Abstract:
ABSTRACT The incidence of salmonellae in 25 turkey flocks of hens, toms and broilers entering a processing plant was investigated by representative sampling of cecae and intestines in each flock. Considerable flock to flock variability was found (0‐72%) with one‐third of the flocks having greater than 10% infection. Variability between flocks from different growers and among flocks from each grower was evident. Certain growers were found to repeatedly ship salmonellae‐infected flocks. There was no difference in the infection levels between the different bird types and the season effect was not significant. This study has shown that it is possible to pinpoint specific salmonellae‐infected flocks that may be contributing to the dissemination of salmonellae in the plant.Keywords:

Objective To explore the incidence of nutritional risk and relative factors in the hospitalized patients in the department of traditional Chinese medicine.Methods Totally 283 cases of hospitalized patients in the department of traditional Chinese medicine of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were enrolled in the study.The method of Nutritional Risk Screening 2002(NRS2002)was used to analyze the incidence of nutritional risk and the data were analyzed by use of SPSS21.0.Results The incidence of nutritional risk was 44.9 %.The incidence of male and female patients developing nutritional risk were 48.2 % and 41.5 % respectively,There is no significant difference between them(x2=1.02,P0.05).The incidence of 15~,40~and 70~ patients developing nutritional risk were 32.6 %,32.9 % and 83.6 % respectively.There is a significant difference among them(x2=7.38,P0.05).The aged patients were easy to suffer from nutritional risk.The incidence of cancer and non cancer patients developing nutritional risk were51.5 % and 38.9 % respectively.There is a significant difference between them(x2=4.01,P0.05).Conclusions The incidence of in-patients with nutritional risk were higher There is no significant difference between male and female patients.There is a significant difference among different age and between caner and non cancer patients.It is useful to use NRS2002 to evaluate nutritional risk of in-patients.

Abstract Using data on flocks of flamingos in Britain and Ireland, the relationship between flock size and breeding in captive flamingos was examined. Breeding flamingo flocks were significantly larger than nonbreeding flocks and larger flocks bred more frequently than smaller flocks. All Chilean flocks containing more than 40 birds have bred successfully; however, one flock of only 4 Chilean Flamingos has reared at least one chick. All Caribbean flocks over 20 birds have successfully reared a chick, yet the smallest flock to rear a chick was one of 14 birds. © 1992 Wiley‐Liss Inc.

Four meat turkey and one turkey breeding flocks were surveyed for antibodies against reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV) at different intervals using commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. In addition, serum samples collected from 18 flocks at different ages were also tested for antibodies against REV. No antibodies were detected in any of the four meat turkey flocks that were surveyed. In the breeder flock, 20%) of tested samples from 1-day-old poults were positive. Between the fourth and 12th weeks all samples that were tested yielded negative results. At 16 weeks of age 15% of samples yielded a positive reaction, but antibodies could not be detected 4 weeks later. Examination of serum samples from 18 different flocks at various ages revealed that antibodies could be detected in five flocks. The percentage of positive sera per flock ranged between 10 and 40%.

A study was conducted to assess the status of anthelmintic resistance in gastrointestinal nematodes (predominantly Haemonchus contortus) of sheep maintained at organized farms and farmer’s field in Rajasthan through in-vivo faecal egg count reduction test and in-vitro egg hatch assay. The magnitude of reduction in the faecal egg counts by fenbendazole (@ 5.0 mg kg -1 body weight) revealed emergence of benzimidazole resistance in H. contortus of sheep from all the farm and field flocks except in field flocks from north-eastern Rajasthan where 66.7% flocks possessed benzimidazoleresistant H. contortus. With tetramisole (@ 15 mg kg-1 body weight) resistance in H. contortus was observed in farm flock of north-eastern region whereas among field flocks it ranged from 33.33% (north region) to 83.33% (eastern region). On egg hatch assay, strains of worms were found susceptible to benzimidazole in farm flocks of northern region while in field flocks prevalence of benzimidazole resistance strongyle worms was 100% in eastern and northern region and 83.33% in north-eastern region. A high agreement (86.4%) with poor linear correlation (r = 0.087) was observed between results of both faecal egg count reduction test and egg hatch assay for benzimidazole resistance.
