As part of a study on the life cycle of Sarcocystis of reindeer (Rangifer tarandus), silver foxes (Vulpes vulpes) , blue foxes (Alopex lagopus) and dogs were fed muscular tissue of adult reindeer slaughtered at abattoirs in Kautokeino and Karasjok, Finnmark county, Norway. The carnivores had been conventionally reared, but had never been given raw meat before. The carnivores were coccidia-free at the start of the experiments. Faeces were collected daily and examined for the presence of oocysts and sporocysts after flotation with a saturated salt solution. Four separate experiments were carried out, using skeletal (mostly abdominal and thoracic) and/or cardiac muscle from 1 or 2 reindeer in each experiment. The skeletal muscle contained numerous macroscopically visible sarcocysts. Each carnivore was given 0.3-0.5 kg of muscular tissue in a single feeding. A total of 12 foxes and 6 dogs were given raw meat, 4 foxes and 1 dog were given meat that had been kept frozen at -21°C for 2 or 5 days, and 4 foxes and 2 dogs acted as uninoculated controls. None of the control animals, and none of the animals given meat that had been kept frozen, shed any oocysts or sporocysts during the experiments. Of the 18 carnivores given raw muscular tissue, 8 foxes shed small, un sporulated oocysts, while 11 foxes and 4 dogs shed sporocysts (Table 1).
