Organic values

Ethics also includes welfare quality what is good quality of life for an animal Therefore, when evaluating animal welfare issues in organic farming systems, we need to understand if particular organic values can be used to help guide decisions regarding appropriate quantity and quality of animal welfare.

The Ag cryptate experiments have thus illustrated that the distribution properties in mice peaked immediately after injection with % ID/organ values that were approximately equal to literature values for % CO to those organs. In addition, these studies have shown that the activity in the brain was constant from 1-3 minutes at 0.75% ID/g, consistent with rodent cerebral blood flow (10). This implies that Ag+[2.2.2] crosses the blood brain barrier. Also, modeling of the blood clearance curve showed that Ag+[2.2.2] disproportionated in plasma with a rate constant equal to that which would be expected from the k(j for Ag+[2.2.2] in... 

Is animal welfare an issue according to organic values ... 

The third category is possibly in best accordance with organic values. Not only is natural behaviour important, but also food adapted to animal physiology and an environment similar to the biotope natural to the species are considered important. Studies of organic farmers suggest that they understand animal welfare primarily in terms of natural living (Lund ef al. 2002,2004b).

Na2S04 + 2C + 30 - -Na2 S03 + 2C02 This process is quite energy-intensive and involved chemically. A modification of this procedure involves the addition of A1 hydroxide, which desirably eliminates the second step by the formation of H2S directly in the fusion step this process is being seriously studied for large-scale recovery of the Na and S values of red water. Lab studies have been made of the composition of red water (Ref 17) and of possible methods for recovery of the organic values of red water (Refs 22 25)...

Efficiency and equity in African commercial organic value chains... 

The following section discusses competitiveness, equity, as well as constraints and risks along the certified organic value chains. The problem in this field is the lack of quantitative and comparable data across value chains and regions, so that we have to rely on case studies of which we think that they best describe the situation in the African commercial organic agri-food sector. 

The EPA has established63 a virtually safe dose of 0.006 pg TEQ kg 1 d1, which represents one excess cancer in a million in exposure population. Many European countries use the World Health Organization value of 10 pg kg 1 d 1 Tolerable Daily Intake (TDI). US daily intake of PCDD/Fs by the general population (1.8 pg TEQ kg 1 d1) greatly exceeds the EPA s virtually safe dose, but falls within the World Health Organization TDI. 

Despite the large scattering of the ratios of the specific activity in plasma to the specific activity in several organs (values not given), it appears that even after attainment of the pseudo steady state (distribution equilibrium) those ratios are higher than unity. This suggests the specific activity in plasma to be higher than in tissues.

The plasma concentration of labeled manganese reached a peak of 10.2 pg/mL at 5 minutes postdosing and was quickly distributed into the following organs (values given as ug equivalents of compound/g) pancreas, 10.2 liver, 4.0 kidneys, 3.6 testes/ovaries, 1.7 spleen, 1.0 heart, 0.9 and brain,...
