It has been observed that training in the hospitality industry becomes a challenge as the employees in this industry have been significantly increased in recent years. Employees are trained to perform well in the organizations while they are also paid to perform in a specific department. It’s the combination of experience, calibre, knowledge, skills and abilities that pushes you forward to the particular position to perform in any organization.  The hospitality industry expects a high demand in the area of performing and delivering a high quality of service to the guests. Bearing in mind that the hotels needs a constant and regular business to sustain the market. In order to be able to have a strong and healthy competition environment the hotels have come out with a strategy of making and pushing things from the management perspective to deliver and have a high performance by the employees. This paper is to investigate how employees in hotels are encountering emotions with the guests that lead them to underperform in various levels and to see whether training can be applied to increase their performance over time. The main objective of this paper is to investigate the role of Q metric in the training of emotional intelligence competence. The population sample was drawn among the employees of the hospitality industry in Tamilnadu to identify the significance of Q metric.

There is an increasing demand for heavy lean carcases and, at the same time, an increasing proportion of barley beef animals being finished as bulls. Bulls have a high potential for muscle growth and, therefore, have a high demand for dietary protein. In addition, since the banning of hormone implantation of beef animals, there has been increasing interest in the use of feed additives.This trial was designed to measure the response of Holstein/Friesian bulls to increasing protein content in barley beef rations, and to measure the benefits of including lasalocid sodium (a feed additive). Responses were measured in terms of improved liveweight gains and feed conversioin efficiencies but also of interest was the effect of treatments on the weights at which animals reached a given fat class at slaughter.

Poultry farming is one of the major branches of animal husbandry, which develops through concentration, specialization and intensification on the basis of poultry plants and poultry farms. The increase in production of eggs and poultry meat is based on a significant increase in the productivity of poultry with a simultaneous increase in its population with a high payment of feed by production and the increase in labour productivity. The purpose of the work was to study the influence of enzyme feed additives in the diets of laying hens on the quality of eggs. The researches have been carried out in PJSC “Poultry plant Chelyabinskaya”, which produces high-quality chicken eggs obtained from the poultry cross “Loman LSL-classic”. The object of study was enzyme drugs produced by Sunzyme – a multi-enzyme drug that includes xylanase, cellulase and mannase activities. The dosage of enzyme drugs in the feed mixture of laying hens was: Sunfyze 5000 – 80 g/t, Sunzyme – 100 g/t. The results of researches show that in the groups that received enzyme drugs in their diet, egg production was higher than in the control group. So, for the entire period of researches the hens of the experimental groups were significantly superior to the control group in terms of egg production per average laying hen. The largest difference was in hens of the 1st experimental group (enzyme drug Sunfyze) – 10,8 eggs; the smallest in hens of the 3rd group (enzyme drugs Sunfyze and Sunzyme) – 5,7 eggs. In hens of the 2nd experimental group compared with hens of the control group egg production was higher by 7,9 eggs. The best indicators of production efficiency have been obtained in the 1st experimental group of laying hens, which were fed with the enzyme feed additive Sunfyze to reduce the nutritional value of the diet according to the matrix.

<p><span lang="EN-US">The purpose of the research was to investigate the chemical, mineral and amino acid content of meat of quails fed by biologically active additives based on the submerged bees of apimore, apiminum, aphytoitis. Feeding was carried out with full-fodder mixed fodders from one day to 56 days of age. The control group was fed by this fodder; experimental quails of the 2<sup>nd</sup><span>  </span>group were fed by this fodder with added 3% of the apimore compound; the 3<sup>rd</sup><span>  </span>group was fed also by apimin at the rate of 1.1 g per 1 kg of mixed fodder; the 4<sup>th</sup><span>  </span>group was also fed by apiates at a rate of 200 ml per 1 kg of mixed fodder. Apimor and apimin were thoroughly mixed with feed. The feed additive aphytoitis was drunk with water, certainly, we have taken into consideration daily water consumption of quails. Four birds were slaughtered in each group at the end of experiment. The selection of average samples of muscle tissue was carried out during anatomical disassembly of quail carcasses. Physical and chemical parameters, mineral and amino acid compositions were evaluated for the study of the effect of feed additives based on submerged bees on muscle quality. In the control group, the ratio of pulp and bone was 3.81:1, in the experimental group it was 4.07-4.2: 1. Quails fed by apiite had the highest rate of breast meatiness; it was 4.3% (p &lt;0.001) higher than in the control group. The nutritional value of white quail meat of the 2<sup>nd</sup> group was significantly higher by 7.2% (p &lt;0.01), and in the 3<sup>rd</sup> and 4<sup>th</sup> groups it was lower, respectively, by 0.6% and 1.3%. The nutritional value of white meat protein is caused by the presence of essential amino acids in it. A noticeable increase of these amino acids in poultry meat of experimental groups indicated an improvement of its dietary qualities. Under the action of apivite valine increased by 2.1% (p &lt;0.001), lysine increased by 3.6% (p &lt;0.001) in the poultry meat; under the action of apimor content of threonine increased the by 8.5% (p &lt;0.001), methionine increased by 9.8% (p &lt;0.01), and phenylalanine increased by 11.2% (p &lt;0.001). Feeding by the researched feed additives influenced the increase of calcium in white meat quail by 37.7-40.5% (p &lt;0.001), phosphorus by 8.9-17.4% (p &lt;0.001). Usage of apivite increased the cuprum content by 22.7% (p &lt;0.001). The quail meat of the 4<sup>th</sup> group was characterized by the highest content of zinc, it was by 23.3% more than the control (p &lt;0.001), the 2nd and 3rd groups had more by 5.5% and 6.7% respectively. There is a tendency to increase the iron content in the experimental groups by 5.1 to 15.6% (p &lt;0.01). In studies, the content of cadmium was lower than the <span>threshold limit value</span> under the action of the apimore by 6.0%, apimin by 8.0 % and apivite by 34.0 %, plumbum content was lower by 36.6%, 31.4% and 32.6% respectively. The best indicators for reducing cadmium content in the chest muscles had the 4<sup>th</sup> group under the action of aphids, plymbum had the 2<sup>nd</sup> group under the action of apimor. According to the results of our research, the quality of quail meat from experimental groups significantly exceeds the quality of their analogues in the control group.</span></p>

The role of Jakarta is the center of commerce and national government has implication on higher rates of in-migration that leads to increasing price of land and housing due to high demand. For people who can not afford a decent place to live forced to live in illegal settlements and slums, such as illustrated in the edge of Pluit reservoir. Therefore, the government implemented a program of normalization reservoir to reduce the risk of flooding in Jakarta. Here, the community of this neighbourhood were relocated to the flats (vertical housing) that had been prepared, one of which is located in the Muara Baru. This research contributes on the decision making related to the improvement of urban quality of life by considering a more comprehensive approach in assessing the impact of community relocation. The focus of this assessment is to see change in the quality of life of this community, including their environmental, economic, and social condition. The method used is mixed with a questionnaire to calculate the scores and interviews to clarify the results of the questionnaire and explore the maintenence applied in this area. In addition, a factor analysis was also conducted to determine the factors that influence the changes in quality of life. This research found that the relocation of residents from the edge Pluit reservoir for Muara Baru Rusunawa can improve the quality of life that previously in moderate to good levels.

The purpose of this chapter was to study the influence of humic substances on the formation of the safety and quality of poultry meat. The high abilities of the natural and organic complex of humic acids “Reasil®HumicHealth” (produced in Russia, Saratov) to sorb and desorb five mycotoxins of compound feed (aflatoxin B1, ochratoxin, toxin T-2, zearalenone and fuminisin B1) were experimentally established. The hepatoprotective ability of humic acids was observed in experiments on broilers using rapeseed meal containing an increased amount of secondary plant metabolites that could cause liver damage. It was found out that the inclusion of humic acids in the amount of 1 and 1.5 g per 1 kg of feed to the main diet of broiler chickens has a more stable positive effect, both in terms of slaughter indicators (yield of semieviscerated carcasses and carcasses of complete evisceration), and in the production of the most valuable natural semi-finished products (breast, chicken legs) due to the intensive growth of muscle tissue. A clear improvement in the morpho-biochemical and immunological parameters of blood and micromorphometric characteristics of the organs of the immune system of poultry was noted with the use of different concentrations of humic acid salts. The use of the additive at the rate of 1 and 1.5 g per 1 kg of feed does not negatively affect the sensory indicators of finished culinary products.

The acidifying agents are being used more often as an alternative to fodder antibiotics in order to preserve bird’s stock and increase productivity. We created the new liquid acidifier “Aquasan” for broiler chickens on the basis of organic and inorganic acids. The application of various feed additives or drugs to the diet of chickens leads to changes in the chemical composition of meat. The purpose of the paper was to research the slaughter qualities and the chemical composition of broiler chicken meat in case of feeding the stock with the “Aquasan” acidifier. The research was conducted on three groups of chicken broilers of the breed Ross 308 – 50 heads in each group. The first group of chickens was the control one, the second group of chickens was given the acidifier analogue called “FEEDACID MAX L”, and the third group was given the new acidifier “Aquasan”. The process of feeding of 0.1% of the working acidifier solutions was performed from the 27th day of fattening within 10 days (27th–31st and 34th–38th day). The growing period lasted 43 days. The moisture content of meat was determined by the method of drying, the content of protein – by the Kjeldahl method, total fat – by the Soxhlet method, the ash content – by the charring method. It has been established that the use of the “Aquasan” acidifier contributed to the increase in the productivity of broilers, the live weight of chickens on the 43rd day of breeding increased by 1.1 times (Р ≤ 0.05), and the weight of a carcass by 1.2 times (Р ≤ 0.05), in particular, by 310 g and 350 g, respectively. Also, the use of the acidifier allowed increasing the livability of chicken stock by 6% (Р ≤ 0.001). The average yield of carcasses of broilers increased by 4.4% (Р ≤ 0.05), which is 2% more than the standard values for this breed of chickens called Ross 308. With the use of the “Aquasan” acidifier, an increased content of dry matter in the broiler meat by 1.5% (Р ≤ 0.05) was noted and, accordingly, a decrease in the same percentage of moisture in meat. The protein content of chicken meat on the 43rd day of breeding increased by 0.9% (Р ≤ 0.05), ash increased by 0.3% (Р ≤ 0.05), and the fat content decreased by 0.4% (Р ≤ 0.05). Similar changes in slaughter rates and chemical composition of chicken meat were also observed in case of feeding the acidifier analogue “FEEDACID MAX L”; the difference compared with the new “Aquasan” acidifier was insignificant. Consequently, the feeding of the liquid acidifier “Aquasan” to chicken broilers from the 27th day of their breeding does not lead to deterioration in the quality of the slaughter and the chemical composition of poultry meat.
