Broiler transport coops become soiled with feces during use. When this fecal matter contains Campylobacter, the result can be cross-contamination of subsequent flocks that were previously free of this important human pathogen. Because washing and sanitizing coops requires large amounts of water and is not always effective enough to justify the expense, few broiler companies wash and sanitize du...

The presence of microbial load and high fiber content in various non conventional feedstuffs limit their utilization in poultry feed. In the present study, the feedstuffs were treated with acidified sodium chlorite (ASC) and its impact on  the microbial load and metabolizable energy availability was assessed in  the chickens. The effect of supplementation of feed grade enzyme was also evaluated...

Increased meat and egg production leads to concomitant changes in poultry practices, including the indiscriminate use of formaldehyde sanitize hatching eggs. Although this sanitizer aids increase production, its toxic potential for man avian embryos represents an obstacle long-term use. This review assesses whether essential oils fit into context contamination, reviewing their antimicrobial eff...

A new system has been developed for sanitizing floors in hospitals; this system replaces the traditional procedure of daily dusting and wet mopping with a disinfectant-detergent solution and periodic buffing . This new system relies on a sequence of procedures consisting of dust mopping using a chemically treated dust mop, machine buffing of a sprayed-on polymer treatment, and a second dust mop...

The antimicrobial activity of five sanitizing agents employed in clean areas designated for the pharmaceutical manufacturing of sterile products was tested against nine microorganisms, including four microorganisms from the clean area microbiota. The method consisted of challenging 5 mL of each sanitizing agent 70% isopropyl alcohol, 0.4% LPH®, 1.16% hydrogen peroxide, 4% hydrogen peroxide, 1% ...

Releasing social network data could seriously breach user privacy. User profile and friendship relations are inherently private. Unfortunately, it is possible to predict sensitive information carried in released data latently by utilizing data mining techniques. Therefore, sanitizing network data prior to release is necessary. In this paper, we explore how to launch an inference attack exploiti...

Mycobacterium bovis causes classic bovine tuberculosis, a zoonosis which is still a concern in Africa. Biofilm forming ability of two Mycobacterium bovis strains was assessed on coupons of cement, ceramic, or stainless steel in three different microbiological media at 37°C with agitation for 2, 3, or 4 weeks to determine the medium that promotes biofilm. Biofilm mass accumulated on coupons was ...

Reliably erasing data from storage media (sanitizing the media) is a critical component of secure data management. While sanitizing entire disks and individual files is well-understood for hard drives, flash-based solid state disks have a very different internal architecture, so it is unclear whether hard drive techniques will work for SSDs as well. We empirically evaluate the effectiveness of ...

Numbers of the programs are poorly written, lacking even the most basic security procedures for handling input data from users. The input validation vulnerability can be detected by many tools but few tools can fix the flaws automatically. The security gateway can used to protect vulnerable Web sites immediately but it may induce false recognition through impersonal rule. By means of hybrid ana...
