A Longitudinal Study on Campylobacter spp. in an Integrated Broiler Complex in the Southeast Region of the United States: Prevalence and Phylogenetic Analysis by Yagya Adhikari, Matthew A. Bailey, Dianna V. Bourassa, Sabin Poudel, Richard J. Buhr, Kenneth S. Macklin

“…The odds of Campylobacter spp. detection in broiler farms’ surroundings were 4 times (1.88–8.26; 95% CLs) more likely as compared to parent pullets and breeder farms’ surroundings (p = 0.0004). Similarly, among different sample types, the odds of Campylobacter spp. detection in boot swabs and sponge-stick swabs were more likely as compared to fly paper samples (p ≤ 0.0024). …”

Halofuginone- and Chitosan-Coated Amnion Membranes Demonstrate Improved Abdominal Adhesion Prevention by Scott Washburn, Jamie L. Jennell, Steve J. Hodges

“…Our objective was to determine whether coating the amniotic membrane with halofuginone, a type 1 collagen synthase inhibitor, with or without the hemostasis-inducing substance chitosan, reduced the number and severity of adhesions in the rat uterine horn injury model. Sixty retired breeder Sprague-Dawley rats underwent midline laparotomy and a zone of ischemia was created in the left uterine horn of each animal. …”
