The aims of this study were to determine the ability of amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) to differentiate Salmonella isolates from different units of swine production and to demonstrate the relatedness of Salmonella between farms and abattoirs by AFLP. Twenty-four farms in the midwestern United States were visited four times from 2006 to 2009. At each farm or abattoir visit, 30 fec...

World population growth and food demand have been two major elements leading to the expansion of animal and fish production. Recently, many efforts advocated the extension of intensive fish farming to optimize the need for animal protein (Hussein et al., 2013). In Korea, aquaculture has made rapid development in a short period of time, and many fish farms have been established in order to fulfi...

While wind farms have no inherent storage to supply power in calm conditions, this paper demonstrates that large tidal turbine farms in channels have short-term energy storage. This storage lies in the inertia of the oscillating flow and can be used to exceed the previously published upper limit for power production by currents in a tidal channel, while simultaneously maintaining stronger curre...

OBJECTIVE To characterize the risk of interactions that may lead to the transmission of Mycobacterium bovis between cattle and white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) on farms in northern Minnesota. SAMPLE 53 cattle farms in northwestern Minnesota adjacent to an area where bovine tuberculosis-infected cattle and deer were detected. PROCEDURES A semiquantitative deer-cattle interaction as...

Preferences for developing 3600 MW offshore wind farms in Denmark are estimated based on data from a choice experiment. The variation willingness to pay the location of power development at 8, 12, 18, or 50 km shore is analysed as function gender, age, education, income, turbine viewshed, and beach visits. With space mixlogit model, we find that varies significantly income level, viewshed farms...

The dairy industry has seen structural changes in the last 25 yr that have an impact on extension programming. The number of cows in the United States has decreased by 17%, whereas the number of dairy farms has decreased by 74%. The average milk production per cow has increased from 5,394 to 8,599 kg/lactation. Even though there are fewer farms, dairy farm managers are asking for more specific ...
