (1958).
Dr. colored lighting systems and their effects on the health of plants led to experiments with light on the health of animals and individual living cells, using time-lapse micro-photography. Dr. Ott observed that only a full spectrum of natural light, which in-cludes natural amounts of ultra vio-let and infra-red light, worked to promote optimum health in people, pets and plants. Dr. Ott made a film, Exploring the Spectrum in the 1960s.
Eventually Dr. Ott turned his atten-tion towards monitoring the benefi-cial effects of full spectrum lighting on certain human physiological con-ditions. Dr. Ott discovered that the color temperature of lights affects mental health, with balanced light reducing hyperactivity in classrooms and reducing negative behavior in prisons and mental health facilities. Dr. Ott discovered that even an indi-vidual cells' ability to properly repro-duce in plants, animals and humans is affected by variances in lighting. Most importantly, he realized that light entering the body through the eyes controls and regulates our brain chemistry which in turn affects how we feel and function. A second book and best seller, Health and Light, detailing these experiments followed in 1973.
In the 80 , Dr. Ott also published a series of seven articles in the Inter-national Journal of Biosocial Re-
search (Tacoma, Washington), a medical journal that studies links between physical and mental health. Titled Color and Light: Their Effects on Plants, Animals, and People, the articles summed up Dr. Ott's decades of independent research, which was contrary to the established "wisdom" of sunglass manufacturers and phar-maceutical companies. These compa-
sudden nega-tive effects of natural sunlight. These companies claimed that the sun was 'now' dangerous to our skin and eyes and that we need to protect ourselves with their expensive sunglasses and sun screen lotion.
Since the invention of the light bulb and the beginning of "three screens" syndrome (cinema, television and computer) much of humanity has progressively become indoor, con-temporary cave-dwellers unwittingly
vital life-giving energy. At the time, Dr. Ott's research efforts generally met with polite indifference from the scientific community but he soon began to attract attention from a wider public audience with his the-ory of mal-illumination, a condi-tion Dr. Ott likened to malnutrition.
-illumination as food is to malnutrition.
Over the years, Dr. Ott expanded his research and was published in many educational and scientific journals, including the New York Academy of Sciences, the National Technical Conference of the Illuminating Engi-neering Society, and the Fourth In-ternational Photobiology Congress at Oxford.

Conservation of wild Chinchillas in Illapel
Chinchillas are caviomorph rodents, which once roamed the hills of Southern America. While thousands and thousands of domesticated chinchillas are kept on farms and as pets, the two extant wild species, the Short-tailed Chinchilla (Chinchilla brevicaudata) and the Long-tailed Chinchilla (Chinchilla lanigera) are both critically endangered species. Once they were distributed in the Andes of Peru, Bolivia, Chile and Argentina, today only a small area of their former habitat in Northern Central Chile remains.Wild Chinchillas are pearl grey, with a body like a squirrel, big, round ears and a bushy tail. The feature they are most known for is their plush fur. While in human skin one hair grows from one follicle, chinchillas sprout fifty or more hairs from one follicle. An adult Chinchilla weighs about 400-500 grams. After a gestation period of 110 days one or two juveniles are born, which are sexually mature after eight months.
Pet and Coats
Because of their shiny, soft fur today Chinchillas are favoured as pets. Furthermore, the animals are bred in fur farms because the demand for their shiny fur is still high.
Danger to the last wild Relatives
About half of the wild population exists in a fenced reserve, the Reserva Nacional Las Chinchillas. The other remaining individuals live on unprotected private grounds. This population is threatened by human intervention, because clearing the land for acres and mines has fragmented the Chinchilla's habitat. In addition, the animals have been hunted intensively since the beginning of the 19th Century. In the first 30 years more than 3 mil-lions of chinchilla coats and a few live individuals were exported from Chile. Some authors report that 21 millions of chinchillas have been hunted in less than 60 years, but only a fraction of these was suitable for export. Although hunting for these animals is forbid-den today the threat is not yet eliminated. The slow reproductive rate makes recovery of the population very slow, if it is possible at all. Grazing animals, logging and mining threaten the last refuge of this species.
Research
After the rediscovery of wild populations of Chinchilla lanigera in the 1970's in Central Chile a series of studies has contributed to the understanding of the Chinchilla's ecology. The topics cover:
Identification and analysis of the Chinchilla habitat
Research upon the plant communities in the habitat
Growing and Planting of native plants to create migration corridors between known population
Further scientific research upon the biology of the Chinchilla
18
Conservation Measures
The Chinchilla's habitat is the focus of this project. Preserving the populations outside the reserve includes the restoration of natural habitat. The areas in which Chinchillas live are being connected by migration corridors. In constant dialogue with local farmers areas out-side the Chinchilla habitat are sought which can be used for grazing cattle. This measure spares the still existent habitat and further involves the local community in the project.
Habitat restoration is mainly achieved by re planting native plant species. Seedlings are bred in the project's nursery. Replanting of vegetation does not only restore habitat for the Chinchilla, but also for other native animal species.
Furthermore, conservation measures include preparation and distribution of educational material. This way the local community is made aware of their natural heritage and edu-cated to save the environment. Surrounding farmers and villagers support the project and by their cooperation they show an increasing positive attitude towards nature and environ-mental conservation.
Support
Since 2000, ZGAP supports the project financially. Further support is greatly appreciated, the easiest way is to make a donation to ZGAP with the purpose "Chinchilla".

THE BIG STING By Mr. Wonderful
Some very smart person once said, all stupid at different things.never more evident than the Sunday after-noon we drove Uncle Lloyd to the hospital E.R. His body was hurting, but his ego was mortally wounded. Uncle Lloyd was a very smart man, literally a rocket scientist. He worked for an interna-tional company, as a rocket systems engi-neer. Mom said his IQ was over 160 and he was a member of the Mensa Society. She said they were a group of geniuses who could calculate the temperature on Mars, but

.
Things started to go to hell in a hand basket, as Mom would say, when she saw hornets flying in and out of a crack under the win-dow that looked onto the patio from Aunt
. Uncle Lloyd said that

I remember saying, ?This was a big mistake around Uncle be-cause it led to a lecture on hornets. are most beneficial to agrarians as they con-sume large quantities of corn earworms, blowflys, blah, blah, blah.cared about at my young age was that they stung. If you asked Uncle Lloyd what time it was, he told you how his watch was made. From its proper place, Uncle pulled out his shop vac and began sucking hornets out of their hiding place. Once or two he took right out of mid-air. Everyone, who was watching from a distance, thought it was genius in motion until the sound of the angry hornets could be heard over the noise of the vacuum motor. They were alive inside the shop vac canister. again showed itself when he announced he would simply asphyxiate the hornets. He turned on the propane to the unlit BBQ grill and for a few seconds sucked up the raw gas with the shop vac. He had the smirk of a know-it-all on his face when he bent down and flipped the shop vac switch off. KABOOM!!!!!! That little bit of propane had found its way to the little spark made from the switch. When the dust cleared, Uncle Lloyd laid in a heap covered with grit and dirt. His hair was singed, and there were three hornet stings on his face. Dad just said, , but I could have told him that was going to hap-pen.
