Occurrence of Haemoproteus nettionis in Wood Ducks (Aix sponsa L.)
The protozoan Haemoproteus nettionis was found in 77 of 168 wood ducks (Aix sponsa L.) live-trapped on the Upper Mississippi River Wildlife and Fish Refuge in September, 1963. No parasitemia was found in 68 wood ducks live-trapped in July and August, 1959 at the Union Slough National Wildlife Refuge in north-central Iowa. A description of the parasite from wood ducks on the Upper Mississippi Refuge is presented
Specific Antibodies for Mycoplasma in Pheasants on Game Farms in lowa
Serums from 838 ring-necked pheasants (Phasianus colchicus) reared on 28 Iowa game farms were tested for Mycoplasma gallisepticum specific antibodies. Two hundred serums reacted with tube agglutination antigen, but only eight were confirmed with the hemagglutination-inhibition test
Some Blood Parasite and Disease Antibody Findings in Wild Rio Grande Turkeys Stocked in Iowa
Thirty-nine wild Rio Grande turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo intermedia), live-trapped near Sonora, Texas, were tested for various blood parasites and disease antibodies before being released in the Yellow River State Forest in Allamakee County, Iowa, in the fall and winter of 1960-61. Haemoproteus meleagridis was found in 79% of the 39 turkeys· Salmonella pullorum in 15%; and chicken embryo lethal orphan virus (CELO) antibodies in 1 of 9 birds tested for evidence of that disease. Ornithosis was found in one pooled sample of serum that involved 4 birds but it was absent in 15 birds. No evidence was detected for Salmonella typhimurium, Leucocytozoon, Trypanosoma, Plasmodium, Mycoplasma, Newcastle disease virus or western equine viral encephalmoyelitis
PENERAPAN DATA MINING UNTUK MENENTUKAN STRATEGI PROMOSI PROGRAM KB MENGGUNAKAN ALGORITMA K-MEANS CLUSTERING PADA UPT BKB KECAMATAN SAWOO
Strategi promosi program KB yang dilakukan oleh pihak BKKBN maupun UPT BKB masih menyamaratakan seluruh daerah tanpa melihat keberhasilan program KB. Dibutuhkan analisis data agar strategi yang dilakukan bisa tepat sasaran, yang dianalisis sendiri merupakan data rekapitulasi kependudukan yang ada pada UPT BKB. Untuk menganalisis itu dibutuhkan metode atau teknik analisis data yang tepat yaitu dengan analisis data mining menggunakan algortima k-means clustering. Dengan cara melihat pola keterkaitan antar data yang digunakan sebagai penentu keberhasilan program KB. Sehingga pihak BKKBN atau UPT BKB dalam menentukan strategi promosi program KB hanya melihat pola data dari masing – masing klaster.

Blood Parasites in Relation to Pheasants and Quail in Iowa
Blood parasite investigations of ring-necked pheasants (Phasianus colchicus) and bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) were conducted in Iowa during 1957-59 and 1959-61. Wild pheasants from Winnebago, Union, Ringgold, and Adair counties, and wild quail from Ringgold and Wapello counties were checked for blood parasites. Pen-reared pheasants and quail checked for blood parasites were supplied by the State Wildlife Research and Exhibit Station at Boone and by private game clubs. Examination of blood smears from 364 pheasants and 673 bobwhite indicated no positive cases of Haemoproteus, Leucocytozoon, or Plasmodium. Experiments aimed at inducing infections of Plasmodium in pheasants and Leucocytozoon in bobwhite were unsuccessful
Pheasant Farms in lowa
An investigation of privately owned pheasant farms in Iowa was conducted from 1960 to 1963. The objectives of the study were to locate all pheasant farms in the state and to study the distribution, size, annual production and years of operation of these farms. The majority of pheasant breeding operations were located in the southern half of Iowa. A total of 254 individuals reared pheasants during the study, but only 31 pheasant farms operated continuously from 1960 to 1963. The average number of farms per year was 119. A total of 84,943 pheasants was produced during the study. Large pheasant farms (over 500 birds) comprised 5% of the total number of farms, but produced 82% of the pen-reared pheasants. Most pheasant farms (88%) produced fewer than 100 birds each year. An average of 43% of the operators reared pheasants for the first time in each of the years 1960 to 1963. Pheasant breeders in Iowa varied in level of education, background, and employment. No persons depended upon a pheasant farm to supply their entire livelihood. Most operators reared pheasants as a hobby, for local stocking, or for home food consumption. A few sold birds to food processors and to commercial shooting preserves
PENGARUH KOMUNIKASI INFORMASI DAN EDUKASI (KIE) GIZI DENGAN PEMANFAATAN KEARIFAN MAKANAN LOKAL TERHADAP POLA PEMBERIAN MAKAN, ASUPAN GIZI DAN STATUS GIZI PADA BALITA GIZI KURANG PENDUDUK ASLI PAPUA DI KOTA JAYAPURA PROVINSI PAPUA
Background : The Province of Papua has the potential for abundant local food stock, particularly various kinds of tubers and sago, that have become staple foods of Papua for long. However, consumption level of such food is relatively low and little. Consumption of local foods per day is lower than that of other sources of carbohydrate.
Objective : To identify the average difference of nutrition education and information communication and the utilization of local wisdom to feeding pattern, nutrient intake and nutrition status of undernourished underfives local inhabitans of Papua at Jayapura Municipality, Province of Papua.
Study Design : The study was a Quasy Experiment. Samples of the study were undernourished underfives that met inclusion criteria as many as 80 underfives consisting of 40 from the intervention group and 40 from the control group. The study was undertaken at Abepura, Koya Barat and Hamadi Health Centers. The result of the study was analysed using paired t test and independent t test.
Results : The result of statistical t test showed before experiment there was no difference in eating pattern of local and non local food, nutrient intake and nutrition status of underfives (p>0.05) between the intervention group and the control group. The result of paired t-test after Nutrition Education and Information Communication through leaflet, poster and local food recipes showed there was no significant difference (p>0.05) in local and non local food eating pattern. There was significant difference of energy intake suffiensi in the intervetion group (p>0,05) and there was significant difference of carbohydrate intake sufficiency in the intervention group and control group (p0.05), there was significant difference of nutrition education and information communication to underfives nutrition status (p<0.05)
Conclusion : There was no average difference of local and non local food eating pattern, there was average difference of energy and carbohydrate intake sufficiency, there was no average difference of protein intake sufficiency and there was average difference of underfives nutrition status with weight/age indicator z score based
