(Feeding behavior of local cattle fed based ammoniation rice straw with different feeding method)ABSTRACT. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of feeding methods on feeding behavior include the frequency and duration of eating time, the frequency and the duration of rumination for one day, night and daytime. The study used twenty of local cattle feeder males (Peranakan Ongole) with an age range of 1.5 – 2 years old and initial weight were 200-273 kg. They were fed randomly with four feeding methods of top concentrate, component feeding, total mixed ration (TMR) and free choice. Thus, completely randomized design was used for this study. Data length of eating and rumination time was analyzed using analysis of variance and continuities by honestly significant difference test (HSD). The frequency of eating and rumination were analyzed using Chi square. The results showed that the treatments affect significantly (P 0.05) on spent of eating night; rumination daytime and night spent, but had no effect (P0,05) on spent of eating one day, spent of eating daytime and spent of rumination  for one day. Rumination frequency one day, daytime, and night were not affected (P 0.05) by feeding method. Night rumination of feeder cattle groups fed with TMR method were longer ( P 0.05 ) compared to feeder cattle groups fed with Component Feeding and Free Choice method, but it was similar ( P 0.05 ) to feeder cattle groups fed with Top Concentrate. Between the groups feeder cattle fed with Component feeding and Free Choice were not significantly different ( P 0.05 ).

The focus of this study was to explore and describe influences on decision making related to infant feeding methods in the context of HIV and AIDS. Study objectives were: (1) to explore and describe the influences on decision making related to infant feeding methods selected by the mother during the antenatal period and (2) to describe the reasons related to a change in infant feeding method in the postnatal period. This cross-sectional study used the quantitative approach and a descriptive design. A convenience sample of 60 mothers in the prevention of mother-to-child transmission programme participated in this study. Data were collected six weeks post-delivery and analysed using SPSS 17.0 software for Windows. The mean age of the mothers was 26.5 years, range 19 to 41 years (SD 5.3). At six weeks 73% (n = 44) of the mothers maintained the infant feeding method selected antenatally and 27% (n = 16) had changed methods. Using a Chi-square test, the difference between groups was significant (x2 [df 1] = 19, p < 0.000). Every HIV-positive mother (100%, n = 28) continued with the method selected antenatally, compared with 50% (n = 16) of all HIV-negative mothers (n = 32). The reasons for deciding to change methods included going back to school or work; illness of babies; painful breasts; and advice from significant others. Most mothers maintained the feeding methods selected antenatally. HIV-positive mothers were more likely to adhere to the initial decisions made antenatally than HIV-negative mothers.Hierdie studie is gedoen om deeglike navorsing uit te voer en om ‘n beskrywende verslag te kan lewer rakende die invloed van besluitneming met die voedings metodes op babas in die konteks van MIV en VIGS. (1) Deeglike navorsing om beskrywende verslag te kan lewer rakende die besluitnemings met betrekking tot die baba voedings metodes wat deur die moeder geselekteer is gedurende die voorgeboorte periode, en (2) om die redes te beskryf aangaande die verandering in die baba voedings metode nageboortelike periode.Kwantitiewe benadering was gebruik, waartydens 60 moeders deelgeneem het, aan die oordraagbaarheid van moeder na baba. Inligting was ingewin ses weke na geboorte van die baba. Die gemiddelde ouderdom van die moeders was 26.5 jaar, gewissel tussen die ouderdomme van 19 tot 41 jaar (SD 5.3). Op ses weke het 73% (n = 44) van die moeders volgehou met die voedingsmetode wat hulle geselekteer het voorgeboortelik. Sewe-en-twintig (n = 16) het die verkose metodes verander. Die ‘Chi-square’ toets was gebruik, en die verskil tussen die groepe was beduidend (x² [df 1] = 19, p < 0.000). Elke MIV-positiewe moeder (100%, n = 28) het voortgegaan met die metode wat hulle voorgeboortelik verkies het, in vergeleke met 50% van moeders (n = 16) wat MIV negatief was (n = 32). Die redes vir die veranderings, was om teruggekeer na hul werk of skool, borste wat pyn en deur die invloed van ander invloedryke mense. Die meeste moeders het gebly by hul metode wat hulle voorgeboortelik gekies het, spesiaal MIV-positiewe moeders.

Background: Food has not only considerable therapeutic but also economic value. The success of food provision is related to leftover that can indicate less optimum food provision in hospitals. Leftover indicates the presence of wasted cost.Objective: To analyze leftover and cost of leftover of schizophrenic inpatients at Madani Mental Hospital Palu.Method: The study used cross sectional method. Subject of the study were schizophrenic inpatients who got ordinary food portion had been mobilized from acute to common room 2 x 24 hours, put in class 3 room, were able to eat food on their own with exclusion criteria the presence of accompanying diseases that could affect appetite and got food from outside the hospital (n = 35). Data were analyzed quantitatively using chi square to find out factors related with the presence of leftover. Data of respondent characteristics and cost of leftover were analyzed descriptively.Result: There was difference in leftover based on sex and portion in particular rice and animal side dish leftover (p <0.05) but there was no significant difference in age, type of schizophrenic disease, duration of hospitalization and previous hospitalization (p ≥ 0.05). Total cost of wasted food a day was Rp 1,529.33.Conclusion: There was difference in leftover based on sex and portion particularly rice and animal side dish leftover. Average amount of leftover varied according to eating time and types of food. Cost of wasted food varied according to types of food.

Abstract Conflicting anecdotal accounts from producers about their cattle performance and fly-repellence outcomes while receiving garlic-infused supplements have limited feeding decisions. This study evaluated differences in animal performance and insectifugal outcomes among four groups (26 steers per group) over two years (total = 208 steers). The steers either received non-garlic mineral supplement (MS), MS+0.3% garlic oil-based premix (GOil), MS+2.5% garlic powder (LGP), or MS+5% garlic powder (HGP). A completely randomized design was implemented where each steer was assigned to each treatment group while balancing for bodyweight and breed composition. Steers received a feedlot ration and free-choice mineral supplement for 86 and 108 d in the first and second year, respectively. Individual feed and supplement consumption were measured with automatic feeding units. Fly abundance on each animal was determined using digital images collected during weekly fly surveys. The ADG, feed efficiency, ultrasound body composition, and intake-related activities were also evaluated during the study. Data were analyzed using linear- or generalized linear mixed models in SAS. A significant year and Group×year interactions were observed for daily supplement intake (P &lt; 0.02). Similar interactions (P &lt; 0.04) were observed for feeding behaviors associated with supplement intake. Fly abundance during the peak months was below the economic threshold and was not different among the groups (P = 0.25), but the year and Group×year interactions were significant (P &lt; 0.02). There were no differences among the groups for DMI (P = 0.81), ADG (P = 0.54) and gain to feed ratio (P = 0.34). The Group×year interactions were present for the change in ultrasound rib-fat-thickness. The reasons behind the differences in supplement intake are not clear but may be related to the garlic products’ phytochemical profiles. These results suggest that further studies are required to identify the specific bioactive compounds in garlic that affect supplement intake.

At Home

Today’s working women are continually being challenged by the demands of full-time work and when the day is done at the office, they carry more of the commitments and responsibilities at home. With growing number of employment among females, it is becoming difficult to separate work from their lives or we can say that work has actually became their life. Since, academic jobs are growing larger and becoming oversized, so it requires more dedication and effort from faculties. In reality, academia now means that colleges/institutions want faculties to teach more courses than ever before while maintaining active research programs, obtaining significant grants and other activities that include finding, mentoring and advising students. So, these jobs today, have three dimensional demands i.e. research, teaching and services. Regardless of whether the women is in a job, they tend to bear a greater proportion of domestic responsibilities as compared to men which she tries to balance with various conflicting roles like professional, mother, wife, daughter-in-law etc. When domestic work gets coupled with a busy professional life, the workload becomes burdensome. This significantly increases pressure in office as well as in the family. For the purpose of study data was collected from female faculties of various management and engineering colleges in Lucknow city with the help of structured questionnaire. Data was analyzed with the help of percentage & frequency table analysis and hypotheses were proved with the help of chi-square and one-way ANOVA test. Present study aims to analyze the relationship between socio-economic variables and work-life balance. The results revealed that there is no significant difference between the designation of female employees and their attitude towards conflicting demands at home and work. The study also shows that without proper support from spouse and family, it is difficult to balance work and life effectively.

Abstract LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Determine if there are any differences in the original diagnostic markers, including the “CRAB” criteria, in Multiple Myeloma patients from different ethnicities. BACKGROUND: About 24,050 new cases of Multiple Myeloma are expected to be diagnosed in 2014. In a metropolitan institution, such as Henry Ford Hospital, newly diagnosed patients are drawn from multiple ethnic backgrounds. While several epidemiological studies have demonstrated a positive correlation between race and values of several diagnostic markers (such as hemoglobin, creatinine and albumin), most of the research focused on molecular and genetic, as opposed to clinical, differences in patients from multiple ethnicities. Our study, therefore attempted to offer a more customized diagnostic approach to patients with newly diagnosed Multiple myeloma, based on their ethnicity, and to determine if there was a correlation between the patients' races and common diagnostic elements, including the CRAB criteria, at time of diagnosis. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective study. Data from 300 patients over 5 years (2007-2012) with newly diagnosed with Multiple myeloma was collected. Only 197 patients fulfilled the diagnostic criteria and were included in the final analysis. The following data was extracted: Age at diagnosis, gender, diagnostic elements according to the CRAB criteria (serum Calcium, serum Creatinine, Anemia, Bone lytic lesions) at date of diagnosis, serum beta-2-microglobulin level, M-protein serum concentration, and whether Urine monoclonal protein excretion was present. The patients were divided into two groups by race: African American and Caucasian. An overall score was created by summing the incidence of each diagnostic marker. RESULTS: Categorical data was compared between the two groups using chi-square tests, and CRAB score was compared using a Wilcoxon rank-sum test due to its ordinal nature. Our study demonstrated that there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in any of the components collected, or in the final total score CONCLUSIONS: Our study demonstrated that there was no statistically significant difference in the original diagnostic markers, including the CRAB criteria, in Multiple Myeloma Patients from Different Ethnicities presenting to our Institution.The effect of baseline cytogenetic characteristics on the diagnostic markers between multiple myeloma patients from different ethnicities is still not fully understood, and might be a factor that needs to be studied further. Disclosures No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

<p>Eighteen Simmental heifers were fed concentrate and barley straw offered as a total mixed ration (TMR) or separately as a free choice (FCH) to compare performance, behaviour, and meat quality. The heifers were assigned to treatments in a randomized complete block design. Animals were allotted to roofed pens with 3 animals per pen, and 3 pens per treatment. Intake of concentrate, average daily gain, and gain to feed ratio were not different between diets, being on average 7.6 kg/day, 1.38 kg/day and 0.18 kg/kg, respectively. Straw intake was greater in TMR than in FCH treatment (0.7 <em>vs</em> 0.3 kg/day, respectively; <em>p</em>&lt;0.001). Crude protein intake, neutral detergent fibre intake and water consumption did not differ between treatments. Time spent eating was longer in FCH than in TMR (<em>p=</em>0.001), whereas time spent ruminating and total chewing time were longer (<em>p</em>&lt;0.01) in TMR than in FCH. The number of displacements resulting from competition for feed in the main feeder in TMR treatment tended to be greater than in FCH treatment. There were no differences in the carcass characteristics and quality of meat of animals assigned to the different feeding methods, but the percentage of 18:2 n-6 was higher in FCH treatment. In summary, these results suggest that the use of TMR as a feeding method in beef cattle fed high concentrate diets did not affect performance and increased time spent ruminating with a potential decrease of ruminal acidosis incidence.</p>

Abstract Background Rural workers are highly exposed to pesticides, suggesting vulnerability to the development of hematological neoplasms. Thus, the relationship between the variables of the occupational profile of farmers exposed to pesticides with the presence of this disease was analyzed. Methods Retrospective, quantitative, descriptive cross-sectional study. Data were collected from farmers diagnosed with hematological neoplasms being treated at an oncology center. A questionnaire with occupational variables and exposure to pesticides was used. The data was analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software. Descriptive statistical analysis and Chi-square test were used, considering p &lt; 0.05. The Research Ethics Committee of the University of Santa Cruz do Sul, under opinion 3.017.507, approved the study. Results Of the 72 farmers, there is a period of more than 30 years of exposure to pesticides (62.3%) and an early start in agricultural activities (95.8%). Failure to use Personal Protective Equipment (71.1%) and the use of 3 different types of pesticides (66.6%). Regarding cultivation, a greater proportion of tobacco producers (72.2%) and a smaller number of yerba mate producers (13.9%). A positive association between tobacco cultivation and the presence of the disease was identified (p = 0.040).The use of types of pesticides was compared and a significant difference was observed regarding the initial age in agriculture (p = 0.027), the daily workday (p = 0.035) and the cultivation of tobacco (p ≤ 0.01). Conclusions It is suggested a relationship between tobacco cultivation and the existence of the disease, since there was a statistical association between them. It is also suggested that the lower the age and the longer the workday, the greater the consumption of different types of pesticides. Key messages Actions to promote health are necessary, which may include educational actions, with the objective of stimulating changes in the lifestyle and work of the rural population. Rural workers are highly exposed to pesticides, suggesting vulnerability to the development of hematological neoplasms.
