Research was conducted to determine response rates and reliability between three modes of survey techniques. Random samples Texas Agri-Science teachers were surveyed using an e-mail instrument, a web-based traditional paper instrument. Responses among each mode compared if the has impact on data collected. Response for also determined compared. Researchers found that while there no significant differences in responses, based collection. Traditional surveys yielded high rate at 60% with drop...

Microwaves have been shown to cause thermal as well nonthermal destruction of pathogens such Salmonella Enteritidis, which is commonly found in shell eggs. The objective this study was examine the use new directional microwave technology reduce Enteritidis without causing any detrimental effects on quality white and brown Treatments were control microwaved Applying resulted a 2-log reduction both high (10(5) cfu/g) low (10(2) inoculum. At d 0, there no differences water activities, albumen...

There exists in our profession a persistent shortage of quality teachers high school agricultural education classrooms. A multitude studies have identified challenges faced by agriculture teachers, however, few, if any, investigated reasons for attrition directly asking leavers why they left. This study sought to identify leaving the as perceived former teachers. Nine secondary were interviewed. Themes emerging from this qualitative case include 1) passions profession, 2) alternative...

Microwaves have been shown to cause thermal as well nonthermal destruction of pathogens such Salmonella, which can be found in shell eggs. The objective this study was determine if using microwave technology would detrimental quality effects Treatments included control (no treatment) and microwave-treated (20 s) There were no differences mineral content, fatty acid profile, Haugh units, broken-out score, yolk index, emulsion stability, pH whole egg, foaming capacity between 2 treatments (P...

ABSTRACT: Meals ready‐to‐eat (MRE) are self‐contained and flexible packages used by military personnel while in the field to store food for an extended period of time; however, inclusion white bread is not a common practice because short shelf life stability spoilage. The objective this study was determine mold inhibition quality attributes over 60‐d after applying directional microwaves. Different loaves were microbiological experiments. For analysis, exposed 0‐, 5‐, 6‐, 7‐, 8‐, 9‐, 10‐s...

Despite being the target of control efforts for many decades, Salmonella enterica continues to be linked with a large amount foodborne illnesses and outbreaks worldwide. Over years, isolated from meat products have exhibited high level antibiotic resistance. In this study, total 351 isolates, recovered cattle fecal samples (n = 31), hides 105), beef carcasses 215) 3 abattoirs in Mexico were analyzed antimicrobial susceptibility. Resistance at least one drug was found 205 (58.4%) isolates 20...

The effects of castration, supplementation, and implant protocol (IP) on growth, carcass characteristics, meat quality grass-fed cattle were evaluated. Two experiments followed a two-way ANOVA 2 × factorial arrangement. Experiment-I, 99 bulls evaluated for: (a) supplementation (mineral (MS) or strategic protein-energy (SS), (b) IP (repeated (day-0 day-90) Zeranol-72 mg implantation (Zeranol-Zeranol) Trenbolone Acetate-140 mg/Estradiol-20 (day-0) by (day-90) (TBA/E2-Zeranol). Experiment II,...

Global trends are demanding agricultural students have a broader perspective of agriculture and competitiveness they become responsible global citizens. This study compared United States Latin American undergraduate students’ knowledge, attitudes, beliefs regarding international issues, as well their attitudes about citizenship. Overall, results indicated lack knowledge with only 3.6% obtaining score above 60%. Students’ recorded positive issues but had mixed feelings citizenship attitudes....

The Journal of International Agricultural and Extension Education (JIAEE) is the official refereed publication Association for (AIAEE). purpose JIAEE to enhance research knowledge base agricultural extension education from an international perspective.

Purpose: The objective was to investigate the role of traditional leaders in implementation food security projects South Africa.Design/Methodology: A qualitative, phenomenological approach used as a research design. purposive sample seven individuals selected representing community, extension agents, and researchers. In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted. Data triangulation establish trustworthiness by using multiple sources information.Findings: Four main themes with series...

Secondary agricultural education has consistently faced a shortage of teachers for the past several decades. Because there are not enough newly qualified certified annually to fill all vacancies, attrition must be addressed. The purpose this research was develop and pilot test an risk assessment instrument. Items were written included in preliminary instrument based on existing literature as well qualitative study we conducted previously. Principal components analysis resulted 25-question...

ObjectivesThis objective of this study was to create a baseline STEC O157:H7, non-O157:H7, and Salmonella spp. prevalence observed on Honduran sheep hides.Materials MethodsSample collection from 68 in slaughter facilities performed aseptically, with pre-hydrated, sterile sponge swabs 100 cm2 section the brisket-foreshank region hide immediately following exsanguination. Microbial detection presumptive serogroups using BAX Real-Time PCR system. Presumptive positive were confirmed through...

ObjectivesThe objective of this study was to determine the impact intervention treatments on organoleptic properties ground pork during shelf-life.Materials and MethodsPork trimmings were divided into 22 kg batches for each individual treatment (n = 4 batches). Treatments included control (no intervention), PAA+Titon [Sulfuric acid sodium sulfate (pH 1.3) combined with peracetic (350 ppm)], PAA+Acetic [Peracetic (400 ppm) 2% acetic acid], LA [Lactic (3%)]. After application designated...
