Abstract: A method and apparatus for screening luggage are provided. X-ray images derived by scanning the luggage with X-rays are received and processed with an automated threat detection (ATD) engine. A determination is then made whether to subject respective ones of the X-ray images to further visual inspection by a human operator at least in part based on results obtained by the ATD engine. In certain cases, visual inspection by a human operator is by-passed and the ATD results are relied upon in order to mark luggage for further inspection or to mark luggage as clear. In another aspect, X-ray images derived by scanning the luggage using two or more X-ray scanning devices are pooled at a centralized location. ATD operations are applied to the X-ray images, which are then provided “on-demand” to a human operator for visual inspection. Results of the visual inspection are entered by the human operator and then conveyed to on-site screening technicians associated with respective X-ray scanning devices.

Abstract: A water soluble globulin concentrate is described. The globulin concentrate is administered through the animals' water supply and is effective in increasing growth and weight gain in animals. The concentrate is especially effective in reducing morbidity in underweight, stressed pigs, post-weaning.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for feeding older sows that beneficially reduce feed intake in older sows, yet improve pig survival and weaning weight of pigs from older sows.

Abstract: Methods and compositions are disclosed for modulating the immune system of animals. Applicant has identified that oral administration of immunoglubulin or plasma fractions purified from animal serum can modulate serum IgG and/or TNF-? levels for treatment of autoimmune disorders, potentiation of vaccination protocols, and improvement of overall health and weight gain in animals, including humans.
