Carcass yield and meat cuts are traits of meat quality that determine consumers’ preferences. The present study investigated the effects of feeding ash-treated African locust bean hull meal partially replacing palm kernel meal on broiler chicken carcass and gut organs. 

Materials and methods: One hundred and twenty Arbor Acre broiler chickens were randomly distributed on an equal weight basis into three groups of 40 broilers each, and each group was replicated four times with 10 chickens per replicate in a completely randomized design.  Each group was assigned to three experimental diets in which Ash-treated African locust bean pulp replaced palm kernel cake at 0 % (T1, Control), 25% (T2), and 50% (T3). At the end of the feeding trial, which lasted for 42 days, a chicken each was randomly selected per replicate per treatment group (twelve in total), and final live weight, final feed intake, and feed conversion ratio were measured before slaughtering.

Einheit 5: Repository-Software für Publikationen und Forschungsdaten (Teil 1 und 2)

Diese Einheit konzentriert sich auf Repository-Software. Die akademische Welt produziert zwei Stile von Daten, die einen Bedarf an Konserven haben:

Die Publikationen

Die Forschungsdaten

Publikationen

Publikationen sind die am meisten archivierten akademischen Daten. Diese Daten finden sich in wissenschaftlichen Zeitschriften und in den Archiven der Institutionen, in denen sie erstellt wurden. Eines der größten Probleme beim Zugang zu Veröffentlichungen ist, dass viele von ihnen kostenpflichtig sind. Bibliotheken, wissenschaftliche und akademische Einrichtungen zahlen beträchtliche Summen, um ihren Studenten und/oder Dozenten Zugang zu diesen Daten zu gewähren. In der Schweiz geht der Trend hin zu Open Access, und Swissuniversities hat Richtlinien erstellt, um dieses Ziel zu erreichen: https://www.swissuniversities.ch/fileadmin/swissuniversities/Dokumente/Hochschulpolitik/Open_Access/OA_PolicyGuidelines_EN.pdf Einige Fächer haben diesen Schritt bereits vollzogen, wie z.B. Physik, aber in vielen Fächern ist es immer noch kompliziert.

Repository-Software

Repository-Software sind Programme, die es ermöglichen, die beiden oben genannten Arten von wissenschaftlichen Daten frei online zu übertragen. In der Schweiz gibt es zum Beispiel die Plattform der Universität Lausanne: https://serval.unil.ch/ Wir haben im Unterricht das Beispiel von Dspace, einer Open-Source-Repository-Software, kennengelernt.

DSpace

Da ich noch nie zuvor eine Repository-Software angefasst hatte, war ich sehr neugierig zu sehen, wie sie aussehen würde. Dspace ist eines dieser Open-Source-Programme mit einer frei verfügbaren Demo. Letztendlich ist es jeder anderen Archivskatalogsoftware sehr ähnlich. Ich konnte also leicht durch das Programm navigieren und sehr schnell verstehen, worum es geht. Meine Überlegungen sind daher nicht sehr umfangreich. Im Gegensatz zu den Archivskatalogssoftware, die man in einer anderen Einheit gesehen hat, war es einfach, die erklärende Dokumentation auf Dspace zu finden. Tatsächlich gibt es eine spezielle Lernplattform: https://www.dspace.com/en/pub/home/learning-center.cfm. Ich finde jedoch, dass sie sich hauptsächlich auf technische Erklärungen konzentriert und nur wenig für Bibliothekare und Archivare bietet.

Abschluss

Diese Einheit hat es mir ermöglicht, mein theoretisches Wissen über das Thema in die Praxis umzusetzen. Es bleiben jedoch noch einige Fragen offen. Ist diese Repository-Software wirklich optimal für die Langzeitarchivierung? Das hängt davon ab, wo und von wem die Server entsprechend verwaltet werden. Wenn Sie zum Beispiel Dspace verwenden, müssen Sie die Daten an einen Dritten übertragen, was auch die Frage der Datensicherheit aufwirft. Zunächst stellt sich die Frage, ob man bei der Übertragung der Daten sicher sein kann, dass sie nicht von Dritten abgefangen werden. Und wenn die Daten auf Servern außerhalb des Herkunftslandes gespeichert werden, kann dann sichergestellt werden, dass die Daten nicht nur vor unberechtigtem Zugriff, sondern auch vor Hacking und/oder Datendiebstahl geschützt sind? Selbst wenn einige Artikel Open Access sind, stellt sich diese Frage, da einige der damit verbundenen Daten aus verschiedenen Gründen, wie z. B. dem Schutz der Privatsphäre der betroffenen Personen, mit einer Sperrfrist belegt werden können…

Pitalah ducks are one of Indonesia's local genetic resources that can be utilized to develop quality livestock products. The present study aimed to identify the diversity of the Myostatin gene (MSTN|HaeIII) exon-3 in Pitalah ducks, a local duck breed from West Sumatra, Indonesia.

Materials and methods: The present study utilized 40 samples of DNA from the blood of Pitalah ducks (11 males and 29 females, with an average body weight of 1,450 g and an average age of 12 months) that were intensively reared at the Andalas University animal husbandry unit in Indonesia. The DNA from blood samples was isolated using the genomic DNA Extraction Kit. The Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was used as the method. The isolated DNA was then amplified using a primer that produced a 438 bp fragment of the MSTN gene. The amplification product was restricted using the HaeIII enzyme, which recognizes the cutting site at GG↓CC.

Results: Based on the findings of 40 samples, 65% of homozygous truncated genotypes (+/+), 35% heterozygous genotypes (+/-), and no homozygous untruncated genotypes (-/-) were found. Based on the current results, two genotypes were identified. The current findings indicated genetic diversity, as the frequency of each allele exceeds 1%. The allele frequency (+) was 0.825, the allele (-) was 0.175, and the observed heterozygosity was greater than the expected heterozygosity.

Conclusion: The allele frequency of the MSTN|HaeIII exon-3 gene in Pitalah ducks is polymorphic (diverse) within the Pitalah duck population. Genotype frequencies of the MSTN|HaeIII exon-3 gene are in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. https://www.instagram.com/p/DJybX3xIvnb/?igsh=bXl0cDI2cmlqdnJn

지난 50년 대학교재 가격의 폭발적 성장

1977년 이후 지금까지 대학 교재 가격은 1,041% 인상됐다고 한다. 얘기인 즉슨, 학과마다 편차는 있을지언정 열배 이상 가격이 올랐다는 이야기. 대학 교재 저작권 관련 분쟁이 심각한 미국의 경우 학생들이 제본한 책을 쓰는 것 자체가 엄청난 위험을 감수해야 하는 일이기 때문에 대학 교재의 부담감은 더 크다. 도시 지역에 위치하지 않는 학교는 학교 도서관에서 감당할 수 없는 도서 수요 또한 심각하고. 요즘 대학 교재 공유 운동인 'Open Text Movement'가 미국 내에서 OER 과 Open Access 쪽에서 괄목한 만한 성장을 보이는 데는 이 문제에 대해서 사회전반적으로 공감대가 형성된 데 배경이 있다. 한국에서도 수년전 대교협이 출판사들을 대상으로 해서 대학 차원에서 한꺼번에 불법 복사��에 대한 부담금을 지불하는 쪽으로 협상 아닌 협상을 시도했던 적이 있었더랬다. OER은 전혀 새로운 분야의 공유와 즐거운 미래 만을 이야기하지 않는다. 기득권의 엄청난 반발을 불러일으킬 수 밖에 없는, 그동안 공고하게 구축된 시장구조와 이익구조를 무너뜨리는 개혁이기 때문이다.

Marek’s disease (MD) is a major threat to the poultry industry worldwide and significantly affects production and economic stability. In this context, an outbreak in a commercial poultry farm in Naththandiya, Sri Lanka, served as a crucial alarm to avian health management. The clinical signs found during this outbreak not only highlight the virulence of MD virus but also raise questions regarding the effectiveness of the current control measures.

Case report: The outbreak was found in a commercial poultry farm with 4500 Brown Leghorn female chickens including 2500 of 14 weeks old chickens, and 2000 of 6 weeks old chickens in Naththandiya, which was characterized by marked mortalities of 15-20 chickens/day in elder chickens and 35-40 chickens/day in 6 weeks old chickens. The older chickens have been vaccinated with the oral Infectious Bursal Disease (IBD) vaccine at 3 weeks and 11 weeks of age and also with Fowl Pox vaccine at 8 weeks of age. The younger chickens have been given only IBD vaccine at 3 weeks of age. The outbreak showed a wide range of clinical signs, including swollen and closed eyes, nasal discharge, respiratory distress, and anorexia. The post-mortem examination revealed pathognomonic lesions such as grey-white foci of neoplastic tissue in the liver, lungs, and kidneys, enlargement of the sciatic nerve with loss of cross striations, visceral organ enlargement such as liver, kidney, and spleen which indicates the presence of MD virus along with secondary infections caused by Escherichia coli (E. coli). Histopathological examination and bacterial culture confirmed the MD and E. coli infections respectively.

Conclusion: This outbreak highlights the importance of vigilant surveillance, proactive management, and continuous review of vaccination protocols to control the transmission of Marek’s disease effectively. https://www.instagram.com/p/DFkt4zgo10x/?igsh=MWpmejYzdHN5MGlhMQ==
