Summary Eighteen dairy herds were studied, 12 with a 12-month Dairy Herd Improvement Association herd mean somatic cell count ( scc )≤150,000 cells/ml (low ) and 6 >700,000 (high ). At the outset of study, quarter samples for bacteriologic culture collected (in duplicate) from all quarters lactating cows (whole culture). Subsequently, milk clinical mastitis period months. In low , results whole revealed prevalence intramammary infection attributable to major pathogens (<4% quarters)....
To monitor changes in broiler behaviour related to animal health and welfare, farmers typically observe their flocks using manual observation. However, due the labour intensive continuous aspect of this task, analysis could be automated camera technology. This paper proposes a proof-of-concept surveillance system based on detection tracking broilers activity bouts unsupervised 2D trajectory clustering. Firstly, convolutional neural network-based detector was trained tested our labelled...
Black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) are gaining importance in animal feeding due to their ability upcycle low-value agroindustry by-products into high-protein biomass. The present study evaluated the nutritional composition of BSFL reared on brewer's by-product (BBP) and impact thermal (90 °C for 10/15 min) high-pressure processing (HPP; 400/600MPa 1.5/10 treatments microbial levels
Ensiling could be an effective method to preserve seaweeds for animal feed applications, however, there is limited scientific knowledge in this area. Seaweeds are a promising ruminant ingredient, part due the content of phenolic compounds, which receiving considerable interest as alternative antimicrobial agents feed. The aim study was compare effect ensiling on nutritional composition and fermentation characteristics two brown seaweed species, Fucus vesiculosus (FV) Saccharina latissimi...
Phlorotannins have been reported to positive effects on pig health, including improved gut health and digestibility. In this study, we investigate the effect of phenolics found in two brown seaweeds, Ascophyllum nodosum Fucus serratus, vitro dry matter digestibility seaweeds commercial feed. Phlorotannin extracts whole were supplemented into feed test their Solid-phase extraction was used purify phlorotannins. The results showed a slight decrease that be significant when phlorotannin added...
Ruminants are important reservoirs of E. coli O157:H7 and considered as the major source most foodborne outbreaks (e.g., 2017 outbreak in Germany, 2014 2016 United States, all linked to beef products). A promising strategy reduce O157 is using antimicrobials pathogen levels and/or virulence within animal gastrointestinal tract thus disease. The aim study was determine efficacy a commercial mixture natural against O157. minimum inhibitory concentration bactericidal antimicrobial were...
Willow trees represent a suitable species for the development of agroforestry systems, integrating bioenergy and animal feed production. However, there is lack information regarding suitability leaves stems, considered by-product, as feed. The aim this study was employment attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (550-4000 cm-1 ) to investigate differences in nutrient molecular structure profile stems selected willow cultivars understand their utility ruminant...
Do faculty job advertisements in psychology support the goals of excellence teaching, and diversity, equity inclusion (DEI) both their statements essential information that they provide? We examined 596 from November 2021 Jobs Wiki a preregistered study. found universities posting academic jobs often included DEI Statement (78.0%) commonly stated prioritize teaching (49.7%). However, rarely pay (5.4%) or expected course load (28.7%). Using TOST test equivalence, we those who statement...
