In-depth investigation into high pathogenicity avian influenza viruses (HPAIVs) from clade 2.3.4.4b within the goose/Guangdong/1996 (Gs/GD) H5 lineage reveals significant challenges for commercial duck populations. Ducks, acting as asymptomatic carriers, pose a considerable challenge in controlling the virus’s spread. While recent studies highlight HPAIV replication in feather follicles, the precise contribution of feathers to viral dissemination remains uncertain.

The SaphyRAD S is a portable multi-probe radiation meter designed for use in harsh environments, particularly in the scrap metal industry, where safety and efficiency are paramount. It is equipped with two internal Geiger Müller detectors and a high-sensitivity gamma probe, enabling precise measurement of contamination. Enhanced safety: The SaphyRAD S detects potentially hazardous radioactive […]

Bacteria are present in large numbers in livestock buildings, and can threaten animal and public health. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major concern worldwide, and national measures based on the “One Health” approach are being implemented in many countries.

Cortisol is the stress hormone. This makes it an ideal biomarker for the study of long-term stress. Researchers suggest that the average concentration of cortisol in the hair of healthy, low-stress individuals is 55pg/mhair (range 40-128pg/mhair). In stressed individuals it is 250pg/mhair (range 182-520pg/mhair).
