Estudio del efecto de la regulación de la iluminación en pollos de engorde de la linea Hubbard Peterson en la granja avícola Belén, El Viejo, Chinandega

Con el fin de determinar el programa de iluminación más adecuado que permita maximizar los rendimientos productivos y disminuir los costos de producción en pollos de engorde, se realizó el presente ensayo en condiciones de producción comercial, bajo un sistema tradicional. El total de aves utilizadas fueron 196, pertenecientes a la línea Hubbard Peterson, de un día de nacidas, mixtas. Estas fueron alojadas en una galera (rancho de palma) con dimensiones de 29 m de largo * 1O m de ancho* 5 m de alto, y capacidad total de alojamiento de 2900 aves; por un período de 42 días. Para efectos experimentales las aves fueron agrupadas aleatoriamente en dos cubículos, a razón de 98/ grupo, utilizando una densidad de alojamiento de 9 8 aves 1m2. Los tratamientos evaluados fueron: T1= 23 hrs luz + 1 hr de oscuridad y T2 = 23 hrs luz + 1 hr de oscuridad hasta las dos semanas, en adelante hasta el sacrificio sólo luz natural. Las variables de respuesta fueron: Peso Final (PF) Consumo de Alimento (CAl) , Ganancia Media Diaria (GMD) e índice de Conversión Alimenticia (ICA), Margen Bruto (MB) y Relación Beneficio Costo (8\C). Para el análisis estadístico se utilizó un DCA con arreglo bifactoríal y prueba de separación de medías por Tukey, mediante el paquete estadístico SAS, 1991. Con base en los resultados de los análisis, no se encontraron diferencias significativas entre los tratamientos para las variables GMD e ICA; no así para CAL, y PF. Los valores promedios semanales a lo largo del período (6 semanas), pera las variables evaluadas, fueron los siguientes: Para T1, CAl= 87.37g, GM0=57.17g, ICA= 1.66 y PF= 1.895kg: para T2, CAL= 83.68g, GMD= 54.81g, ICA= 1.58 y PF= 1.833kg. En el análisis financiero, el tratamiento con un periodo de 12 horas de iluminación, se obtuvo una reducción del 66.66% en los costos de iluminación, y una superioridad del 19% en el margen bruto y 6.15% en la relación beneficio costo en relación al periodo de 23 horas luz.

Evaluación de líneas de sorgo por su resistencia a la mosquita, Stenodiplosis sorghicola (Coq.) en Nicaragua

Con el objetivo de evaluar líneas de sorgo por su resistencia a la mosquita, Stenodiplosis sorghicola (Coq.), se introdujo procedente de la Universidad de Texas A & M, en el año 2004 un vivero de 64 líneas de sorgo con resistencia a mosquita. Se seleccionaron las mejores 35 por aspecto de planta para sembrarlas nuevamente en 2005. Además en 2005 se intro dujo otro vivero de 50 líneas. Los tres viveros se sembraron en surcos de 5 m de largo distribuidos en bloques completos al azar con 3 repeticiones en la época de postrera (Agosto – Diciembre) de 2004 en Santa Rosa y 2005 en CNIA, am bas estaciones experimentales del Instituto Nicaragüense de Tecnología Agropecuaria (INTA). El daño de mosquita se evaluó usando la escala visual para daño elaborada por Fre deriksen et al (1981). También las líneas se evaluaron para rendimiento de grano y se tomó datos de días a floración y altura de planta. Los resultados indican que en 2004 Las lí - neas de mayor rendimiento de grano fueron 02CM1137-BK/ LM, 03CM15085-BK, 03CM15038-BK y 03CM15033-BK con 6002, 5194, 5144 y 5066 kg/ha respectivamente y que el daño de mosquita fue muy bajo. En 2005, en la evaluación de 35 líneas seleccionadas en 2004, las de mayor rendimien to fueron 03CM15038-BK, 03CM15033-BK, 03CM15131 y 01LI9278 con 6406, 6396, 6255 y 6215 kg/ha y daño de mosquita de 1.3, 1.0, 1.3 y 1.0 respectivamente. El daño de mosquita fue severo y algunas líneas no produjeron grano. El menor rendimiento se encontró en la línea 01LI9275 con 280 kg/ha y daño de 8.3. En el vivero nuevo introducido en 2005 las líneas de mayor rendimiento fueron 05:03CM15087-BK, 05:04LI4366, 05:00LI1324 y 05LI4042,43 con 7915, 7238, 6625 y 5088 kg/ha respectivamente y daño de mosquita de 1.0 en las primeras tres líneas y 2.0 en la cuarta. En este vi vero, la línea 05:04LI4015,16 no produjo grano y el daño fue de 9.0.

Review of investigation on the feeding of the European grayling [Translation from: Flora Slodkowodna Polski. Tom 2. Cyanophyta, Glaucophyta (ed. K. Starmach) p350-352. Warsaw, Polska Academia Nauk, 1966]

The composition of the food of the European grayling and the character of its feeding has been studied fully enough, but this knowledge is scattered in the literature and often contradictory. rare exceptions, analysis of the results of different investigations. Therefore the proposed short outline of the history of the study of the problem with a description of the basic data on the feeding of the grayling in different geographical areas is presented as expedient and opportune, primarily in relation to the determination of immediate problems and the trend of research.

"They Come, They Fish, and They Go:” EC Fisheries Agreements with Cape Verde and São Tomé e Príncipe

Fisheries agreements with the European Community (EC) are an important component of the fisheries sector in Cape Verde and São Tomé e Príncipe, constituting today a key source of income for the respective fisheries administration. In spite of this, and of the fact that these agreements have been renewed several times over the past decades, challenges remain in domains such as control and communication of fishing activities, follow-up of financial counterparts, and integration of European fleets’ operations with the Cape Verdean and Santomean economies. This paper analyzes the EC fisheries agreements with Cape Verde and São Tomé e Príncipe in terms of those domains, considering both the contents of the agreements and their practical implementation. The fisheries sector in each of these countries is reviewed, as are some of the fundamentals and criticisms of EC fisheries agreements. It is argued that the agreements with Cape Verde and São Tomé e Príncipe will not live up to the stated objectives of sustainability and responsibility in fisheries until improvements are made to the control of EC vessels, the follow-up of funds paid by the EC, and the size and diversity of benefits accruing to the fisheries and related sectors in the two countries

New algorithms of the TSM and TOM methods for calibrating microwave test fixtures

Based on the conventional through-short-match (TSM) method, an improved TSM method has been proposed in this Letter. This method gives an analytical solution and has almost all the advantages of conventional TSM methods. For example, it has no phase uncertainty and no bandwidth limitation. The experimental results show that the accuracy can be significantly improved with this method. The proposed theory can be applied to the through-open-match (TOM) method. (C) 2002 Wiley Periodicals.

Tom Sawyer and the construction of value

This paper challenges the common assumption that economic agents know their tastes. After reviewing previous research showing that valuation of ordinary products and experiences can be manipulated by non-normative cues, we present three studies showing that in some cases people do not have a pre-existing sense of whether an experience is good or bad-even when they have experienced a sample of it. © 2005 Elsevier B.V.
