No full textAssessment of animal welfare in dairy cattle farming - Evaluation of the Welfare Quality (R) Protocol
No full textThis article deals with the evaluation of the Welfare Quality (R) Protocol for cattle, a newly developed assessment system to assess the animal welfare at farm level. In this study 20 dairy farms in Lower Saxony were evaluated by two independent assessors applying the Welfare Quality (R) Protocol. Data were analyzed regarding the validity, reliability and feasibility of the standardized evaluation system. It was demonstrated that the Welfare Quality (R) Protocol for cattle provides a good basis to identify risk factors between farms and differentiate housing systems in respect of the animal welfare. However, the level of reliability and feasibility was not satisfying for all the different indicators. By modifying single indicators and the establishment of a profound education of assessors it will be possible to successfully implement the Welfare Quality (R) concept as a standardized assessment system in Europe. However, a reduction of the substantial labour costs is required as a first step

Current vaccination strategies are not protective enough to induce sterilizing immunity, nor block transmission, which has driven MDV to increased virulence and transmission. Better strategies are needed to block MDV circulation in poultry houses by targeting transmission. The conserved Herpesviridae protein kinase (CHPK) is a gene encoded by all members of Herpesviridae. This gene is essential for dissemination of the virus, and for beta- and gammaherpesviruses it is also essential for replication of the virus. However, for avian alphaherpesviruses it is not essential for replication. Our previous work has shown that MDV CHPK, gene UL13, is essential for transmission of the virus, but is dispensable for both in vitro and in vivo replication. For other CHPKs, they have been shown to be important for both virion assembly in infected cells and virion disassembly in newly infected cells. Thus, we hypothesize that MDV CHPK plays a role in both release of infectious virus from the infected chickens and initiation of infection in the naïve chicken. The research described in this thesis provides insight into the stability of CHPK protein, the conserved function(s) of CHPK in avian herpesviruses, CHPK’s ability to undergo functional complementation, and patterns of cellular localization of avian CHPKs. First, we determined that the invariant lysine 170 (K170) of MDV CHPK is required for interindividual spread, auto phosphorylation of CHPK, and mutation to methionine (M170) results in instability of the CHPK protein. Mutation of CHPK severely affected CHPK localization and late viral protein expression in feather follicles where MDV is shed. Second, we investigated CHPK and its importance in MD vaccine Gallid alphaherpesvirus 3 (GaHV3), replication and transmission; mutated CHPK rendered GaHV3 unable to transmit while wild type GaHV3 transmitted successfully. Third, coinfection of vaccine and virulent MDV was studied; our results showed dual infection and complementation successfully occurred but was not mediated by CHPK. Fourth, we confirmed that the invariant lysine of GaHV3 CHPK is required for interindividual spread and this mutation severely affected CHPK localization and late gene expression in GaHV3. In summary, these studies advance our knowledge of avian herpesvirus pathogenesis, the conserved role of avian CHPKs in host-to-host transmission and potentiate the use of non-transmittable MD vaccines in the future

A Tripartite Post-Recession Rebalancing
No full textIn this latest Advance & Rutgers Report, entitled “A Tripartite Post-Recession Rebalancing,” Dean James W. Hughes and Professor Joseph J. Seneca deliver an incisive assessment of the current market conditions and obstacles in the path of our economic recovery. They offer a statistical cautionary tale that the private and public sector need to hear and acknowledge in order for the economy to make continued progress.This report was published as Issue Paper Number 7, November 2011, in Advance & Rutgers Report
