Free-range use and intestinal parasites in organic/free-range laying hens [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Applied Poultry Research, 2023
SUMMARY: Intestinal parasites are commonly found in non-cage laying hens. Some of these parasites reduce welfare and performance. Anthelmintics are not always effective and may lead to residues in eggs and in the environment. The aim of this study was to

Short and Long-Range Electron Transfer Compete to Determine Free-Charge Yield in Organic Semiconductors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Understanding how Frenkel excitons efficiently split to form free-charges in low-dielectric constant organic semiconductors has proven challenging, with many different models proposed in recent years to explain this phenomenon.

Toxoplasmosis in a Free-ranging Mink [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Wildlife Diseases, 2006
A free-ranging mink (Mustela vison), estimated to be 3 mo old, was found on the campus of Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan; it exhibited clinical signs of left hind limb lameness, ataxia, head tremors, and bilateral blindness. Histologically, the animal had a mild, nonsuppurative meningoencephalitis and severe chorioretinitis with ...

Visual access to an outdoor range early in life, but not environmental complexity, increases meat chicken ranging behavior

open access: yesPoultry Science, 2023
: Not all chickens access an outdoor range when the opportunity is provided. This may be related to the abrupt change in environments from the stable rearing conditions to the complexity of the outdoor range.

Free-Range Eggs? [PDF]

open access: yesScience, 2007
Human eggs are in short supply, but much in demand. Many infertile women need donated eggs if they are to bear children. Researchers need eggs for somatic-cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) to try to develop stem cell lines. If SCNT-derived stem cells could be made from patients suffering from devastating conditions such as motor neuron disease, they could ...

The Free Range [PDF]

open access: yesMechanical Engineering, 2006
This article discusses various aspects of open-source product development. The open-source business definition is the development of a product using components that are not restricted in their use by others. Open source is still novel in the world of mechanical engineering.

Does the environmental background (intensive v. outdoor systems) influence the behaviour of piglets at weaning?

open access: yesAnimal, 2015
Under intensive pig husbandry, outdoor systems offer a more complex physical and social environment compared with indoor systems (farrowing sheds). As the rearing environment affects behavioural development, it can, therefore, influence behavioural ...

Effect of Feed Additives on Productivity and Campylobacter spp. Loads in Broilers Reared under Free Range Conditions

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2017
The poultry reservoir, especially broiler meat, is generally recognized as one of the most-important sources for human Campylobacteriosis. The measures to control Campylobacter targeted essentially the primary production level.

Novelty during rearing increased inquisitive exploration but was not related to early ranging behavior of laying hens

open access: yesFrontiers in Animal Science, 2023
Range use by free-range laying hen flocks is heterogeneous. We hypothesized that ranging behaviour may be motivated by curiosity and thwarted by fearfulness.
