The aim of present paper is quality evaluation of wells water from some operational sites located in Teleorman County. Were taken well water samples from 5 localities situated along Vedea river. Those samples were analyzed for determine nitrate, nitrite, inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus. The samples were taken in two seasons, spring and autumn. We observed that the well water from analyzed areal are vulnerable of pollution with nitrites came from agriculture and husbandry actions and from some surface aquiferes can appear the eutrophication problem. The presence of different forms of nitrites in well water is a major problem for a human health, for children under 6 months old, esspecially.

Surgeries on rabbits are more and more frequently as they are used as pet animals and the owner is interested in their welfare. Cataract surgery is already a routine intervention in small animals as dogs and cats. This is why the aim of this study is to present a case study of a rabbit anesthesia for cataract surgery. Our subject was a three year old female laboratory rabbit which weight 2.07 kg. We premedicated him using butorphanol 0.4 mg/kg and midazolam 1 mg/kg subcutaneous 30 minutes before induction. To prevent sever bradicardia,we administered glycopyrrolate 0.01 mg/kg. Induction was realized using ketamine 10% and midazolam 0.5% mixed in the same volume and administered at a dose of 2 ml/kg. After induction the rabbit was intubated using blind technique and isoflurane was administered by the endotracheal tube. The rabbit was perfused at a rate of 20 ml/kg/h with Hartman solution, colloids and glucose all along anesthesia. To minimize the risk of cataract surgery we administered cisatracurium at a dose of 0,05 mg/kg as multiple boluses. Neuromuscular blockade was assessed using a standard peripheral nerve stimulator. Postoperative we administered enrofloxacine 5 mg/kg, meloxicam 0.2 mg/kg for postoperative analgesia and metoclopramide 0.5 mg/kg for digestive stimulation. Even if there is no dose given in literature for cisatracurium in rabbits, we concluded that it can be used with great success and with no incidence at a dose used for dogs and cats.

The paper presents research on sperm quality and affecting factors in male of North American sturgeon species Polyodon spathula recently acclimated in Romania. Quality assessment was performed by microscopic and macroscopic analysis of sperm from a total of 5 males used in artificial spawning experiments in 2012. Microscopic analysis was to determine the concentration of sperm by haemocytometer method, sperm shaped and size determination using electronic microscopy and identification of specific staining, motility determination using dark field microscopy, testing the viability of sperm after sperm activation. Sperm quality parameters were interpreted by correlation with following factors: hormonal stimulation, the spawning season, temperature, extenders properties, short or long term storage of sperm, the biology of spawning (age, weight, length), health and wellness condition.

From the research of the herbicides used worldwide it is ascertained that in most of the cases mixes of products are used to obtain a wide action range. Usually mixes of herbicides and complementary action are used, thus obtaining products having a wide action range which enables their use in various fields. The use of the herbicide mixes has important technical and economic benefits: the number of crops treatments are significantly diminished, therefore of the equipment, manpower, thus obtaining important diminishment of the energy consumption.

Organic livestock has grown in Romania in recent years, especially after 2000, because animal breeding in organic farming system represent a niche activity for farmers. The purpose of this paper was to make a radiograph at national level as regards the sheep breeding in organic farming system. The share of organic production within total production varies according to the different animal sectors. The statistic data showed that cattle and sheep are the most popular species reared using organic production methods. The highest share is found in the sheep sector due to lower difficulties to convert to organic production. Indeed the productive system of sheep farming in the hill and mountainous areas of Romania is considered to be very close to that of organic sheep farming and this fact, gives a competitive advantage to the Romanian sheep farmers. Organic sheep breeding in Romania is based on native breeds, which are well adapted to their life environment. Most of these organic sheep farms are situated in the hill and mountains areas, places where the prevalent breed is Tsurcana. The sheep livestock farmed organically in 2010 was 58,372 heads and in present 0.70% from the sheep livestock are reared organically. Sheep breeding into organic farming system has a strong growing tendency in our country in the future and this is confirmed by the fact that in 2011 the number of sheep and goats farmed organically reached to 168,593 heads.

In the Romanian village the artisanal crafts were always a cultural-artistic and economic activity, which material and spiritual filled in the rural community. The existence of textile raw materials and some of other sources in the sericultural (family) microfarm requires only a correct stimulation of the crafts in the direction of activity development on the basis of economic and aesthetic orientation, of what specialists call Romanian “ethnodesign”. The paper aims to present the organization of a craft manufactory for processing the unreeling silk cocoons from wastes of the technological process in the obtaining the reproduction biologic material, Bombyx mori L. Species. Such a technological model has been omologated and it works in the sericultural microfarm of Niculescu family from Stoenesti– Valcea. Its completion assumed the selection of some ways of processing the textile raw materials into fabrics and handicraft objects under conditions of simple technologies, as well as the documentary study on a minimum machinery inventory for a textile manufactory, structural, technological and economic adapted and integrated in the management of the reproduction sericultural microfarm. The activities carried out in the frame of craft manufactory are based on textile techniques and technologies of processing, dyeing, weaving, wickerwork, sewing, node making and finishing the raw materials from wastes and the sericultural by-products. By processing the textile material in the craft manufactory, the researchers have established a flow based on two technologies and six techniques of treatment, by which three types of yarns were obtained (by hand-made reeling) with 15 chromatic variants. By using the obtained yarns three prototypes of “basse-lisse” weavings have been created (thin fabrics type designed for spring-summer garments). Following the applicative researches carried out in the laboratories of National University of Arts Bucharest, for the craft manufactory two technologies and six techniques of textile material processing have been selected. Four types of yarn (by hand-made reeling) in 24 chromatic variants have been achieved. There have been elaborated the technological processes of three weaving prototypes, “basse-lisse” texture having the technical parameters in the category of thin abrics designed for spring-summer garments.

The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate robust regression models for predicting the carcass composition of lambs. One hundred and twenty lambs (34 females and 86 males) were slaughtered and their carcasses were cooled for 24 hours. The subcutaneous fat thickness (C12) was measured between the 12th and 13th rib, and the left side of carcasses was dissected and the proportions of lean meat (LMP) was calculated. A multiple regression model was fitted using robust regression (RR) methods, and the results were compared to ordinary least squares (OLS) estimates. For RR methods, the Bisquare and Welsch weighting functions were used, and model fitting quality was evaluated by the following statistics: the root mean square error (RMSE), the median absolute deviation (MAD), the mean absolute error (MAE), and the coefficient of determination (R2). The parameters obtained by RR presented lower standard error for C12 measurement (decreases by 12% when compared with OLS estimates). The RR methods or weighted least squares methods represents a good alternative to OLS approach for modelling the LMP of lambs carcass. In this study, the Bisquare weighting method presented the best results, however other weighting functions are available and should be tested and compared in the near future.

Among all animal meats pork is the filthiest diet to consume by human beings. Pig is the cradle of harmful germs. Scientific evidences prove that pig meat is least healthy having different harmful agents like Cholesterol and Fatty Acids, Bacteria and Toxins and a number of parasites. The pig meat is high in fat and cholesterol that causes the cardiovascular diseases, obesity, the incidence of large intestine cancer. Bacteria and Toxins associated with pigs spread many diseases like salmonellosis, which leads to the acute gastroenteritis and diarrhea. Many other diseases like, Tuberculosis, Yersiniosis, Listeriosis, Leptospirosis, Brucellosis, Small Pox, Influenza, Anthrax, Balantidial dysentery, Foot rot, Cholera and Erysipeloid are attributed to pork consumption. Parasitic Diseases Ascaris, Ancylostomiasis, Toxoplasmosis, Trichinellosis, Cysticercosis showing signs of mental disorders, pneumonia, bleeding of the lungs (haemoptysis), which may lead to death or madness. The patient may become blind and deaf. Nitrates used in pork and pork products as additives are converted into nitrosamines which cause hepatic cell tumors. Flesh of the pork is hard to digest and may lead to chronic digestive disturbances. Pimples, boils, cysts are common in pork eaters. The pig excretory system secretes 2 percent of its uric acid that is injurious for the human health. Pork consumption seriously affects human health and adversely injurious one’s moral values. A person gets pig like characteristics by eating pork, Indecency, obscenity and vanished honour of women.

We analyzed the situation of livestock in private households in the Republic Moldova. These households have the largest herd of livestock in the country and produce more than two-thirds of overall livestock products. Animal productivity and economic efficiency are at low level. We propose measures to modernize and intensify the livestock sector which will ensure increased productivity of animals, quality and competitiveness of products of animal origin.
