Observations Of Piping Plovers (Charadrius Melodus) Color Banded In Nebraska And Re-Sighted On The United States Gulf Coast, Mary Bomberger Brown, Joel G. Jorgensen

Nebraska Bird Review

Threatened and endangered migratory birds present a challenge to conservation efforts because they use different habitats during different times of the year. As a result, successful efforts in one part of their range may be nullified by negative events taking place in other parts of their range. In many cases, information that links individual birds or populations to specific breeding, non-breeding, and migratory areas across the species' range is not available. Without these links, it can be difficult to coordinate conservation efforts across the species' range, and species recovery efforts may be less effective. The observation of uniquely marked individuals …

2009–2010 Christmas Bird Counts

Nebraska Bird Review

Fourteen Christmas Bird Counts were held in Nebraska in the 2009–2010 season. The Ames count was cancelled due to weather, the Beaver Valley count returned after a year's absence, and the North Platte count was reinstated after not being officially run since the 1985–86 season. Although the average high and low temperatures were not exceptional, heavy snow cover affected most, if not all, of the counts. Roads were closed due to snow drifts, open water was limited, and at least three counts had to be rescheduled. The total number of species (116) was the lowest since 103 in 1997.

Agricultural and Environmental Sciences Faculty Research

This study was conducted to assess the influence of dietary CP and ME on growth parameters of the French guinea fowl, a meat-type variety. In a 2 × 3 × 3 factorial arrangement, 297 one-day-old French guinea keets (162 females and 135 males) were randomly assigned to experimental diets comprising 3,050, 3,100, and 3,150 kcal of ME/kg, each containing 21, 23, and 25% CP from hatch to 4 wk of age (WOA), and 3,100, 3150, and 3,200 kcal of ME/kg, each containing 19, 21, and 23% CP at 5 to 8 WOA. Using BW and G:F data from hatch to …

Identificación De Salmonella Gallinarum Y Salmonella Pullorum En Pollo De Engorde De La Línea Ross 308, Jose Andersson Piñeros Gordillo, Manuel Arturo Rodriguez Vasquez

Zootecnia

La avicultura de nuestro país ha venido sufriendo un problema de gran relevancia, consistente en la aparición de una enfermedad denominada científicamente como salmonelosis, la cual origina problemas patológicos que ocasionan principalmente alteraciones en los parámetros zootécnicos de las aves, situación que constituye perdidas enormes en las empresas avícolas. En la década de los ochenta se produjo un aumento en los casos de salmonelosis humana trasmitida por los alimentos. La principal fuente fueron los productos avícolas. Esto creo una gran desconfianza para los consumidores, provocando que no compraran estos productos por prevención. También generó dificultades a los avicultores nacionales para …
