over the past several years increasing of cellulites in some regions of the country has been reported. during august and september of 2005, 4.48% of total slaughtered broilers were condemned due to cellulitis in masjid soleiman slaughterhouse. four out of 98 slaughtered flocks were infected to cellulitis. the condemnation rates in infected flocks were: flock 1: 1.55%, flock 2: 0.993%, flock 3: ...

During the course of this UROP, I allowed the flock of birds to communicate with programs and services using PVM, and wrote a rudimentary program to capture data from the flock of birds and the mental model positioning system to allow for comparisons. Doing this involved multiple steps. First, getting the flock to work. Currently there are three birds. They are configured according to the Flock...

This study was carried out to investigate the presence of Salmonella sp in flocks of white laying hens. In different farms, the transport boxes of twelve flocks were inspected at arrival for the presence of Salmonella. Four positive (A, B, L and M) and one negative (I) flocks were monitored at each four weeks using bacteriological examination of cecal fresh feces up to 52 weeks. Birds were also...

This study was carried out to demonstrate the effect of "Good Flock Management" on growth characteristics goats. Studies conducted in province Burdur Turkey under "Focused District Development Project". Goat flocks were Beşkavak village which selected as a model village, used study. The 2019 two goat flocks. birth weights male and female kids determined 4.04 kg 3.58 4.09 3.52 respectively for f...

Foot-pad dermatitis is a major welfare concern of broilers caused by ammonia irritation from the bedding material. In Denmark, an action plan to control the condition was implemented in 2002 with monitoring through a foot scoring system at slaughter and with predefined limits that trigger sanctions. The objective of the present study was to study time trends and to identify predisposing factors...

Phylogenetic analyses based on mitochondrial (mt) DNA have indicated that the cichlid species flock of the Lake Victoria region is derived from a single ancestral species found in East African rivers, closely related to the ancestor of the Lake Malawi cichlid species flock. The Lake Victoria flock contains ten times less mtDNA variation than the Lake Malawi radiation, consistent with current es...

Connectedness among animals in separate flocks reduces the risk of biased comparisons when selecting across flocks on EBV. The objective in this study was to assess levels of connectedness in the genetic evaluation of weaning weight among Targhee and Suffolk flocks participating in the US National Sheep Improvement Program (NSIP). Among flocks currently participating in the NSIP, a total of 25,...

Lifetime (5 yr) lamb production and wool production from 207 straightbred Targhee (T) and 474 1/4 Finn-1/4 Dorset-1/2 Targhee (FDT) crossbred ewes managed in a range or farm flock system were evaluated for ewe fertility, prolificacy, ewe fleece weight, and total lamb weight weaned per ewe exposed. Data included 2,620 ewe exposures, 2,384 parturitions, 4,638 lambs born, and 3,498 lambs weaned. E...

We propose a new animation technique, called flock morphing, to create special morphing effects between two arbitrary 3D objects by combining the features of 3D morphing and flock animation. Its core idea is first to tetrahedralize the source 3D mesh and regard each tetrahedron as an agent in a flock and then continually generate the flock morphing animation until the target mesh emerges, forme...
