Edible bird’s nest (EBN) is made from the saliva of swiftlet from the Aerodramus species. It is one of the most widely consumed traditional health food by the Chinese community due to its claimed medicinal value. Edible bird’s nest contains glycoproteins with abundance of sialic acid. Furthermore, edible bird’s nest with higher sialic acid content has a great potential for brain development in young infants. The objective of this study was to determine and compare a sialic acid content of edible bird’s nest collected from different geographical locations which are from Malaysia (Kelantan, Perlis and Kedah), Indonesia, Thailand and Philippines. Edible bird nest with higher sialic acid content has a potential to command for higher price. A sample …show more content…
There are many kind of ordinary disease that attacking human either young infant or older people. Some of the health problem that often attack the people such as gastric, asthma, and dry coughing. In that case, edible bird nest is the best medicine for those diseases in a traditional way and do not cause a side effect for human. Research on determination of sialic acid content in edible bird nest are very useful for human because we might get the healthy edible bird nest for knowing the advantages of sialic acid and nutrient content in edible bird nest.
Sialic acid plays an important role in edible bird nest. This is because sialic acid is a part of amino group which is linked to the monosaccharides chain which is the combination of protein and carbohydrates. So that, sialic acid’s function as brain development and learning ability especially for young infant. In order to treat for those kind of diseases like asthma and gastric, edible bird nest play an important role on treating them.
Furthermore, edible bird nest also offer health benefits for certain medical conditions that include lung related medical issues like tuberculosis, phlegm-dyspnea (difficult breathing), improving vocal cords and general weakness of bronchial
The short story, “The White Heron” and the poem, “A Caged Bird” are both alike and different in many ways. In the next couple of paragraphs I will explain these similarities and differences and what makes them unique to the stories.

These air sacs are particularly well placed to aid the birds in shedding excess heat from its body as it breathes. Air sacs also cools the tissues that are in contact with them.

The idea of writing at any school level or in life is seen more as a grueling task than enjoyable experience. In the novel, Bird by Bird, the author Anne Lamott is speaking to a generation of writers, who may be struggling with the process. The content is rich with stories to help the writer analyze his or her own life to add it to their writing style, a concept that may be hard for some people. Bird by Bird is an effective book, because Lamott includes not only writing tips, but a sense of humor along with life advice.

Hummingbirds rely on plant nectar to supply the necessary energy for their highly energetically and expensive flying and feeding behaviors. Hummingbirds obtain energy from the nectar of flowers using their tongue and it is thought that up to half of the tongue is made up of cartilage making it easier to direct and control and in turn more efficiently eat. (Tamm, Gass 1986). Hummingbirds have the ability to drink their own weight in nectar only in a matter of hours (Tamm, Gass 1986) and in order to meet their daily energetic needs they must visit several thousand flowers a day (Tamm, Gass 1986).

According to Marıa et al., (2004) reduced locomotion activity increases stress due to the frustration of not being able to express some behaviors, for example, lack of access to nests (Duncan, 1998). Benefits of environmental enrichment to poultry is even distribution of birds in the available space, which permits more activity and locomotion that reduces disturbances and aggression as well as fear and stress (Leone and Estévez, 2008). Certain poultry behaviour has a strong incentive and poultry welfare is negatively affected if the birds are not allowed to express these behaviours (Linares and Martin, 2010). These authors stated that frustration, fear, and pain are the negative mental states of poultry and include increased aggression, displacement preening, and stereotyped pacing. Study from Linares and Martin (2010), confirms that extreme nervousness and hysteria are signs of poor welfare and they are associated with high population densities in large group, exposure to clamor, unexpected movement, or inexperienced circumstances, which result in skin trauma from scratches, spontaneous fractures, lessened feed consumption, decreased egg production, and reproductive disorders such as internal laying and peritonitis secondary to abdominal
