Factors Related to Shell Deaths During Artificial Incubation of Ostrich Eggs. [PDF]
The ostrich industry experiences a high rate of embryonic mortalities during artificial incubation of eggs. Embryonic deaths were studied from data recorded on 37 740 fertile eggs incubated artificially during the 1998–2005 breeding seasons.

Abstract The emergence of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5N1), clade 2.3.4.4b, genotype B3.13 in U.S. dairy cattle marks a significant shift in the virus' host range and epidemiological profile. Infected cattle typically exhibit mild clinical signs, such as reduced milk production, mastitis and fever, with morbidity generally below 20% and

Finite-element modelling of mechanobiological factors influencing sesamoid tissue morphology in the patellar tendon of an ostrich [PDF]
The appearance and shape of sesamoid bones within a tendon or ligament wrapping around a joint are understood to be influenced by both genetic and epigenetic factors.

Ostrich meat samples coated with chitosan containing nanoemulsion of Eryngium campestre essential oil had lower free fatty acid, peroxide value, and total volatile bases and also lower microbial count. Chitosan coatings incorporated with 2.5% and 5% nanoemulsion of Eryngium campestre essential oil decreased the drip loss and increased the texture ...

FACTORS AFFECTING PRODUCTION EFFICIENCY IN A NEW ALTERNATIVE ENTERPRISE: THE CASE OF THE RATITE INDUSTRY [PDF]
Technical efficiency measures are calculated for ratite producers using data envelopment analysis. Regression analysis is then used to determine producer characteristics that are likely to lead to higher technical efficiencies.

Molecular evidence for gender differences in the migratory behaviour of a small seabird [PDF]
Molecular sexing revealed an unexpectedly strong female bias in the sex ratio of pre-breeding European Storm Petrels (Hydrobates pelagicus), attracted to playback of conspecific calls during their northwards migration past SW Europe.
