On-farm biosecurity practices and causes of preweaning mortality in Canadian commercial mink kits
BACKGROUND Mink are an important animal commodity group in Canada and excessive kit mortality represents a significant loss to production. National biosecurity standards have been developed for Canadian mink farms, but it is unclear how well these standards have been implemented as there are no studies correlating management practices of mink producers with causes of death in mink kits. To that...
متن کاملwind farm impact on generation adequacy in power systems
در سال های اخیر به دلیل افزایش دمای متوسط کره زمین، بشر به دنبال روش های جایگزین برای تامین توان الکتریکی مورد نیاز خود بوده و همچنین در اکثر نقاط جهان سوزاندن سوخت های فسیلی در نیروگاه های حرارتی به عنوان مهم ترین روش تولید توان الکتریکی مطرح بوده است. به دلیل توجه به مسایل زیست محیطی، استفاده از منابع انرژی تجدید پذیر در سال های اخیر شدت یافته است. نیروگاه های بادی به عنوان یک منبع تولید توان...
15 صفحه اولThe use of chemical markers for the identification of farm escapees in feral mink populations
Variations in the contaminant burden in feral and ranch mink, resulting from differences in their diet, may permit the identification of farm escapees. However, this is only possible in the case of contaminants that accumulate to significantly different levels in the two groups of animals. The main objective of this study was to identify chemical markers whose concentrations differ between fera...
متن کاملEvolutionary analysis of whole-genome sequences confirms inter-farm transmission of Aleutian mink disease virus.
Aleutian mink disease virus (AMDV) is a frequently encountered pathogen associated with mink farming. Previous phylogenetic analyses of AMDV have been based on shorter and more conserved parts of the genome, e.g. the partial NS1 gene. Such fragments are suitable for detection but are less useful for elucidating transmission pathways while sequencing entire viral genomes provides additional info...
متن کاملGeneralization of fear in farm mink, Mustela vison, genetically selected for behaviour towards humans
Mink offspring from two genetic lines, selected over 10 generations for confident (C) or fearful (F) reaction towards humans, were exposed to six different tests. The aim was to investigate whether this behavioural selection in mink has affected their reaction in other potentially fear-eliciting situations. A total of 192 naïve mink, males and females, were tested over 6 weeks. C-mink had a sho...
