http://www.cbsnews.com/news/implants-and-facelifts-for-your-pet-inside-the-pet-plastic-surgery-industry/
Cosmetic surgery vs reconstructive surgery.The major difference is that the reconstructive surgery is usually an intervention to save the life of the pet.The procedures ranges from placing testicular implants in neutered studs , entropion, nose jobs to open airways in brachycephalics and provision of a new limb in cases of amputate patients.The advantage of this type of surgery over the purely cosmetic, is the fact that procedures are covered by insurance. This is one of the benefits of getting a pet plan for your dogs.

VETERINARY MEDICINE: FACTORS AFFECTING EGG PRODUCTION IN LAYING FLOCK.
VETERINARY MEDICINE: FACTORS AFFECTING EGG PRODUCTION IN LAYING FLOCK. 
VETERINARY MEDICINE: FACTORS AFFECTING EGG PRODUCTION IN LAYING FLOCK.
The laying cycle in chicken depends on the breed of the chicken,management factors and bio-security measures.There is actually a
pattern these birds conform to,but if all other factors are not constant,then the birds will not lay as expected. Laying birds start to lay at about 21weeks,but not all birds in the flock will start at this time,only about 5% of flock start here.The egg laying pattern is a progressive pattern with more and more birds coming into lay as weeks increase.
The following are some of the factors that affect egg laying that reduces the progressive increase expected;
1)Breed, some light breeds come into lay early while the heavier breeds come on later.
2) Body weight,the body weight around the laying period is 1.5kg, birds that have not attained this weight,will have delayed onset of lay. Overweight and underweight birds usually have delayed onset and produce smaller eggs.
3)lighting management, light stimulates egg production,thus it is imperative to increase day length by artificial lighting by 2/3 hours.This will increase egg production by 20/30%.
4) Temperature control; when temperature rises above 28 degrees, the production level and quality of eggs is reduced.Seasonal/sporadic temperature change reduces egg production by 10%.The maintenance of temperature below 28 degrees is very vital to production.
5) Management factors, simple but efficient yet effective techniques are necessary to ensure proper egg production.Strict bio security protocols to prevent entry of diseases can eliminate disease occurrence by 90%.These management practices include proper feeding,housing and medication uses when needed.
6)Disease control is very vital to egg production,hence the necessary drugs,vaccines and supplements must be provided to prevent diseases and control spread when an out break occurs.
All these factors work together to ensure that eggs are produced at the right time with expected frquency and size.

VACCINATION PROTOCOL FOR TURKEYS.
RAISING TURKEYS FOR PROFIT.
Rising turkeys should be targeted towards celebrations such as thanksgiving and Yuletide season.The production cycle is 6 months,hence a good head start will be the beginning of the year,to market at midyear.The second phase of the year can be targeted to start off and market at the end of the year.
The first step towards success is to start off with healthy poults,that are sourced from reputable hatcheries.The breed you desire is also chosen before you start venture, the large white or the broad breasted bronze.These are the common species with much preference for the broad breasted as it matures faster and reaches market weight faster.
The following should be considered when you are planning to raise turkeys;
1)source poults from reputable sources.
2) prepare the brooder house before arrival of poults. The heat must be turned on before the arrival,feeder and drinker clean and ready.
3)use clean and dry litter in the house.
4)dont raise chickens with turkeys.
5)practice the all-in-all out system.
6)ensure free air flow,proper ventilation.
7)adequate feed and water to be provided.
8)give feed with adequate protein level;
0-6/8 weeks....................28% protein.
9-12 weeks........22%protein.
13-16 weeks.....19% protein
17 weeks - market...............16% protein.
Vitamins,vaccinations and antibiotics /other medications are essential.Ensure strict bio-security protocols at all times.

AGRIBUSINESS: THE ECONOMIC VALUE OF RUNNING A PARK.
The era of wishing to go on a safari/ bird expedition is over, as you can own one right now.The experience of waking up to birdy calls,chirps can only be experienced to fully grasp the feeling.Growing up,and traveling to visit historic places and grannies did take its toll on me,but looking back the experience was priceless. The re-creation of that experience is possible in the city,and yes you can make money from the venture.
AGRIBUSINESS: THE ECONOMIC VALUE OF RUNNING A PARK. The park could be personal,just for you and your family or on a large scale,where you open to the public and make money.
The personal bird park, has therapeutic effects on the young and old.The setting brings you closer to nature,you walk around different pens,observe different birds and even bond with these creatures. This is a good retirement venture; clear a portion in your yard/if you have a lawn,then you can start something to keep you alert and active.
The commercial venture will require more space; hence a large expanse of land is required.The types of species kept depends on your financial capacity,targeted audience and of course your management protocols.
AGRIBUSINESS: THE ECONOMIC VALUE OF RUNNING A PARK. The potential of the commercial parks are enormous,aside normal sight seeing by tourists,the educational advantage cant be ignored.The park can give scheduled educational tours to school children for a token.The kids can come to park to learn ,observe some of the birds/other animals they have been taught in school.The park will be an ideal fun zone for children and adults.
The park will also be an entertainment zone,where you can take rare pictures,shoot musical videos or even shoot certain scenes of films.The park can house other animals aside birds,depending on your market,the profit from this venture is enormous,much more than i have highlighted.

AGRIBUSINESS : WOMEN EMPOWERMENT,MDGS AND POULTRY VALUE CHAIN.
AGRIBUSINESS : WOMEN EMPOWERMENT,MDGS AND POULTRY VALUE CHAIN.
The poultry value chain is a means of empowering women,this will in turn ensure food security while also encouraging children to go to school.The chain has various phases that can accommodate women; the egg sales/distribution, raising birds,selling packaged chicken,live chicken and also selling various chicken parts and opening food courts.
AGRIBUSINESS : WOMEN EMPOWERMENT,MDGS AND POULTRY VALUE CHAIN. Women make up a large % of farmers,that ensure food is available for the home front and for sale as well.
When women are provided with chicks/space/feed/cages; any form of seed capital will ensure a turn around that they can live on.The women are responsible for the upkeep of their children,where the mothers have no means of livelihood,the children suffer and cant go to school.
When women are empowered,more kids go to school and the school feeding programme is another area of empowerment.The women in an area/community could be organized to groups/subgroups; where a group produces,and other group prepares provided food stuff for the school children.This way at least the children are sure of nutritious meals at home and school.
AGRIBUSINESS:HOW TO TAKE CARE OF CHICKENS.
AGRIBUSINESS:HOW TO TAKE CARE OF CHICKENS. 
AGRIBUSINESS:HOW TO TAKE CARE OF CHICKENS. The success of the venture depends on following strict health protocols that are wrapped around simple but effective bio security protocol.The health protocol involves vaccinations coupled with medications.The use of drugs take into consideration the withdrawal time,so as not to process birds with antibiotic residue for human consumption.
Vaccination refers to a method of disease prevention in healthy animals by challenging the animal with an attenuated/killed agent of a disease so as to elicit the production of antibodies.
When vaccinations are done properly and immunity conferred,the animal is said to have been immunized against such causative agents of disease.Vaccination though stimulates antibodies production to protect the animals ,but if not done properly ;the desired immunity will not be conferred.When immunity is not conferred,2 major causes are fingered.These are vaccine failure or vaccine break.
When immunity is not conferred due to vaccine break,the following are causes; 1)when the cold chain is broken; usually from point of sale to area you need them.The vaccines are to be transported in coolers with enough ice packs for the trip.The potency of the vaccines cant be guaranteed when this occurs,and when used the required immunity is not conferred.
2) when using inappropriate dilution and concentration; this nullifies any effect the vaccine should have on the birds.
3)when expired vaccines are used,definitely no immunity can be conferred.
While vaccine failure could occur in any of the following scenarios;1)using inappropriate dose; under/overdosing will not elicit any antibody reaction.
2)wrong dilution/route.
3)vaccination of sick birds.
4)stress on birds during handling especially in hot weather.
5)Use of chemicals along side the vaccines especially water purification solutions.
6)vaccinating birds when signs of diseases are visible in flock.
AGRIBUSINESS:HOW TO TAKE CARE OF CHICKENS. Vaccinations,though very essential ,if not properly carried out will just be a waste of resources.
When planning to vaccinate; keep it simple.
1)place vaccine in ice pack.
2)engage qualified personnel.
3) use vaccine as directed by manufacturers.

AGRIBUSINESS: COMMON CAUSES OF CHICK MORTALITY .
AGRIBUSINESS: COMMON CAUSES OF CHICK MORTALITY .
The brooding phase of production is the determinant of the overall success of the venture.This is definitely hinged on procurement of healthy chicks from renowned hatcheries.The management factor is key to the success of other operations in the cycle hence extra attention must be given to birds for the first few weeks of life.
The common causes of chick mortality are; 1) hatchery defects,this is common in birds that were not exposed to proper conditions of temperature and humidity in the incubator.The chicks that were brought out under such conditions,will not thrive at all,they will die off after a few days.
AGRIBUSINESS: COMMON CAUSES OF CHICK MORTALITY .Chocking and suffocation;these occurs when brooder lanterns/heating systems are faulty,this coupled with poor ventilation results in build up of smokes/fumes in the house.This results in inhalation of fumes by chicks resulting in chocking/suffocation.
Chilling; when the brooder house is cold and the heat source is not adequate,especially on cold nights when its cold.The chicks will huddle towards light source,resulting in death from overcrowding as a result of chilling.
AGRIBUSINESS: COMMON CAUSES OF CHICK MORTALITY .Thirst: when inadequate drinkers are provided and also when sufficient water is not made available,this will result in dehydration leading to death of chicks.
AGRIBUSINESS: COMMON CAUSES OF CHICK MORTALITY . Starvation, arise when adequate feed is not provided,or when necessary feeders are not provided,the chicks will not have access to enough feed.This will encourage huddling towards feeder,where only few birds have access to feed,causing starvation and eventual death in the birds.Where the birds dont have enough water,they will not take adequate feed as well,because the chicks need twice amount of water for feed consumed.
Trauma; can arise from improper handling,wrong placement of brooder equipment,or using equipment with sharp edges resulting in injuries that can result in death or deformation.This results in culling of deformed chicks.
There are disease conditions that cause mortalities such as,yolk sac omphalities, aspergillosis,chronic respiratory disease,salmonellosis e.t.c.This will be discussed later.

Quail # quail farming.
Quail birds are small sized birds that lay small sized tinted eggs but are packed with vitamins.
The sizes of the birds make it easy to manage, and their life cycle also encourages rearing in-house or out in the barn. The most common species are the Bob white quail and the Japanese quail; Coturnix japonlca.
The quails have some advantages over the chicken; 1) the female quail begin to lay at 6 weeks and this continues for a year.2)They require minimal space for raising; the requirement is about 2 birds per square metre. 3) The quails are efficient feed converters; each quail egg is about 8% of the weight, while the chicken gives 3% of her weight. 4) They can also be slaughtered at 6 weeks.
QUAIL MANAGEMENT.
Males and females are raised to produce fertile eggs, which is a ratio-of 2 females to one male. It’s important to maintain this ratio because more males exposed to caged females will result in one male dominating, and pecking and injuring the other males.
The ideal method is to have 1 male +2 females in a cage, and within 24 hours the egg produced is fertile and fertility is maintained for 3 weeks even after the male has been removed.(Woodward et al 73).The quails don’t sit on their eggs, so eggs collected are set in the incubator. The eggs hatch in 16 days.
QUAILS AND THE IMPACT IN THE POULTRY VALUE CHAIN.
Quails are easy to raise as they require little space and are easy to handle. The birds consume less feed but have high feed conversion ratio, with high laying intensity. The quail birds though small are money making machines, every part of them yields money.
The birds can be raised for meat, table eggs, fertile eggs, their waste can be processed and sold as fertilizer, and the feathers can also be processed and used as ornaments. Let’s look at the various stages: the females start laying about 6weeks,
Let’s assume you keep 300 birds, they will lay 300 eggs a day that is 10 crates a day. This egg laying intensity is to our advantage, as the bird’s consume 25g of feed/day.
The birds can be processed at about 8 weeks; they can be smoked and packed for sale.
HOUSING.
Quails are raised in house or out in the yard.The cages can be wooden or made from iron. The floor is made of wire so that dropping are collected under the cages.The floor is slanted so that eggs are rolled to the front of the cages for easy collection.
Feeding.
The birds are given good quality feed and water is made available always.vitamins and minerals can be added to the water once a while,but this is of utmost value in hot weather.The birds can be given worms and some green as supplements to the feed.

Cracked eggs on the farm!, a farmers worst nightmare.The issue of cracked eggs borders on management practices,how the eggs are picked,sorted/graded and stored.
Cracked eggs are results in losses in the poultry industry,and can be a profit blocker if not properly managed.
Cracked eggs, though a cause of concern,the effect could be managed if underling management issues are addressed.
.Cracked eggs could be turned to a money-spinning venture with some creative stints.
The following are ways in which wealth could be generated from cracked eggs;
1) sell to caterers who prefer to buy cracked eggs,as it will be used immediately.
2) food vendors; those that make food at street corners ,usually fry these eggs immediately and get value for the eggs.
3) These eggs could be powdered, packaged and sold to food processing companies.
4) The eggs can also be sold as liquid eggs or frozen eggs; which are valuable in the food court,ice cream companies e.t.c
The waste to wealth initiative could also benefit from cracked eggs; depending on the number of eggs available and poultry houses involved in the scheme,these eggs could be collected and cooked in central kitchen that caters for poor,homeless people. Cracked but still valuable.
