Multi‐Omics Insights Into the Role of Fructooligosaccharides Supplementation in Alleviating Salpingitis in Laying Hens

Animal Research and One Health, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 105-119, February 2026.
Multi‐omics analysis revealed that FOS supplementation increased the abundance of Phascolarctobacterium, GCA‐900066575, Shuttleworthia, Olsenella, Eubacterium_hallii_group while decreasing Alistipes. It also influenced the metabolism of S‐lactoylglutathione, p‐cresol glucuronate, 2‐phenylethanol glucuronide, propionic acid, dulcitol, and inhibited the ...

The Effects of Human Presence, Restraint, and Stressed Neighbors on Corticosterone Levels in Domesticated Budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus)

Zoo Biology, Volume 45, Issue 1, Page 37-45, January/February 2026.
Female budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus) did not significantly elevate their plasma corticosterone levels in response to human presence at the beginning of the experiment. However, plasma corticosterone was significantly elevated by restraint stress, the return of a neighbor that received restraint stress, and human presence at the end of the ...

Applied Research Note: Maternal flaxseed diet did not affect body weight of broiler chickens diagnosed with novel avian reovirus and infectious bronchitis

Journal of Applied Poultry Research
SUMMARY: Feeding breeder hens diets enriched with omega-3 fatty acids (n-3 FA) has previously been shown to increase their progeny's immunocompetence. During an experiment to assess the effects of maternal-fed n-3 FA on broiler behavior, broiler chickens

Inferring bird migration from bone isotopes and histology: A fossil‐friendly methodological framework

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 531-553, February 2026.
Abstract Bird seasonal migration is a remarkable biogeographic phenomenon, yet its deep‐time origin(s) and evolutionary history remain poorly understood, with the bird fossil record largely overlooked. This study explores the predictability of bird migratory behaviour from the oxygen isotope composition of their bone apatite phosphate (δ18Op), a ...
