Factors affecting the success of fecal microbiota transplantation against calf diarrhea
Unrestricted Use

Rating
0.0 stars

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Diarrhea is common among calves and causes huge losses to the global cattle industry. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is one promising approach to prevent and treat calf diarrhea. However, achieving success with FMT is difficult because of farm management differences, a lack of good donors, and the difficulty of recipient selection. To guide more effective FMT, a recent study investigated factors related to FMT success or failure in 20 donor–recipient pairs. The overall success rate for diarrhea improvement was 70%. Selenomonas bacteria were found in both donors and recipients when FMT was successful, suggesting that Selenomonas may be a biomarker of donor–recipient compatibility, and Sporobacter was identified as a potential biomarker for good donor selection. Pairs of correlations between specific microbial taxa and metabolites were also linked to success, and low levels of pre-FMT glycerol 3-phosphate, dihydroxyacetone phosphate, and isoamylamine were predicted to facilitate good results..."

In this lesson, students will view a "yuck steak" and identify that the lesion is caused by an injection.  Students will then watch videos on how to administer an intramuscular and subcutaneous injection.  After watching the videos, the student will use the Marcel Marceau e-Moment to mime the procedures.  The students will then practice injections on an orange and cut the orange in half, viewing how the injections disperse throughout the orange.  The students will then video their demonstrations of each injection to submit for grading.NE.AFNR.HS.28.5.b or NE.AFNR.HS.29.5.b

Hen mortality rates in cage-free systems decline over time

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Laying hens are predominantly kept in small battery cages. These cages are so small, in fact, that the birds usually cannot extend their wings or exhibit other natural behaviors like foraging and nesting. Public criticism of this practice is driving egg producers to change to higher welfare cage-free aviaries. But there have been some claims that cage-free systems could have higher mortality rates than battery cages. A recent meta-analysis used data from 6,040 commercial flocks – 176 million birds – spanning 16 countries to investigate this claim. They found that, while mortality in cage-free flocks was higher in the past, it decreased over time. In fact, data from recent years shows no difference in mortality between caged and cage-free systems. The decrease in mortality likely reflects an increase in flock managers' experience. More research is needed into causes of death in different egg production systems..."

0.0 stars

In this lesson, students will be asked to determine what is wrong with a patient that is displaying symptoms of rabies.  Then the students will be asked what causes sickness in animals.  Then they will research the causes of illness and disease in animals with the Go Get It e-Moment.  A discussion about how to prevent illness and disease will lead to an understanding of biosecurity.  The students will then use what they have learned to complete a health plan for an animal in their lives.NE.AFNR.HS.28.5.a or NE.AFNR.HS.29.3.b

New spectroscopy technique provides a way to sex chickens before they hatch

It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Every year, billions of male chickens are killed in hatcheries around the world. But a new imaging technique may be changing these culling practices by making it possible to determine the sex of chicks before they hatch. In the poultry industry, male chickens are of little economic value. They don’t lay eggs and they are not suitable for meat production. Because of this, day-old male chicks are culled, typically by asphyxiation or grinding. To find an alternative to this unfortunate practice, a team of researchers working in Germany investigated whether in-egg optical spectroscopic techniques could be used to determine the sex of developing chickens. Creating a small window in the egg’s shell, the researchers used a near-infrared laser to illuminate blood vessels outside the embryo and analyzed fluorescence signals obtained directly from the blood cells..."
