SALT TOXICOSIS IN POULTS - A CLINICAL REPORT [PDF]

Journal of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, 2014
Sodium (Na+) is the toxic ion in salt toxicosis of domestic fowls. Sodium chloride (common salt) is generally thought of as providing the majority of Na+ found in the diet. However, other sources of sodium such as sodium bicarbonate, can also contribute

A Pan‐Methylome Framework for Population‐Scale Bacterial Epigenomics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A scalable quantitative framework unlocks population‐level comparative epigenomics in bacteria. By transforming site‐level data into standardized traits, this approach reconstructs methylation‐informed phylogenies and defines the core epigenome.

Deltacoronavirus Modulates circRNA cGLIS3 Metabolism to Evade Host Antiviral Response

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals that both deltacoronavirus nucleocapsid protein and host RNA binding protein IGF2BP2 promote circular RNA GLIS3 (cGLIS3) biogenesis by binding to GLIS3 pre‐mRNA. The m6A modification‐mediated cGLIS3‐IGF2BP2 interaction weakens RNase L‐mediated degradation of cGLIS3 while facilitates a ubiquitin‐dependent degradation of IGF2BP2, thus ...

Effect of maternal zinc supplementation on offsprings hatchability, growth performance and intestinal development in broiler chickens

Scientific Reports
Maternal diet plays a vital role in the development of the offspring and their post-hatch performance. The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of supplementary organic zinc to the basal diet of broiler breeder chickens on the bird’s ...

Maternal glucocorticoid levels during incubation predict breeding success, but not reproductive investment, in a free-ranging bird

Biology Open, 2020
The hormone corticosterone (CORT) has been hypothesized to be linked with fitness, but the directionality of the relationship is unclear. The ‘CORT-fitness hypothesis’ proposes that high levels of CORT arise from challenging environmental conditions ...

Hemp Cultivation and Crop Diversification: Implications for Ecosystem Services in Kentucky

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the ecosystem benefits of expanding hemp cultivation by assessing its impact on crop diversity. Using scenario‐based simulations and fixed‐effect panel regressions with county‐level data in Kentucky, we find that increased hemp acreage tends to enhance crop diversity, improving water quality and bird diversity.

Functional and structural comparison of visual lateralization in birds – similar but still different

Frontiers in Psychology, 2014
Vertebrate brains display physiological and anatomical left-right differences, which are related to hemispheric dominances for specific functions. Functional lateralizations likely rely on structural left-right differences in intra- and interhemispheric ...

U.S. Consumer Preferences for Cage‐Free Eggs and Hen Housing Policies

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Farm animal welfare (FAW) continues to be a divisive issue in the egg industry. In the United States, 10 states and most major retailers have implemented policies or voluntary pledges to transition to 100% cage‐free egg sales. We use best‐worst scaling and discrete choice experiments to evaluate U.S.
