Farm-level quantification of antimicrobial usage (AMU) in pig farms.In a cross-sectional study, AMU data on group treatments administered to single batch fattening pigs from birth slaughter (group treatment data) and antimicrobials purchased during 1 year (purchase were collected at 180 farms nine European countries. was quantified using incidence (TI) based defined (DDDvet) used (UDDvet) daily doses (DCDvet) (UCDvet) course doses.The majority weaners (69.5% total TIDDDvet) followed by...
To control the emerging threat of antimicrobial resistance, international policy appeals for appropriate monitoring usage (AMU) at supranational, species and farm level. The aim this study was to quantify AMU in broilers flock level nine European countries.Antimicrobial treatment data one purchased antimicrobials over year were collected 181 broiler farms. Afterwards quantified using incidence (TI) per 100 days based on Defined Daily Dose (DDDvet), Course (DCDvet) or Used (UDDvet) values....
An increasing number of reported detections methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in food animals since 2007 has led to the assumption that there is an emerging zoonotic problem with livestock associated (la)MRSA potentially aggravating MRSA humans. It was objective study investigate, whether present clinical specimens pigs collected at post-mortem 2004 and further characterize these isolates. We studied 138 isolates S. between from various pathological lesions necropsy....
SUMMARY The objective of this study was to compare the occurrence Salmonella spp. found in animal environment pig herds with different risks (61 low seroprevalence, 81 high seroprevalence) on a broad scale. environmental samples were divided into two types: direct ( n =1105) and indirect =1220) samples. All tested for via real-time polymerase chain reaction. Most environments more often -positive high-seroprevalence than low-seroprevalence herds; significantly higher compartment aisles [odds...
In vehicle control, control allocation is often used to abstract variables from actuators, simplifying controller design and enhancing performance. Surveying available literature reveals that explicit solutions are restricted strong assumptions on the or otherwise fail exploit capabilities of actuator constellation. A remedy formulate hierarchical minimization problems take into account limits actuators at expense a longer computing time. this paper, we compared most common norms objective...
Summary Information about the proportion of truly Salmonella ‐free herds is required for an evaluation epidemiological situation, development control strategies and their implementation. Findings regarding presence salmonellas in faeces intestinal lymph nodes as well antibodies meat juice from slaughtered pigs were obtained context a study conducted by number institutes. These data used analysis validity on prevalence infected animals within herds. The batches or with exclusively negative...
In 1977 swine dysentery was made a notifiable disease in the German Democratic Republic, with intention of eradicating it by systematic treatment clinically affected herds using intensive medication and hygiene control programmes. On individual farms scheme appeared to be successful, but national incidence did not decline, owing continuous presence latently infected movement carrier pigs uninfected farms. 1981 re-appraised new introduced one region where all breeding were screened for...
This paper presents a method to recover quadrotor UAV from throw, when no control parameters are known before the throw. We leverage availability of high-frequency rotor speed feedback available in racing drone hardware and software find effectiveness values fit motor model using recursive least squares (RLS) estimation. Furthermore, we propose an excitation sequence that provides large actuation commands while guaranteeing stay within gyroscope sensing limits. After 450ms excitation, INDI...
Though control algorithms for multirotor Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV) are well understood, the configuration, parameter estimation, and tuning of flight takes quite some time resources. In previous work, we have shown that it is possible to identify effectiveness motor dynamics a fast enough recover stable hover after being thrown 4 meters in air. this paper, extend include estimation position Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) relative Center Gravity (CoG), IMU rotation, thrust direction all...
The United States Food Safety Inspection Service has finalized legislation in an attempt to reduce contamination of meat products and increase food safety the States. Hazard Analysis/Critical Control Point Pathogen Reduction Act was June 1996, program begun major laughtering plants U.S. January 1998 ( 1,2). This plan incorporates science-based processing procedures inspection standards improve microbiological meat. act also established new targets for pathogen reduction, which is based on...
