This reminds me of the pork industry's stubborn refusal to stop using gestation crates coffin-sized crates that confine pregnant sows so tightly that they can't even turn around.
if she wanted to turn around#Gestation Crates Have No Place in U s. Food Production (Op-Ed) Thankfully this line of thinking now faces a major challenge from within the pork industry with major producers splitting from the NPPC on gestation crates
Smithfield foods for example has committed to phasing out all of its gestation crates and to reducing its use of ractopamine.
And just last month we were pleased to announce that Cargill is following suit in eliminating gestation crates.

The gestation periods for monkeys vary depending on the genus. For example the gestation for a rhesus monkey is 164 days Baboons have a similar gestation period of around 187 days.
Chimps on the other hand have a much longer gestation period of around 237 days according to the San jose State university.
If there is a lack of food female monkeys will stop mating until there are better circumstances for getting pregnant.
which are very high in folate a nutrient that is especially important during pregnancy. The scientists investigated the concentration of nutrients in the blood of 84 pregnant women who conceived at the peak of the rainy season
and 83 women who conceived at the peak of the dry season. In addition they analyzed the DNA of six specific genes in the women's infants
when they were 2 to 8 months old. 7 Ways Pregnant Women Affect Babies The researchers found that in all six genes the infants who were conceived during the rainy season had consistently higher rates of methylation in their DNA.
For instance whether Dutch women suffered through post-WORLD WAR II famines during pregnancy apparently influenced how skinny

Like humans female gorillas are pregnant for nine months and usually give birth to only one infant at a time.
After self-pollination the flowers lose their petals as the fertilized ovaries in the center of the flowers begin to enlarge.
and flower simultaneously the plant will produce a seedless fruit that develops without fertilization. When removed the crown of the pineapple fruit contains small roots.
This concentration can spike by nearly tenfold during and after pregnancy. Research has shown that male prolactin levels can also surge according to a 2008 review on male lactation published in the journal Trends in Ecology and Evolution.
#Four Weeks Pregnant: What to Expect This is part of a Live Science series of articles on the weekly changes that a pregnant woman's body goes through as it adapts to the growing needs of the fetus inside her.
In the fourth week of your pregnancy (measured from the first day of your last period) you will begin to register positive results on pregnancy tests
and be able to confirm that you are pregnant. For the sake of accuracy wait until the end of the week to take any home pregnancy tests.
If the test comes back positive congratulations! You should make an appointment with your health care provider for a prenatal checkup.
If the test is still negative take another test at five weeks. Most practitioners don't see patients until they are eight weeks along so you may need to wait a few weeks before actually seeing a specialist.
However if you have had a high-risk pregnancy or a history of problems in giving birth you should see the health care provider sooner than that.
This early in the pregnancy there won't be any major outward changes in your body though the basal body temperature your body temperature
An absence of spotting is not a cause for concern as most women do not spot during the first few weeks of pregnancy.
Some pregnancy symptoms can start at this point including fatigue and exhaustion. Higher hormone levels direct more blood flow to your breasts causing them to be tender and sore.
The embryo now about 2 millimeters (0. 079 inches) long according to the American Pregnancy Association has three layers:
At this point and throughout the pregnancy you should avoid alcohol caffeine recreational drugs and smoking.

#Three Weeks Pregnant: What to Expect This is part of a Live Science series of articles on the weekly changes that a pregnant woman's body goes through as it adapts to the growing needs of the fetus inside her.
In the third week of pregnancy it's possible that a woman won't yet know that she is pregnant.
There won't be any major outward changes in her body although some pregnancy symptoms may have started. A pregnancy's timeline begins the first day of a woman's last menstrual period.
Home pregnancy tests are designed to be used a week after a woman's missed period so she should wait until then to avoid anxiety over a false negative test
and to keep from wasting money. At this stage in the pregnancy the basal body temperature your body temperature when you are completely at rest will be high.
You may notice some mild cramping usually from one side. This pain is called mittelschmerz German for middle pain is associated with ovulation
when the ovary is releasing an egg. Some women will experience an increase in vaginal discharge
An absence of spotting is not a cause for concern as the majority of women do not spot during the first few weeks of pregnancy.
Other symptoms of the pregnancy at this point include fatigue and exhaustion. Also higher hormone levels direct more blood flow to the breasts causing them to be tender and sore.
In weeks 1 and 2 of pregnancy the fertilized egg moves into the uterus and becomes a blastocyte or blastocyst a very tiny group of cells the size of the head of a pin.
The part that develops into the placenta begins to produce human chorionic gonadotropin (hcg) a pregnancy hormone.
This is the hormone that pregnancy tests look for so you may be able to take such a test at this time
and get proof that you are pregnant. Because this stage is different for each woman
At this point and throughout the pregnancy you should avoid alcohol caffeine recreational drugs and smoking.

which showed that the soil was acidifying rapidly because of over-fertilization (see'Acid soil threatens Chinese farms').
But Chinese farmers are often unaware of the consequences of over-fertilization. They see the green leaves
Better education could provide a simple solution to the fertilization problem. Upendra Singh, a soil scientist at the IFDC
We believe the cells know they are male or female at fertilization, Clinton says.
Plant biologists fear for cress project: Nature Newsthe brilliant career of a diminutive weed may have hit a snag.
higher concentrations of the gas reduce water loss during photosynthesis. A strong CO2 fertilization effect
But in the Northern hemisphere, fertilization experiments which involve pumping tonnes of CO2 into forest plots indicate that the effect is limited by the availability of nutrients such as nitrogen.
CO2 fertilization is absolutely critical in the tropics and we know absolutely nothing about it
They called for a rethink of current fertilization practices. Zhang Fusuo, a plant nutritionist at the China Agricultural University in Beijing, says China has 9%of the world's arable land

It gave birth to blind, hairless young, one at a time. Its brain was folded highly, and it had three pairs of molars on each jaw."
Scientists coaxed a clone of an extinct ibex from Spain to birth from a special hybrid goat.
Ecotoxicologist James Cresswell, who studies pollination at the University of Exeter, UK, says that one can still equivocate over the evidence
Climate modellers trying to build carbon fertilization into their forecasts have had  precious few data to go on."
But the Hadley Centre s simulations, like all climate models, assume a substantial CO2-fertilization effect in the tropics.
the extent of CO2 fertilization largely determines the Amazon s resilience to global warming.""Let s do it right.
Because of the sheer volume of carbon cycling through the tropics, the fertilization effect has a massive impact on the amount of carbon that forests take up globally and on how much remains in the atmosphere.
UK modellers showed last year3that atmospheric CO2 Â levels in 2100 depended largely on the magnitude of the fertilization effect,
Richard Betts, a member of the Hadley team, says the paper showed that the effect of the CO2-fertilization feedback was potentially much larger than had been thought."
The experiments in temperate forests   rings of towers that inject CO2 into circular plots   showed an initial fertilization effect,
In theory, the fertilization effect should be stronger in the tropics, where warmer temperatures work in concert with higher CO2 levels to increase the rate of photosynthesis
which over three years has helped them to revise theories about the birth and death of stars (see Nature 495,
although they should have received all the Vitamin d they needed before birth from their mothers. The researchers argue that the mothers themselves might have had a low-level Vitamin d deficiency because of the heavy makeup worn by high-status women,

and the vegetation that depends on them for pollination. Fewer bees not only means less honey it means less food.
Totally crazy to think that technology can be as efficient as the natural bee in pollination.
In fact you can only get this temporary cure that allows you to get pregnant for a short period of time
The cross-pollination bit is the perhaps the most disturbing thing but I head somewhere that recently they prohibited agro companies from suing farmers that accidentally grow GMO crops that got there by cross pollinationalso the article says that theres nothing thats been published to support the notion of any health detriments (or benefits) from GMO crops...
FYI-It is impossible to stop cross pollination. Committee Charge from the Office of the Secretary The AC21 has been charged by the Office of the Secretary with addressing the following questions:
http://www. usda. gov/documents/ac21 report-enhancing-coexistence. pdfthey sue people for cross pollination and win by out spending them-Many of these farmers have had to pay a settlement to the corporation even
since ur birth and you are physically uncapeable to accept the opposite. GMO foods got sideeffects
if that means cross-pollination may cause non-modified rice to die or what.)Opponents also say there are better ways of relieving Vitamin a deficiency such as encouraging farmers to grow
BBC Why aren't there tests inside controlled environments to see what effects there are of cross pollination?
And yes cross-pollination with other plants has unknown consequences. You get different strains of plants.
and 19 million pregnant women in 122 countries were estimated to be affected by Vitamin a deficiency in 2005.
Cross-pollination and hybridization occurs naturally...genetic modification happens in the lab only.@@shutterpod...genetic modification happens in the lab only really guess you never heard of domestication corn hybrids or evolution?
Conversely females that ate the yogurt diets gave birth to larger litters and weaned those pups with greater success. So once

#European Bee Sperm bank Will Improve U s. Bee Gene Poolhere's a new idea for protecting the declining honeybee population in the U s. One team of scientists is importing European honeybee semen for fun
Crops from almonds to berries to broccoli to onions all depend on bee pollination. In addition to breeding colony collapse-resistant bees the Washington researchers hope to breed new bees with other traits American farmers from different regions want.
And what they can't use now the researchers will freeze for later in a bee sperm bank.
The sperm bank brings unique genetic diversity to America's bees. Since 1922 when scientists discovered a parasite was likely causing large bee die offs in England the U s. has restricted the import of live bees from overseas.
On top of that child birth is dangerous and our young are helpless for a long time. Survival of the fittest? You can spin a creation myth all day long.
If an American woman gave birth to a baby in space; that baby would be American.
So if she gave birth on Mars is the child American? As things are now that child could never hope to hold an address within the U s..Can't vote correct?
but for their pollination services--without them you wouldn't have almonds blueberries tomatoes and a long list of other crucial crops.
Heck you could even use them for pollination!..If the bee disappeared off the face of the earth man would only have four years left to live...
I think most of the Midwest was still under snow at that time so even incidental cross pollination is impossible.

There are many ways to pollinate. http://en. wikipedia. org/wiki/Pollination But what is killing the bees
That is to say a proto-chicken gave birth to a real-life official chicken. And since that real-life official chicken came out of its own egg we can say that the egg came first.
If it's already pregnant some of its female children will even become sterile. Along with those more traditional techniques Metro Transit Authority officials are hoping this puts a dent in the rodent population.
If you sterilize the female rats the males ones can't get them pregnant. That's how sexual reproduction works.
and other family traits inherited from birth along with certain innate instincts also play a crucial role.
