The scrapie program update document summarizes scrapie surveillance data from fiscal year 2013 and provides updates on the scrapie program. Key points include:
- The percentage of culled sheep that tested positive for scrapie at slaughter facilities decreased 90% since 2003 and was 0.0146% in 2013.
- A new platform was implemented for the National Scrapie Database in December 2013, so only limited surveillance data is currently available from fiscal year 2013.
- The scrapie flock certification program was revised in June 2013 to eliminate the complete monitored category and provide farmers with new options for participation.

NDWC Chennai 2013 - Evaluating ABC - Dr Elly Hiby and Lex HibyDogs Trust
This document discusses evaluating animal birth control (ABC) programs by measuring indicators over time. It recommends measuring animal welfare through body condition, skin health, lactating females, disease rates and population size. For communities, measure satisfaction by tracking complaints and attitudes. For human health, track dog bites and rabies cases. Methods include official records, surveys, and dog population counts using mark-resight techniques combining clinic databases with smartphone apps. The goal is to evaluate programs, learn lessons, and improve outcomes for animals and people.

This document discusses the use of health data and information at the district level in India. It outlines several key reasons for using data, including understanding disease burden, epidemiology, and health service delivery. The document describes various sources of data, including external surveys, routine monitoring systems, and commissioned studies. It discusses strengths and limitations of different data sources and indicators used in district analysis. The document also covers issues around data quality, interpretation, false reporting, and how health management information systems can be used for district planning.
This document discusses using genetics to improve flock health and productivity in sheep. It notes that genetics has advantages over traditional approaches like management changes in providing permanent and cumulative improvements. Traits like disease resistance have a genetic component and selecting for improved resistance can benefit flocks. Specific diseases and traits discussed include internal parasites, footrot, mastitis, ovine progressive pneumonia, scrapie, and lambing ease. The document also covers using crossbreeding to take advantage of hybrid vigor and breed complementarity.
Scrapie is a neurodegenerative disease of sheep and goats caused by prions, which are abnormal infectious protein particles that replicate by converting normal cellular proteins into copies of themselves. It is transmitted both genetically and through contact with infected animals or contaminated environments. Affected animals may exhibit tremors, high-stepping gait, and compulsive scratching and wool-pulling. There is no treatment for scrapie. Control methods include keeping sheep and goat flocks separate, avoiding mixing of breeds, using scrapie-resistant breeds, and culling infected animals. Diagnosis is made through clinical signs as well as laboratory detection of prions in the central nervous system.
Prion diseases are rare neurodegenerative disorders caused by misfolded prion proteins. They affect both humans and animals. In cattle it is known as bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) or "mad cow disease", and in humans it is known as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). Prion diseases occur when normal prion proteins misfold and induce other prion proteins to also misfold, triggering a chain reaction that causes damage to neural cells. There is no cure for prion diseases and diagnosis is difficult since prion proteins are similar to normal forms.

Understanding the pig sector for improved ASF control in Georgia—Cross cuttin...ILRI
1) The document summarizes a presentation on understanding the pig sector in Georgia to improve control of African swine fever (ASF). Questionnaires with pig farmers and butchers in the Kakheti region of Georgia found seasonal pig production and marketing patterns and opportunities to improve biosecurity and awareness.
2) Backyard pig production represents almost all pig farming in Georgia, challenging prevention and control. Data gathering identified value chains and risk points to design village-level ASF strategies. Preliminary questionnaire results from Kakheti showed low farmer incomes, seasonal farrowing and sales, and room for improved biosecurity and awareness.
3) Butchers also showed opportunities like reducing holding times for purchased pigs and improving knowledge

Malaria Intervention Assessment in Four States of Nigeria: An Innovative, Co...MEASURE Evaluation
This document summarizes the results of a mixed-methods assessment of malaria implementation in four states of Nigeria between 2008-2016. The assessment evaluated trends in malaria prevention, treatment, and data quality indicators using household surveys, health facility data, and interviews. Key results showed that coverage of malaria interventions increased over time but remained below targets. Availability of commodities and data quality improved more in PMI-supported facilities compared to non-PMI facilities. Quality of malaria case management was generally good across states and higher in PMI facilities, while quality of malaria in pregnancy care varied between states.

Long-term no-till research can provide valuable insights into crop production over many seasons. This research found that no-till soils generally had higher yields than tilled soils over time. No-till soils had cooler temperatures, held more water after rain, and had different soil biological properties and nutrient stratification compared to tilled soils. The impacts of no-till and fertilizer nitrogen on soil organic carbon and crop yields changed over the 50 years of the study.

low birth weight presentation. Low birth weight (LBW) infant is defined as the one whose birth weight is less than 2500g irrespective of their gestational age. Premature birth and low birth weight(LBW) is still a serious problem in newborn. Causing high morbidity and mortality rate worldwide. The nursing care provide to low birth weight babies is crucial in promoting their overall health and development. Through careful assessment, diagnosis,, planning, and evaluation plays a vital role in ensuring these vulnerable infants receive the specialize care they need. In India every third of the infant weight less than 2500g.
Birth period, socioeconomical status, nutritional and intrauterine environment are the factors influencing low birth weight

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.
Are you looking for a long-lasting solution to your missing tooth?
Dental implants are the most common type of method for replacing the missing tooth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed in the jawbone. In layman’s terms, a dental implant is similar to the natural root of the tooth. It offers a stable foundation for the artificial tooth giving it the look, feel, and function similar to the natural tooth.

2. Program Summary
• As of the end of fiscal year (FY) 2013, the percent of cull
sheep found positive at slaughter and adjusted for face
color was 0.0146 percent. This measure of prevalence
has decreased by 90 percent since slaughter
surveillance started in FY 2003.
• There was an increase in this measure in FY 2013;
however, the change was not statistically meaningful due
to sample size.
2
3. Program Summary
• In December, 2013, the National Scrapie Database was
transferred into a new platform. We are currently
formatting the reports for surveillance data. Therefore,
we can only report certain surveillance data through FY
2013.
• We anticipate the reports will be completed in April,
2014.

20. The Complete Monitored category has been eliminated
– Complete category participants who wish to stay in the
program have 2 options
• Join revised Select category
– No inspections
– Submit specified number of animals for scrapie testing
• Join the Export category and grandfather in with up to 5
years time in status
– Must submit all mature found dead animals
– If the flock held “Certified” status in the previous program,
APHIS will continue to publish its “Certified” status on our
website, in addition to its “Export Monitored” status, for 3
years following the start of the revised program or until it
achieves “Export Certified” status, whichever occurs first

25. FY 2014 Dockets
Proposed rule to revise 9 CFR Parts 54 and 79
• Goal is to publish in FY 2014 – pending OMB review
• Major items
– Gives the Administrator authority to relieve requirements for
sheep and goats exposed to scrapie types, such as Nor98-like,
that do not pose a significant risk of transmission
– Increases flexibility in how investigations can be conducted and
allows the epidemiology in a specific flock to be given more
consideration in determining flock and animal status
– Adds a genetic-based approach to the regulation
– Makes goat ID requirements similar to sheep to facilitate
slaughter surveillance in goats; no changes are planned in the
consistent State requirements regarding identification of goats in
intrastate commerce
25
26. FY 2014 Dockets
Proposed rule to revise 9 CFR Parts 54 and 79
• Major items (continued)
– Requires States to meet surveillance goals to remain consistent
States
– Tightens up the definition of slaughter channels
– Expands individual ID requirement to all sexually intact animals
unless moving as a group lot (allows mixed-source groups
moving in slaughter channels under 18 months)
– Limits use of tattoos and implants to animals not moving through
concentration points for sale and not in slaughter channels
– Establishes recordkeeping requirements similar to current UM&R
compliance guidance
26
27. FY 2014 Dockets
Import Sheep and Goats
APHIS is drafting a proposed rule for the import
of sheep and goats, their embryos, and products,
to mitigate risks from scrapie and BSE, which will
move the U.S. into closer alignment with OIE
guidelines.
27
28. FY 2014 Dockets
Import Sheep and Goats
Current thinking—scrapie mitigations
– Breeding animals—use OIE standards (i.e., free
country or free flock); may allow genetically resistant
sheep and genetically less susceptible rams until US
reaches near 0 prevalence
– Slaughter and feeding for slaughter—use requirements
similar to OIE, including requiring an awareness,
surveillance and control program, and post entry
movement controls to ensure slaughter (similar to the
current requirements for Canadian sheep/goats)
28
29. FY 2014 Dockets
Import Sheep and Goats
Current thinking—scrapie mitigations
– Embryos—similar to OIE standards with additional
donor testing requirements
– Products – no scrapie restrictions
29
30. FY 2014 Dockets
Import Sheep and Goats
Current thinking—BSE mitigations
– Apply prohibitions on processed animal proteins such as
meat-and-bone meal and greaves derived from
ruminants (including that from sheep and goats) from
countries that are undetermined or controlled risk for
BSE, as provided in the BSE comprehensive rule
– Apply same standards to tallow derived from
sheep/goats as is applied to tallow derived from cattle
– Relieve restrictions on other products

31. NAHMS Sheep Studies
• 3rd national sheep study – 1996, 2001, 2011
• NAHMS studies are developed with the purpose
of providing comprehensive U.S. animal health
information
– related to disease prevention and control, animal
welfare, production, product wholesomeness,
environmental considerations, and economic
consequences
