A study on welfare and productivity of laying chickens through free-range poultry farming and integrating agricultural tourism
No full textIn Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Science in ArchitectureThe poultry/egg-laying industry in the Philippines is constantly growing as the years go on. As a result, consumers began to question the poultry products they were consuming, what type of environment the chickens were in, what type of housing the chicken had been housed in, and the welfare of the chickens. Nowadays, producers are confronted with demands to improve the welfare of the chickens and produce quality products. Chicken welfare is a major concern in poultry/egg production because if the welfare of the chickens is low, it will affect the production of the chickens. Chicken welfare can consider disease prevention, management, good shelter, and humane handling & slaughtering. Poultry farms have different poultry housing; battery-cage is the most common type of housing used in the Philippines, followed by free-range and cage-free housing. Because of the limited space, chickens housed in battery cages have a limited space to express their natural behaviors, unlike free-range and cage-free housings. Later in the following chapters, the chickens' natural behavior and the different problems they encounter inside their poultry housing and transfiguring a poultry house that enhances animal welfare from a study into the planning approach will be discussed

Detection of foodborne parasites in Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) vegetables sold in selected public markets in Davao City
No full textIn Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree in Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology/Medical Laboratory ScienceThe main purpose of this study is to assess parasitic contamination in lettuce (Lactuca
sativa) vegetables obtained from selected public markets in Davao City. This study made use of a quantitative quasi-experimental cross-sectional research design to investigate parasitic contamination in Agdao, Bankerohan, and Toril Public Markets. A
total of sixty samples were purchased, placed in sterile plastic bags, and transported to
the University of Mindanao Medical Technology Laboratory. Each sample was washed
individually with saline, and a simple wet mount technique was used to detect parasites after overnight sedimentation. Upon microscopic examination, findings of the study revealed that out of 60 lettuce samples examined, four were positive for parasites, corresponding to a total prevalence of 6.67 percent. The parasites identified
were Strongyloides stercoralis, Balantidium spp., filariform larva, and trematode egg.
It was also found that there is no significant difference between parasitic contamination among the three public markets. Based on the findings of this study, the researchers conclude that the presence of parasites in lettuce vegetables poses a high risk to food safety. Hence, the researchers recommend that health agencies in the community educate vendors, food handlers, consumers, and the public about the proper washing of lettuce and other leafy vegetables before consumption to prevent possible outbreaks of parasitic infections in the future
