This invention provides a feed additive for preventing prolapse of juvenile Toad (Bufo gargarizans) in artificial breeding and its preparation method. This invention also provides a wet pellet feed for preventing prolapse of juvenile Toad (Bufo gargarizans) in artificial breeding and its preparation method. This invention further provides the use of the above-mentioned feed additive and / or wet pellet feed in preventing prolapse of juvenile Toad (Bufo gargarizans). This invention also provides a method for preventing prolapse of juvenile Toad (Bufo gargarizans). The method for preventing prolapse of juvenile Toad (Bufo gargarizans) in artificial breeding provided by this invention improves the stress resistance, immunity, and antioxidant capacity of juvenile Toads, thereby improving the overall health of juvenile Toads in artificial breeding and effectively preventing prolapse.

An apparatus for cutting open a slaughtered poultry body suspended by the legs and already cut free in the region of the cloaca to form a vent opening includes a supporting apparatus for holding / positioning the poultry body during cutting, a tensioning device with a tensioning means for tensioning abdominal skin of the poultry body, and a separating device having at least one separating knife for making a longitudinal cut in the tensioned abdominal skin between the vent opening the sternum tip. The tensioning means is in the form of a knife carrier, with the separating knife pivotably mounted on the carrier to form a unit. The knife is movable relative to the carrier from a standby position, with the knife completely covered inside the carrier, into a cutting position, with the knife protruding from the carrier, and back. A corresponding method is disclosed.

In some embodiments, the presently disclosed subject matter provides a method of delivering a bioactive composition to ceca of a bird. In some embodiments, the method comprises (a) providing a bioactive composition; (b) delivering a treatment effective amount of the bioactive composition to a cloaca of the bird; and (c) providing stimulation to a vent of the bird; whereby delivery of the bioactive composition to the ceca of the bird is accomplished.

The invention relates to a device (10) configured and adapted to incise a slaughtered poultry body (14) suspended through a plurality of legs (11) and which has already been incised in the region of the cloaca (12) to form an anal opening (13), the device comprising a support device (15) for holding and positioning the poultry body (14) during the incision, a tensioning device (16) having a tensioning mechanism (17) for tensioning the abdominal skin (18) of the poultry body (14), and a separating device (19) having at least one separating knife (20) configured and adapted to make a longitudinal cut (L S , G S ) in the tensioned abdominal skin (18) of the poultry body (14) between the anal opening (13) and the tip (21) of the breastbone (22) of the poultry body (14), said device being distinguished in that the tensioning device (17) is in the form of a knife holder (23) on which the separating knife (20) is pivotably mounted to form a unit (24) with the knife holder (23), wherein the separating knife (20) is configured and adapted to be movable relative to the knife holder (23) from a rest position in which the separating knife (23) is arranged within the knife holder (23) in a completely covered manner to a cutting position in which the separating knife (20) at least partially protrudes from the knife holder (23). The invention also relates to a corresponding method.

A method for the incubation and hatching of surgically derived premature eggs removed in their shell from a bird prior to transfer of the premature egg to the cloaca of the bird, said surgically derived premature eggs being incubated and hatched in a carefully controlled manner over a period of about 21 days in a sterile environment. A number of surgically-derived premature eggs (6) are harvested (30) and incubated during an incubating phase (34) within an incubator (20) in an isolator (10) for about 18 days, carefully controlling the humidity within a range of 15% to 40% relative humidity to achieve a desired rate of egg weight loss. After incubation (34), during a hatching phase (42), the relative humidity within the incubator (20) is increased to 60%-75% relative humidity.
