Nutrient Content Of Camelina Sativa And Feeding Trials In Turkeys, David Frame, Matt Palmer
Nutrient Content Of Camelina Sativa And Feeding Trials In Turkeys, David Frame, Matt Palmer
All Current Publications
There is increasing interest in converting waste cooking oil and oil produced from oilseed crops, such as camelina, into biofuels in order to decrease dependence on petroleum products for fuel sources.
Principles Of Feeding Small Flocks Of Chickens At Home, David D. Frame
Principles Of Feeding Small Flocks Of Chickens At Home, David D. Frame
All Current Publications
Owning a small flock of chickens is increasing in popularity, particularly in areas prohibiting the raising of larger domestic animals. Chickens not only furnish a ready source of home-grown meat and eggs, but also provide great pleasure as exhibition stock and even as pets.
Turkey Sperm Reside In The Tubular Glands In The Urodeum Following Artificial Insemination, M. R. Bakst, V. Akuffo
Turkey Sperm Reside In The Tubular Glands In The Urodeum Following Artificial Insemination, M. R. Bakst, V. Akuffo
United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications
A turkey hen in egg production requires 48 h after the last insemination to maximize the number of sperm in the uterovaginal junction sperm-storage tubules. Where the sperm that continue to fill the oviductal spermstorage sites during this 48-h period reside remains unknown. Histological sections of the juncture of the vagina with the urodeum, the central compartment of the cloaca, revealed deep tubular glands containing periodic acid- Schiff-positive secretory material. When examined 36 h after the last artificial insemination, sperm were observed in the lumen of the tubular glands associated with the urodeum. We suggest that sperm reside in the …
Serotonin Localization In The Turkey Vaginal But Not Sperm Storage Tubule Epithelia, M. R. Bakst, V. Akuffo
Serotonin Localization In The Turkey Vaginal But Not Sperm Storage Tubule Epithelia, M. R. Bakst, V. Akuffo
United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications
Elucidating the cellular and molecular mechanisms regulating sperm selection and transport in the vagina of the hen had been the focus of a limited amount of research over the past decade. New observations indicate the presence of nonneuron endocrine cells in the epithelia lining the lumina of the turkey hen vagina and uterovaginal junction. Although no cells in the vagina or uterovaginal junction surface epithelia exhibited argentaffin staining, typical of cells containing neurosecretory granules, cells restricted to the vaginal and uterovaginal junction but not the sperm storage tubule epithelia were immunoreactive positive to serotonin. We speculate that if released into …
Participatory Strategic Plan For The Marketing Of Chicken Broilers Produced By Beneficiary Families In The Area Of Influence Of The Benson Institute, In The City Otavalo, A. Lourdes Paola García
Participatory Strategic Plan For The Marketing Of Chicken Broilers Produced By Beneficiary Families In The Area Of Influence Of The Benson Institute, In The City Otavalo, A. Lourdes Paola García
Theses and Dissertations
This study was done with the objective of helping families that produce poultry to market their product. Therefore, we determined that it is important to develop a strategic marketing plan to help producers reach their sales targets.
As such, this research is focused on the development of chapters that sustain and support the importance and benefits that will be achieved through the development and execution of the plan. This will help with the satisfaction of demand expectations.
The first chapter shows the theoretical framework, which explains basic concepts about diagnosis, marketing plan, marketing, projects, chicken broilers, and other related topics. …
The Utilization Of Red Blood Cells In Diets For Swine And Poultry, Emily Dawn Frugé
The Utilization Of Red Blood Cells In Diets For Swine And Poultry, Emily Dawn Frugé
LSU Master's Theses
The purpose of this research was to determine if increasing levels of RBC would affect growth performance and carcass characteristics of finishing pigs and growth performance of broilers. Three experiments were conducted to determine the effect of incremental levels of red blood cells (RBC; 0 to 4% and 0 to 2%), and thus increasing levels of dietary Leu on growth performance and linear carcass measurements of finishing pigs. Our results suggest that feeding 3 or 4% RBC causes a decrease in growth performance. However, feeding 1 or 2% RBC in the diets of finishing pigs had no detrimental effects on …
Antibioresistance Of Escherichia Coli Strains Isolated From Chicken Colibacillosis In Western Algeria, Abdelhamid Hamoudi, Hebib Aggad
Antibioresistance Of Escherichia Coli Strains Isolated From Chicken Colibacillosis In Western Algeria, Abdelhamid Hamoudi, Hebib Aggad
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
In western Algeria, 251 Escherichia coli isolates were recovered from broilers with clinical signs and lesions of colibacillosis. Serotyping showed that 82% of the isolates belong to one of the following serotypes: O78, O2, and O1. Antibiograms revealed a high level of resistance to oxytetracycline (82%), amoxicilline and ampicilline (47%), trimethoprim-sulfmethoxazole (42%), oxolinic acid and flumequine (31%). However, only a low percentage of strains were resistant to enrofloxacine (6%) and colistine (3%). Although multiresistance was common, low association was found between the serotype and antibioresistance.
