Crossbred beef steers (n = 615) were used in a 152-d experiment to compare steam-flaked corn (SFC) diets containing 0, 30, or 60% wet corn gluten feed (WCGF). On d 114 to 118, ruminal and fecal samples were collected from 180 steers and analyzed for pH, VFA, and total and acid-resistant Escherichia coli and coliforms. Acid resistance of E. coli and coliform populations was determined by exposur...

this study evaluates the influence of yanã½klar creek on the water quality of fethiye gulf. accordingly, this study demonstrates (i) change in the water quality of fethiye gulf from 2006 to 2007; (ii) the water quality classification of the yanã½klar creek feeding fethiye gulf; and (iii) how land-based fish farm influences yanã½klar creek water quality in a fethiye-gã¶cek specially protected ar...

Fecal material entrained in New Orleans flood waters was pumped into the local environment. Violet Marsh received water pumped from St. Bernard Parish and the Lower Ninth Ward. Sediment core samples were collected from canals conducting water from these areas to pump stations and from locations within Violet Marsh. Viable indicator bacteria and fecal sterols were used to assess the levels of fe...

background: swimming is often recommended because of its potentially beneficial effects on the joints and on people’s general sense of well-being . swimming is a great way to relax and beat the summer heat. the dumping of urban and industrial waste waters into the sea, with their high level of pathogens and other polluting agents, raises concern about its consequences for both swimmers’ health ...

The current research examined the inclusion of 20% wet distiller's grains (WDG) fed with steam-flaked corn (SFC) or dry-rolled corn (DRC) in diets fed to feedlot cattle on fecal prevalence of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella. Crossbred beef heifers (n = 272; average initial body weight (BW) = 354 kg) were blocked by BW and pen size and randomly assigned to treatment. Fecal samples from f...

Objective: The present study investigates the diversity, and distribution of harmful microbes in sediments and groundwater of Tuticorin Corporation. The faecal pollution indicators such as, Total coliform bacteria, Faecal coliform bacteria, Escherichia coli, Faecal streptococci were investigated in the sediments and groundwater samples from 12 locations in the study area.
