This paper summarizes 29 years of veterinary experience maintaining a herd of muskoxen at the Tierpark Berlin-Friedrichsfelde, Berlin, Germany. The transplanted muskoxen acclimated to the zoo enviroment without fatalities. However, a few striking changes were seen. They exhibit a high sensitivity to sudden changes in weather conditions (especially falling atmospheric pressure); there is a tendency for their qiviut to become sparser with time; rutting and subsequent calving occur later than in their native habitat. Details of medical conditions in both calves and adults ate given along with information on hematology and immobilization.

... Kutz et al. [105] found that the mass die offs were compatible with the introduction of a new strain of the pathogen to naïve populations, underscoring the vulnerability of the muskoxen in a changing Arctic and that E. rhusiopathiae could be implicated in declining populations of muskoxen in Canada. Events of pathogen introduction to naïve populations are expected to increase with climate change [18] and temperature increases 2-3 degrees above average were recorded prior to at least two outbreaks of E. rhusiopathiae on Victoria Island, Canada and non-specific pneumonias have been related to high temperatures in Norway and in captivity [116,122]. The low genetic diversity found within modern muskoxen populations includes a low variability of the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) genes [80,81,123] that could negatively influence their immune responses. ...
