FEATHERS AND FORTUNES: AN OVERVIEW OF COMMERCIAL JAPANESE QUAIL PRODUCTION AND DISEASE MANAGEMENT IN THE THRIVING INDIAN MARKET
Meera R Iyer
Commercial Japanese quail farming is on the rise in India and currently holds the second largest poultry population next to chickens. This 400-word abstract will discuss the general management practices, feeding management, and disease management in this growing industry. Though Japanese quail are hardier compared to chickens, they are still susceptible to various infectious and non-infectious diseases due to intensive rearing systems. This abstract will explore common diseases such as brooder pneumonia, omphalitis, coccidiosis, ulcerative enteritis, mycoplasmosis, pasteurellosis, and Newcastle disease, and the importance of implementing strict bio-security procedures to prevent and control pathogens in and around the farm
RÍO SOTO LA MARINA'S HIDDEN GEM: FUNDULUS HERMINIAMATILDAE, A NOVEL KILLIFISH SPECIES DISCOVERED IN THE UPPER BASIN OF NUEVO LEÓN, MEXICO
Mariana L González, M. García Alejandro
Fundulus herminiamatildae sp. nov. Is endemic from the Marmolejo stream, a head water tributary of Río Soto La Marina basin, in the municipality of Aramberri, Nuevo León, México. Geologically, it is located in the Northeastern province of México, specifically in the Sierra Madre Oriental subprovince. The water temperatura is a determinant and important factor for the species differentiation. Its closest relative is F. philpisteri. Fundulus herminiamatildae is distinguished from other killifishes by a large number of conspicuous and simple lateral bars, body with high profile, and the following proportions in cephalic length: snout (2.52.9, mean 2.7) eye diameter (4.1-4.9, mean...
INNOVATIONS IN INCISION: PROGRESSING CERVICAL SPONDYLOTIC RADICULOPATHY TREATMENT THROUGH MINIMALLY INVASIVE FORAMEN INTERVENTION
Lin H Zhang
Cervical spondylotic radiculopathy (CSR) is a common degenerative disease in spinal surgery, which is mainly caused by intervertebral disc degeneration and its secondary pathological changes, resulting in nerve root compression at the same stage, resulting in pain, numbness, weakness and other root symptoms in the corresponding nerve distribution area. Cervical spondylotic radiculopathy is mainly treated by conservative treatment, but ineffective by regular conservative treatment needs surgical treatment. At present, the traditional anterior fusion and internal fixation is still the "gold standard" for the treatment of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy. However, this operation has some shortcomings such as greater surgical trauma and...
