Coccidiosis in broilers: Evaluation of infection by the examination of broiler house litter for Oocysts [PDF]

Avian Pathology, 1975
A study was made of the incidence of coccidial oocysts in approximately 1,660 samples of litter from 48 broiler houses on 5 broiler farms during a 12 month period during 1974-75. Oocysts of Eimeria acervulina and Eimeria maxima predominated in the samples but oocysts resembling Eimeria brunetti and Eimeria tenella were sometimes present. Oocyst numbers

Gut Health in Ostriches (Struthio camelus): Insights Into Intestinal Structure, Functions, Microbiome, and Improvement Strategies

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Our paper systematically reviews the intestinal structure, function, and microbiota of ostriches, along with strategies for improving their gut health. We analyze how these factors collectively influence intestinal homeostasis and ostrich welfare, emphasizing probiotics as a promising intervention to enhance gut health, boost population well‐being, and

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.

Virginiamycin and Broiler Performance

Poultry Science, 1984
Two experiments were conducted with broilers to determine the effect of Virginiamycin supplementation on performance and shank pigmentation. Virginiamycin supplementation at 10 ppm resulted in significantly increased body weights in both experiments.

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

Improved texture of breast meat after a short finishing feeding period of broilers in an organic free-range system

, 2013
In order to develop an organic broiler product with high ethical value, high meat quality and based on locally produced feed, we tested if a long period without high quality protein feed followed by a finishing period with a high quality protein ration ...

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.

The ageing holobiont: crosstalk between telomere dynamics, oxidative stress and the gut microbiome

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The gut tissue is at the frontline of early onset of ageing. It exhibits high cell turnover rates and rapid telomere shortening, which can have systemic effects on the developing or senescing organism. We conducted a literature review of studies on the crosstalk between telomere length dynamics, telomerase activity, oxidative stress, and gut ...
