Darkling beetles (Alphitobius diaperinus) and their larvae as potential vectors for the transfer of Campylobacter jejuni and Salmonella enterica serovar paratyphi B variant Java between successive broiler flocks [PDF]

, 2008
Broiler flocks often become infected with Campylobacter and Salmonella, and the exact contamination routes are still not fully understood. Insects like darkling beetles and their larvae may play a role in transfer of the pathogens between consecutive ...

Comparative Meta‐Analysis of Antimicrobial Peptides in Aquatic and Terrestrial Livestock Species

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
A global meta‐analysis of 58 studies (926 effect sizes and 29 species across five taxa) revealed that dietary antimicrobial peptides generally improve growth performance, blood metabolites, and immune responses. The greatest benefits were observed in omnivorous livestock, such as pigs and chickens. Dose‐duration effects were evident. An optimal outcome

Longitudinal Modulation of the Gut Microbiome and Growth Performance by Phytochemicals as Antibiotic Alternatives in Swine Production

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
We conducted a longitudinal trial across nursery, growing, and finishing phases, showing that phytochemical supplementation as a potential antibiotic alternative reduced potential pathogens and promoted beneficial Lactobacillus amylovorus in the nursery phase, and enriched amino acid and carbohydrate metabolism pathways (prediction) during finishing ...

Colonization of Broilers with Campylobacter in Conventional Broiler-Chicken Flocks [PDF]

Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 1986
Eight of 16 conventional broiler-chicken flocks examined contained Campylobacter. All isolates were identified as C. jejuni except from 1 flock were C. coli was isolated. One herd consisting of 6 different houses where Campylobacter regularly has been isolated was continuously examined.

Trends and Current Situation of China's Meat Sector

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As the world's largest meat producer, consumer, and importer, China's meat sector has undergone profound transformation over the past decade, driven by biological crises (e.g., African Swine Fever), environmental policies, and global market integration. This study analyzes the sector's production restructuring, consumption diversification, and

Tibia properties in broilers raised on their own commercial diets with different growth rates and sex during a 10‐week rearing period

Veterinary Medicine and Science
Background Genetic selection applied to broilers results in fast growth and an increase in meat yield. However, this situation causes welfare problems in broilers.

Male chicken thigh meat quality from fast and slow growing breeds from an organic free-range system [PDF]

, 2009
Significant effects of Genotype and Age on several of the technological meat quality attributes measured were found. In general, the meat from fast growing birds (JA) was darker, more tender, had a higher water-binding but a higher cooking loss.
