ABSTRACT. Streptococcus suis represents a potential zoonosis risk in farms and slaughterhouse workers that manage pigs or its products directly. The purpose of this study was to determine virulence and serotypes of Streptococcus suis involved in high risk areas in four municipal slaughterhouses (Mexicaltzingo, Ocoyoacac, Toluca and San Pablo Autopan) in the valley of Toluca in the State of Mexico. Samples were taken from all workers in each specific area of the slaughterhouses giving a total of n= 69; cotton swab samples were taken from tonsils for isolation, and bacteriological identification of Streptococcus suis by bacteriological and biochemical procedures. Evaluation of virulence was carried out using a murine model, and serotipyfication was made by coagglutination. Evaluation of results was analyzed with non parametric statistics (chi square) with P ‹ 0.05. Isolation of Streptococcus suis was obtained in each studied slaughterhouse (4 strains, 5.7%). Strains were classified as medium- ...

Streptococcus suis is an important pathogen in the swine industry. This article is the first to report the occurrence, risk factors, serotype distribution, and antimicrobial susceptibility of S. suis recovered from employees and environmental samples of swine slaughterhouses in Brazil. Tonsillar swabs from all 139 pig-slaughtering employees and 261 environmental swabs were collected for detection of S. suis and serotyping by monoplex and multiplex polymerase chain reaction, respectively. Antimicrobial susceptibility was determined by the disk-diffusion method. Although S. suis was not detected in any of the tested employees, it was isolated from 25% of the environmental samples. Significant differences (P , 0.05) in the occurrence of S. suis were observed between slaughterhouses and between areas of low, medium, and high risk. The most frequent serotypes were 4 and 29, each accounting for 12% of the isolates, followed by 5, 12, 21, and 31, each accounting for 6%. High rates of susceptibility to ...

The emergence of vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA) represents a challenge for the treatment of staphylococcal infections in both human and animals worldwide. Although VRSA has been detected in several animal species worldwide, data on the bacterial prevalence in dromedary camels and workers in camel slaughterhouses are scarce. We investigated meat samples from 200 dromedary camel carcasses from three different abattoirs that were being prepared to be sent to the markets. Twenty hand swabs were voluntarily collected from the workers in the same abattoirs. Isolation and identification of the bacterial specimens from the samples were performed using conventional cultural techniques and biochemical identification and were confirmed by PCR amplification of the nuc gene. Antimicrobial susceptibility against nine antimicrobial agents commonly used in human and camels was tested using the disc diffusion method, and genetic analysis was performed by evaluating the mecA gene in phenotypically

The act of slaughtering animals, or of raising or transporting animals for slaughter, may engender psychological stress or trauma in the people involved.[26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37] A 2016 study in Organization indicates, Regression analyses of data from 10,605 Danish workers across 44 occupations suggest that slaughterhouse workers consistently experience lower physical and psychological well-being along with increased incidences of negative coping behavior.[38] In her thesis submitted to and approved by University of Colorado, Anna Dorovskikh states that slaughterhouse workers are at risk of Perpetration-Inducted Traumatic Stress, which is a form of posttraumatic stress disorder and results from situations where the concerning subject suffering from PTSD was a causal participant in creating the traumatic situation.[39] A 2009 study by criminologist Amy Fitzgerald indicates, slaughterhouse employment increases total arrest rates, arrests for violent crimes, arrests for ...

A slaughterhouse or abattoir /ˈæbətwɑːr/ ( listen) is a facility where animals are slaughtered for consumption as food. Slaughterhouses supply meat which then becomes the responsibility of the packaging department. Slaughterhouses that process meat not intended for human consumption are sometimes referred to as knackers yards or knackeries, used for animals that are not fit for consumption or can no longer work on a farm such as work horses that can no longer work. Slaughtering animals on a large scale poses significant logistical problems, animal welfare problems, public health requirements, and environmental problems. Due to public aversion in many cultures, determining where to build slaughterhouses is also troubling. Animal welfare and animal rights groups frequently raise concerns about the methods of transport, preparation, herding, and killing within some slaughterhouses under the example of animal rights activists such as Howard Lyman and Ric OBarry. Until modern times, the ...

To more fully characterize the burden of Salmonella enterica in bovine peripheral lymph nodes (PLN), PLN (n=5,450) were collected from healthy cattle at slaughter in 12 commercial abattoirs that slaughtered feedlot-fattened (FF) cattle exclusively (n=7), cattle removed (or culled) from breeding herds (n=3), or both FF and cull cattle (n=2). Qualitative and quantitative methods were used to estimate prevalence and concentration of Salmonella in PLN. Isolates were subjected to a variety of phenotypic, serological, and molecular assays. Overall, Salmonella prevalence in PLN from FF and cull cattle was 7.1% and 1.8%. However, burden varied by season in that observed prevalence in PLN collected in cooler or warmer seasons was 2.4% and 8.2%, respectively. Prevalence in PLN from cull cattle in the southwest region of the US was 2.1% and 1.1% for cool and warm seasons, respectively; however, prevalence in FF PLN was far greater in that it was 6.5% and 31.1%, respectively. Salmonella was recovered from 289 (5.6%

A cross section study was conducted in Morogoro Municipality to assess microbial contamination in beef production chain from abattoir to retail meat shops during February to May, 2012. Questionnaire on abattoir and meat shop hygiene was administered to 60 respondents. Meat, meat in-contact surface swab and water samples at the abattoir (n=36) and 14 meat shops (n=56) were analyzed for Total Viable Counts (TVC), Total Coliform Counts (TCC) and Total Faecal Coliform Counts (TFC). It was found that the respondents had not attended to any training on meat hygiene, had no protective gears and do not perform regular health examination. The infrastructure appeared obsolete. Carcasses and meat handling environment at abattoir and retail meat shops were in unhygienic condition. Water was scarce in the abattoir and meat shops. Water analysis showed heavy microbial contamination (mean TVC log 5.2±0.3). All the meat and meat in-contact surfaces were at different levels of microbial contamination and were ...

HOFFMAN, L C; BRITZ, T J and SCHNETLER, D C. Prevalent organisms on ostrich carcasses found in a commercial abattoir. J. S. Afr. Vet. Assoc. [online]. 2010, vol.81, n.3, pp.151-155. ISSN 2224-9435.. The prevalent microbial growth on carcasses before and after overnight cooling in an ostrich abattoir and de-boning plant was investigated. The effect of warm or cold trimming of the carcasses was examined together with possible causes of contamination along the processing line. An attempt was made to link the prevalent microorganisms that were identified from carcasses to those from specific external contamination sources. Samples of carcasses and possible contaminants were collected in the plant, plated out and selected organisms were typed using a commercial rapid identification system. It was indicated that the cold trim (mainly of bruises) of carcasses was advantageous in terms of microbiological meat quality. Results indicated pooled water in the abattoir as the most hazardous vector for ...

UK - Beef cattle numbers are falling week on week but are steady year on year in Northern Ireland as plants quote steady prices, say analysts at the Livestock and Meat Commission.

In terms of vulnerability, contemporary slaves are often tricked into work situations where they find themselves powerless to escape. The fate of many immigrant slaughterhouse workers is similar. An increasing number of workers in the meat industry are immigrants and they are usually unaware of their workplace rights. In addition, as many immigrant workers or their family members are undocumented, they are afraid to assert their rights or make complaints to government authorities. The meatpacking companies hire immigrant workers because they are often the only ones who will work under such terrible conditions, says Jamie Fellner, Director of the U.S. program at Human Rights Watch. And they exploit the illegal status of undocumented workers to keep them quiet. In other words, speak up and you will lose your livelihood ...

The research covered three slaughterhouses in Nairobi and Eldoret. The objectives were to assess the prevalence of E. coli O157 serotype contaminated carcasses at dispatch, the possible cross-contamination during transportation, and knowledge, attitude and handling practices that led to increased contamination or bacterial growth. Randomly selected 250 beef carcasses were sampled. Swab samples from a single carcass were obtained from three sites during loading and offloading of meat to carriers. A total of 1500 samples were obtained. E. coli O157 serotype was isolated, and purified using sorbital MacConkey, MacConkey and nutrient agar. Serotyping was by card agglutination test. Oxoid verotoxin test kit was used to test for verotoxin (VT1 and VT2) production. Carrier environment was monitored. Knowledge, attitude and practices of meat transporters were assessed through a semi structured questionnaire and observations. Probability of contamination was modeled and run through Monte Carlo simulation ...

Microbiological data on hygiene indicators are important for assessment of hygiene levels in abattoirs and control of carcass contamination. Risk categorization of slaughterhouses should be based on a process hygiene output through the use of indicator organisms - Total Viable Counts (TVC), Enterobacteriaceae counts (EC) and Salmonella spp. - monitored on carcasses. The level of TVC indicates the overall hygiene in abattoirs (equipment, tools, workers), while the presence of EC on carcasses can indicate fecal contamination which can occur during slaughter/dressing. Detection of Salmonella spp. indicates the presence of pathogens, with potential origin from the farm. The aim of this study was to assess the slaughter process hygiene in abattoirs of different sizes and throughputs, a large- and a small-scale abattoir, and to analyze differences in process hygiene levels based on implementation of their self-control plans, throughout a period of five years for cattle and six years for pigs. In the ...

Neutral fat hydrolysis and long-chain fatty acid (LCFA) oxidation rates were determined during the digestion of slaughterhouse wastewater in anaerobic sequencing batch reactors operated at 25 degrees C. The experimental substrate consisted of filtered slaughterhouse wastewater supplemented with pork fat particles at various average initial sizes (D(in)) ranging from 60 to 450 microm. At the D(in) tested, there was no significant particle size effect on the first-order hydrolysis rate. The neutral fat hydrolysis rate averaged 0.63 +/- 0.07 d(-1). LCFA oxidation rate was modelled using a Monod-type equation. The maximum substrate utilization rate (kmax) and the half-saturation concentration (Ks) averaged 164 +/- 37 mg LCFA/L/d and 35 +/- 31 mg LCFA/L, respectively. Pork fat particle degradation was mainly controlled by LCFA oxidation rate and, to a lesser extent, by neutral fat hydrolysis rate. Hydrolysis pretreatment of fat-containing wastewaters and sludges should not substantially accelerate their

Upon arrival to the slaughter house, the horses are unloaded into waiting pens. At this point, some horses may be dead upon arrival from the transportation or too severely injured to even get off of the trailers. In my opinion, the most horrific aspect of these poorly developed slaughter houses follows the transportation. From the waiting pens, the stressed horses are ushered through chutes- the final stage of their journey. They are then paralyzed by a captive bolt gun. In the article, The Slaughter Process: Walking the Halls of Horror, the captive bolt gun and the killing process is further described as a device powered by compressed air that drives at high speed a steel bolt to the target, theoretically causing brain damage resulting in loss of consciousness. It does not kill, actual death is caused by exsanguination (loss of blood) caused by throat slitting. The captive bolt gun does not work well with the horse; the animals are not restrained (causing the target to be missed) and ...

After testing for Salmonella and E. coli on a variety of beef carcasses at slaughter plants, federal food safety authorities are saying that slaughter

Staphylococcus aureus is an important opportunistic pathogen of humans and animals and a leading global cause of foodborne disease (1). Poultry as a potential reservoir for the zoonotic transmission of drug-resistant S. aureus to humans has been well documented (2). Despite the apparent threat, the genomics of antibiotic-resistant S. aureus in food animals appear to be neglected in Africa (3, 4). Toward this end, S. aureus SA9, isolated from a slaughterhouse chicken carcass in South Africa, was subjected to whole-genome sequencing (WGS). Antimicrobial susceptibility testing utilizing the broth microdilution method revealed its multidrug-resistant profile.. Strain SA9 was isolated and confirmed using HiCrome Aureus agar base (HiMedia Laboratories, Mumbai, India) and an API Staph kit (bioMérieux, Marcy-lEtoile, France), respectively. It was streaked onto Mueller-Hinton agar (MHA) plates and incubated at 37°C for 24 h. Following incubation, genomic DNA was extracted from 1 CFU of a visibly pure ...

Global fetal bovine serum market is expected to grow at a significant CAGR in the upcoming period as the scope and its applications are rising enormously across the globe. Fetal bovine serum (FBS) is a media supplement used for cell culture and is derived from whole blood obtained from usual bovine fetuses collected from healthy cows at slaughterhouses. It is a byproduct of meat processing industries. The key component of FBS is bovine serum albumin. The factors that are playing a major role in the growth of fetal bovine serum market are the growing demand from end-users and is easy for regulatory approvals. However, ethical issues during blood collection method and the environmental conditions may restrain the overall market in the years to come. The market is segmented based on application, end user, and region. The market may be categorized based on applications like diagnostics, drug discovery, human and animal vaccine production, cell culture media, in vitro fertilization, and others that ...

A US mission is on a veterinary visit to Brazil to inspect beef and pork packers.

The auditing is slated to end on

The first mention I have of my great-great-grandfather Daniel Miller Coupers occupation is on his marriage certificate in January of 1879. By then 28 years old, he was a butcher. Whether he already had his own business by then or was working for another butcher, I dont know. From that time his occupation is uniformly given as butcher in all the documents I have viewed - up until the time it changes to retired butcher! Becoming a butcher I have not dwelled on the physical skills needed to become a butcher - I am too squeamish for that and it is certainly not an occupation that would suit me! I had always assumed that Daniel Miller Couper must have gone through an apprenticeship. Perhaps he did as there was an apprenticeship system in place in Victoria, modelled after the English system. However, in researching for this post Im not so sure. The requirements for a slaughtering licence outside of Melbourne were quite straightforward - a slaughtering licence could be had for one pound if the local ...

The bipartisan, five-month spending deal likely to be approved by Congress this week includes a new threat to wild horses and burros: a provision stripping them of their federally protected status, opening a new backdoor to unnatural deaths.. In an accompanying report, the Senate Appropriations Committee also directed the Bureau of Land Management to increase the pace of wild horse roundups to strive for appropriate management levels in Herd Management Areas (page 13).. The omnibus spending bill, which will fund the government until September, does continue the prohibition on commercial horse slaughter within the United States.. Because there is no federal ban on slaughter, Return to Freedom and other animal- and equine-welfare organizations must make a year-to-year push to ensure that taxpayer money does not fund horsemeat inspection, which would make opening a slaughter plant viable.. The bill also states explicitly that federal money shall not be available for the destruction of healthy, ...

Stella would have been dead by Christmas. In late December, a slaughterhouse owner bought her and several other spent dairy goats at a stockyard. Like all female goats in dairy production, they had lived their short lives in a cycle of impregnation, birth and lactation. Their babies were taken from them immediately after birth, the girls to be raised as replacements, the boys to be auctioned for meat or disposed of by some other fatal means. After a few years of this, the dairy goats bodies were worn out, and their milk production declined. It was then their turn to face the auction and the kill floor. It was a normal day at the slaughterhouse until Stella went into labor.. Unaware that one of his purchases was pregnant, the facility owner was taken by surprise. And then he was taken by another emotion. Seeing the tender devotion between the mother and her newborn kid, he decided to let them live. Stella and her newborn baby were spared. The slaughterhouse owner reached out to a relative who ...

ABSTRACT During the last years, Brazilian government control programs have detected an increase of Salmonella Heidelberg in poultry slaughterhouses a condition that poses a threat to human health However, the reasons remain unclear. Differences in genetic virulence profiles may be a possible justification. In addition, effective control of Salmonella is related to an efficient epidemiological surveillance system through genotyping techniques. In this context, the aim of this study was the detection of 24 virulence-associated genes in 126 S. Heidelberg isolates. We classified the isolates into 56 different genetic profiles. None of the isolates presented all the virulence genes. The prevalence of these genes was high in all tested samples as the lowest number of genes detected in one isolate was 10/24. The lpfA and csgA (fimbriae), invA and sivH (TTSS), and msgA and tolC (intracellular survival) genes were present in 100% of the isolates analyzed. Genes encoding effector proteins were detected in ...

My blessed friend, I am very happy to see the change of the vibratory action of your thoughts right now. The mighty stream of Divine consciousness has purified and removed the old records of destructive thinking from your world. My angels of illumination are placing a cosmic ring of golden fire around you now to protect the precious energy of Divine Wisdom and Illumination in your pulsating energy field. But you need to know that this circle of protection can easily be broken by the human habit of criticism, judgment and condemnation. Stand guard, my dear friend, and keep these destructieve energies of envy, condemnation, resentment and judgment including self judgment and self condemnation outside the golden circle of Wisdoms ray. Let no one provoke you and tempt you to enter in the interchange of energies based on criticism, envy, revenge, judgment and condemnation. This is the greatest poison that you can ever drink, my child. Stay away from people who are addicted to the continual ...

A recent discussion among a couple members of the studio audience touched briefly on the question of what it takes for something to count as punishment.. Specifically, it touched on the question of whether taxation can be properly classified as punishment.. The discussion merely grazed the surface of this question, then ricocheted off. However, I have heard the statement a number of times - particularly by libertarians (a tribe in which I was once a member).. Furthermore, this is a blog that suggests that the institution of morality is (or should be) the application of praise, condemnation, reward, and punishment to promote good desires and inhibit bad desires. It would be useful to say a few things about what punishment is.. Punishment involves intentionally doing harm to somebody. In other words, the act of punishment seeks to create a state of affairs in which the desires of others (those who are being punished) are deliberately thwarted. The thwarting of the desires of others is not a ...

Since March 2018 Meatco has managed to pay producers well above the South African parity price across all grades, excluding fat equalisation and weight premiums. The corporation said that it is aware that the ratio between slaughter and weaner prices is not favourable towards the slaughter of ox production system.. Meatco said that taking into account the current downward trend of weaner prices together with the improvement in Meatcos slaughter prices, farmers should once again be motivated to move into slaughter cattle production.. Despite the present strenuous environment where the factory is running at 45% capacity, Meatco is still paying competitive prices to its producers on an international level.. Livestock Procurement Executive at Meatco, Heiner Böhme stressed that cattle delivered to Meatco directly from the farmer remain the preferred supply channel.. Meatco acknowledges that the 2017 slaughter prices paid below parity resulted, amongst others, in a record number of animals exported ...

The nothing beats human ingenuity applies as much to the doctor who closely aligned with her conclusions and who didnt have to do his own research. What you are suggesting is that your mother doesnt have to rely upon doctors for a diagnosis of any current and future medical conditions as they arise. All she has to do is to carry out her own research into her symptoms, by-pass the doctor and go straight to the nearest pharmacy or hospital. And applying this principle universally, there is no need for doctors other than surgeons, although these could be replaced by internet-savvy butchers, abattoir workers and seamstresses who have access to Youtube, etc. In other words, in the context of an extension of the elderly patient analogy, access to collective expertise doesnt work in solving problems unless the ones accessing the information can comprehend and apply it.

Everybody is up in arms, Coon said. The sad part is-or maybe its good for him- there is not a law that says you cant slaughter your livestock for consumption. And he is a horse eater. No one answered a telephone listing for Sappington in Dexter on Friday. De Los Santos said Sappington actually filmed the entire process for preparing the horse for consumption. But he only posted part of the video. Carolyn Schnurr, federal legislative manager of government relations for the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, called the video emotionally disturbing. But she said the group does not condone violence, and reminded others opposed to horse slaughter to stay focused on what needs to be done to help American horses … to end the slaughter of American horses. Horse slaughter opponents are pushing legislation in Congress to ban domestic slaughter, as well as the export of horses to other countries for slaughter. The debate is raging amid a recent uproar in Europe over horse ...

Listeria monocytogenes is the causative agent of listeriosis, an infection that gives rise to bacteremia and meningitis that can be propagated to humans via food contamination. The chicken-meat and derivatives processing industries are common sites of this pathogen, and the great challenge is in controlling this hazard to avoid economic and public health losses. A literature review on L. monocytogenes and implications to the chicken supply chain, poultry slaughterhouses, and public health was conducted. The review was compiled with the main papers published around the world in the last 15 years containing the key words Listeria monocytogenes, poultry, meat, chicken, broilers, and listeriosis, using the main publishers of online journals. The collected information was discussed and it was concluded that poultry can be asymptomatic carriers of L. monocytogenes and introduce contamination in slaughterhouses, which can become a persistent problem in poultry slaughterhouses due to its capacity to form

The Dark Cutter Beef (DCB) condition is the result of reduced glycogen (sugar) levels in the beef muscle. These reduced levels inhibit the normal post-mortem pH decline in the muscle because lactic acid production decreases. Whereas the pH of normal post-mortem beef muscle is 5.5 to 5.7, DCB meat has an abnormally high post-mortem pH of,6.0. The high pH inhibits oxygen uptake in the muscle tissue and is thus responsible for the dark, undesirable appearance of the beef, which is unappealing to the consumer and discounted at the packing plant. The objective of this study was to use data collected at commercial feedlot and slaughter plants to determine the biological and management factors that contribute to the incidence of dark cutting in beef carcasses. This study also evaluated the possible developmental conditions that might arise through modern production practices and affect beef cattle by increasing the likelihood of dark cutters. Data in this study were compiled from September 1996 through ...

Theres another way that review of processing plant procedures and rejected carcasses can help reduce condemnations. If problems such as bird handling during processing arent the cause, the findings might point to live-production problems that arent apparent by just walking around a poultry farm.. If bird size and weight are inconsistent, that can suggest problems with subclinical coccidiosis and other diseases that can hurt flock health, welfare and performance.. A high incidence of condemnations due to airsacculitis which, as I mentioned, I see a lot of, can be due to poor house ventilation, but its often caused by opportunistic Escherichia coli infection that leads to septicemia. E. coli can take hold in broilers affected with variant strains of infectious bronchitis, rendering a one-two punch to the bird. The solution may be improved management of infectious bronchitis and perhaps vaccination against E. coli.. Ascites might be due to husbandry practices, the diet or conditions that reduce ...

Abstract:. Veterinary inspection in abattoirs is extremely important either economic or public health point of view because a great amount of visceras are rejected in order to maintain a low risk for human. However, due to work dynamics in slaughterhouses, it is usually difficult to uncover this etiology. In this study, we applied simple protocols to determine the final diagnosis and the etiology of such rejections. Over the course of a year, organs rejected during meat inspection were sampled from an ovine slaughterhouse in central Spain that slaughtered both sheep and lambs. The application of these protocols were very useful in the identification of bacterial agents involved in those rejections that clinically were compatible with enzootic pneumonia and caseous lymphadenitis as well as abscesses, among others. The regular application of these protocols would provide valuable information to establish control measures of those processes that reach to the slaughterhouses and in consequence to ...

KAMPALA - The Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries has banned the carrying of meat in polythene bags commonly known as kaveera.. The Ministry has instead directed that people who can come to butchers should carry buckets where they will take the meat.. The Ministry further revealed that all persons, loading, offloading and slaughtering must wear appropriate personal protective equipment; overall, white gumboots because if the person is not protected, he can spread the disease to the consumers, wash their hands before and after handling the animals.. The guidelines were issued on Thursday by Maj (Rtd) Bright Rwamirama, the Minister of State for Animal Industry, at the media centre in Kampala.. He said they want to protect meat consumers from contracting diseases mainly coronavirus that is said to be transmittable from humans to animals and vice versa.. The minister added that animals for slaughter cattle, goats, sheep, pigs, chicken, duck, and turkey must be acquired directly ...

In Article ,Pine.3.88.9502171055.A1015-0100000 at sungcg.usouthal.edu, kayes at SUNGCG.USOUTHAL.EDU (Steve G. Kayes) writes: , Third, the US does not inspect pork for the presence of T. ,spiralis and thus, we can not export our pork to the rest of the world ,(or at least to the majority of nations that do inspect). , This issue has become extremely important to pork producers recently because of the declining prices in the industry. They figure that the market in the USA is largely filled to capacity because people are only going to consume so much meat whether its chicken, beef, or pork. They are now looking to overseas markets, but need to export Trichinella free pigs. Development of a parasite (Trichinella, Toxoplasma) free product is a major issue and I expect we will see more attention paid to development of diagnostic assays that can be employed quickly, and cheaply in the slaughter house context. , But the leading contributory cause of the high T. spiralis ,incidence in the US is the ...

This papers is summing up main challenges which occur at large-scale industrial slaughter houses when chilling Atlantic salmon by refrigerated sea water (RSW). The study includes strategies of efficient chilling in 100 m 3 spiral tanks based on the field tests. Analysis showed high density of fish in a chilling tank and low refrigerated sea water flow lead to non-uniform temperature distribution in the tank. Temperature at the surface of the fish can exceed values of RSW outlet temperature, which increases the chilling time, reduces efficiency of the process and limits capacity of equipment. The chilling index can vary from 66 to 108% for the same type of chilling tank with respect to operation parameters. Agitation of fish in the chilling tank increases chilling efficiency up to 87.9 %. The limited time of fish holding in the chilling tank (75-100 min) was not sufficient for achieving temperature of 2.0 °C for any scenario, when initial temperature of fish was higher than 11.0 °C ...

La versión en español es ésta To Súmate, to the opposition parties, to all those that oppose Chávez, to the ni-nis. What is wrong with you?. Cant you see the trap that is looming for the December elections?. Isnt three times enough?. Cant you see that the CNE cannot be trusted?. Are you willing to have as an only resource the international observers?, again?. You know the saying, fool me once, its your fault, fool me twice, its mine. But fool me four times?. I have been wondering what can be done, but clearly walking, yet again, towards the slaughter house that is the CNE, staying at home and abstaining, or voting null is not it.. This election is it, what started with the RR will be consolidated here, after this there will be no turning back, at least not in a very long time. Some sectors inside the Chavista masses are starting to rise, but I would not trust that to exert any change, Chavez might end up buying them, suppressing them, or just ignoring them without any consequence. ...

This guidance is for England. Whether or not an owner is permitted to kill cattle for private consumption depends on the cattles date of birth, whether it has a valid cattle passport, and whether the slaughter takes place outside or inside a licensed slaughterhouse.. There are two lawful ways to have your animals slaughtered and prepared for your own consumption: in an approved slaughterhouse, or on your farm by you for your own private consumption or that of immediate family living there.. On-farm slaughter of any livestock is an extremely difficult option to achieve legally in terms of food hygiene and BSE controls, and in terms of application of humane methods of restraint, stunning and slaughter. You need to ensure that you dispose of the carcase and any animal waste in accordance with the Regulations.. When were the cattle born?. Before 1 August 1996. Cattle born or reared in the UK before 1 August 1996 are not eligible for human consumption. It is an offence to send cattle born or reared ...

Most people said they were shocked and disappointed by the condemnations, which came on the heels of a visit to Nigeria in February by Pope John Paul II, who had appealed for clemency and for the release of political detainees.. Olubunmi Okogie, Catholic Archbishop of Lagos, confirmed the papal plea and added his personal appeal to Abacha. We pray the Federal Government will think twice before taking the lives of those sentenced, Okogie said. Blood means taking life. Judgement should be left to God, Allah or whatever you call God, who is going to judge the living and the dead.. Sunday Mbang, President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, called for the abrogation of the death penalty. My advice to all Nigerians is to stop killing. Killing will not help us, said Mbang, a Methodist priest. Whether soldier or civilian, it will not help matters at all. We have killed enough so let us stop killing in order not to offend God any more.. At least 200 people, mostly soldiers, have been ...

I didnt have to look hard to see the effect of this. I saw two cows lying dead as soon as I got on board; the crew had been unable to get them out from among the live animals, who were living virtually on top of their carcasses. Im not a vet, but it looked like the impact of that journey had been too much for them.The crew said there were 2,500 cattle on board, and you had animals falling down that couldnt get up again because they were struggling to find the space to stretch their legs. It was so confined they were constantly pushing against each other, even while the ship was stationary. I dread to think what it would have been like when the ship was moving. It was a very stressful environment; the noise of the engines and the dark made it unbearable for me being down there for just a few hours, but I cant imagine what it was like for the animals on that 17-day journey. In Lebanon, the temperature was in the high 30s, but in the metal hold of a confined ship it was unbearable.Because ...

This paper deals with the differences between the concept of the agent intellect in Thomas Aquinas and in the early Franciscan school with a focus on St. Bonaventure.While according to Aquinas the agent intellect is the faculty of the human soul, in the thought of Alexander of Hales, John of La Rochelle and St. Bonaventure it has a double or even a triple meaning. In the Franciscan Masters the agent intellect is simultaneously considered as a faculty of the human soul but also as God himself and in John of La Rochelle as an angelic intelligence, too. This comparison could be useful in a new interpretation of the Condemnation of 1277 where the proposition on the separate agent intellect is also considered. It seems that the condemnation of this proposition 118 is in accord with the doctrine of Thomas Aquinas. What is actually being condemned here is the doctrine, partially held by the Franciscan friars, who are traditionally considered as initiators of the Condemnation ...

To: Jacob Bunge, Wall Street Journal. Dear Mr. Bunge: Regarding your article - They Shoot Horses (With Birth-Control Darts), Dont They? - here are facts to correct the lies and disinformation you have been told.. Sting of the dart: If it were only a sting! Fact: Many wild horses develop an abscess at the dart-injection site.. Bogus ballooning population: Wild horses are a slow-growth species when it comes to reproduction. The gestation period lasts 11 months, and a mare produces just 1 foal. While an independent study of BLMs records confirmed an almost 20% birth rate, that study also found that 50% of foals perish before their first birthday. Thus, the effective increase in population from new foals is just 10%. But adult mustangs also die. They succumb to illness, injury, and predation at a rate of at least 5% a year. So, what is a normal herd-growth rate? About 5%, probably less.. Fraudulent figures: The Big Lie of overpopulation is the pretext for BLMs war against the wild horses, and ...

The dynamic relationship between four regional cash prices for fed (slaughter) cattle is investigated using time series analysis and causality tests. The results indicate that price adjustments to new information take about one week. Texas Panhandle price also was determined to dominate the price discovery process. Regional prices also were found to be interdependent. This suggests that increasing regional meat packer concentration may not grant meat packers increased regional market power in their pricing practices.

PEDV has become a major economic concern for North American pig producers since it was first identified in the United States in 2013 (Stevenson et al., 2013; Chen et al., 2014). The lack of highly effective vaccines and the relative ineffectiveness of common treatment methods have led to a search for alternative methods of treating and preventing outbreaks. The inclusion of SDP into the diets of young pigs has been shown to have health benefits for other diseases. This study was designed to determine whether there is any benefit to adding BovSDP to the diet during PEDV infection. Supplementing feed rations of pigs, fish, poultry, cats, and dogs with SDP as protein source is performed on a regular basis. SDP is a protein-rich product obtained from blood from healthy animals (cattle or pigs) at slaughter (Torrallardona, 2010; Pérez-Bosque et al., 2016). In pet food, SDP is a preferred binder in canned food products due to its high-protein content and its physicochemical properties (Polo et al., ...

But theres more good news for our horses and those calling for an end to the slaughter. Beginning July 31, 2010, the European Union will begin enforcing restrictions on the sale of meat from horses that have been given certain drugs and steroids. This means that, where horsemeat is destined for the E.U., Canadian or Mexican slaughterhouses (where U.S. horses are sent for slaughter) must obtain veterinary records of all drugs or medication provided to the horse in the preceding six months.
