Behavioral response of house flies (Diptera: Muscidae) to 3 bittering agents.

House flies, Musca domestica L., are pests at livestock facilities. House fly numbers are controlled mainly by manure management and chemical controls, like use of toxic baits. Some toxic baits contain denatonium benzoate as a bittering agent, to avoid poisoning of children. House fly behavioral response to denatonium benzoate was examined, using 2 different diluents, sucrose solution or orange juice. Response of flies to quinine and sucrose octaacetate, 2 other bittering agents, was also examined in sucrose. Sucrose is the sweetener in commercially available toxic house fly baits. The proboscis extension response of both male and female flies was significantly reduced by addition of 1,000ppm of denatonium benzoate to sucrose. Response in males was also reduced at 100ppm. Consumption of sucrose by both male and female flies was reduced by addition of 100, 500, and 1,000ppm of denatonium benzoate, but consumption by males was also reduced at 10ppm. Addition of sucrose octaacetate had no detectable effect on consumption of sucrose at 100, 500, or 1,000ppm. In contrast, addition of quinine reduced consumption by both male and female flies in all tested concentrations. In orange juice, 10ppm of denatonium benzoate is often avoided by children. With orange juice, fly proboscis extension response patterns were the same for both sexes, with a reduction at 1,000ppm of denatonium benzoate. Orange juice consumption by flies was reduced significantly at 1,000ppm of denatonium benzoate for females but not at any of the concentrations tested for males.

Impact of Land Use Change on Lake Pollution Dynamics: A Case Study of Sapanca Lake, Turkey

Modeling non-point source pollution dynamics in inland lake basins is essential for safeguarding water quality, maintaining ecosystem integrity, protecting public health, and advancing long-term environmental sustainability. This study explores non-point pollution dynamics in the Sapanca Lake basin, Turkey, in association with the basin’s land use, land cover, hydrology, pollutant sources, and water quality parameters. The required data were gathered via a three-year monitoring program, which was carried out at 12 sampling stations around the lake, as well as using the collecting field measurements and GIS databases. Stepwise multiple regression analysis was employed to determine the best relation between non-point pollutants and land features. The results showed that urbanization and population density have significant correlations with the total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) in the study areas. Rivers crossing pristine areas, such as forests and uncultivated lands, demonstrated better water quality, thereby positively contributing to the lake ecosystem conservation. The highest nutrient loads were observed in streams that flow through highly urbanized sub-basins, followed by predominantly agricultural areas. This is likely due to runoff from urban environments, leaching from cultivated land, and contributions from livestock and tourism facilities. Conversely, densely forested regions exhibited the lowest levels of nutrient loads, highlighting their capacity for nutrient retention. The peak levels of non-point source pollution (TN = 5.22 mg/L and TP = 0.53 mg/L) were recorded in catchments with the highest degree of urbanization, whereas the lowest values (TN = 0.28 mg/L and TP = 0.04 mg/L) were found in the least urbanized areas. These findings emphasize that nutrients primarily impact water quality because of increasing urban and agricultural activities, while forested land plays a vital role in preserving lake water quality. To ensure sustainable water quality in lake basins, it is essential to strike a careful balance between protective measures and utilization policies, prioritizing conservation efforts.

Биотехнологически перспективные свойства бактерий родов Bacillus и Paenibacillus, выделенных из ризосферы пшеницы озимой (Triticum aestivum L.). Часть 1

Bacterial strains were isolated from soil samples collected in the rhizosphere zone of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum) and identified using sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene as members of the genera Paenibacillus and Bacillus, after which amylolytic, pectinolytic, cellulolytic activity were evaluated. The highest amylolytic activity was detected in bacteria of the genus Paenibacillus. All the studied strains (Bacillus or Paenibacillus) showed high pectin and cellulolytic activity. The studied strains are promising for the development of biopreparations that improve plant growth, as well as those aimed at improving digestibility and increasing the efficiency of plant feed utilization in animal diets for a wide range of livestock and aquaculture facilities.

Recent Application of Heat Pump Systems for Environmental Control in Livestock Facilities–A Review

The application of heat pump systems in agriculture, especially within livestock farms, has attracted considerable attention due to their potential for energy efficiency and improved environmental sustainability. Many studies have explored using heat pumps to optimize the indoor environments of barns. This review offers a comprehensive overview and analysis of the current applications of heat pump systems in livestock barn environmental control. Initially, it outlines the fundamental principle of heat pumps and the various types of heat pumps. Then, the technical advantages of the heat pump systems in regulating indoor temperature and humidity of livestock facilities, improving energy efficiency, and reducing environmental impacts are evaluated. Heat pump systems outperform conventional heating and cooling methods in terms of energy utilization and cost-effectiveness, and they positively contribute to reducing environmental pollution. However, some barriers obstruct the widespread adoption of heat pump systems, including policy and regulatory, economic and financial, and technological and infrastructure, as well as public perception and awareness. Future research is recommended to address these barriers. Thus, more heat pump systems in livestock farms could be extensively applied.

Effects of polyphenol-rich extracts and compounds on methane and ammonia emissions from pig slurry during 28-day incubation

Animal manure in livestock production facilities is a major source of methane (CH4) and ammonia (NH3) emissions from agriculture. In this study, we investigated different polyphenol-rich extracts and chemicals including commercial chestnut tannin (CT), shea meal extract (SME) and lignosulfonic acid (LSA) in combination with 1 mM of urease inhibitors acetohydroxamic acid (AHA) and/or sodium fluoride (NaF) to mitigate CH4 and NH3 in an in-vitro setup with 0.5 L slurry reactors mimicking slurry pits in livestock facilities. Daily addition of pig feces and urine along with additives were conducted for 28 days at room temperature, while CH4 and NH3 emissions were monitored by cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) continuously. SME and SME+NaF added to slurry reduced CH4 emission by 72% and 88%, and NH3 emission by 45% and 52%, respectively. CT+NaF at the CT concentration of 2.6, 4.25 and 8.5 mg mL-1, resulted in 48-55%, 70-72% and 81% reduction in CH4 emission, and 17-29%, 40-49% and 49% reduction in NH3 emission, respectively. Emission reduction based on the dosage of CT revealed that the relationship between dosage and emission reduction is not linear, therefore the reduction efficiency was calculated by emission reduction divided by concentration. CH4 reduction efficiency at the CT concentration of 2.6, 4.25 and 8.5 mg mL-1 were 18-21, 16-17 and 10 % (mg mL-1)-1. Therefore, the optimum dosage of CT was 4.25 mg mL-1. In conclusion, addition of CT and SME along with NaF resulted in significant reductions of both CH4 and NH3 emissions, while supplementation of LSA and AHA to CT+NaF did not enhance the mitigation effect.

Structural and Ammonia Adsorption Properties of the Gördes Clinoptilolite After HCl Acid Treatment

The effect of activation with HCl on the ammonia adsorption characteristics of natural Gördes clinoptilolite was studied in order to evaluate the usability of this mineral in various environments where ammonia removal is required, such as livestock facilities. Clinoptilolite was treated with HCl solutions (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 M) at 90°C for 4 h. XRD, XRF, FT-IR, TGA, DTA and N2 adsorption techniques were used for structural and thermal characterization of the adsorbents. NH3 adsorption isotherms were measured volumetric analysis at 298 K up to 100 kPa. Acid activation not only caused textural and structural changes such as removal of exchangeable cations but also affected the thermal behavior and gas retention of the clinoptilolite. Nitrogen adsorption results showed that it is possible to improve the specific surface area and micropore area values of clinoptilolite with acid activation up to 1.5 M. In addition, the NH3 adsorption capacities of clinoptilolite samples (4.33-5.01 mmol.g-1) were compared with the ammonia removal data of natural and synthetic zeolites (1.77 - 9.32 mmol.g-1) reported in previous studies.

GAP Analysis Penerapan Standar Pedoman Budidaya Sapi Potong (Peraturan Menteri Pertanian Nomor 46 Tahun 2015) di Kota Tanjungpinang

The need for protein can be seen from the high demand for beef in Tanjungpinang City. However, beef production in Tanjungpinang City has not increased proportionally. As a result, Tanjungpinang City still has to rely on beef from outside the region because beef cattle cultivation has not yet reached an optimal level. This research aims to analyze the GAP for the technical implementation of beef cattle fattening business following the Standard Cultivation Guidelines (SPB) recommended by the Ministry of Agriculture through Minister of Agriculture Regulation Number 46/Permentan/PK.210/8/2015 concerning Guidelines for Good Beef Cattle Cultivation. This research was conducted in Tanjungpinang City and involved breeders who were members of 15 livestock groups and 195 breeders. This research was conducted through a survey using purposive sampling. The population of this study consisted of breeders who had kept five or more cows in a pen and had been cultivating livestock for the last five years. Based on these criteria, the research sample consisted of 44 breeders. The results of the research are the technical implementation of beef cattle fattening cultivation in Tanjungpinang City based on the Standard Cultivation Guidelines (SPB) recommended by the Ministry of Agriculture through Minister of Agriculture Regulation Number 46/Permentan/PK.210/8/2015 concerning Guidelines for Good Beef Cattle Cultivation. The research results show that environmental condition indicators have a GAP Analysis percentage of 57 percent, livestock seeds 33 percent, building conditions 56 percent, feed availability 51 percent, and livestock facilities and animal health 40 percent. The highest percentage of GAP Analysis is the condition of the building, while the lowest percentage is the selection of livestock seeds.

DETERMINATION OF POL LUTANT EMISSIONS FRO M RABBIT ROOMS INTO ATMOSPHER IC AIR DEPENDING ON THE ACTION OF SOME PARATYPICAL FACTORS

The relevance of the work is determined by the need to determine coefficients of daily emission of pollutants from the premises of small livestock facilities. The aim ofe work was to compare the coefficients of the daily emission of pollutants into the atmospheric air from the rabbit hutch by calculation and instrumental methods. The coefficients of daily emission of pollutants were determined depending on the frequency of ma nure removal and the period of the year. Bibliographic, instrumental, mathematical and analytical research methods were used to fulfill the tasks. The experimental work was carried out in a brick room, equipped with a supply exhaust ventilation system with a mechanical drive, on the farm of the Cherkasy experimental station of bioresources NAAS. The research was carried out using rabbits of the poltavske sriblobreed, which were kept in galvanized cage batteries on a continuous concrete floor with one and two removal of manure. The density of planting rabbits was 12.5-13.0 heads/m2. Analytical studies have shown that in Ukraine, currently, there are no approved indicators of daily emission coefficients from rabbit farms for carbon dioxide and methane. However, they are both greenhouse gases. According to the results of experimental studies, the preliminary coefficients of the daily emission of carbon dioxide and methane for small rabbit breeding facilities were determined. They were, respectively, 1250g x day-1for CO2and 40g x day-1for CH4per 100 kg of live weight of rabbits. In addition, it is shown that the coefficients of daily emission of ammonia into atmospheric air for the winter and spring and summer and autumn periods, determined by the instrumental method, were 1.5-3.2 and 6.3-9.9times higher than the calculated ones, respectively. This may be due to the year-round keeping of the animals in a closed rabbit house with a concrete floor in galvanized cage batteries. At the same time, the coefficients of daily emission of fine dust (PM1-10) for the winter and spring and summer and autumn periods, determined by the instrumental method, were lower by 66.9-188.5 and 55.8-89.4 times, respectively. A significant variability of the coefficients of daily emission of polluting substances from the premises was established, depending on the period of the year, in particular, for ammonia, methane and fine dust. Two time removal of manure from the premises of the rabbit hutch likely reduced the average annual emission coefficients of carbon dioxide, ammonia, and methane by 8.4%, 7.9%, and 17.8%, respectively, but increased the average annual emission coefficient of fine dust by 3.9%

Evil and allies: Opportunistic gulls as both spreaders and sentinels of antibiotic‐resistant bacteria in human‐transformed landscapes

Abstract Human‐transformed residuals, especially those derived from human waste (dumps), farmland, and livestock are involved in the emergence of antibiotic‐resistant bacteria (ARB) in the environment. Wildlife can act as vectors of ARB dispersal through different environments, but also as sentinels to detect the early spread and determine ARB sources. The development of integrated monitoring programmes focused on wildlife would help to anticipate the risks of ARB to humans and livestock. We used the yellow‐legged gull (Larus michahellis) as a model species to investigate and monitor the spatial patterns of ARB dispersal across an extensive farmland region located in northeastern Spain (Lleida). By integrating GPS tracking data and ARB clinical testing for 26 individuals within a network analysis framework, we modelled the risk of spatial pathogen spread through faeces during the bacteria‐transmission latency period (16 days after sample collection). Additionally, we created a connectivity network to determine the main sources of ARB in the area, focusing on three main habitats of special risk for infection: dumps, livestock facilities, and irrigation ponds. Seven individuals were infected by Escherichia coli, with one also co‐infected with Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella spp. Potential pathogen dispersal distances ranged from 1.13 km to 23.13 km from the breeding colony. Our network analyses revealed 54 main nodes (i.e. high‐risk habitats recurrently visited by tracked gulls) and 1182 links among them. Our findings revealed a high degree of connectivity between the breeding area, located in a shallow lake, and nearby dumps, highlighting them as significant contributors to ARB dispersal. Synthesis and applications: The integration of GPS data, pathogen testing and network analyses can shed further light on pathogen dynamics by creating spatial risk maps and identifying ARB sources. In combination with complementary molecular epidemiology techniques within a One Health framework, our approach can emerge as an important tool for monitoring ARB dynamics within highly human‐transformed ecosystems. This may empower managers for the development of targeted ARB monitoring programmes and effective mitigation strategies, ultimately improving both animal and public health.

Assessment of the Safety of Anti-Salmonella Disinfectant for Veterinary Use Based on a Cocktail of Bacteriophages.

The toxicity and safety of a veterinary anti-salmonella disinfectant based on three highly virulent bacteriophage strains (titers 1010 PFU/ml) were studied. Acute, chronic, and inhalation toxicity, as well as local irritancy of the disinfectant were evaluated on outbred white mice CD1 (n=65), Soviet chinchilla rabbits (n=20), and rats (n=20). No toxic effects of the disinfectant was observed after its intraperitoneal or intragastric administration to mice and intragastric administration to rats; in rabbits, application on the skin and eyes produced no local irritation effect. Inhalation of 10% of the disinfectant did not cause any pathologies in mice. Thus, the tests confirmed the high level of safety of the disinfectant based on a mixture of bacteriophages for use as an additional specific disinfection agent against Salmonella in veterinary and livestock facilities.

Influence of Fix Schedule on the Location Accuracy of a Low-Cost GPS Data Logger on Cattle

ABSTRACT Global positioning system (GPS) data loggers are commonly used to track the movements and distribution of both wild and domestic animals. However, the expense often poses a challenge for researchers. Recently, there has been a rise in the utilization of affordable and user-friendly GPS data loggers for tracking animal movements, albeit with compromised accuracy. We aimed to identify factors influencing the accuracy of a low-cost GPS data logger (I-gotU GT-600) and to enhance its location accuracy. Initial investigations revealed that recording intervals impacted the location error of the GPS data logger. To elucidate the relationship between recording intervals and location accuracy, we conducted stationary and motion tests. Our findings indicated that recording intervals of less than 15 sec substantially enhances the location accuracy of the low-cost GPS data logger. Our results highlight the relationship between the fix schedule and location accuracy for these GPS data loggers. Our study provides information that enhances the quality of data for researchers using low-cost GPS data loggers for short-term studies in various settings, such as zoos and livestock facilities.

Environmental conditions in equine indoor arenas: A descriptive study

Indoor arenas do not always include mechanical ventilation or stirring fans and occupancy by horses and humans can be sporadic and inconsistent, which creates a challenging space for understanding and predicting variations in temperature, moisture, and airflow. To understand the interior environment within indoor arenas, monitoring was conducted at 15 facilities within 200 kilometres of Lexington, KY. Environmental monitoring of dry bulb temperature, relative humidity, dew point temperature, air speeds, and solar radiation took place over 7 days in the winter and summer to examine temporal variability. Environmental data was collected every 5 minutes using the HOBO RX3000 Remote Monitoring Station with the HOBOnet Temp/RH Sensor, HOBOnet Solar Radiation (Silicon Pyranometer) Sensor, and HOBOnet Ultrasonic Wind Speed and Direction Sensor. Clear seasonal differences and diurnal patterns were evident in all environmental conditions, but the relative humidity. The relative humidity and dew point temperatures indicated moisture could be an issue in many of the indoor arenas. High relative humidity and excess moisture can negatively impact horse and human health as well as the lifespan of the facility. Similar results to previous spatial variability indoor arena characterizations were observed during the environmental monitoring with air speeds being below the threshold for still air in livestock facilities (0.51 m s-1). Sensor technology and implementation provides a better understanding of the interior environment and how indoor arena design can impact it.

Prevalence, Antimicrobial Resistance, and Characterization of Listeria Spp. Isolated from Various Sources in Ethiopia: A Comprehensive Review.

Listeriosis is an important foodborne zoonotic disease affecting humans and animals in Ethiopia. This review aims to synthesize the epidemiology, prevalence, distribution, and antimicrobial resistance of Listeria species in the country. The literature reveals a widespread occurrence of Listeria infection in humans, animals, and food products, with an average prevalence of 21.6% for Listeria species and 6.9% for L. monocytogenes. Three sequence types (STs) of L. monocytogenes (2, 145, and 18) and twelve STs of L. innocua (1489, 1619, 603, 537, 1010, 3186, 492, 3007, 1087, 474, 1008, and 637) were reported from milk and dairy products. Contamination rates ranged from 4.1% to 42.9% across livestock, dairy, slaughterhouses, and processing facilities, indicating faults in production practices. Sporadic human listeriosis outbreaks have occurred since 1967, causing meningitis, perinatal infections, and deaths, with recent studies showing L. monocytogenes isolation in up to 10.4% of febrile patients, confirming foodborne transmission. Non-pathogenic Listeria species were also common on farms and in facilities. Ovine listeriosis poses a threat to Ethiopia's sheep and goat industries, with over 40% seroprevalence in some herds. Comprehensive control measures across the food chain are needed to curb contamination and protect public health. Isolates from various foods show antibiotic resistance to first-line agents but susceptibility to others like gentamicin and cephalosporins. In conclusion, this review synthesizes evidence on Listeria distribution in Ethiopia's food system and disease burden, highlighting the need for improved food safety policies and awareness.

Reproductive qualities of French breed large white breed sows of different operating value and level of their discretion

This work aimed to investigate the lifespan and breeding use, reproductive qualities, and the level of their discreteness in sows of the large white breed of French breeding, considering their operational value. Agroprime Holding LLC of the Odesa region, the laboratory of innovative technologies, and experimental livestock facilities of the Institute of Pig Breeding and AIP of the National Academy of Sciences carried out the practical part of the work. Evaluation of sows according to indicators characterizing the level of their adaptation and reproductive qualities was carried out taking into account the following characteristics: life expectancy, days; duration of tribal use, days; received farts; all live piglets were born, head.; multifertility, ch.; high fertility, kg.; nest weight at the time of weaning at 28 days, kg; preservation, %. The selection index of reproductive qualities of the sow (SIRQS) was calculated according to the method of O. M. Tsereniuk et al. (2010), the coefficient of discreteness (D) – Seromolot and Sviatchenko (1984). Biometric processing of research results was carried out according to generally accepted methods. It has been established that sows of the large white breed of French breeding, provided they are kept in production premises using innovative technologies, are characterized by high indicators of the level of adaptation and reproductive qualities. Thus, their life span is 905.7 days, the duration of breeding use is 680.6 days, and in terms of reproductive qualities, they belong to the elite class. A significant difference between the groups of experimental animals was established in terms of life expectancy, duration of breeding use, total number of live piglets, multifertility, and litter weight at the time of weaning at the age of 28 days. The maximum indicators of high fertility (1.34 kg) and preservation of piglets until weaning at the age of 28 days (100 %) were found in sows of the “low operational value” category. The coefficient of discreteness of life expectancy and breeding use in sows of I, II, and III experimental groups is equal to 0.406, 0.677, and 0.633, reproductive qualities – 0.828, 0.882, and 0.903, respectively. Coefficients of paired correlation between life span and breeding use of sows and signs of reproductive qualities range from -0.055 to +0.904. The maximum increase in additional production was obtained from sows of the “high operational value” category – +6.80 %, and its value is +355.57 UAH/head/ farrowing.

An Outbreak of the Monkeypox Virus: An Alert to Mankind

A zoonotic condition known as monkeypox (MPX) is brought on by the monkeypox virus (MPXV), a species of the orthopoxvirus family. It was found in 1958 following an epidemic at a Copenhagen, Denmark, livestock facility. MPX has a clinical appearance that is comparable to smallpox (SPX). Laterit’sfinding, MPXV has shown a tendency to infect and cause disease in a significant number of mammalian animals from all over the world. Traveller’s MPX was exported from African countries (Nigeria) to other regions of the world in 2018 and 2019, respectively, raising concerns that MPXV may have emerged to occupy the ecological and immunological niche left by the smallpox virus (SPXV). MPXV first appeared again in 2017 in Bayelsa state after 39 years with no reported cases in Nigeria. This review's goal is to locate all documented cases of human MPXepidemics and pertinent epidemiological data. We made an effort to gather and discuss in this review all articles that have been written about MPXV infections that have been found experimentally or naturally. We also go through the comparative illness courses and the state of our understanding of the biology of infection, epidemiology, diagnosis, spread, and prevention of MPXV globally, particularly concerning humans. The MPXV is regarded as a high-danger pathogen that roots a disease that is significant for public health. To plan effective preventative, preparedness, and response actions, it is vital to concentrate on developing surveillance capacities that will yield meaningful information.
