The objective of this study is to assess the use of antimicrobials in the broiler production in Algeria, through a survey completed by private veterinarians of the Ain Defla province. In this context, 65 band breeding were studied for antimicrobial use between October 2019 and June 2020. The results showed that all of the studied bands received antimicrobial treatments for at least 5 days during the breeding period. Quinolones class was the most widely used class of antimicrobials (24.4%), followed by the tetracyclines class (22.5%), sulfonamides (20.1%) and polypeptides (12.1%). Macrolides and beta-lactams come last (4.02% and 3.22% respectively). 160 mg of active compound were administered per kg of chicken meat produced. The number of daily doses (nDDkg) was 10.5, while the treated live weight (nCDkg) was 2.66. Per molecule, chickens were more exposed to colistin, doxycycline, oxytetracycline and enrofloxacin. The withdrawal period of used bands was not respected, and meat from these treated broilers was found to contain antimicrobial residues at 33.9%. The reasons for this frequent use are various: poor conditions and bad practices of breeding, poor quality of day-old chicks, veterinary practices, and difficulties of control by veterinary authorities.

This study was conducted to determine the effect of Ocimum gratissimum leaf meal supplementation on the performance, carcass characteristics and meat quality of broiler chicken. One hundred and fifty day old Abhor Acre strains of broiler birds were assigned to five dietary treatments with thirty birds per treatment in a completely randomized design. Ocimum gratissimum leaf meal at 0g, 100g, 200g, 300g and 400g per 100kg of feed was added to the diets. The experiment lasted for seven weeks. Data on feed intake, weight gain and feed conversion ratio were collected. Two birds per replicate were randomly selected, weighed, slaughtered and properly dressed for carcass parameters such as live weight, plucked weight, dressing percentage, head, neck, wing weight, thigh weight, drumstick, organ weight and sensory evaluation was carried out. The result of the performance characteristics showed that there were significant differences (p

ABSTRACTA study was made of the growth of Holstein Friesian females in an intensive production system in the Venezuelan tropics, using monthly weights from birth (no. = 922) up to 72 months of age (no. = 63). Birth weights were adjusted for age of dam, month and year of birth of heifer, whereas subsequent weights were adjusted for birth weight and month and year of birth. Despite lower weights at birth (mean = 35·9 kg), live weights were comparable to the Beltsville standard for the breed up to 12 months of age. However, at 24, 36, 48 and 72 months of age the weights observed only reached 0·84, 0·77, 0·75, 0·79 and 0·78, respectively, of the Beltsville standard. No effect was observed on birth weight of age of dam, month or year of birth, but birth weight affected subsequent weights (P < 0·001) and the effects of month and year of birth on live weight were significant at most ages. The poor quality of the forage consumed and stress due to high environmental temperatures and humidity appear to be the main reasons for the reduced growth rates. Von Bertalanffy's model gave a higher residual error than a polynomial model when fitted to the data, but resulted in a curve which agreed more closely with the conventional biological growth pattern.

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.

Background and Aim: The quality of day-old chicks is a cornerstone to successful poultry production. Chicks with a poor quality start slowly in the field and may have high feed intake, poor growth rate, and poor feed conversion ratio. The current study aimed to assess chick quality challenges encountered from day-old chicks hatched in most commercial hatcheries in Ghana. Materials and Methods: A total of 300 day-old chicks each were obtained from commercial hatcheries in Ghana and Europe. The chicks were labeled as locally hatched broiler day-old chicks (LBDOC) and foreign hatched broiler day-old chicks (FBDOC), respectively. Chicks were reared and monitored from day old to 21 days post-hatch. Sample of chicks (n=25) from each hatchery was euthanized weekly at 1, 7, 14, and 21 days and blood samples collected for analysis. The parameters measured included physical, hematological, immunological, histological, and bacteriological characteristics. All data were analyzed by SAS Proc GLM at p<0.05. Results: The live weight of chicks was higher in FBDOC compared to LBDOC on the 1st day. The chick length and shank length of FBDOC were longer than the LBDOC. The 7-day chick mortality was 6% in LBDOC as compared to 1.5% in FBDOC. The LBDOC also had a higher wet and dry residual yolk sac percentages as well as higher residual yolk sac fluid volume than the FBDOC. The rate of yolk sac disappearance of the FBDOC was higher than the LBDOC. More than half of the LBDOC had developed navel strings and leaky navel compared to FBDOC. The LBDOC recorded Escherichia coli, Proteus, Streptococcus spp., and Gram-negative bacteria in the residual yolk sac isolated through the 21 days while FBDOC recorded E. coli, Proteus, and Gram-negative bacteria. The intestinal villi count, lengths, width, and surface area were all not significantly different. The blood monocyte levels appeared higher in FBDOC than LBDOC, which give evidence of higher immunity in FBDOC than LBDOC. Conclusion: The results indicate a challenging situation in maintaining the quality of locally hatched broiler day-old-chicks compared to foreign hatched broiler-day-old-chicks. The study demonstrates that chick quality impact goes beyond the physical characteristics of chick weight and chick length, and the higher performance of FBDOC may be influenced by compliance with international hatchery standards and vaccination protocols.

The article discusses the experience of teaching and conducting spirometry of general practitioners as part of the RESPECT study (RESearch on the PrEvalence and the diagnosis of COPD and its Tobacco-related aetiology). A total of 33 trained in spirometry general practitioners performed a study of 3119 patients. Quality criteria met 84.1% of spirometric studies. The analysis of the most common mistakes made by doctors during the forced expiratory maneuver is included. The most frequent errors were expiration exhalation of less than 6s (54%), non-maximal effort throughout the test and lack of reproducibility (11.3%). Independent predictors of poor spirogram quality were male gender, obstruction (FEV1 /FVC<0.7), and the center where the study was performed. The number of good-quality spirograms ranged from 96.1% (95% CI 83.2–110.4) to 59.8% (95% CI 49.6–71.4) depending on the center. Subsequently, an analysis of the reasons behind the poor quality of research in individual centers was conducted and the identified shortcomings were eliminated. The poor quality of the spirograms was associated either with the errors of the doctors who undertook the study or with the technical malfunctions of the spirometer.

The article analyzes the main indicators of the evolution of the domestic economy and its industrial complex in the past year (in January — November 2019). It Identifies trends in this evolution, including negative trends that determine the preservation of reproductive threats in 2020: sluggishness, instability and low quality of economic growth. The main reasons for the fact that the objective resource capabilities of the macro level were clearly not used enough to effectively solve the urgent problems of technological modernization of the economy and increase people’s welfare are established. The main reason is the poor quality of public administration, including imperfect strategic planning and industrial policy; there is still no modern national innovation system in the country. Accordingly, recommendations for improving the quality of state regulation in its specified components are justified. The recommended measures, according to the author, will help the economy to move to a trajectory of rapid, sustainable and high-quality growth.

The relevance of the chosen topic is closely related to the development of a system for monitoring the implementation of the May Presidential Decree (2018) to increase life expectancy and improve the quality of life of the population. It has been stated that despite the positive dynamics of life expectancy over the past decade, Russia still has a huge regional differentiation (16,6 years for women, 18,2 years for men in 2016) and an average gender gap - 10,6 years. The choice of factors affecting the gender gap in life expectancy in Russian regions is supported by a conclusion most common in foreign studies that climatic conditions, living conditions, the quality of food and drinking water, alcohol consumption are essential components of public health and life expectancy.The article provides an overview of studies on assessment factors of life expectancy, presents the authors’ approach to identifying gender gaps in life expectancy, living conditions, and lifestyle affecting the indicator of life expectancy. The paper presents the results of a comparative analysis of gender gap in life expectancy in Russia and foreign countries. The paper studies the correlation between living conditions and lifestyle, and life expectancy.Classification of the regions by the life expectancy at birth for men and women is an important component of this study. The authors used Rosstat data for 2016 and the k-means method to select three clusters of Russian regions taking into account gender, living conditions and lifestyle. The paper identifies similar health problems of the regions that are associated with alcohol consumption, poor nutrition and poor quality of drinking water, poor housing and living conditions. The lowest life expectancy rates for men and women are recorded in regions of the 1st cluster (Jewish Autonomous Region, Republic of Tuva, Chukotka Autonomous Area). High mortality rates are a result of external causes. There is a poor quality of drinking water and poor nutrition, excessive alcohol consumption, and inadequate housing conditions.Based on the obtained results were determined possible reserves for reducing the gender and regional differentiation of life expectancy.
