APPLIED RESEARCH NOTE: EVALUATION OF HEAD REMOVAL FOLLOWING EUTHANASIA BY CERVICAL DISLOCATION ON LATENCY INSENSIBILITY AND DEATH ON BROILER WELFARE

Applied Research Note: Evaluation of head removal following euthanasia by cervical dislocation on latency insensibility and death on broiler welfare

SUMMARY: The impact of head removal during cervical dislocation on bird welfare is currently unknown.In this study, broilers (n = 180; 35, 44, and 50 d of age) were assigned either euthanasia by cervical dislocation with a head removal (HR) or cervical dislocation only (CDO) treatment to evaluate their behavioral and reflexive response.The HR treat

Curlometer and gradient techniques: past and future applications

We review the range of applications and use of multi spacecraft techniques, applicable to close formation arrays of spacecraft, focusing on spatial gradient based methods, and the curlometer in particular.The curlometer was originally applied to Cluster multi-spacecraft magnetic field data, but later was updated for different environments and measu

Evaluating soil water content data monitored at different locations in a vineyard with regard to irrigation control

Knowledge on the water content of a certain soil profile and its temporal changes due to rainfall and plant water uptake is a key issue for irrigation management.In this wanted reward sign regard, sensors can be utilized to monitor soil water content (SWC).Due to the characteristic spatial variability of SWC, a key question is whether the measureme
