  6. On farm monitoring of the impact of water system sanitation on microbial levels in broiler house water supplies

    • Journal of Applied Poultry Research

    • An evaluation of poultry farm water supplies was conducted to determine the impact of broiler farm daily water system sanitation practices on microbial levels. The water systems of 4 commercial poultry barns were sanitized daily with 0.5 to one ppm of free chlorine (Cl) residual, which resulted in an Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) value of ≥ 600 mV at the beginning of the waterlines.

  7. Examination of poultry slaughterhouse wastewater sludge conditioning using microwave irradiation

    • Journal of Applied Poultry Research

    • This experimental study focuses on the changes to the physical and chemical characteristics of poultry slaughterhouse wastewater sludge exposed to varying microwave radiation energy levels, exposure time, and pH. Soluble chemical oxygen demand (SCOD), protein, and PO4-P releases obtained from the sludge were quantified as a function of irradiation energy, exposure time, and pH with the help of Box-Benhken statistical design.

  8. Immune response of broiler chickens supplemented with prebiotic from Sacharomyces cerevisiae challenged with Salmonella enteritidis or Minnesota

    • Journal of Applied Poultry Research

    • Salmonella enterica has more than 2,500 different serovars that have been described as causes of human infections, and S. enterica serovar Enteritidis is the most prevalent of these serovars. In some regions in Brazil, S. enterica serovar Minnesota was prevalent in 37.93% of broiler samples. This study evaluated the effect of a prebiotic (PREB) based on mannan oligosaccharide on the immune response of broilers challenged against Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) or Minnesota (SM).

      Background

      Most acute febrile illnesses (AFI) are usually not associated with a specific diagnosis because of limitations of available diagnostics. This study reports on the frequency of EBV viremia and viral load in children and adults presenting with febrile illness in hospitals in Kenya.

  24. Latest about Spoilage by Yeasts: Focus on the Deterioration of Beverages and Other Plant-Derived Products

    • Journal of Food Protection

    • Food and beverage deterioration by spoilage yeasts is a serious problem that causes substantial financial losses each year. Yeasts are able to grow under harsh environmental conditions in foods with low pH, low water activity, and high sugar and/or salt content. Some of them are extremely resistant to the traditional preservatives used in the food industry. The search for new methods and agents for prevention of spoilage by yeasts is ongoing, but most of these are still at laboratory scale.

  25. Detection of Antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii in Cattle Raised in Gyeongbuk Province, Korea

    • Journal of Food Protection

    • This study investigated the seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii in cattle in Gyeongbuk province, the largest producer of cattle in Korea. Of blood samples obtained from 568 animals, 0.5% (3 of 568) tested seropositive for T. gondii by using a commercial ELISA kit. Among young individuals (≤1 year old), adult individuals (2 years old), and old individuals (≥3 years old), 0 (0%) of 37, 3 (0.6%) of 474, and 0 (0%) of 57 were seropositive, respectively.
