The aim of the study was to analyze the frequency of the occurrence of Salmonella and their serotypes on poultry farms, in flocks of pigeons, and feed monitored by the Department of Veterinary Hygiene in Olsztyn in the years 2014-2015. The quantitative and qualitative analysis was conducted according to the requirements of Polish Standards. On the poultry farms 0.9% samples gave positive results and in 2015 the percentage of infected farms was 0.3% lower compared to 2014. S. Enteritidis serotypes were isolated from 0.2% samples from poultry farms and S. Typhimurium from 0.08%. These two most pathogenic serotypes were isolated three times more in 2014 (in 0.41% of cases). S. Enteritidis is the most frequently observed serotype (particularly in broiler chickens) and compared with the results of the previous years (2001-2005) in the same region, the number of cases of this serotype in broiler flocks decreased markedly. Next, there were S. Lexington, S. Kentucky, S. Typhimurium and S. Mbandaka. In 2015 the intensity of the occurrence of S. Enteritidis on farms decreased, and the percentage of positive results S. Enteritidis or S. Typhimurium was the same as in the case of S. Kentucky and S. Mbandaka. In pigeon flocks all isolates belonged to S. Typhimurium, accounting for 2.4%. In the case of feed, 1.34% of positive results were found (0.3% in blends for poultry). The implementation of EU programs to reduce Salmonella contributed to a significant reduction of infected poultry flocks and feed, but at the same time there is a greater variety of serotypes of Salmonella, which on account of their antibiotics resistance may pose a risk.

Currently, powerful modern poultry farms require built-in logistics with an optimized structure of control and management. Such a system requires formalization and ranking, responding to the tasks of specific divisions of enterprises and poultry farms in general. The analysis of the robots on the Russko-Vysotskaya site shows positive results when the Big Dutchman company introduced the BigFarmNet Manager and AMAKS systems for 11 years of operation of this complex allowing to regulate and control the production processes of egg processing, feeding, drinking, to manage the microclimate of poultry houses in real time from the central office or from a portable personal computer using the Internet.

The study was undertaken with a view to compare clinical and laboratory diagnoses of various bacterial diseases of poultry during the period from March 2009 to February 2010 in the laboratory of the Dept. of Microbiology and Hygiene, Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU), Mymensingh. A total of 135 sick and dead chickens (47 broilers and 88 layers) were collected from 12 different poultry farms (4 broilers and 8 layers) of Mymensingh and Gazipur districts which were subjected for clinical followed by laboratory diagnosis. Clinical diagnosis was made on the basis of clinical history, clinical signs and postmortem findings of the affected birds whereas; confirmatory diagnosis was made by using cultural examination, Gram’s staining and different biochemical tests. In this study, out of 47 broilers, 16 (34%) chickens were clinically diagnosed as colibacillosis, 11 (23.40%) as salmonellosis and 2 (4.25%) as fowl cholera. In the same way, out of 88 layer chickens, 28 (31.82%) were diagnosed as colibacillosis, 16 (18.18%) as salmonellosis and 11 (12.50%) as fowl cholera. In laboratory, out of 47 suspected broiler chickens, 12 (25.53%) chickens were diagnosed as colibacillosis, 7 (14.89%) as salmonellosis and 0 (0%) as fowl cholera. Correspondingly of the 88 layer chickens 22 (25%) were diagnosed as colibacillosis, 11 (13.64%) as salmonellosis and 8 (9.09%) as fowl cholera. So the findings concluded that clinical diagnosis is not always accurate like laboratory diagnosis because in most cases clinical history, clinical signs and post-mortem lesions of different bacterial diseases including mixed infections are almost similar to other related diseases and it is recommended to confirm laboratory diagnosis before treatment of the diseases.DOI = http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjvm.v8i2.11188 Bangl.

Mites of the genus Tyrophagus are found everywhere, including in poultry farms. These mites are not parasites of chickens, but they cause indirect effects on chickens in the form of digestive disorders. The main part of the mites dies during the disinvasion of the house in a preventive break. But mites can be brought into the house with biological substrates later. Therefore, it is necessary to look for methods to destroy these mites. The aim of our work was to study the effect of ultraviolet radiation of amalgam lamps with high bactericidal power on the number of adult mites of the genus Tyrophagus in the litter when growing broiler chickens in the experiment. We take broiler chickens, which were divided into two groups, 200 heads each. Broiler chickens were placed in two boxes: experimental and control. Illumination was carried out using LED lamps in both boxes. In addition, UV radiation was performed using an amalgam lamp with a bactericidal radiation power of 90 W in the experimental one. After the birds were planted for research, from 7-day-old chickens to slaughter, every 7 to 8 days, 10 litter samples were taken from both boxes. The research results showed that the extensiveness and intensity of adult ticks of the genus Tyrophagus in the litter from an experimental box is much less than from the control box. Thus, when the surface flux density of UV radiation is 7–11 mW/m2, the number of mites in the litter decreases.

Many scholars consider Kwang-Chung Yu (1928–2017) a prominent practitioner of free verse. The poetic quality of his work shows considerable ingenuity, and a key feature is his use of personification to create a humorous style. Collection of Humorous Free Verses by Kwang-Chung Yu contains the most representative examples of his work. As there are no existing studies on how Yu’s personification technique could be used for language education, the present study takes a qualitative approach to explore this topic. Of the verses featured in the collection, 88% of them use personification, and 102 personified themes were found overall. The discussion consists of four parts that serve as references for language education: (1) an analysis of examples representing the six categories of personified themes, (2) eight major reflection shortcuts for personification; (3) the association and application of eight types of situations for personification; and (4) a review of an online questionnaire and its positive results. The concluding section summarises Yu’s use of personification and presents a comprehensive model of personification for language education based on a pragmatic analysis. This model is a study of a master poet and is sure to be of interest to anyone who wants to know how personification techniques are crafted.

AbstractThe aim of the study was to evaluate the drug resistance of Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium isolated from different types of poultry waste. The study material consisted of feather samples (duck, turkey, chicken), sludge and centrifuge sediment, originating from three poultry farms. The study was conducted in two stages; isolation and identification of Enterococcus bacteria from the waste and evaluation of their drug resistance using Kirby-Bauer method. Contamination of the poultry waste with Enterococcus isolates included E. faecium species (79 %) and E. faecalis (21 %). The most contaminated were sludge and sediment from the centrifuge as well as chicken feathers, irrespective of the place and time of sampling. Tested isolates showed multiple resistance and similar reaction to all antibiotics used in the study and E. faecalis strain was more resistant. Enterococcus isolates showed the highest resistance to streptogramins, carbapenems, fluoroquinones, aminoglycosides and penicillins, and the lowest for nitrofurantions and phenicols.

The coccidiosis is the most remarkable widespread parasitic poultry disease. Due to its clinical or subclinical course which is even more significant, high economical losses are evident. The health and the economical implications of coccidiosis are emphasized in intensive poultry farming. In this paper investigation was performed on the most frequent deviations in application of preventive means against the coccidiosis. The data were analyzed during the period from the year 2005 to 2010. In order to locate possible factors that could contribute to the decreased prophylactic effects of anticoccidials, the flocks of broiler chickens, laying hens and parents were clinically examined and critical steps in farming technology were evaluated in detail. The type of equipment and its performance, and the duration of empty resting period between flocks were noted as the predominant technical determinants. Also some oversights were found in the design of programs for the control of coccidiosis, including the previously used coccidiostats and their efficacy in chicken flocks, the availability of drugs on market and the important elements of epizootiology of the disease. By permanent hygiene practice on poultry farms the infectious pressure may decrease. Anticoccidial drugs are mostly applied and are considered very efficient. However, since coccidia can acquire resistance to antibiotics and residual coccidiostats in consumer meat are found occasionally, their prophylactic use may be limited. The immunoprophylaxis is the most promising method so far. The use of anticoccidial vaccines in poultry stimulates its own immunological capacities and moreover, it enables the production of safe food and products. In recent years there is an increasing interest for the immunoprophylaxis in our country. In our region, the vaccination against coccidiosis is performed in about 90% of parent flocks and in 10 to 20% of commercial layers. However, development of the immune response against coccidia is complex and immune suppression can occur by different factors such as stress inducing conditions, bacterial (salmonella) and viral (Reo, IBDV, MDV, CAV) infections, aflatoxicosis and other. The noted deviations in preventive measures applied to combat coccidiosis were clearly defined. The obligative introduction of HACCP in intensive poultry production implicate planned solutions for the control of coccidiosis.

Meatballs and wet noodles are foods that are favored by the community. The high water content causes these two types of food to be vulnerable and easily damaged in storage. The addition of chemicals such as preservatives in the manufacture of food products is carried out by producers so that the products are more durable, economical, and produce maximum profit. One chemical that is often misused for food preservatives is formaldehyde. Formalin is a dangerous chemical that is carcinogenic, mutagenic, corrosive, and irritating. This study aims to determine whether there is formalin content in meatballs and wet noodles that are sold in the districts of Sukarame, Wayhalim, and Sukabumi. This research was conducted in a qualitative analysis using Schiff's reagent on 30 samples of meatballs and 30 samples of wet noodles which were sold in Sukarame, Wayhalim, and Sukabumi. The results showed that 10 samples of meatballs and 2 wet noodles showed positive results containing formaldehyde.  This shows that around 33.3% of the meatball sample and 6.66% of the wet noodles sample analyzed were identified to contain formaldehyde so that they are not safe for consumption in the long term and people must be careful in selecting meatballs and wet noodles for consumption. Keywords: Qualitative analysis, formalin, meatballs, wet noodles
