Anthelmintic resistance has been increasingly reported in cattle worldwide over the last decade, although reports from Europe are more limited. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of injectable formulations of ivermectin and moxidectin at 0.2 mg per kg bodyweight against naturally acquired gastro-intestinal nematodes in cattle. A total of 753 animals on 40 farms were...

BACKGROUND Air pollution has been shown to increase the susceptibility to community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Previously, we observed an increased incidence of CAP in adults living within 1 km from poultry farms, potentially related to particulate matter and endotoxin emissions. We aim to confirm the increased risk of CAP near poultry farms by refined spatial analyses, and we hypothesize that t...

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a causative agent for hepatitis. HEV is transmitted via the fecal-oral route through contaminated drinking water and induces zoonotic infections through eating uncooked and undercooked meat of deer, wild boar, and swine. In Japan, genotypes 3 (G3) and 4 (G4) are prevalent in domestic swine. Here, we examined the genetic variation among HEVs derived from swine fecal sa...

China's dairy farm structure has experienced fundamental changes across farm types. As the number of backyard farms has dramatically declined, the share of dairy cows from backyard farms has decreased by 22.4% from 2003 to 2008. However, the herd numbers of larger dairy farms have increased. In particular, the share of dairy cows has risen by 18.8% on small farms, by 22.2% on medium farms, and ...

On 15 Swiss poultry farms, broiler flocks, other farm animals, and the environment were examined during consecutive rearing periods to investigate the occurrence and genetic diversity of Campylobacter. Of the 5154 collected samples, 311 (6%) from 14 farms were Campylobacter positive by culture. Amongst the positive samples, 228 tested positive for Campylobacter jejuni and 92 for Campylobacter c...

Abstract In this paper, we introduce the notion of a marginal tube, which is hypersurface foliated by surfaces. It generalises marginally trapped tube and several notions black hole horizons, for example trapping isolated dynamical etc. We prove that if every spacelike section surface, then null. There no assumption on topology tube. To it, study geometry surfaces in four-dimensional spacetime ...

This paper defi nes three types of typical certifi ed farms in Kenyan export production: smallholder farms, large-scale contracted farms, and exporter-owned farms. It assesses their economic performance, compares the fi nancial cost of compliance with the EurepGAP standard, and analyses transaction costs. Results show that larger farms are not generally performing more effi ciently compared to ...

The potential of Euglossini bees, especially Euglossa, as biological indicators of organic vs nonorganic coffee farms was studied in Atenas and San Isidro, Alajuela, Costa Rica using 1.8-cineole as lure. Observations were made for three days at each of four farms and complemented with data from a year of observations. Orchid bees were in greater abundance in the organic farms (t-Student test). ...

The Present study is to examine An Economic Analysis of soybean Production in Rajnandgaon district Chhattisgarh, India. was undertaken by taking 80 sample farmers during the year 2020-21. To collect information from area, an interview schedule and survey approach were utilized. objective achieved using cost concepts income measures. cultivation observed highest case large farm lowest marginal f...

The study was conducted in 2022 with a sample of 100 respondents. Red gram respondents were divided into three farms groups marginal, small and medium (27, 13, 10 Maruti 27, 14 9 Charu variety), respectively. Marketing cost variety Rs.760/qtl Rs.780/qtl channel I, Rs.1190/qtl II. margin Rs. 600/ha I Rs.950/ha Rs.930/ha Price spread 1360 Rs.1340/ha 2140/ha Rs.2110/ha II efficiency 6.55 6.1 6.85 ...
