...Executive Summary The company- Optical Distortion, Inc. * In 1966, Robert D. Garrison(designer of the first non-human lenses), Robert Olson(a farmer from Oregon) and James Arnold(a business-man) established the Optical Distortion, Inc. * In 1968, the problem of retention in chickens eyes is solved, and in December, 1969, a U.S. patent for the lenses was issued * In 1973, Daniel Garrison(Robert’s son) obtained a long-term license from New Plastic World for the exclusive use in non-human application * At the same time Daniel Garrison bought 25% of the ODI stocks and was elected president and chief executive. Ronald Olson became vice-president of marketing Poultry Industry In the beginning, poultry and egg production was done in the family background. In the 1930’s, in order to improve the efficiency of production, farmers decided to use henhouses. In the 1950’s, there was a bigger concentration of the poultry industry with the use of cages. In 1974, there were 2.5 million of birds in U.S.A. California, North Carolina and Georgia accounted for 25% of the nation’s chickens, while 9 additional states accounted for an additional 36% of the chicken population. There were basically 3 sizes of firms: 1. Small Firms(lower than 10,000 birds)- Usually family operated. The birds would be housed in henhouses. The number of such farms has been declining at the rate of 25% per year 2. Medium Firms(10,000-50,000 birds)- These firms are professionally operated farm of...

...Farm factory This documentary awakens many feelings inside me. I am so concerned about this fact and to have learned and saw how it actually happens, I think that more than one could be saddened about it. Animals feed us, in fact it is their fundamental goal, the reason they are created. I believe we should be thankful and deliver some respect. They are inferior beings but they should not be cruelty treated. They do not have our rationality and cannot defend themselves against us. Besides the fact that they give their meat and derivatives from it, we humans abuse their generosity. They also have the right to live and die decently. I am not voting for becoming vegetarians all the way, but to change the industry for farm animals. Laws should be created in order to follow a certain procedure with a higher quality standard of living for these animals in the factory. Also, to support these farms caring for the lives of animals. In the documentary, we clearly can see that they have feelings and they also can feel the pain and desperation to learn that they are going to be killed. It also hurts us, those that care about them. I am extremely concerned about this issue, it makes me not eat meat anymore but that is not the point. In fact, I have always cared much about animals, sometimes even more than caring about a person. The way I see it’s that animals cannot defend themselves, and somehow humans have the ability to do that, to speak out, but animals do not. I have saved lives of...

...Hatched a Chiken Egg in an Incubator Can you remember the last time you were passionate to learn something new? Neither can I. But we have all been passionate to learn at some point in our childhood. To kids the world seems like a magical place, full of mysteries waiting to be discovered. I’m sure all of us can recall some pleasant memories experiencing with science as a child. In this essay I’m going to talk to you about an experiment I did in my childhood with an incubator. It was a joyful experience for me. The first important thing I needed to do in order to hatch chicken eggs was to find an incubator. That was the easy part since I could borrow one from my school. It wasn’t actually an incubator. it was a device that students in 5th grade had to make, and it worked like an incubator with a few differences. The device could only be used to maintain the temperature needed for the experiment. The rest I had to do by hand. It was plugged into electricity 24 hours a day, and it had a lamp inside it to make the area warm and light. Finding the incubator was pretty easy. Using it was a little harder. I had to find the right eggs, if I wanted to hatch them and turn them into chickens eventually. First I had to make sure they weren’t stored for more than 7 days. Old eggs weren’t going to turn into chickens. And I also had to make sure that they were stored in a cool humid area, and were not damaged, and didn’t have any holes or cracks. Size of the eggs was important...

...Europe due to its unique packaging. It is another egg containing a surprise - and therefore a member of the Kinder Sorpresa family - but it is decidedly more technological. It is made up of two plastic valves, half of which contains the food which you eat with the spoon provided while the other half contains the surprise. These two parts are joined and when opened make a noise that children love, a “clack” that heralds the surprise they will find inside. This extremely modern and amusing product was born of highly specific needs which in this case consisted in taking Kinder Sorpresa to those parts of the world where distance and climate might have hampered its distribution (chocolate shell, packaged in an aluminium film cannot be sold in hot and humid countries). Instead, Kinder Joy withstands humidity and high temperatures and is a hyper-protected and hygienic product suitable for emerging markets such as Africa, South America, India, or places where the climate is not conducive to chocolate. Here the packaging is technically highly advanced and the content integrates perfectly with its packaging… Exceptional research was carried out on barrier, multi-layer and thermoformed materials. Our objective was to protect the product totally. You can easily imagine the difference in terms of costs between Kinder joy and the egg wrapped in aluminium. The format is identical but they are worlds apart. The little surprises contained in the eggs have reached an incredible level of sophistication...

...a single hen as a sign of his gratitude for my contribution to his farm. Since then, chicken became my pet and rearing poultry became my hobby. This goal was further motivated by my agriculture lessons in class were I learnt best practices for rearing poultry. As at now, I have over 5000 chicken, more than half are layers and the rest are broilers. Besides chicken, I rear ducks, geese and turkeys, all of which are profitable. Chicken farming has become my livelihood and I do not intend to look for formal jobs. Benefits of keeping poultry on your homestead 1. Egg production If you are a non-vegetarian as I am, then you definitely consume eggs unless they give you some abdominal discomfort. Keeping poultry on your homestead, specifically layers gives you a chance to enjoy eggs without limits. Eggs have numerous healthy benefits in your body because they contain vital mineral elements. I keep White Leghorns for egg production and their yield has never discouraged. 2. Meat production Poultry meat is irresistible. Poultry meat is my favorite and you know what, keeping poultry on the homestead ensures that you enjoy fresh meat, which is free from chemicals additives found in their feeds and antibiotics. Meat poultry matures fast provided you give them the required feeds. To be specific, it takes a broiler two months to be mature...

...Experimental Procedures Larval Studies The larvae were acquired from the Honey Bee Research Center located near the University of Guelph. Prior to obtaining the larvae, two 24-well plates were prepared with 300 µL of royal jelly solution. This mixture contained 43.2 mL of Milli-Q water, 14.4 g of lyophilized royal jelly, 1.8 g of glucose, 1.8 g of fructose and 0.6 g of yeast extract. It was stirred in a suitable sized beaker for approximately sixty minutes. Then it was poured into screw-cap veils once it reached a smooth consistency and stored at 4°C until needed. The grafting process consisted of obtaining a frame from one of the hives with larvae at the Honey Bee Research Center. In order to protect the larvae from environmental factors, the frame was wrapped with a towel before the grafting process ensued. With a small grafting tool, the larvae were individually scooped out of the comb on the frame. The larvae were placed into one of the each wells on the twenty-four well plate to float on the royal jelly solution (Figure 9). This was conducted cautiously to ensure that the larva did not flip over since oxygen intake occurs only on one its sides. Once the twenty-four well place was occupied with larvae, it was placed inside an empty ice box covered with a damp towel to ensure survival of the larvae. Once the plate returned to the lab, it was placed into an incubator. The incubator mimicked temperature conditions within a hive by setting it at 33°C with 85-95% relative...

...few questions before entering the area where the people are living. A culture shock is really hard to prepare for, unless one has studied about it beforehand or else it wouldn’t be a shock at all. Witnessing firsthand my ancestor culture, the Filipino culture, was a big deal when I was a young. Since I was raised in America at the age of two, and learned American culture and language through my schooling, I never associated with my Filipino culture other than through my parents, which even they are much “Americanized.” When my relatives from the Philippines, they seemed like normal people until they cooked food I personally found appalling. My relatives cooked and ate dinuguan and balut. Dinuguan is pig blood stew, and balut is a baby duck egg. I was very shocked they ate this food, which I never heard or eaten. My parents ate it before but have never cooked it and put it on my plate, so it was obviously something I assumed my parents didn’t particularly like eating. I learned my lesson that maybe I should research the Filipino culture before I judge. Just as they were shocked about my “Americanized” attitude, I was shocked with what they ate. I believe understanding other people’s cultures is important so you don’t judge them but help you gain a better perspective on other’s way of...

...Introduction Optical Distortion, Inc. (ODI), is a small, new company that has developed contact lenses designed to impair the vision of egg-producing farm chickens. This development came after an accidental discovery that partially blind chickens demonstrate more manageable and productive behaviors that are valuable to chicken farmers. Market Trends As within many industries, the poultry and egg production market has evolved dramatically in the last century— from small backyard barnyards to today’s high-production farms of more than 2.5 million birds. Due to the varied demands and operations necessitated by this current, broad spectrum of customers (here, chicken farmers), the current market is best understood by segmenting it first by flock size. As shown in Exhibit 4 of the case study, we see the percentage growth (decline) of each flock size segment as it relates to farm size and chicken count from 1964 to 1996. Based on this data, farms with flock sizes less than 10,000 chickens have dramatically reduced in this time period while farms with flock sizes larger than 10,000 have consistently grown in each of the four high-volume segments. Additionally, the market data also demonstrates a significant progression of concentration both regionally as well as in the nation’s number of industry producers. In 1974, 80% of the laying hens in the United States were housed in just 3% of the country’s chicken farms. Regionally speaking, the farms have evolved into concentrations...

...March 2010 PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction When we talk about egg shell, it is one of the things that are not usually having benefits. We usually throw them right away after cooking. Calcium, magnesium, and protein are one of the nutrients we can find in egg shell. In fact, there are many benefits of egg shells aside from using them for art projects. Back in 1905, it was used as a healing for wounds. In the present study, it can also treat skin irritations, skin-tightening facial, less bitter a coffee, and as extract supplements. Instead of buying expensive feed supplement for your chickens, It was found out that the proteins in the egg shell membrane have a high concentration of the amino acids of arginine, glutamic acid, methionine, histidine, cystine and proline. Protein is a good source for growth of the entire body for growing infants, children and teens, along with sufficient calories. Peanuts is also a excellent source of protein. Peanuts are also an excellent source of Vitamin E and magnesium and also have useful amounts of B Vitamins including folate, thiamine and riboflavin. Our study will try to use the egg shells along with the peanuts as a feed supplement for the chickens. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION Conclusion This study entitled “Egg Shells and Peanuts as feed Supplements to the chicks” aims to determine the effects of Egg shells and Peanuts to the weight of the chicks. At the end of the study, we therefore...
