The objective of this study was to trace the inclusion of bovine meat and bone meal (BMBM) in the diet of Japanese quails by analyzing eggs and egg fractions (yolk and albumen) by the technique of carbon-13 (13C) and nitrogen-15 (15N) stable isotopes.In the trial, 120 Japanese quails were distributed in six treatments with four replicates of five b
Phosphine resistance is occurring among stored-grain pests worldwide.This study investigated the fumigation activity of phosphine (PH3) and carbonyl sulfide (COS) against domestic strain (d-strain) Tribolium castaneum, resistance strain (r-strain) T.castaneum and Oryzaephilus surinamensis.All developmental stages of the pests were exposed to two fu
We here describe the results of the investigation of a honeybee hive that exhibited symptoms of poisoning in the July 2013.During the summer, only a few pesticides such as desiccants, typically quaternary ammonium (quat) and glyphosate formulations, are applied.We therefore analysed samples of not only a wide range of pesticides, but Bell Bongs als
