PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 11, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BlueVolt in cooperation with market research firm Cascade Insights has released the second edition of its “Voice of the E-Learner” survey, which asked 1,327 workers from manufacturers and distributors in the electrical, plumbing, HVAC and industrial tools industries about their perceptions of online learning. BlueVolt launched the first edition of the survey in 2016. This year’s findings showed a 27 percent drop – from 59 percent in 2016 to 33 percent in 2018 – in the number of learners who were “very satisfied” with their organization’s online training programs.
“We know this year that 90 percent of workers ranging in age from the 20s to late 60s want online training courses, such as product training, in chunks of five minutes or less,” says Douglas Gastich, president of BlueVolt. “Fifty percent of workers in their early 20s to mid-40s also want interactive online training content.”According to Gastich, the steep drop in very satisfied learners might come from online training content suppliers who are making courses too long, which the Voice of E-Learner survey suggests being any course lasting more than 10 minutes. This year’s survey saw a five percent rise, to 69 percent, among workers who prefer to learn about their company’s products and services at work versus other venues.“The desire for shorter courses could stem from employees who have limited time to learn at work,” says Scott Swigart, chief research officer of Cascade Insights. “The survey findings show a correlation between training, especially product training, and increased sales. If an employer doesn’t realize this, they may not encourage time for dedicated learning; this pressures employees to learn in short bursts.”Gastich says this year’s survey offers three key findings: First, among the total survey population, 40 percent report taking 21 or more online training courses in the last year; second, 47 percent credit online training, in part, for increasing their company’s sales; and, third, incentives may be important to getting workers to take online training courses, since just 26 percent stated they were likely to take a course without an inducement.Kian Sanjari, marketing and training manager for Mersen Electrical Power North America, says he doesn’t necessarily think companies have to reward people to learn if the content helps them do their job more successfully. Sanjari adds, “Product and application knowledge that creates customer intimacy or career advancement, are the true incentives.”

NEW CASTLE, Del., Dec. 11, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- North Carolina State University (NCSU) researchers Dr. Shaymaa M. Abousaad, Dr. Ramon D. Malheiros, and Dr. Peter R. Ferket, along with White Dog Labs’ personnel Shawn W. Jones and Bryan P. Tracy, will be presenting at the International Poultry Scientific Forum (Atlanta, GA Feb. 12-14) a paper titled “In ovo feeding dose response of probiotic Clostridium species on hatch performance and hatchling quality of broilers.”
“Due to current public concern about antimicrobial resistance, the use of direct fed microbials to manage enteric health is becoming a feasible practice, especially if administered early in a broiler’s productive life,” said Prof. Ferket, a William Neal Reynolds Professor of Nutrition and Biotechnology in the Prestage Department of Poultry Science. “Butyric acid-producing, spore-forming clostridia have been demonstrated to promote improved growth performance and gut health. We believe that in-ovo feeding of this clostridia consortium in late-term embryos is a novel and cost-effective application of probiotics in broiler chickens.”White Dog Labs was established in 2012 on the foundation of biotechnology and bioprocess development. It has invented a proprietary process, Protocol B, for the isolation, selection and cultivation of microbiome-derived Clostridia. For this series of studies, the company prepared three clostridial consortia: one containing only known species which produce butyric acid, a second butyric acid-producing consortia containing only acetogenic Clostridiales, and a third containing both acetogenic and non-acetogenic Clostridiales. Acetogenic microbes are unique because they can consume CO2.“The objective of this study was to examine the dose response of these consortia delivered by in ovo feeding on hatch performance,” said Dr. Abousaad. “The libraries were injected into the amnion of fertile eggs at ~17 days of incubation with 100 µL of either saline (9%), as a control, or different microbe dosages, from 100 to 108 microbes per egg.” Dr. Abousaad added, “The non-acetogen and the mixed consortia adversely affected hatch rate due to egg explosion and embryo death, which was attributed to excessive gas production, while the acetogen-only library significantly improved the hatchability rate by 8 – 9%, compared to the control. Additionally, in ovo feeding of the acetogen-only library improved the hatch window with all eggs hatching by exactly 21 days. The saline control and other clostridial libraries needed an additional 8 hours or more for all eggs to hatch. Importantly, no significant differences in hatchling quality parameters were observed.”
