Thanks to such pressure, total logistics costs have declined from 16.5% in 1980 to 10.1% of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2000. In particular, transportation costs have fallen from 7.6% to 5.9% of GDP in 2000. Transportation cost savings definitely benefit shippers, while jeopardizing the viability of carriers. To help transportation carriers cope with enormous cost pressure, this paper examines the impact that “lumper” costs, empty miles, and shipment size have on the very competitive trucking industry. Through an actual case study of a firm based in the Southeast U.S., we illustrate how lumper costs, empty front-haul and backhaul, and shipping weight and pieces can adversely affect the trucking firm’s profitability.","PeriodicalId":8667,"journal":{"name":"Avian Diseases","volume":"61 1","pages":"fmii"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1637/0005-2086-61.2.fmii","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43519574","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 101 poultry droppings from 30 farms in the Jammu and Kashmir union territory were analyzed. Nineteen isolates of <i>Salmonella</i> were obtained, and these belonged to four serotypes: <i>Salmonella enterica enterica</i> serotype Kentucky (<i>n</i> = 3), <i>Salmonella enterica enterica</i> serotype Infantis (<i>n</i> = 5), <i>Salmonella enterica enterica</i> serotype Agona (<i>n</i> = 4), and <i>Salmonella enterica enterica</i> serotype Typhimurium (<i>n</i>= 7). The study has isolated some <i>Salmonella</i> serotypes that are infrequently reported in India. Some of the isolated serotypes are reported to be endemic for human nontyphoidal salmonellosis cases in the region. Whether this indicates a shift in the serotype pattern in poultry in the region needs to be investigated further.
