Heat Stress in Quail: Impacts on Health and Productivity, and Mitigation Strategies

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Heat stress disrupts physiological homeostasis in quail, inducing oxidative stress, immune dysregulation, and metabolic imbalance, which impair growth, reproduction, product quality, and welfare. Integrating nutritional, environmental, and genetic–epigenetic strategies enhances thermotolerance, sustains productivity, and supports climate‐smart quail ...

Effect of Cyclic Heat Exposure on the Growth Performance and Metabolism of Broilers Fed Palm Kernel Meal

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
The aim of our study is to evaluate the interaction between HS and the incorporation of PKM in broiler chicken diets, as well as its effect on growth performance and metabolism. Based on the results obtained, PKM supplementation failed to mitigate the adverse effects of heat stress in broiler chickens. ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the

The Use of Seemingly Unrelated Regression (SUR) to Predict the Carcass Composition of Lambs [PDF]

The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate models for predicting the carcass composition of lambs. Forty male lambs of two different breeds were included in our analysis. The lambs were slaughtered and their hot carcass weight was obtained.

Conventional and deep-litter pig production systems: the effects on fat deposition and distribution in growing female large white X landrace pigs [PDF]

, 2008
Minimising variability in carcass quality to better meet market specifications is a priority for Australian pig producers, however issues with variability in carcass fat distribution have recently been raised, particularly in the belly primal.

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

MicroRNA‐Seq Analysis Reveals a Critical Role for miR‐222 in Bovine Intramuscular Adipogenesis via the DDIT4/mTORC1 Axis

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Schematic diagram illustrating how miR‐222 promotes bovine intramuscular adipogenesis by targeting DDIT4 to activate the mTORC1 signaling pathway. ABSTRACT Intramuscular fat (IMF) is a key determinant of beef quality, particularly with respect to tenderness, flavor, and juiciness.

Does the chicken genotype ‘Géline de Touraine’ have specific carcass and meat characteristics?

Animal, 2009
The aim of this study was to determine the specific characteristics of carcass and meat from an old French chicken breed, the ‘Géline de Touraine’ (GT), characterised by a very slow-growing rate and usually slaughtered at 120 days of age.
