In this paper, we propose a video analytics system to identify the behavior of turkeys. Turkey provides evidence assess turkey welfare, which can be negatively impacted by uncomfortable ambient temperature and various diseases. particular, healthy sick turkeys behave differently in terms duration frequency activities such as eating, drinking, preening, aggressive interactions. Our incorporates ...

The polymorphic forms and amorphous form of TA-270 (4-hydroxy-1-methyl-3-octyloxy-7-sinapinoylamino-2(1H)-quinolinone), a newly developed antiallergenic compound, were characterized by powder X-ray diffractometry, thermal analysis, infrared spectroscopy and solid state 13C-NMR. The intrinsic dissolution rates of polymorphic forms were measured using the rotating disk method at 37 degrees C. The...

An epidemic of Newcastle disease occurred in turkeys of Southern Utah in the late fall of I965. Several workers in intimate contact with the turkeys at the processing plant developed a follicular conjunctivitis subsequently identified as due to Newcastle disease virus. The typical clinical findings and rise in haemagglutinin-inhibition titre indicated that the infection was acquired from the tu...

Sanitary constraints of raising turkey in north-west Benin were studied by using a survey and Haemagglutination Inhibition Test (HIT) to detect antibodies of Newcastle Disease (ND) and Avian Influenza (AI). We tested 85 serums from 7- to 24-month-old turkeys raised in 19 farms. ND prevalence rate was 54% but reactions on four sub-types of AI were negative. Mortality rates varied from 55 to 100%...

Newcastle disease (ND) is a highly contagious infection of many avian species, mainly chickens and turkeys, with a devastating impact on worldwide poultry production. The ND accounts for heavy losses in Iranian poultry flocks. There are some reports regarding the epidemiology of this infection in Iran. This study was performed to investigate the infection of turkeys with a Newcastle disea...

Following experimental inoculation of 3-week-old turkeys with different titres (106, 104, 103, 102 and 101 egg infectious dose (EID50)) of A/ostrich/Italy/984/2000 H7N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV), the selected tissues and organs were examined for pathological changes. Tissue samples from different organs that obtained from dead and sacrificed birds were fixed in 10% neutral...

The pathogenesis, virus shedding, and serologic response in specific-pathogen-free (SPF) chickens and commercial turkeys against H4, H6, and H9 type low pathogenic avian influenza viruses (LPAI) from wild birds was examined. Four-week-old chickens and three-week-old turkeys were given 1 x 10(6) EID50 of LPAI per bird, intrachoanally, and examined for clinical signs for 3 wk. Oropharyngeal and c...

rapeseed is the most widely used oil crop in europe and it is an ideal raw material for the production of biodiesel. because of a high nutritional value and a relatively high omega-3 fatty acids content, rapeseed cake can be used in poultry nutrition for the enrichment of meat and eggs. therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the possibility of using rapeseed cake in diets for turkeys...

ornithobacterium rhinotracheale (ort) is a respiratory pathogen which has been isolated throughout the world from numerous bird species. the present study was designed to isolate and characterize the ort from domestic turkeys, quails and pigeons. for this purpose, 250 samples from each bird species (turkey, quail and pigeon) with or without respiratory signs were tested by taking of tracheal...

OBJECTIVE The study was performed to analyze structural changes of the turkey pineal during the post-hatching development. MATERIAL AND METHODS The pineals were collected from male turkeys at the age of 1 day, 2, 8, 22, 56 weeks and subjected to histological investigations including morphometrical analyses. The pinealocytes were identified immunohistochemically using antiserum against hydroxy...
