Mango Seed Valorization: Sustainable Source of Nutrients, Bioactives, and Value‐Added Applications

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Highlighting mango seed as a valuable yet overlooked by‐product, promoting its utilization and reducing agroindustrial waste. ABSTRACT Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is one of the most widely cultivated tropical fruits, generating large quantities of by‐products during processing, with mango seed representing 20%–25% of the whole fruit weight ...

Iron requirements of broiler breeder hens

Poultry Science, 2017
A study was conducted to investigate Fe requirements of broiler breeders. One-hundred-fifty-six Cobb 500 broiler breeder hens were individually placed in electrostatically painted cages at 22 weeks. The study was composed of an adaptation phase, in which hens were fed corn-soy-wheat bran diets until 35 wks.

Uncovering Biogas Outcomes: Tales of Hubris, Hope, and Failure From Southern Malawi

Natural Resources Forum, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The purpose of this article is to speak directly to biogas failure. Over the past two decades, immense amounts of money have been spent by African governments, private individuals, and most conspicuously, international aid agencies and donors, on countless biogas projects in every country on the continent.

The Chloride Requirement of the Broiler Breeder Hen

Poultry Science, 1984
An experiment was conducted to determine the chloride requirement of broiler breeder hens fed a corn soybean meal diet. Levels of .135 and .09% (daily intake of 208 and 139 mg) supplemental chloride were required for maximum egg production and egg weight, respectively. However, a supplemental level of .135% was required to maximize hatchability.

Genetic Evaluation of Pure Line Laying Hens Based on Crossover Testing Data From Simulated Populations

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Commercial laying hen breeding programs aim to maximize the performance of crossbred animals. However, selection is usually based on data from pure lines raised in controlled nucleus environments, which may not fully predict the yields under commercial conditions.

Unraveling Biotypes Related to Thermotolerance During Lactation in Maternal‐Line Pigs Through Principal Component and Factor Analyses

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heat stress imposes significant challenges to welfare, health, and productivity of lactating sows due to their limited thermoregulatory capacity and increased metabolic heat load. Genetic selection for improved heat tolerance is a promising yet complex approach, given the large number of biological processes involved in heat stress response ...

Spectral Transforms as a Tool to Optimize Digital Phenotyping in Biological Images

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Modern livestock breeding has mastered genotyping. Genome‐wide association studies, genomic selection, and SNP arrays enable genetic merit prediction at lower cost. However, phenotyping remains the bottleneck, as manual measurement is slow, expensive, subjective, and unable to capture spatial or temporal trait organization. Digital phenotyping

Effect of Storage Time, Broiler Breeder Strain, and Age on Hatchability and First-Week Broiler Performance [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Poultry Science
Managing fertile eggs and minimizing seasonal impacts is crucial in poultry farming. This study evaluated the effects of the storage time of fertile eggs, broiler breeder strain, and age on hatchability and first-week broiler performance.

Feeding Laboratory Mice: Comparing a Standard Versus a Purified Diet – Marked Effects on Digestive Physiology

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Diet composition and processing have a major impact on its utilisation by the animal, as is known from farm and pet animal species. This includes effects on energy and nutrient digestibility, the intermediary metabolism, and the intestinal microbiome, with all the resulting impacts. For laboratory animals, data is scarce on influencing factors

Body Composition of the Broiler-Breeder Pullet

Poultry Science, 1990
Broiler breeder pullets were reared on a standard breeder-grower diet in accordance with breeder recommendations to 10 wk of age, with samples of the birds being selected for carcass analysis at 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10 wk of age. At 10 wk of age, 264 pullets were assigned to one of three diets formulated to contain 15% CP and to provide 2,550, 2,800
