The Influence Of Various Marketing Ages On The Growth, Carcass Characteristics, And Economic Indices Of Broiler Chickens, Seham, F. Shehata, Mohamed M.M. Elsokary

Mansoura Veterinary Medical Journal

The global population continues to increase, which drives up demand for broiler meat. Furthermore, the production cycle's duration and the decisions made regarding broiler marketing are important factors, along with productivity and profitability. In this study, the effects of different marketing ages (MA) on carcass characteristics, economic indicators, and broiler chicken production were investigated. A total of 200 male, one-day-old chick Cobb-500 broilers were used. The chicks were divided at random into four equal groups of five replicates. At 35, 42, 49, and 56 days old, distinct marketing ages for broilers were reached. At various marketing ages, performance indicators were …

A Narrative Review On Pathophysiology And The Trends In Preventing Colon Anastomotic Leakage In Animals, Mohammed Albahrawy, Marwa Abass, Esam Mosbah, Gamal Karrouf, Adel Zaghloul

Mansoura Veterinary Medical Journal

Intestinal healing normally proceeds through three stages: the inflammatory, proliferative, and maturation stages. Dehiscence, a disastrous outcome of intestinal anastomosis surgery, usually happens during the inflammatory stage of recovery, when the anastomotic technique (suture or staple line) has the greatest influence on the biomechanical strength of the anastomosis. Because of the severe systemic abnormalities and financial load brought on by septic peritonitis and the need for a second surgery, the ensuing septic peritonitis is linked to an astounding morbidity rate of up to 85%.

Despite the relatively high frequency of anastomosis surgeries, anastomotic leaks pose a deadly risk to colon …

Anatomical And Histological Features Of The Brain Of Adult Common Carp (Cyprinus Carpio), Sayed Shaban, Galal Youssef, Safwat Ebada, Mahmoud B. Shoeib

Mansoura Veterinary Medical Journal

Background: investigated the anatomical features and histological structures of the brain of adult common carp. In addition, these features were compared with those of other types of fish.

Methods: Adult fish (8- 18 M) were collected, their gross anatomical features were inspected; and small specimens from different brain parts were fixed, sectioned, stained, and histologically examined.

Results: In the common carp, the olfactory bulb was round, somewhat tiny, and connected to the telencephalon by a very long, thin olfactory tract. The hemispheres of the telencephalon were located rostrally. Only one median ventral telencephalic ventricle was visible. The torus longitudinalis and …

Students For Fair Admissions: Affirming Affirmative Action And Shapeshifting Towards Cognitive Diversity?, Steven A. Ramirez

Seattle University Law Review

The Roberts Court holds a well-earned reputation for overturning Supreme Court precedent regardless of the long-standing nature of the case. The Roberts Court knows how to overrule precedent. In Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard (SFFA), the Court’s majority opinion never intimates that it overrules Grutter v. Bollinger, the Court’s leading opinion permitting race-based affirmative action in college admissions. Instead, the Roberts Court applied Grutter as authoritative to hold certain affirmative action programs entailing racial preferences violative of the Constitution. These programs did not provide an end point, nor did they require assessment, review, periodic expiration, or revision for greater …
