Abstract:

Hypochlorous acid has been attempted as an additive to animal drinking water in practical animal farming processes for water microbial quality control. Despite its potential, there is still a knowledge gap concerning the effects of hypochlorous acid on both poultry growth performance and gut microbial load. To address this gap, an animal study was conducted using flow cytometry to quantify the age-related microbial load in broiler manure and gut contents. We observed that the effect on growth performance was sustained only during the starter phase, with no significant impact throughout the ent

Abstract:

This study evaluated the impact of different processing techniques on microbial load and sperm quality in frozen–thawed equine semen to identify alternatives to reduce the preventive use of antibiotics. Semen was obtained and processed under rigorous hygiene measures from ten stallions, using four protocols: Simple Centrifugation with antibiotics (S+) and Simple Centrifugation (S−), Filtration (F−) and Single-Layer Colloidal Centrifugation (C−) in an antibiotic-free extender. Microbial load in different culture media, sperm viability and motility were assessed. Microbial load results were cons

The industry standard for TVC determination (ISO 4833:2003) is widely used but presents users with some drawbacks. The method is materials- and labor-intensive, requiring multiple agar plates per sample. More importantly, the method is slow, with 72 h typically required for a definitive result.

Abstract:

Hurdle technology is a food preservation approach that involves combining multiple preservation factors or hurdles to prevent the growth of microorganisms, enzymatic reactions, and other deteriorative processes in food. By employing several hurdles simultaneously, each set at sub-lethal levels, the overall effectiveness of preservation is enhanced. To enhance the microbial safety of clarified citrus juices by employing a combined treatment involving ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, ozone application, and light-emitting diode (LED) technology.

Abstract:

This study was aimed at determining the effect of Vernonia amygdalina leaf meal (VALM) extract in drinking water on the faecal microbial load on post-weaning diarrhea occurrence in piglets using different agar. Forty-five piglets of Large white X Duroc breed were given Vernonia amygdalina (VA) through water infusion. Three levels of 0.0g, 1.2g, and 2.4g of VA per 1000ml of clean drinking water designated as T1, T2, and T3 were used. Nine piglets weaned at different ages of 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th week of age were randomly allotted to three treatments with each treatment replicated three ti

Abstract:

The pathogen loads within surface waters originating from urban wastewater sources needs to be assessed to support drinking water risk estimations and optimal selection of risk reduction measures. Locally reported discharges from sewer systems (&gt;100,000 persons connected) were used to simulate the potential microbial loads into the Göta älv river, Sweden. Using Monte Carlo simulations, the median and 95% percentile (i.e. worst case) of total microbial load from wastewater treatment plants, sewer network overflows and emergency discharges were assessed and presented for dry and wet weath

Abstract:

Airborne microbial contamination in hospital environments poses a significant risk to infection control, especially in operating rooms. This study evaluates airborne microbial loads in six different hospital and adjacent locations through passive sampling using nutrient agar plates. Samples were exposed to air for 10 minutes and incubated for 48 hours to quantify colony-forming units (cfus). The highest microbial counts were observed near the bike stand outside the lab, while the immunology lab recorded the lowest counts. The findings underscore the importance of air quality monitoring and con

Fresh food products can be processed using UV light as a germicidal medium to reduce the food-borne microbial load. Water has been treated with UV light to obtain drinking water for quite some time. Pumpable fruit and vegetable products are generally very suitable for processing by UV light to reduce the microbial load. Today, most of these products are pasteurised to obtain microbiologically safe and nutritious products. However, pasteurisation can change the taste and flavour of such products because of the temperature and processing time. Juices from different sources can be treated by expo
