A study on impact of the age and the type of breeding on the infection level of cattle hyperdemosis was conducted in the cattle of Kruja district through the use of clinical control of the livestock. Out of 386 cattle controlled 42 individuals proved to be positive, or 10.88 % out of the total. The highest percentage of infection was present in the age groups between 2 and 5 years old at 14.2 % of cattle, while the lowest percentage of infection was detected in cattle with the age group at 8 years old or with 2.63 % of cattle. This was statistically tested where R 2 = 0.9228. The highest percentage of infection was in cattle that are being bred in a pasture regime at 5.79 %, while the infection percentage in the livestock bred in the pen-pasture regime was at 14.19 %. the lowest percentage was in cattle that are being bred in the pen regime at 5.91 %. The larvae accumulated from the infected cattle were identified as larvae of bovis hypodermosis.
Bedding materials have a significant impact on heat conductivity loss between organism and environment. The type of bedding materials can reduce in different levels the loss of heat conductivity. We are going to study the impact of bedding material on heat conductivity loss of piglets when they are kept directly on concrete surfaces, wood, plastic layers. Conductivity coefficients (λ) were 1.1 for concrete, 0.125 for wood, and 0.250 for plastic materials. In addition, this study evaluates the importance of thickness of bedding materials on heat conductivity loss of pigs. The heat loss by conductivity on growing pigs was reduced respectively: 34% when pigs were kept in wooden materials, 59% in plastic materials. The thickness of bedding material was 25 cm and the temperature was 19 o C for all types of materials used. These findings are of significant importance to pig's industry husbandry.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
