The grains or plant live, with proper care as long as their owners. Kefir cultures reproduce themselves and do not know a physical death. We recommend making one litre (1½ pints) each time, though quantities of up to 2 litres is possible. Clean the Kefir grains daily by placing them in a sieve then allow medium flow of water to wash through the grains.

This varies with the mosquito species and the time of the year. Some species may only live for less than a week, while others can live for several months over the winter months. (BACK)

Although staph can live on surfaces for days to weeks, it doesn’t mean that it will make a person sick. Staph has to get off the surface and onto someone’s skin, where the organism may or may not survive due to the presence of competing organisms. Even if it survives on someone’s skin, it may simply live on the skin and not cause an infection. In order to cause an infection there has to be a break in the integrity of the skin.

Well I guess that depends on who you talk to--Most farmers who are in the egg producing business will say 2 years. Those who are in the meat producing business will say 6 months--Those who keep birds as pets (with names) or who are not interested in maximum production of eggs, will find that chickens can live up to 8 or 10 years.

In very general terms, the larger a bird is, the longer its life expectancy. For small birds, such as migratory songbirds (warblers, vireos, etc.) the average life expectancy may be as little as two years. This short life expectancy is due to the many hazards birds face from birth: predators, disease, accidents, migration, starvation, habitat loss, and hunting, among others. Some individual birds have survived surprisingly long, including a cardinal (13.

The average dog lives about 10-12 years. Unlike most animals, smaller breeds tend to live longer than larger ones.

Not all live active cultures are the same and not all cultures are probiotics. Probiotics must be alive and they should be able to reach the intestine alive so they can have an effect. The required amount of probiotics must be present at the time you eat the product—not just when the product was made. Finally, probiotics have been proven to provide a health benefit.

Cairns can live well into their teens, and most are still very active and alert at 10 years of age and older.

A Desert Locust lives a total of about three to five months although this is extremely variable and depends mostly on weather and ecological conditions. The life cycle comprises three stages: egg, hopper and adult. Eggs hatch in about two weeks (the range is 10-65 days), hoppers develop in five to six stages over a period of about 30-40 days, and adults mature in about three weeks to nine months but more frequently from two to four months.

There is no set time period for how long a FeLV+ cat will live. One person on the internet said they had a cat which lived for 20 years with the virus, while others have given dates as long as 10 or 12 years, although these are probably extremes. I have not found any truly long-term studies to document, but it seems that of the studies done, 83% of FeLV+ cats do not live beyond 4 years. (Hardy, et al 1980).

Washed sperm is supposed to only live for 6-12 hours, but sometimes as long as 24 -- not nearly as long as sperm can live in fertile cervical mucus (sperm can live up to 5 days in fertile mucus, 2-3 days being pretty common). This is why timing is so important.

Once they reach the butterfly stage, most live an average of about 10 days. There are exceptions in the Conservatory. The Longwing butterflies can live 3 or more months.

However, it is possible to control the lifespan and production rate of your fruitfly culture. By controlling temperature, it's possible to control the rate of reproduction. Optimum reproductive rate occurs at temperatures of approximately 80° F. At around 60° F, reproductive rate slows, thus allowing longer feeding time and longer use from a single culture. Obviously, the more flies you use, the higher you will want the reproductive rate to be.

You'd think that would be a simple question, with a simple answer. Unfortunately, every source I've found gives different information: Britanica Online says the lifespan of a domestic cat in captivity is 21 years (in context, this seems to be the maximum age of the vast majority of otherwise healthy cats!!!). The Tidycat website once indicated that the average Russian Blue lives 18 years (I couldn't find a reference to persian lifespan). On the HomeArts Ask the Vet website, Dr.
