An assessment of the biological and economic efficiency in conversion of milk to growth in N'Dama calves por Agyemang, K., Clifford, K., Little, D.A.

“…Group one receives an average of 347 kg per calf, with a daily and seasonal pattern of feeding designed to stimulate a village production system where calves have access to only part of the milk produced by their dams, the rest being extracted from human consumptions. Group Two received an average of 617 kg per calf, and simulated situations where no milk is extracted such as in a ranch or station - type of operation. …”

Perspectives of predictive epidemiology and early warning systems for Rift Valley fever in Garissa, Kenya por Nanyingi, M.O., Muchemi, G.M., Kiama, S.G., Thumbi, Samuel M., Bett, Bernard K.

“…Rift Valley Fever (RVF) is an arthropod-borne viral zoonosis with a potential global threat to domestic animals and humans. Climate variability is recognized as one of the major drivers contributing RVF epidemics and epizootics that have been closely linked to cyclic occurrence of the warm phase of the El Niño southern oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon. …”

Prevalence of Salmonella contamination in pig and pork at farms and slaughterhouses in the northern provinces of Vietnam por Pham Thi Ngoc, Nguyen Tien Thanh, Tran Thi Hanh, Hung Nguyen-Viet

“…Salmonella is known as one of the most frequent foodborne zoonoses in the world and has been isolated from humans and pork products. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of Salmonella in the pig farms and during slaughter through practice analysis, serotyping, and focusing on the role of specific practices in the final carcass contamination. 82 Salmonella isolates were found among anal swabs, barn floor swabs, feed, drinking water, wastewater, and breeding equipment samples in pig farms and in the same type of samples and carcass swabs collected at slaughterhouses, In total, the main serovars were Salmonella enterica subsp. entericaserovar (S.) …”

Health risk due to exposure to chlorpyrifos for farmers in Thai Binh: Probabilistic risk assessment por Phung Tri Dung, Hung Nguyen-Viet, Tran Thi Tuyet Hanh

“…The research method included three steps: (i) 24-hour urine samples taken from farmers to analyse trichlorpyridinol (TCP), the main metabolite of chlorpyrifos, and then TCP was converted to Absorbed Daily Dose (ADD); (ii) dose-response (RADD) corresponding to acute effects on the nervous system was obtained and recalculated from epidemiologic studies on human population; (iii) the health risk of chlorpyrifos with farmers was evaluated using probabilistic health risk assessment approach with 10,000 trials simulated by Monte Carlo technique. …”
