"ADVANCED HATCHERY MANAGEMENT TRAINING" 16-22 September, 2020 Introduction: Poultry farming is a rapidly growing agricultural industry in Nepal contributing 4 % to the NGDP. Total meat consumption per day in the country is 350 tons (NPF, 2018) and total egg consumption per day is 3.6 million (NEPA, 2020).

A few months back we got a case in our hospital with clinical signs of polyuria, polydipsia and inappetence in a dog of middle-age. This was the shelter dog, recently adopted by an altruistic family. The bundle of other reasons could cause the above clinical signs although we ultimately narrow down our diagnosis to Cushing’s disease after several other differential diagnoses came negative. Let’s understand this disease briefly: What is Cus [...]

Pathogenesis of COVID-19 After the virus enters the body, it needs a special receptor to help it enter the cell. This receptor is called (Angiotensin Converting Enzymes_2) Symbolized by ACE_2. The ACE_2 is present on the surface of the alveolar cells in the lung. We have 3 types of alveolar cells: Type1: Responsible for gas exchange. Type2: It is responsible for producing "surfactant" which is a mixture of proteins and [...]
Biofloc fish farming in South Asia is getting popular day by day. Originated in Indonesia, this technology entered South Asian countries through some fish farmers. It is an innovative and cost-effective technology in which toxic materials to the fish and shellfish such as Nitrate, Nitrite, and Ammonia can be converted to useful product i.e. proteinaceous feed. It is the technology used in aquaculture system with limited or zero water exchange [...]

Ninety nine percent of the body’s calcium is located in the skeleton and the remaining one percent is distributed throughout the extracellular and intracellular fluids. When there are bone or shell problems, calcium is the nutrient that is mostly considered, although in actual fact many hormones and minerals can influence bone and shell quality. [...]
Eggshells are waste materials from hatcheries, homes and fast food industries and can be readily collected in plenty. Eggshell waste disposal contributes to environmental pollution. Challenges associated with disposal of eggshells include cost, availability of disposal sites, odour, flies and abrasiveness. However, they can be processed into saleable products like fertilizer, used in artwork, human and animal nutrition and building [...]
