Over Thanksgiving dinner, a college student related that there is a law that cafeterias are required to put laxatives into the food they serve. The purpose of the additives is to reduce the chances of food poisoning by limiting the length of time that the food is in the body.[Collected via e-mail, September 2005]. This is my first year in college and there's word going around that the food people put laxatives in the food.It's a very small amount and it's supposedly intended so that if there is ever food poisoning, that the food would be flushed out anyways so no one would find out and sue the school.elief in the legend fails to take into account what would happen to a school foolhardy enough to secretly dose its students with any kind of medication. Just about any drug can prompt an adverse reaction in at least a few people, causing them to become ill, or maybe even to die.
The gestation length for all breeds of cattle averaged together is 283 days. The range is 279 for Jersey and up to 292 for Brahman. On the average, the Continental breeds of Charolais, Simmental, and Limousin exhibit gestation lengths of 289 days. English-bred cattle such as Angus, Shorthorn, and Hereford exhibit, on the average, shorter gestation lengths of 281, 282 and 285 respectively. Within those breeds the average gestation length can vary an additional twelve days on either side of the average for the breed.
Ovulation occurs late in the period. Gestation period. The normal gestation period of ewes is approximately 147 days, ranging from 144 to 152 days. The medium-wool breeds and meat-type breeds ordinarily have a shorter gestation period than do the fine-wool breeds.High temperatures and high nutrition levels may shorten the gestation period two or three days.ormal Breeding Habits of Sheep. Age of puberty. Ewes typically reach puberty at 5 to 12 months, depending on breed, nutrition, and date of birth. Anestrous period (reproductive inactivity). This is the period when ewes normally do not demonstrate estrus (heat).
