Effect of floor space during transport of market-weight pigs on the incidence of transport losses at the packing plant and the relationships between transport conditions and losses.
Data on 74 trailer loads of finishing pigs (mean BW = 129.0, SEM = 0.63 kg) from wean-to-finish buildings on 2 farms within 1 production system were collected to investigate the effect of amount of floor space on the trailer (0.39 or 0.48 m2/pig) during transport on the incidence of losses (dead and nonambulatory pigs) at the packing plant and to study the relationships between transport condit...
متن کاملEffects of floor space during transport and journey time on indicators of stress and transport losses of market-weight pigs.
The effects of floor space on the trailer and journey time during transport from the farm to the packing plant on indicators of stress (open-mouth breathing, muscle tremors, and skin discoloration) and on the incidence of transport losses (dead on arrival, nonambulatory, noninjured, and nonambulatory, injured) were evaluated in a study involving 160 loads of market-weight pigs (BW 124.7 ± 4.38 ...

متن کاملIncidence, Production and Economic Losses of Clinical Mastitis in Egyptian Holstein Cows
This study utilized daily records of 2000 Egyptian Holstein dairy cows. The productive, reproductive and economic data during a whole lactation season were recorded for healthy and mastitis cows. Two risk factors for mastitis were included, parity and season of calving. Mastitis cows had significant (P
متن کاملReviewing the Impact of FACTS Devices to Reduce Losses and Voltage Profile in the Pool Market
Abstract: In this paper, a generalized Lagrangian-based algorithm (TRALM) and gravitational search algorithm (GSA) are used to solve the Optimal Load Distribution Problem (OPF) in the presence of FACTS equipment. Four TCSC, TCPST UPFC and SVC equipment’s have been tested. Modeling of FACTS equipment is based on power injection method. To optimally manage production, losses and voltage profiles,...
