Investigations on Listeria spp. in partridge (Alectoris chukar) meat

Amac: Bu arastirmada, keklik etlerinde Listeria spp. ve patojen tur olan Listeria monocytogenes’in varligi arastirilarak insidensinin ve dolayisiyla halk sagligi bakimindan oneminin ortaya konmasi amaclandi.Gerec ve Yontem: Arastirmada, 10 erkek ve 10 disi olmak uzere 20 adet keklik eti kullanildi. Numuneler, keklik yetistiriciligi yapilan ozel bir ciftlikten temin edildi. Kanatli kesiminin yapildigi ozel bir kesimhanede kesilip aseptik sartlarda soguk kosullar altinda laboratuara getirilip analize alindi. Listeria spp.’nin izolasyon ve identifikasyonunda Food and Drug Administration (FDA) tarafindan bildirilen yontem kullanildi.Bulgular: Incelenen 20 keklik numunesinden bir erkek ve bir disi olmak uzere 2’sinin (%10) Listeria spp. ile kontamine oldugu tespit edildi. Kontamine iki numuneden izole edilen 10 izolatin 5’i (%50) L. innocua, 4’u (%40) L. grayi ve 1’i (%10) L. welshimeri olarak identifiye edildi. Oneri: Elde edilen bulgular, keklik etinin halk sagligi acisindan risk olusturabilecegini ve bazi onlemlerin alinmasi gerektigini ortaya koymaktadir. Bu amacla, ozellikle yetistirme ve kesimhane isletmelerinin hijyen kalitesinin yukseltilmesi, capraz bulasmalarin onlenmesi ve tuketim asamasina kadar soguk zincirin saglanmasinin onem arz ettigi kanaatine varilmistir.

THE DIET OF VARANUS GRISEUS IN THE SOUTHERN COASTAL PLAIN OF ISRAEL (REPTILIA: SAURIA)

ABSTRACT Fecal pellets were collected and analyzed microscopically during a two-year study of the desert monitor (Varanus griseus) in a sand-dune area south of Holon. V. griseus was found to be a predator-scavenger carnivore type, eating almost any animal of appropriate size. Although 92.2% of the fecal pellets contained invertebrates (mainly arthropods), the higher frequency of occurrence of the smaller species among the invertebrates is probably due to secondary predation. The main prey items included rodents (mostly gerbils, Gerbillus sp., and jirds, Meriones sp.), bird eggs (presumably chukar partridge, Alectoris chukar eggs), birds (mainly partridge chicks), skinks (Chalcides sp.), fringe-toed lizards (Acanthodactylus sp.), chameleons (Chamaeleo chamaeleon), elegant geckos (Stenodactylus sthenodactylus), tortoises (Testudo graeca) and snakes (including the venomous Vipera xanthina palaestinae). Less frequent were: hedgehogs (Hemiechinus auritus), leverets (Lepus europaeus), Sanis pygmy shrew (Suncus ...

Bird records from Tawang district, Arunachal Pradesh, India

Arunachal Pradesh is known for its rich biodiversity, including avifauna. However, some areas in Arunachal Pradesh still need to be surveyed to document its biodiversity and avian diversity. In order to document the avian diversity in high altitude areas, especially in the north-western region bordering Myanmar and southern China, I carried out surveys in Tawang district, an important eco-region selected for the proposed Biosphere Reserve, which has similarity in bird assemblages with those of neighbouring Bhutan and southern China. Studies were carried out in four phases from November 2007 to March 2012, with more than three surveys of 14 days durations covering 24 localities of Tawang district. The main aim of the surveys was to document the seasonal bird diversity of Zimmithang-Nelya, an Important Bird Area (IBA) in the Eastern Himalaya. The surveys recorded 113 species of birds, including 25 migrant species. Significant records include the Snow Partridge Lerwa lerwa, Eurasian Woodcock Scolopax rusticola, and Broad-billed Warbler Tickellia hodgsoni.

Porous structures of natural materials and bionic design

This investigation and morphology analysis of porous structure of some kinds of natural materials such as chicken eggshell, partridge eggshell, pig bone, and seeds of mung bean, soja, ginkgo, lotus seed, as well as the epidermis of apples, with SEM (Scanning Electronic Microscope) showed that natural structures’ pores can be classified into uniform pores, gradient pores and multi pores from the viewpoint of the distribution variation of pore density, size and geometry. Furthermore, an optimal design of porous bearings was for the first time developed based on the gradient configuration of natural materials. The bionic design of porous structures is predicted to be widely developed and applied in the fields of materials and mechanical engineering in the future.

Effect of temperature on incubation period, embryonic mortality, hatch rate, egg water loss and partridge chick weight (Rhynchotus rufescens)

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of incubation temperature (34.5; 35.5; 36.5; 37.5 and 38.5oC), on incubation period, embryonic mortality, hatching rate, water loss and chick weight at hatch, using daily incubation of partridge (Rhynchotus rufescens) eggs. The highest hatching percentage was obtained between 35.5 and 36.5oC. Incubation length and temperature were inversely proportional. Water loss was lower in eggs incubated at low temperatures as compared to high temperatures. There was no difference among incubation temperatures in absolute and relative hatchling weights. Early embryonic mortality increased at low temperatures ( 36.5oC). Our results show that, under conditions of daily incubation of eggs in the same incubator, higher hatching rate can be obtained using temperatures between 35.5oC and 36.5oC; incubation temperature is inversely proportional to incubation length, and absolute and relative weights of partridge chicks are not affected by incubation temperature.

Morphological Characteristics and Sex Classification of Red-Legged Partridge

L'etude porte sur 794 Alectoris rufa tuees en 9 localites dans le sud de la France, au cours de trois saisons de basse automnale (dans le cadre d'etudes sur la structure des populations). Il y a des differences sexuelles significatives pour les diverses variables considerees, surtout pour la masse corporelle et la longueur de l'aile. Des differences existent egalement pour ces variables selon l'âge. On observe des gradients geographiques pour six des huit variables considerees qui correspondent a des differences altitudinales et climatiques au sein des zones de capture
