Comprehensive Characterization of Acer truncatum Leaf Extract: Identification of Systemic Metabolites and Effects on Performance, Antioxidant Status, and Intestinal Microbiota in Laying Hens

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Dietary A. truncatum leaf extract is absorbed and improves laying performance in aged hens by enhancing systemic antioxidant capacity and modulating the gut microbiota. ABSTRACT The demand for natural feed additives is considerably increasing in the antibiotic‐free feed era.

Enhancing Meat Quality Through Dietary Fiber: Insights Into the Gut Microbiota‐Derived Short‐Chain Fatty Acids‐Muscle Axis

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Dietary fiber (DF) modulates meat quality through the gut‐muscle axis by reshaping gut microbiota, improving intestinal integrity, reducing inflammation, and regulating muscle metabolism. These mechanisms influence muscle fiber characteristics and post‐mortem biochemistry, thereby enhancing tenderness, juiciness, color, flavor, and nutritional value of

Energy partitioning at low temperatures in broiler breeders

, 2019
The objective of the present study was to investigate how broiler breeder hens partition dietary metabolisable energy (ME) at low temperatures. Performance of caged broiler breeders fed equal quantities of essential nutrients (other than energy) was ...

The welfare of broiler breeders

Animal Welfare, 1999
In August 1998, the UK's Farm Animal Welfare Council (FAWC) published its most recent report: addressing the welfare of broiler breeders. Some 780 million broiler chicks are produced annually in the UK and at any one time the national population of broiler breeder hens that produce these chicks is about 6 million.

Comparative Analysis of Salmonella typhimurium‐Induced Transcriptomic Changes in the Spleen of Beijing‐You Chickens and Guang Ming Broilers

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
This study analyzed the spleen transcriptomes of different chicken breeds, identified key differentially expressed genes (EGR1, FOS, and DUSP1) that regulate resistance to Salmonella infection, and elucidated the underlying regulatory mechanisms, thereby providing new targets for disease‐resistant breeding in poultry.

Feathers and flu: identifying data gaps in avian influenza host dynamics to prioritize wildlife conservation Plumas y gripe: identificación de datos faltantes en la dinámica de hospedadores de la influenza aviar para priorizar la conservación de la vida silvestre

Wildlife Monographs, EarlyView.
We describe the host response continuum for highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIV), including the continuum of host responses to HPAIV infection and exposure based on the primary axis of host competence, ability to infect other hosts, and host vulnerability.

Haematological and histopathological monitoring of monosodium glutamate–supplemented feeding in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss): A possible modelling for a single health approach

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the potential effects of monosodium glutamate (MSG), a known flavour enhancer added to many ready‐to‐eat foods, as a feed additive in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Evaluating the effects of MSG on aquatic organisms will fill the knowledge gap in this field by monitoring the haematological indices

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

Modeling energy utilization in broiler breeders, laying hens and broilers [PDF]

, 2004
The factorial approach has been used to partition the energy requirements into maintenance, growth, and production. The coefficients determined for these purposes can be used to elaborate energy requirement models.
