A retrospective study was conducted from November, 2016 to April, 2017 in Saesie Tsaeda-Emba District, Eastern Tigray, Ethiopia with objectives of prevalence of dystocia occurrence and its associated risk factors in Saesie Tsaeda-Emba District. In the present study, 60 dairy cows were examined for determining of dystocia. Out of the 60 dairy cows examined, 38(63.3%) dairy cows were found to have dystocia. Out of the 38 dairy cows found problems with dystocia, 4(10.5%) were local, 23(60.5%) were cross and 11(28.9%) were exotic breed of cows. This result showed dystocia was higher in cross breed of cows when compared with local and exotic breed of dairy cows. 8(21%) of the dairy cows with dystocia were in natural mated, 28(73.7%) were in artificial inseminated and the rest 2(5.3%) were in both natural mated and artificial inseminated. This result indicated dystocia was higher in dairy cows with artificial inseminated 28(73.7%) when compared to natural mated 8(21%). 30(78.9%) of the dairy cows with dystocia were in first calving and 8(21%) were in second calving. This result revealed dystocia was higher in dairy cows with first calving. 20(52.6%) of the dairy cows found to have dystocia were delivered male claves whereas 18(47.4%) were female calves. This result showed dystocia with male calves were higher when compared dystocia with female claves. 9(15%) of the dystocia were caused by fetal, 16(26.7%) of the dystocia were caused by maternal, 13(21.7%) were caused by others and 22(36.7%) were unknown their causes. This result revealed dystocia was more caused by maternal problems when compared to fetal and other problems. Awareness creation to farm owners, attendants and improved management such as, proper feeding, accurate heat detection, considering the size of sir and dam while using artificial insemination, and health management should be improved to minimize the occurrence of dystocia and associated economic losses in the dairy farms of the area.

After humans, orcas ( Orcinus orcas ) are the most widely distributed mammals on Earth. 1 They are incredibly effective predators, commonly referred to as ‘wolves of the sea.’ 2 Although they are frequently dubbed killer whales, they are actually the largest member of the oceanic dolphin family ( Delphinidae ). 3 Given that they are well–adapted to any climate, they can be found in numerous aquatic locations 4 including the Antarctic and Arctic regions as well as in tropical areas. 5 They are unrivaled oceanic apex predators, possessing a number of qualities that suggest considerable intelligence. 6 Following the sperm whale, orcas have the second largest brain of all oceanic mammals. 7 Moreover, their highly evolved communication manners, usage of echolocation and compelling sleep patterns all attest to the impressiveness of this group of marine mammals. However, they need to be recognized and accepted as outstanding social creatures that can coexist with humans.

In recent decades, several eco–lodges have been established in biodiversity rich areas of Ethiopia. For example, plenty of eco–lodges were built in Amhara, Oromia and Southern Nation, Nationalities and People’s National Regional States. Most eco–lodges are primarily established and managed to provide visiting tourists with various facilities, such as bed rooms, restaurants, transport services (e.g. boats, horses, and mules), camping sites, natural picnic areas and guiding service to trek on foot and ride on horse/mule backs.1 In return, eco–lodge owners charge the tourists and collect revenue for the facilities they have rendered. The federal and the respective regional governments also earn money by collecting taxes from the owners of the eco–lodges. In addition, eco–lodges create job opportunities to the local people because the eco–lodge owners hire both permanent and temporary workers. Local people can also earn money by providing guiding services or selling souvenirs to the arriving tourists.2 Most of the times, as eco–lodges are built from environmentally friendly, economically feasible and socially acceptable local materials, we argue that eco–lodges contribute to the conservation of the local biodiversity.3–6 As biodiversity is one of the top most attractions to tourists, eco–lodges conserve the local biodiversity from human and livestock induced disturbances. For example, when natural plants existing in the compounds of eco–lodges are reasonably protected from illegal human– and livestock–induced encroachments, they attract plenty of wild mammal and bird species from the adjacent open fields. This is because they provide the incoming wild mammal and bird species with quality food,7,8 suitable cover from environmental extremes,9 breeding sites10 and concealment from risk of predation.11 Therefore, to maintain the long term survival of our natural ecosystems, eco–lodges play a central role in local biodiversity conservation.2–6 We also illustrated how eco–lodges are linked with biodiversity conservation and socioeconomic development in Figure 1.

Natural selection favors individuals that choose resources that enhance breeding success, which maintains the population but limited availability of such resources can limit the number of individuals that breed. In a given species, nest site quality varies in space and time at different scales due to different environmental factors affecting reproductive success.4 Other environmental factors, besides nest site characteristics, which can have a strong influence on reproductive success is food availability.

Kadaknath is a famous Indian poultry breed and pride of Madhya Pradesh. It is also known as “Kala Masi” because of the black color meat, skin, tongue, beak, legs and intestines. So it requires a continuous research to add scientific inputs. Digestive system is vital which needs to be explored starting from its basic structural peculiarities and as there is paucity of literature pertaining to the micrometrical studies of gizzard of Kadaknath breed of fowl. Therefore, this study was embarked to act as base line data for this breed for further research.

Traditional medicine practitioners typically use ecosystem resources for the treatment of several types of diseases. Plants and animals have been widely employed to these effects. For instance, authors have variously reported that medicinal plants as plant whose different parts (leaves, fruits, flower, roots, stem etc) have pharmacological properties.3–9 In addition, several parts of animals are used for the treatment of some disease conditions. The use of plants and animals parts for managing diseases has the tendency to reduce the dependency on modern medicine for certain disease conditions. According to Djagoun et al.,10 the use of animals with therapeutic potentials has socioeconomic and cultural importance and could lead to reduction in number of populace that patronizes modern medicine.

Birds are sensitive indicators of pollutions in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.1 They are among the best monitors of environmental changes.2 In ecology, they are of tremendous importance because of their key roles as pollinators and agents of seed dispersal.3 Habitats also change seasonally and over a period of years as successional change proceeds in a plant community. The geographic location of different habitats shifts as the climate changes.4

Poultry production in Argentina has grown during last years because of an increase in consumption of poultry and poultry products. Chicken consumption increased from 20 kg/person/year in 2000 to 44 kg for the last years.1 Due to the increase in demand of animal protein in population’s diet, important investments were implemented in the poultry sector by means of technological improvements, genetics, animal welfare, health and nutrition, which in turn contributed to the development and intensification of this activity. For this reason, activities related to poultry production are betting to include new technologies, extreme quality and sanitary controls. An example of this is the control of residues and contaminants that exceed those values allowed in the meat made by national inspection bodies in order to take care on behalf of consumer health, to punish the noncompliance of current regulations and to maintain a free market to export products produced in Argentina.
