Buffering Capacity Comparison of Tris Phosphate Carbonate and Buffered Peptone Water Pre-Enrichments for Manufactured Feed and Feed Ingredients.

Various culture-based methods to detect in animal feed have been developed due to the impact of this bacterium on public and animal health. For this project, tris phosphate carbonate (TPC) and buffered peptone water (BPW) buffering capacities were compared as pre-enrichment mediums for the detection of in feed ingredients. A total of 269 samples were collected from 6 feed mills and mixed with the pre-enrichments; pH was measured before and after a 24 h incubation.

Prevalence of Select Intestinal Parasites in Alabama Backyard Poultry Flocks.

Keeping chickens as backyard pets has become increasingly popular in the United States in recent years. However, biosecurity is generally low in backyard flocks. As a consequence, they can serve as reservoirs for various pathogens that pose a risk for commercial poultry or human health.

Comparison of with Diploid and Cultivated Tetraploid Genomes Reveals Asymmetric Subgenome Evolution and Improvement of Peanut.

Like many important crops, peanut is a polyploid that underwent polyploidization, evolution, and domestication. The wild allotetraploid peanut species () is an important and unique link from the wild diploid species to cultivated tetraploid species in the lineage. However, little is known about and its role in the evolution and domestication of this important crop.
