British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Obesity is a chronic, relapsing, multisystem disease in which cardiometabolic risk arises from excess adiposity and progressive dysfunction of peripheral organs, ultimately disrupting endocrine and metabolic crosstalk among tissues. Within this network, sulphur‐based biology, centred on hydrogen sulphide and related reactive sulphur species, has ...

The effects of high-air velocity on broiler performance
Poultry Science, 2003 Two trials using a total of 1,484 Ross male broilers were conducted to study the effect of air velocities of 180 and 120 m/min versus still air (

Response of broiler chickens to different dietary crude protein and feeding regimens
Brazilian Journal of Poultry Science, 2005 Five isocaloric (3200kcal/kg) diets were used in an experiment designed to investigate the effects of dietary crude protein (CP) and feeding regimens on broiler performance.

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.

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 ...

PRODUCTION AND PROFITABILITY RESPONSES TO ALTERNATIVE PROTEIN SOURCES AND LEVELS IN BROILER RATIONS [PDF]
Profitability of using alternative protein sources in broiler feed is investigated through the development of a two-stage mathematical program that optimizes broiler production. A case study of peanut meal vs. soybean meal is examined.

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

THE WELFARE EFFECTS OF BANNING TOURNAMENTS WHEN COMMITMENT IS IMPOSSIBLE: SOME RESULTS FROM THE BROILER SECTOR [PDF]
We consider the implications of banning tournament contracts and replacing them with fixed performance standard contracts in a multi-period model where the principal cannot commit to future contract parameters.
