Suspected chlamydial foetal loss highlights the need for standardised on‐farm protocols
Chlamydia psittaci is a recognised cause of late‐term equine foetal loss and poses a zoonotic risk in Australia. However, a management strategy is lacking to protect at‐risk humans handling infected aborted material and pregnant mares. This study proposes a protocol for approaching C.

Epizootiology of the Fungal Pathogen, \u3ci\u3eZoophthora Phytonomi\u3c/i\u3e (Zygomycetes: Entomophthorales) in Field Populations of Alfalfa Weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) Larvae in Illinois [PDF]
The influence of the fungal pathogen, Zoophthora phytonomi, on larvae of the alfalfa weevil, Hypera postica, was studied in three alfalfa fields in Illinois. Disease epizootics occurred in all three fields and disease onset was ob- served within a fairly

The Properties of Galaxies in Low Density Regions from the ALFALFA Survey [PDF]
Galaxies detected in the 21-cm line of neutral hydrogen (HI) from the on-going Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA (ALFALFA) blind extragalactic HI survey have been cross-correlated with Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 (Abazajian et al. 2009) in order to define a reference sample of HI content in regions of low galactic density.

Identifying OH Imposters in the ALFALFA Neutral Hydrogen Survey [PDF]
OH megamasers (OHMs) are rare, luminous molecular masers that are typically observed in (ultra) luminous infrared galaxies and serve as markers of major galaxy mergers. In blind emission line surveys such as the Arecibo Legacy Fast Arecibo L-Band Feed Array (ALFALFA) survey for neutral hydrogen (HI), OHMs at z~0.2 can mimic z~0.05 HI lines.

Two Trapping Systems to Determine Incidence and Duration of Migration of Adult Alfalfa Weevils, \u3ci\u3eHypera Postica\u3c/i\u3e (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) [PDF]
Emergence and flight traps were used to study the pre- and post-diapause movements of the alfalfa weevil, Hypera postica. The emergence traps proved to be an excellent tool in determining the time of diapause termination and in providing an accurate ...

Abstract Background To assess how the diagnostic reproducibility of the 2018 Classification of Gingival Recession Defects (GRD) could be applied when comparing in‐person chairside measurements with photographic measurements. Methods Thirty‐four GRD were photographed and evaluated by 4 masked operators.

Luzernegrünmehl in Futtermischungen mit abgesenktem ME-Gehalt für die ökologische Hühnermast [PDF]
Organic diets with low energy and amino acid contents were studied (Bellof, et al. 2005) with positive effects on growth and carcass performance of broilers. Alfalfa is moderately rich in protein, pigments and saponins and limited content of energy (AME).

HI Cosmology in the Local Universe with ALFALFA [PDF]
The Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA (ALFALFA) survey is an on-going second generation blind extragalactic HI survey exploiting Arecibo's superior sensitivity, angular resolution and digital technology to conduct a census of the local HI universe over a cosmologically significant volume.

The Circular Phosphorus Economy: Agronomic Performance of Recycled Fertilizers and Target Crops
ABSTRACT Background The circular phosphorus (P) economy addresses economic and environmental penalties inherent to the current linear P economy. Phosphorus sources recovered from waste steams (recyclates) offer an alternative to conventional fertilizers. Aim This research aimed to assess the agronomic performance of P recyclates derived from wastewater

New varieties of alfalfa are released by commercial breeding companies each year. The Iowa State University forage breeding program, in conjunction with the Iowa Crop Improvement Association, tests commercially available varieties at five locations in Iowa, including at the McNay Research Farm. Funding to conduct these tests is provided by entrants who
