Materials and Methods The animal experimental procedure was approved by Ethical committee of ICAR-National Institute of Animal Nutrition and Physiology, Bangalore, India. Incubation and in ovo treatment A total of 200 uniform sized eggs (Cobb broiler) were procured from commercial hatchery and incubated with the dry bulb temperature ranging from 99 - 100°F and wet bulb temperature of 85-87°F from day 1 to 18. On day 18, all infertile eggs were removed and the fertile eggs were divided into 3 equal groups (n=69). The treatments included Group I, Control (no administration); Group II, Zinc sulphate (36% zinc); 80 g zinc/0.5ml per egg and Group III, Zinc methionine (20% zinc); 80 g zinc/0.5ml per egg. The post-hatch chicks were further …show more content…
Each group comprised of 6 replicates with 9 chicks per replicate. The total experimental duration was 5 weeks. The diet was prepared using maize and soybean as major ingredients for pre-starter (0-1 wk), starter (2-3 wk) and finisher (4-5wk) periods (Table 1) and offered ad libitum with access to clean drinking water. Growth Performance Body weight changes were recorded every week to ascertain the weekly and overall body weight gain. The experimental diets were given ad lib and the residue was weighed at weekly interval in order to arrive at feed intake. Based on the data pertaining to the feed intake and body weight gain, the weekly and period wise cumulative feed conversion ratio (FCR) was calculated. Gut development On day 7, one chick from each replicate and on day 35, two birds from each replicate were sacrificed by cervical dislocation for gut development studies. Gut development was measured by recording the weights of gizzard, proventriculus, liver, as well as weight and length of duodenum jejunum ileum and caecum. Functional development of gut was measured by histological examination of duodenal villi at day 7 and 35 post hatch. Two to three cm long duodenal samples were collected in 10% formal saline after washing the contents with normal saline and were processed for histological
First test, Morphological of Unknown consists of multiple of subtests. First subtest was used to determine the optimum temperature of unknown #398 growth by inoculation into 2 nutrient agar slants.
We placed three female bean beetles and two male bean beetles in each petri dish. We had a total of three petri dishes, one for each trial. The petri dishes were then placed in constant light under the same conditions for a week. After one week, the data was then collected by counting the number of eggs on each bean by using a light microscope and this number was then recorded and compared to each bean
In “The Lowest Animal”, Mark Twain explains man’s morals and ethics as they compare to the “higher” animals, while in the poem “Ethics” by Linda Pastan, a simple situation is given to show what a person believes is right and wrong; both works reveal the theme hope. Mark Twain takes an interesting approach to explain human nature in his work, “The Lowest Animal”. For example,“[h]e is the only one that inflicts pain for the pleasure of doing it” (Twain 538). People understand that hurting another human being is wrong, whether that be physical or mental abuse. However they sometimes do it anyways for the satisfaction that the action provides.
Discursive Essay (1st Draft) – Kevin Cho I have detested animal testing ever since I watched a document showing orangutan tortured to death during the animal testing. I was physically and mentally sick when I looked into its eyes. Now, while you are reading this essay, perhaps holding a scrumptious apple pie in your hand, hundreds of, thousands of feeble animals are dying by inhumane animal tests.
He then persuaded the person in charge to get 12 albino rats, which McCollum still needed to buy with his own money. “This colony of rats was the first established in the United States for nutritional studies.” McCollum first gave the idea that the failure in some diets was because they did not taste good.
Every year several million animals die due to animal testing in for medical, psychological, and products research. Moreover, animal testing is something that shouldn’t be continued and for it is completely wrong and cruel. Animal testing started in the late 300’s BC. Aristotle and Erasistratus performed many experiments that involved living animals. Similarly, Galen, a greek physician, conducted animals research to explore the field of anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology.
In nature, chickens form friendships and alphas, they recognize one another, love and care for their young, making nests, and so on and so forth. This is not available to chickens in Perdue farms. In many different chicken farms, chickens are force to live in unnatural conditions, such as crowded warehouses, standing and laying in their own feces, and not being able to stand for very long due to their very heavy weight. Chickens should be allowed lots of space and free roaming, they shouldn’t be living in their own diseased filled filth. Despite what these farms and companies say, that their chickens have space and are clean, Chickens are treated terribly and forced to live in unnatural conditions because the farms abuse these animals and people need to know so we can do something about it.
For instance, we could not conclude that mitochondrial activity is present in Supernatant II. However, our experiment showed that the boiled corn kernels did not undergo any mitochondrial activity while the raw corn kernels did. This might indicate that raising the temperature might have an effect on the function of dehydrogenase. Moreover, our found that starch granules are present in both sediment I and the “gunk”. Indeed, some parts of this experiment were not successful because the procedure was not followed
Veterinary and Animal Science by. Kyler Hicks Veterinary and animal science is a new fully open access publication from Elsevier which strongly encourages a multiple disciplinary approach to research. The scope of journal intentionally broad and includes almost all of the key aspects of animal science, veterinary science and veterinary medicine. Areas of animal science will be considered for publication include: reproduction, breeding, genetics, physiology, nutrition, feed science, meat science, animal welfare, ethics and law, animal behavior, zoo animal management, and livestock management and production.
An exponential decay model was fitted to the experimental data on the proportion of eggs remaining in the stomach f(t) at the time (t) after the start of feeding and is given by: f(t)=e^((-b∙t) )
Starch solution is then placed into the test tube at a quantity of 5 mL. 5 drops of Lugol’s Iodine solution is added to the test tube. If the color changes, then it is known that starches are present in the solution. Proteins are next tested. In order to do this, 5 mL of gelatin solution is added to the test tube. 10 drops of Biuret’s reagent are added to test for protein.
Body: Can be distinguished from the Scarlet by its more massive size, deep red body color with green on the wing covert area; occasional green nape or green scalloping on nape and back; occasional red scalloping on the green upper wing coverts; rump and upper tail coverts medium blue; inferior surfaces of all feathers red. Tail: Deep red, becoming blue at the tip; inferior surface red. Immature Birds: Nestlings have brown feathers traversing their facial patch, becoming red as they approach one year of age; bone colored mandibles blacken with age; black eyes. Immature eyes are dark to pale gray. Captive Breeding: Has been slow to breed in captivity from wild caught stock; improved with captive bred birds as breeders.
It’s a Saturday morning, the sun is rising from the East just beyond the open field and scratched pine trees. You look down and see a plate filled with steaming scrambled eggs and buttered toast. A common breakfast meal that’s simple and delicious, but have you ever wondered where your chicken products come from? Or even what’s in your chicken?
I feel that the rats were a very important part of O 'Brien 's plan. The rats were extremely nasty and would potentially destroy human flesh, which is death occurring from physical pain and abuse. Winston understands this and does not want to relate to the past so he gives up what is the last “insane” part about him. Also, I feel Winston wanted the pain to end so bad that he would be willing to become a true Party member so he could end the suffering.
Protein content was measured by comparing amounts of serum protein that is derived from cows. Lastly lipid content was measured using a molecular spectrophotometer. The California trial included twelve colony pairs that were split between the two groups. The stationary group stayed in Bakersfield, CA. The transported group was taken to Florida for 4 days.
