  • Designing a Mobile Chicken Coop
    Designing a Mobile Chicken Coop An Interdisciplinary Qualifying Project Submitted to the faculty of Worcester Polytechnic Institute In partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science Respectfully Submitted By: Keegan Cole – BME 2015 Lindsey DeLuca – Aero 2015 Kimberly Zielinski – ME 2015 Advisors: Professor Robert Hersh Professor Suzanne LePage March 5, 2014 Designing a Mobile Chicken Coop Abstract To both farmers and the general public, organic chicken farming is a means to promote sustainability and positively impact the environment. We collaborated with NOFA to identify improvements in organic chicken farming by developing mobile chicken coops for organic farmers. Mobile chicken coops benefit the well-being of chickens by providing protection and healthy living spaces, and they can lead to more productive pastures as chickens fertilize the fields and eat grubs and parasites as part of their daily routine. ii Designing a Mobile Chicken Coop Acknowledgements Thanks to our faculty advisor Professor Hersh for keeping our project on track throughout the academic year. His advice, suggestions and overall concern with our efforts helped to spark motivation within our group, which willed this project to completion. We thank him for his patience and ability to read and comment on numerous drafts with much patience and useful constructive criticism. This project would not have been such a positive experience if not for Professor Hersh. Thanks to our second advisor Professor LePage for providing thoughtful and helpful insight throughout the duration of this project. Her genuine interest in guiding us to create a successful project served as keen motivation. Her ideas and input greatly influenced the success of our project and for that we owe her many thanks.

OIE GUIDELINES FOR DIAGNOSIS AND CONTROL OF POULTRY DISEASES N. K. Kakker Anita Dalal and Rajesh Chhabra Department of Veterinary Microbiology, College of Veterinary Sciences, Lala Lajpat Rai University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Hisar-125004, Haryana Poultry bird’s health is affected by number of bacterial, viral, fungal, parasitic, deficiency diseases, managemental and/ or environmental problems. Infectious and contagious diseases have potential of spread at alarming rate. A few diseases have produced historical panzootics along with zoonoses such as Avian Influenza, Newcastle disease, etc. which demand great attention to be prevented rather than treatment and control. The diagnosis and control of some of the important bacterial and viral diseases of poultry are discussed here. A. Diagnosis and Control of Bacterial Diseases 1. Fowl Cholera (Avian Pasteurellosis) is a commonly occurring bacterial disease of birds caused by Pasteurella multocida that affects all types of birds and is often fatal (Glisson et al. 2013). In the peracute form, fowl cholera is highly virulent and infectious. Diagnosis depends on the identification and isolation of causative bacteria (bipolar staining and usually encapsulated) from birds along with signs and lesions consistent with the disease. The isolation from visceral organs (liver, bone marrow, spleen, heart blood) of the birds in acute cases, and from exudative lesions of birds in chronic cases is easily achieved. However, isolation of the organism from birds having no clinical symptoms or decomposed birds is often difficult.
