Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The volatile constitutents of sheep liver were investigated to find new coyote (Canis latrans ) attractants that could be useful for reducing predation of sheep. Steam distillation-solvent extraction of the liver yielded a concentrate which showed good coyote attractancy. In order to identify the most active substances from the many compounds present, silica gel and acid/base fractionations were carried out. Capillary column GLC/MS of these fractions showed over 200 peaks of which 108 compounds were identified. They included a series of aldehydes, hydrocarbons, esters, and aromatic compounds, 15 thiazoles, 9 pyrazines, and 5 pyridines.
