ANALYSIS OF SITE-SPECIFIC DETERMINANTS OF LOCATION DECISIONS FOR THE U.S. BROILER INDUSTRY [PDF]
Conjoint analysis is applied to study the attributes affecting the location of a broiler complex. Distance between feed mill and growers, feed cost, and community attitude toward broiler industry are found to be the most important factors influencing the

Effect of Electrolyte Balance in Low-Protein Diets on Broiler Performance and Tibial Dyschondroplasia Incidence [PDF]
A proper dietary electrolyte balance (DEB) is essential to ensure an optimum acid-base equilibrium and broiler performance. In low-CP diets, this balance can be affected by reduction of soybean meal and inclusion of high levels of synthetic amino acids ...

A comparative study of acute phase protein concentrations in historical and modern broiler breeding lines [PDF]
Acute-phase proteins (APP) are secreted from the liver as a result of inflammation or infection and are measurable in serum and plasma. To determine whether the constitutive APP serum amyloid A (SAA), alpha-1-acid glycoprotein (AGP), ceruloplasmin (Cp ...
