Influence of Incubation Temperature and Relative Humidity on the Egg Hatchability Pattern of Two-Spotted () and House () Crickets.

This study aimed to determine the influence and optimal conditions of incubation temperature and relative humidity (RH) on the egg hatchability patterns of two-spotted () and house () crickets. Experiment I involved 100 cricket eggs per hatching box for each species, with six replications for each controlled incubation temperature of 23, 25, 27, 29, 30, 31, 32, and 33 °C at 70% RH. Experiment II used all the same procedures as Experiment I, except for incubation temperatures of 29, 30, 31, and 32 °C tested with varied RH levels of 65%, 70%, and 75%.

Bacterial Contamination and Antimicrobial Resistance in Two-Spotted () and House () Cricket Rearing and Harvesting Processes.

Food safety for cricket production is a crucial factor in producing edible crickets with safety for consumers and sustainability for two-spotted () as well as house () cricket production. This study was conducted by simultaneously rearing two cricket species, comprising two-spotted crickets () and house crickets (). A total of 16 rearing crates were used for the present study, which were allocated into 8 rearing crates for each studied cricket species, including paper egg cartons.

Production Performance and Nutrient Conversion Efficiency of Field Cricket () in Mass-Rearing Conditions.

Currently, there is an increased interest in mass producing edible insects, e.g., field crickets (), due to their market value and sustainable development.

Antimicrobial resistance in fecal Escherichia coli from different pig production systems.

Objective: The objective of the current study was to investigate the influences of conventional (CO) and deep litter (DE) systems on antimicrobial resistance in fecal Escherichia coli (E. coli).

Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out to detect antimicrobial resistance to E.

Toxoplasmosis and neosporosis among beef cattle slaughtered for food in Western Thailand.

Beef is a main type of meat consumed by Thais. The prevalences of anti-Toxoplasma gondii and anti-Neospora caninum antibodies were investigated among beef cattle slaughtered for food in western Thailand. A total of 389 blood samples obtained from beef cattle from 24 herds were collected at 3 slaughterhouses in 3 western provinces of Thailand: Kanchanaburi, Ratchaburi and Nakhon Pathom.
