The Ural type of the domestic black-and-white mottled breed features high productivity rates, good suitability for industrial milking technology, but duration its productive longevity is 2.4–2.6 lactations only, although in herds there are cows with up to 10 lactations. decline associated particular reproductive qualities. As a result research, it was found that Sealing Trijun Rockit proved be ...

Brucellosis, a zoonotic disease particularly affecting goats, emerged in Thailand in 2003, resulting in both an occupational hazard for goat keepers and livestock officers, and production losses. Farm management practices have been identified as risk factors associated with Brucella sero-positivity in many studies. Our finding in this study should be considered in order to strengthen the system...

OBJECTIVE To assess the microbiological safety of kale (Brassica oleracea Acephala) produced from farms and those sold at the markets with special focus on coliforms, E.coli and Salmonella. DESIGN A cross sectional study. SETTING Peri-Urban farms (in Athi River, Ngong and Wangige), wet markets (in Kawangware, Kangemi and Githurai), supermarkets and high-end specialty store both within Nairo...

Livestock distribution in the United States (U.S.) can only be mapped at a county-level or worse resolution. We developed a spatial microsimulation model called the Farm Location and Agricultural Production Simulator (FLAPS) that simulated the distribution and populations of individual livestock farms throughout the conterminous U.S. Using domestic pigs (Sus scrofa domesticus) as an example spe...

quantitative and qualitative characteristics and storability of behbahan landrace, selected population from behbahan landrace and primavera cultivar were compared for two years (2009-2010) at behbahan agriculture research station. field experiment was performed based on randomized complete block design containing four replications. seedlings were transplanted in mid-december. a split plot in ti...

The present study was designed to evaluate the effect of Ovsynch protocol in repeat breeding crossbred Jersey cows. A total of thirty four repeat breeding cross bred Jersey cows were subjected to Ovsynch protocol with timed artificial insemination. The pregnancy rate in Ovsynch protocol was 58.82 per cent where as it was 29.41 per cent in control group. Thus, the Ovsynch protocol can be effecti...

Contaminated poultry and poultry products are a major source of motile Salmonellae for human salmonellosis worldwide. Local circulation of any motile Salmonella serovar in poultry has a wider public health impact beyond its source of origin for being dispersed elsewhere through poultry trades or human travels. To investigate the status of motile Salmonella serovars in breeder farms in Banglades...

BACKGROUND Although several attempts have been made to control enzootic bovine leukosis (EBL) at the local level, a nationwide control program has not been implemented in Japan, except for passive surveillance. Effective control of EBL requires that the transmission routes of bovine leukemia virus (BLV) infection should be identified and intercepted based on scientific evidence. In this cross-s...

Before the emergence of penicillin-resistant pneumococci, penicillin was usually the first-line antibiotic in the treatment of pneumococcal infections. The global increase of resistant pneumococci has jeopardized the treatment of pneumococcal infections. Additional resistance to cephalosporins has further limited the treatment options against penicillin-resistant isolates. Furthermore, pneumoco...

Femoral fractures are observed in selective-bred commercial turkeys; however, the etiology of such fractures is unknown. The current study investigated the whole bone morphological, material-level mechanical, and bone ash properties to determine the effect of selective breeding on bone strength. Femora from 3 divergent strains of turkeys, a commercial line, a different selectively bred heavy li...
