Relationship between hatchling length and weight on later productive performance in broilers [PDF]
Hatchling length and weight are used as tools to measure hatchling quality. However, the relationship between these parameters and later performance are not well known.

Restricted Feeding of Broiler Breeders
Two experiments were conducted to compare the effects of various feed restriction programs during the growing and laying periods on body weight, egg production, fertility, and hatchability. In the first experiment, Cobb color-sexed broiler breeders were fed one of three grower programs (full feed, skip-a-day, or low protein) from 8 to 24 weeks of age ...

Eimeria species occurrence varies between geographic regions and poultry production systems and may influence parasite genetic diversity [PDF]
Coccidiosis is one of the biggest challenges faced by the global poultry industry. Recent studies have highlighted the ubiquitous distribution of all Eimeria species which can cause this disease in chickens, but intriguingly revealed a regional divide in

Broiler breeder paradox: a project report [PDF]
A first product of this European project was a tool for scoring chick quality. A link was established between chick quality and embryonic physiological parameters such as heat production. Eggs from broiler breeders that give rise to rapidly growing broilers have a different embryonic development that may need modified incubation conditions.

Assessing the occurrence and transfer dynamics of ESBL/pAmpC-producing Escherichia coli across the broiler production pyramid [PDF]
Extended-spectrum \u3b2-lactamase (ESBL)- and plasmid mediated AmpC-type cephalosporinase (pAmpC)-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL/pAmpC E. coli) in food-producing animals is a major public health concern.

Seroprevalence of avian metapneumovirus infection in broiler and broiler breeder chickens in Iran
Avian metapneumovirus causes an acute highly contagious upper respiratory tract infection primarily of turkeys and chickens. The disease can cause significant economic losses in turkey and chicken flocks, particularly when exacerbated by secondary ...

Sodium Requirement for Broiler Breeder Hens
Two experiments were conducted with Arbor Acres hens to determine their Na requirement. Sodium chloride was added to a corn-soybean meal diet to furnish daily intakes of 35, 65, 95, 125, and 150 mg per hen in Experiment 1. The 150 mg level was replaced with 180 mg in Experiment 2. The hens were maintained in floor pens with wood shavings used as litter.
