Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis was used for genetic typing of 88 Campylobacter jejuni subsp. jejuni and 4 Campylobacter coli isolates. Restriction endonucleases HindIII and HhaI were used in combination with the selective PCR primers HindIII+A and HhaIII+A. Selectively amplified PCR products were separated in an ABI 310 genetic analyser. After normalization, pattern simi...

The increase in the population on planet leads to an volume of food production. high demand for poultry products a rapid number broiler chickens both world and Ukraine, at same time waste, especially droppings litter.

MANY patients in mental hospitals, while no longer needing the active treatment services of a hospital, are still unable to live in the community without help. In addition, there are many patients in the community for whom hospitalisation is not yet necessary but for whom some form of help is needed to prevent it in the near future. Voluntary and governmental groups have long been aware of the ...

The evaluated ammonia volatilization rates and its association with humidity, temperature, pH in broiler litter conventional dark house rearing systems. Evaluations were performed at 0.01, 1.00, 1.50 m high, using a completely randomized design, weekly frequency for 12 weeks—from the sanitary void to end of 42-day cycle. Litter temperature had no significant difference different types house. Hu...

Background Vertical integration of the broiler industry allows producers to combine different biosecurity and sanitation practices, housing technologies, and feeding regimens to improve food safety. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence and distribution of Salmonella, to determine the source of Salmonella contaminants, and to reveal the relationships between isolates at ea...

This paper describes the development of a scale, the Community-Oriented Programs Environment Scale (COPES), which attempts to systematically assess the psychosocial environments of transitional community-oriented psychiatric treatment programs such as halfway houses, rehabilitation centers, day care centers, and community care homes. The psychometric characteristics of the scale are given, samp...

Geospatial database of farm locations and biosecurity measures are essential to control disease outbreaks. A study was conducted to establish geospatial database on poultry farms in Al-Jabal Al-Gharbi region of Libya, to evaluate the biosecurity level of each farm and to determine the seroprevalence of mycoplasma and its relation to biosecurity level. A field team of 7 Veterinarians belongs to ...
