Muntik na nasunog ang landlady ko kanina. Buti na lang nakita ko na mataas na yung apoy nung pinapausok nyang kung ano-anong dahon para daw sa sumasakit nyang likod. Kasi kahapon pa sya nagrereklamo na masakit ang likod nya. Kanina nga paglabas ko, inabutan ko na nagpapa-usok sya ng sarili nya. May burner sya sa harap nya na may uling, tapos may nilalagay syang mga bato at mga dahon. E nung patapos na sya, binuhos nya yung isang bag nung tuyong dahon. Syempre andaming usok nun. At ang kasunod ng usok---apoy! Aba, muntik ko na magamit ang fire extinguisher nyang bago sa kanya mismo!

My Seminar
Taken moments before my seminar last Saturday. They looked interested during the seminar but I can't tell if they are faking it.

Mini Elisa
First time ko gumamit ng Immunocomb Kit for chicken. Nakakabano!
I'm familiar with the Immunocomb Kit for dogs but the method of getting blood sample is different. In dogs, sagana ang dugo. In DOC's (day old chicks) a lancet is used to puncture its wing vein and instead of using a hematocrit tube to draw blood, a paper disk is used to collect whole blood.
Processing is relatively fast and it's also cheaper than conventional methods. Tumagal lang dun well kung saan kelangang hintaying mag-disintegrate ang blood from the paper discs. One hour yun. The rest was just 10-2-10-2-2-10-2! Wala pang forty minutes. Sa isang diagnostic lab na walang backlog ay halos dalawa o tatlong araw na yan.
Kung sa pagkain may fastfood, sa diagnostics meron ding test kits. Malaki ang tulong nito sa
-Pag-gawa ng vaccination program sa manok.
-Pag-aalam kung merong sakit o tama ang manok, clinical man o hindi.
-Pag check kung wa epek o may epek ang bakuna.

Blood collection is done via a wing vein.
Blood collection.
Placing paper discs on the wells.
Processing....
Paper discs. Used in getting whole blood sample directly from the birds.
The funny controls. One is the positive control and the other is the negative control. Does a negative control contain anything? Should it be supplied as part of the package? Or a drop of plain water will do?
The comb after it was developed. It's now ready for reading and interpretation. There are three tests per tooth (one tooth one sample): IBD, ND and IB.

Nothing
On my mind are a lot of things but I couldn't put them into words. Right now, I'm making my presentation for my seminar this coming Saturday. I wish that I could fill in the 3 hours allotted to me.
On another topic, the news about Gloria's conversation with Garci depresses me and makes me think that whatever we (young people) plan to do, if it's within the Philippines, it would amount to nothing. Is it the destiny of our Philippines to be 3rd world forever?

Panunumpa
Our cooperative has a very long and detailed Panunumpa ng Kasapian which I find so outlandish. I don't know who wrote this or whether it's being used by other cooperatives in the Philippines. Here it goes:
I pledge to do my part as good member-patron and assume the responsibility in the cooperative association that has been voluntarily established to serve my community.
I will
Be loyal, and consider myself a part of and not apart from my cooperative association.
Recognize the financial needs if the association and as a good member-patron willingly furnish my share of the required capital.
Support the cooperative association with my patronage, to the fullest extent possible, and encourage others to do likewise.
Help establish and vote for policies for the association which will be fair for all.
Vote for and urge the election of directors, including older, experienced and younger members, who are capable, progressive and willing to give close attention to the affairs of the cooperative.
Carefully read and study the articles of incorporation and by-laws and sincerely try to comply with the provisions in these guidelines and with policies adopted by the board of directors.
Seek full information about the association and study the problems so that I can ask for advice and vote intelligently, and adopt up-to-date and effective methods and procedures.
Do independent and careful thinking and express my honest opinion, but be open-minded and be a team worker.
Curb emotions and apply reason and common sense to all association affairs.
Remember that membership in the association carries with it the obligation to abide by the decision of the majority even when I am in the minority.
Pay cash, if possible, for all goods and services obtained from the association and in any event pay my accounts promptly in accordance with the established credit policy.
Be prompt and attentive at all association meetings and prevent loss of time.
Participate actively in meetings of the association, but take only a reasonable and proportionate share of the time for discussion so that the other members may also have an opportunity to express their views.
I will not
Consider my cooperative as just another place to buy and sell.
Expect privileges from the association that are not available to the other members.
Insist that my ideas shall always prevail.
Approve the employment of close relatives of directors and executives in the association.
Unfairly criticize the directors, the management and other employees or members of the association.
Carry grudges against members, patrons, directors, the management or employees.

Blockmate
Joseph dela Cruz. Taken outside the lecture hall. Dim ang lighting kaya ganyan. Di pala, dark lang ang subject. He he.
Resistensya
Ang resistensya ng manok ay may dalawang kategorya:
1. Non-specific immune mechanisms: Eto yung mga natural na kasama ng manok sa kanyang pagkamanok (as in pagkatao). Simula nung mapisa ang itlog nya meron na sya nito.
-Genetic: Halimbawa merong manok na likas na resistant sa lymphoid leucosis.
-Init ng katawan: mas mainit ang normal temperature ng mga manok at iba pang ibon kaya di nabubuhay sa kanila ang ibag bacteria na nabubuhay sa ibang mammals.
-Mga bahagi ng katawan: Eto naman yung proteksyong dulot ng balat at ng mga mucus secretions ng katawan.
-Mga likas na mikrobyo: Mga good bacteria naman ito na tumutulong mag-exclude ng bad bacteria. Meaning, di nila hinahayaang kumapit ang masamang bacteria, instead na bad bacteria ang kumapit, sila na lang. Kaya dapat judicious ang pag-gamit ng antibiotic.
-Cilia ng daanan ng hangin: Mahirap ipaintindi ito sa ordinaryong magmamanok. Pero malaki nga ang epekto sa manok sa sandaling masira ang mga cilia nya sa daanan ng hangin. Makikita ang mga cilia sa tubo ng hangin mula sa ilong papuntang baga. Madaling silang masira pag mataas ang concentration ng ammonia sa titahan ng manok. Madali itong obserbahan, amuyin mo lang alam na. Kadalasan nangyayari ang accumulation ng ammonia sa mga mabababang building (mas mababa sa anim na talampakan ang taas). Kaya dapat bago magpatayo ng building, kumunsulta muna sa beterinaryo. Mataas din ang concentration ng ammonia sa basing ipot.
-Iba pa
i.Pakain: Immunosuppressive ang pakaing may toxins na galing sa amag. Kaya dapat nasusuring maigi ang mga hilaw na sangkap na ginagamit sa paggawa ng pakain ng kahit anomang hayop.
ii.Kapaligiran: Ang sobrang init o lamig ay nakakaapekto ng malaki sa resistensya ng manok. Ang ibat-ibang edad ng hayop ay may kanya-kanyang optimum temperature. Halimbawa: ang biik at sisiw ay nangangailangan ng init. Pero ang malaki at may edad na na baboy o manok ay nanganagilangan ng lamig. Para mas madaling intindihin, isispin mo na lang na habang lumalaki ang baboy o manok ay nagkakaroon sya ng jacket na di nahuhubad, kaya pagdating nya sa panahong buo na ang jacket ay di nya kakayanin ang init na kaya nating mga tao.
iii.Edad: Ang mga batang manok at matandang manok ay mas sakitin. Parang tao rin. Mas magandang maging pediatrician o geriatrician kasi mas maraming kliyente!

Formalin
Formalin in vapor form is a good disinfectant. As a matter of fact, it's being used in isolation rooms of some human hospitals that I've been to.
Here are the materials needed to come up with formalin gas:
-16 liters formalin
-8 kg potassium permanganate
-8 liters water
For poultry houses, it's used as final disinfectant. Final means that the house has already been cleaned of debris and fecal materials and has been disinfected once using a quaternary ammonium compound disinfectant or any other commercial disinfectant.
To generate vapor, place the pottassium permanganate powder on a can. Add the formalin and water and then run!
The quantities enumerated above can be used to fumigate a building for 3,000 heads broiler.

PMWS
PMWS is a newly emerged disease of pigs. Ang nakakaasar mahirap syang i-diagnose kasi ang signs e halos kapareho rin ng swine fever at PRV at iba pang mga sakit na baboy na dulot ng virus at bakteria.
Today I attended a seminar about PMWS and Mycotoxins in Makati. I was so surprised to see Dr. Joseph there. He's now involved with Nuevo Milenio Inc. the local distributor of Impextraco. These companies are the sponsors together with DLSU-Araneta.
As usual Dr. Jonelle was there with her boss. In every event that they attend they make it a point to ask the most number of questions be it essential or not.
Dr. Baby from Limcoma was also there.

1st Day Funk
Sana kung student pa ko. E hindi na e. Kaya pumunta kami ngayon sa Calatagan to visit one of our projects there. Sa Lucsuhin yung farm. Puro sa pamilyang Zobel nga pala dati yung Calatagan. May Zobel Elementary School at Zobel Plaza dun lang sa Lucsuhin. Di ko pa masyadong nai-explore ang bayan. Baka pati dun puro Zobel din.
Isang magandang place na puntahan sa Calatagan e yung port. Maganda ang dagat dun at maraming murang kalakal. Malapit din dun yung pinaglibingan sa nalaglag sa kabayong Zobel na naging paraplegic. Maganda yung site, parang next to heaven. Serene at kita lahat ng activities sa port area kung andun ka sa lighthouse. Malapit sa lighthouse yung libingan which is opposite nung port.
Anyway, nasa 1.2, 1.0 at 0.8 ang average weights nung binisita naming broiler na 27 days ngayon. Malayo sa ideal weight pero pwede na rin. Considering na mukhang merong subclinical IBD ang flock. Tinatanong nga nung may-ari kung ano pwedeng gamot sa IBD. Sabi ko, "I-imbentohin ko pa po!". At least magalang, may po.
Nakaka-asar isipin kung saan nagsimula noong unang sumulpot ang sakit na IBD. Dahil kaya ito sa intensive farming? Dahil sa mataas na population density? O dahil kay lord?
Bukas, iikutan ko ulit yung mga kaya kong ikutan na manukan. Ipi-pray over ko sila para gumanda ang FCR.
Buong hapon naman ay umattend lang ako ng management meeting ng ManCom (Management Committee) ng koop. Ang haba. Di ko na napatapos. Pero maganda rin na mahaba dahil naaayos ang ugnayan ng mga supervisor ng koop. Buti na lang may openness ang bawat isa, ito ang maganda dito. Kaya kung may mga issues na lumalabas ay nare-resolve agad. Ang wish ko, sana mapa-iksi pa ang meeting para mas maraming magawang trabaho.
