Spirochaetosis in broilers [PDF]

open access: yesAvian Pathology, 1992
One-day-old broilers were inoculated with spirochaetes (isolate 1380); the inocula consisting either of spirochaetes derived from plate culture or from intestinal homogenates of previously infected birds. After 13 to 15, and 21 days after inoculation growth was depressed, serum concentrations of protein lipid, carotenoids and bilirubin were decreased ...

Welfare of broiler chickens [PDF]

open access: yesItalian Journal of Animal Science, 2009
Broiler chickens have been selected for their rapid growth rate as well as for high carcass yields, with particular regard to the breast, and reared in intensive systems at high stocking density ranging from 30 to 40 kg live weight/m2. These conditions lead to a worsening of the welfare status of birds. In Europe a specific directive for the protection

Supplemental L-arginine improves feed conversion and modulates lipid metabolism in male and female broilers from 29 to 42 days of age

open access: yesAnimal, 2021
The excessive accumulation of abdominal fat in broilers is an economic waste. Supplemental dietary L-arginine has been shown to reduce lipogenesis in broilers, but studies on this subject are still scarce.

Comparison of different dietary sources of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids on immune response in broiler chickens [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The study aims to research the effects of varied dietary sources of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) on the immune response in broiler chickens with stress on natural killer (NK) cell activity. Diets supplemented with one of the four sources of n-3
