Reduction of radiocaesium transfer to broiler chicken meat by the hexacyanoferrate-cellulose binder "Bifezh".

The influence of Bifezh (a hexacyanoferrate compound as veterinary feed additive) on the transfer of (137)Cs to meat was investigated in broiler chickens after application of an artificially contaminated feed mixture. The reduction factors reached 2.23 and 8.

Effect of probe location on changes in vaginal electrical impedance during the porcine estrous cycle.

The impedance technique is one of many methods that can be used for noninvasive monitoring of reproductive events occurring in cyclic animals. The influence of the depth of probe insertion on changes in vaginal impedance in sows during the estrous cycle was examined. Sows were checked twice a day for estrus via exposure to a sexually mature boar.
