The objective of this study was to evaluate the growth performance responses and liver trace mineral status newly weaned steer calves offered a low-moisture, molasses-based block “stress tub” containing organic sources minerals Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation culture during first 21-d 42-d feedlot receiving phase. Newly weaned, single source Charolais x Angus (n = 46; body weight [BW] 240...

From March 19 to April 2, 1982, six cases of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, serotype 0:10, in­ fection occurred following common exposure to a hot tub in Orange County, North Carolina. Clinical illness included severe hemorrhagic external otitis, which, although commonly asso­ ciated with swimming pools, has not been previously reported in the literature for whirlpool/spa settings. Among 24 members of...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to determine differences in postural sway and tolerance to exercise before and after full-body, forearm, and lower leg bathing in warm-water. [Subjects and Methods] Thirteen healthy, young adult males were subjected to full-body, forearm, and lower leg bathing at 41 °C for 10 minutes. [Results] The 2-point discrimination sense value and total trajectory l...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important agent of opportunistic infection in aquatic environments. Our aim was to evaluate the occurrence and antimicrobial resistance of P. aeruginosa in the water of swimming pools in northern Greece. Water samples were obtained from hydrotherapy pools, jacuzzis/spas and swimming pools. A total of 16.6% (45/271) of the samples were positive for P. aeruginosa. Of ...

The dust-bathing behavior of Lohmann Selected Leghorn hens was compared in 4 enriched colony housing systems and in an aviary system. The enriched colony housing systems differed especially in the alignment and division of the functional areas dust bath, nest, and perches. Forty-eight-hour video recordings were performed at 3 time-points during the laying period, and focal animal sampling and b...

background: nowadays there is a strong tendency for early bathing of healthy newborns but little is known about the ther mal stability of newborns in response to early bathing. the aim of this study was to compare the thermal effect of bathing on healthy newborn within 1-2 h of life versus 4-6 h after birth. methods: in this randomized comparative study 100 healthy newborns in a newborn nursery...
