Abstract: To provide safe and easy means for preventing or treating diseases of birds and mammals, in particular, livestock. In particular, to provide means for preventing or treating an infectious disease caused by a Gram-positive bacterium. In addition, to improve fermentation in the rumen of a ruminant animal, to contribute to suppression of the generation of greenhouse gas, and to increase the feed efficiency. Mannosylerythritol lipids (MEL) and/or rhamnolipids are given to birds or mammals.

Abstract: An image processing method includes changing white balance in a color temperature direction by using values such that each of first and second color signals is converted into a logarithm.

Abstract: To promote the digestion of an animal to thereby elevate the feed efficiency or prevent or ameliorate intestinal infections such as inflammatory intestinal injury of the animal, a combination of at least one fungus selected from Aspergillus sojae, Aspergillus tamarii, Aspergillus foetidus, Aspergillus niger, and Aspergillus oryzae with an acidic enzyme produced by the fungus is administered to the animal.

Abstract: An image processing method includes changing white balance in a color temperature direction by using values such that each of first and second color signals is converted into a logarithm.

Abstract: A pressure detector includes a pressure introducer formed in a pipe with a through-hole defined therein and connected to a pressure sensor at one end. A tube fitting is mounted in advance to a fluid passage to which the pressure detector is connected. The other end of the pressure introducer of the pressure detector is inserted axially into an opening of the tube fitting. Thus, the pressure detector is easily connected to the fluid passage without requiring rotating of the pressure detector about the axis of the pressure introducer.
