Major challenges with weight management using weight-loss diets include hunger and rapid consumption of food, both of which lead to poor owner compliance. The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of increasing volume, by incorporating air, into dry expanded food, on satiety in dogs. Three studies have been performed. The first study aimed to measure the effect of volume of food ...

Non-typhoidal salmonellosis is a major cause of food-borne illness in Thailand. Specific serotyping of Salmonellae, linked with certain foods, can be used to identify outbreaks, transmission, and for surveillance. We aimed to identify the chain of non-typhoidal Salmonella transmission from food to humans in five slums, two open markets, four supermarkets and an abattoir in the municipality of K...

Dogs (Canis familiaris) trained to receive a preferred food (dry beef liver) from an experimenter learned to maintain a longer gaze on the experimenter than dogs receiving a less preferred food (dog pellets). Dogs downshifted from dry liver to pellets rejected food more frequently than nonshifted controls. Gaze duration also decreased in downshifted dogs below the level of a group always reinfo...

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disease. It affectsmultiple bodyorgans. The lungs and pancreas are the most affected which results in progressive lung damage and pancreatic insufficiency.Due to thediseaseprocess,CFpatients require significantly higher caloric intake than recommended for other individuals. The nutritional goal for CF patients is to achieve normal growth and develo...

Pathogenic forms of Escherichia coli are commonly known to cause a variety of diarrheal diseases in hosts. Present study was designed to identify such pathogenic E. coli isolates from 7 different groups of street vended foods including cream, egg, non fried dry food and fried dry food, salad, cooked and non cooked items. Among 400 samples studied, almost all were found to be contaminated with a...

Control of adult roaches is usually not problematic as those life cycle stages are actively exploring the habitat for food sources. Nymphs are less mobile and therefore less likely to access a bait spot directly. Natural occurring populations of German cockroach (Blattella germanica L.) show a relatively constant ratio of nymphs in the total population of 0.6, which is largely unaffected by the...
