Identification of key gut microbiota and microbial QTL in contributing to the significant differences in body weight between two Chinese local chicken breeds

Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Previous studies have identified genetic loci that are associated with both feed conversion efficiency and gut microbiota in chickens, suggesting that interactions between the host genome and gut microbiota may influence chicken growth. However, the number of microbial QTL and gut microbiota associated with chicken body weight remains largely ...

Have the environmental benefits of insect farming been overstated? A critical review

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 163-194, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Insect farming is frequently promoted as a sustainable food solution, yet current evidence challenges many environmental benefits claimed by industry proponents. This review critically examines the scientific foundation for assessing the environmental impacts of insect farming in both human food and animal feed applications.

Bacitracin Methylene Disalicylate in Broiler Breeder Feeds

Poultry Science, 1985
A 32-week experiment was carried out in floor pens with Cobb X Cobb breeder pullets that were 28 weeks old at initiation. Ten replicate pens, each containing 13 pullets and 2 males, received one of four dietary treatments. These treatments were either an unmedicated feed or 27.5, 55, or 110 mg/kg of bacitracin methylene disalicylate (BMD).

Agricultural System Resilience of Industrial Hemp: An Exploratory Value Web Analysis in the Swabian Alb

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study assessed the industrial hemp value web resilience in the Swabian Alb, Southern Germany, where regional implementation remains limited despite hemp's bioeconomy potential. Using an indicator framework and stakeholder interviews, the research found the small, fluctuating cultivation area (e.g., 25 ha in 2024) focuses on hemp seed valorisation;

Ekologisk slaktkyckling på hemmaproducerat foder och bete efter nöt [PDF]

Trots att konventionell kycklinguppfödning idag på många håll inte är överensstämmande med idéerna bakom ekologisk djurhållning (t.ex. benproblem och cikulationsrubbningar, preventiv medicinering, ingredienser till foderrationen och året-runt uppfödning ...

The Welfare of Animals in the Turkey Industry [PDF]

, 2008
The natural behavior and habitat of wild turkeys stand in sharp contrast to the life of turkeys commercially raised for meat. Overcrowded in automated, barren "grow-out" houses, turkeys are offered little opportunity to display their full range of ...

Eimeria species occurrence varies between geographic regions and poultry production systems and may influence parasite genetic diversity [PDF]

, 2017
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
