Simple Summary Feather pecking can occur in laying hens. It is considered a behavioral disorder and can be triggered by a variety of factors. Feather pecking leads to plumage damage, which is detrimental to the welfare and performance of the animals. The behavior of allopecking is assigned to foraging and exploration behavior. Therefore, a possible...
Ultraviolet light is essential for disinfection, fluorescence excitation, curing, and medical treatment. An ultraviolet light source with the small footprint and excellent optical characteristics of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) may enable new applications in all these areas. Until now, there have only been a few demonstrations o...

AbstractIn this paper, we obtain samples of composite materials with a layered niobium-based matrix unidirectionally reinforced with single-crystal sapphire fibers using the solid-phase method of diffusion welding. Sapphire fibers are obtained by the Stepanov method (EFG). As a result of tests, the dependences of the strength of such fibers on the ...
In this work, we study the variability of the lithological composition and organic matter content of samples were taken from the different layers M, X and Y of the Timahdit oil shale in Morocco, in order to experimentally analyze the impact of this variability on petrophysical measurements. The objective of this study is to predict the properties o...

Simple Summary There is a lack of knowledge about the impact that phages present in the environment may have against certain Salmonella serovars. Thus, an improved understanding of Salmonella phage diversity will provide a better insight into the role of phages in Salmonella ecology and diversity. The results of this study showed that the poultry f...

Background and Aim: Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) is a significant foodborne pathogen that can often be traced to poultry and poultry products. This study aims to evaluate the ability of three commonly used non-antimicrobial feed additives in reducing the amount of SE in the ceca of laying type pullets. Materials and Methods: On day 0, 60 Hy-Line Bro...

The objective of the current study was to evaluate increasing levels of manganese hydroxychloride ( MHC ) in 45-wk-old white leghorn laying hens, using yolk and shell manganese ( Mn ) content as a potential marker for Mn concentration. A total of 80, 45-wk-old white leghorns were assigned to 6 dietary treatments, each consisting of 14 individually ...
