Incentives for the Adoption of Socially Beneficial Technologies: The Case of an E. coli Vaccine
(2015-02-04)Using the E. coli vaccine as a case study, this thesis examines the factors affecting the adoption of technologies with positive spillover (externality) effects related to food safety. Positive spillovers occur when the ... -
Incidence and pathogenesis of enterococcus associated chicken embryo and neonatal mortality
(2020-01-06)Chicken embryo mortality and yolk sac infections (YSI) of neonatal chickens cause a significant economic loss to the poultry industry. In recent years, an emergence of Enterococcus associated YSI in neonatal broiler chickens ... -
INTRAPULMONARY DELIVERY OF OLIGODEOXYNUCLEOTIDES CONTAINING CYTOSINE PHOSPHODIESTER GUANINE MOTIFS (CPG-ODN) TO NEONATAL BROILER CHICKENS
(2019-06-21)Oligodeoxynucleotides containing CpG motifs (CpG-ODN) are known for their ability to stimulate the vertebral immune system and provide protection against pathogens. We have demonstrated the effect of CpG-ODN against ... -
