Urinary incontinence and neurogenic bladder are common in children, and can be difficult to treat. This themed issue includes contributions by experts in the management of these disorders. Dr. John Kryger discusses the nonsurgical management of neurogenic bladder in children with spina bifida. Drs. Lori Dyer and Israel Franco summarize the literature and their experience with the use of botulin...

the present research was conducted to analyze the genetic structure of egg quality traits in japanese quail. external and internal egg quality traits were assessed on 1706 eggs of laying japanese quail. eggs were collected for 4 days at the quaits 10 weeks of age. the investigated traits were analyzed through univariate as well as multivariate animal models employing restricted maximum likeliho...

The study was conducted to determine the effect of varying protein levels and preservation method on external egg qualities of Japanese quails. A total of 180 birds were randomly allotted into three dietary treatments in a completely randomized design (CRD) replicated six times. A factorial arrangement of 3 × 4 × 4 which involves 3 protein levels (15, 20 and 25% crude protein), 4 storage method...

the present research was designed to examine the genetic analysis of egg weight, egg yolk weight and egg albumen weight of bovan neva black laying hens at 25, 51 and 72 weeks. for this purpose, thirty birds were selected from the layer flock in the babcock university teaching and research farm. they were individually housed in separate labeled battery cage. a total of thirty eggs were collected...

an experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of using different levels of red pepper powder (rp) and marigold flower powder (mf) on egg production, egg yolk color andsome blood metabolites in laying hens. ninety, 103-weeks old laying hens were divided into 5 treatments groups of 6 birds in each cage with 3 replicates in a completely randomized design. the birds were fed a corn-soybean...

Data of four layers flocks (#31-34) from North Carolina Layer Performance and Management Test of the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services were used in the meta-analysis to find if an increase in space allowance can affect egg production traits in white and brown layers. Effects of space allowance of 310 and 413 cm2/bird on layers performance were compared in this study. The increase ...
