Goose down and duck down have very similar appearance but the quality of goose down is better than that of duck down in general. There is a highest allowable limit as specified by the various national standards of feather and down for the percentage of duck feather or down mixed in goose feather or down. Traditional detection method, manual inspection with a high-scale microscope, is labor intensive and not suitable for large-volume samples analysis and on-site rapid testing. In the present paper, visible/near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy combined with successive projection algorithm (SPA) for characteristic wavelengths selection was used to determinate the content of duck down mixed in goose down. In the range of 450-930 nm, the multiple linear regression (MLR) model established with the 8 characteristic wavelengths selected by SPA achieved good prediction, the correlation coefficient of 0.983, root mean square error of calibration (RMSEC) of 5.44%, and root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) of 5.75%. Therefore, it is expected to be used for rapid detection of feather and down quality in future.

Tembusu virus (TMUV) is a significant pathogen that poses a considerable threat to the waterfowl farming industry in China and is classified into three distinct genetic clusters. In 2024, a suspected outbreak of TMUV infection was reported at a goose farm in Guangdong Province, China. A strain of TMUV, designated GDE19-2024, was successfully isolated using chicken embryos.

The Duck Tembusu virus (DTMUV) was first reported in China in 2010 and has since caused substantial economic losses in the poultry breeding industry. In the autumn of 2022, an outbreak of an infectious disease resembling DTMUV was reported in Guangdong Province, China, which caused significantly high mortality in goose embryos, and decreased egg production. This study identified one strain of the new subgenotype 3 of DTMUV, designated as DTMUV GDZQ2022, responsible for these effects.

Article Synopsis
- * Phylogenetic studies categorize TMUV into four lineages, with Cluster 2 being the most adapted to duck codon usage patterns, highlighting the influence of natural selection on its evolution.
- * The virus shows lower adaptation to potential hosts like humans and mosquitoes, and analyses reveal that its genome undergoes significant changes to avoid immune responses, aiding its fitness in poultry.

Article Synopsis
- The goose parvovirus (GPV) causes severe disease in young geese and ducks, leading to high mortality rates of 70-100% in naive groups, resulting in major losses for farmers.
- A study investigated the historical virulent GPV LIV-22 strain from 1972 and a developed attenuated vaccine strain, showing both belong to the classical GPV group but exhibit unique genetic changes.
- Microscopic analysis revealed significant cellular damage in infected geese shortly after exposure, providing insights into how GPV evolves and causes disease, which can aid future research on GPV's molecular pathogenesis.
