Behaviour observation and mapping are useful planning tools to generate evidence create people-friendly public spaces. Small-scale interventions gaining popularity as cost-effective quick solutions regenerate degraded urban outdoor environments. Onsite behaviour with GIS underpins gathering, analysis, design decision-making. Using the BlueHealth Assessment Tool (BBAT) developed within EU-funded...

RESUMO
 No Nordeste brasileiro, cuja vegetação predominante é Caatinga, muitas plantas nativas ou exóticas são potencialmente ricas em propriedades curativas, porém pouco exploradas ainda pela ciência. O trabalho foi realizado durante agosto de 2011 a junho 2012, onde foram coletadas amostras bacterianas dos tetos animais através swabs estéreis. Isolados e devidamente identificados, os mic...

Abstract Embryonic development in mammals is strictly controlled. Yet, anomalies regularly occur within certain species. The pig one of few species where variation vertebra numbers frequently occurs. Domesticated lines typically have a greater number thoracic and/or lumbar than the vertebrae most mammals. Number functional teats also variable swine and deviation from bilateral symmetry common. ...

Teat disinfection pre- and post-milking is important for the overall health and hygiene of dairy cows. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a novel probiotic lactobacilli-based teat disinfectant based on changes in somatic cell count (SCC) and profiling of the bacterial community. A total of 69 raw milk samples were obtained from eleven Holstein-Friesian dairy cows over 1...

The hygienic condition of dairy cows and their udders in 128 small household farms different regions Serbia, producing mostly milk, having 5-15 cows, a milk cooler at least one milking machine, was evaluated by the following indicators: 1. general assessment body cleanliness, 2. visual inspection teats udder base, 3. maintenance rated on scale 0 1 or to 5. samples were taken each visit farm aft...

In intensive pig production the weight of the weaned piglet has significant influence on the pig's later performance. The objective of this study is to estimate the relative impact of genetics, feeding, housing, and health factors on the weight gain during the nursing period. The study was performed as a cohort study in 3 farrow-to-finish herds. A technician visited the herds weekly and collect...
