Effect of vitamin E in ovo feeding to broiler embryos on hatchability, chick quality, oxidative state, and performance.

open access: yesPoultry Science, 2019
The objective of the present study was to ascertain the effect of in ovo feeding of vitamin E (VE) on the incubation results, quality, and oxidative state of newborn chicks and on the initial performance results. The design consisted of randomized blocks

Development of the Chick Microbiome: How Early Exposure Influences Future Microbial Diversity

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science, 2016
The concept of improving animal health through improved gut health has existed in food animal production for decades; however, only recently have we had the tools to identify microbes in the intestine associated with improved performance.

Extreme offspring ornamentation in American coots is favored by selection within families, not benefits to conspecific brood parasites [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Offspring ornamentation typically occurs in taxa with parental care, suggesting that selection arising from social interactions between parents and offspring may underlie signal evolution.

Blue Light Alters the Composition of the Jejunal Microbiota and Promotes the Development of the Small Intestine by Reducing Oxidative Stress

open access: yesAntioxidants, 2022
Environmental light has an important impact on the growth, development and oxidative stress of chicks. Thus, we investigated the effects of colored lights on microbes and explored the molecular mechanism by which external color light information alters ...

Molecular cloning and characterization of B-cadherin, a novel chick cadherin. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
Calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion is mediated in large part by a set of homologous integral membrane glycoproteins termed cadherins. In this report, antibodies to conserved domains in previously described cadherins have been used to isolate cDNAs ...

Antioxidant systems in chick embryo development. Part 1. Vitamin E, carotenoids and selenium

open access: yesAnimal Nutrition, 2016
Chick viability is known to be an important factor determining profitability of the poultry industry. Chick embryo tissues contain a high proportion of highly polyunsaturated fatty acids in the lipid fraction and therefore need antioxidant defence.

Comparison of synthetic membranes in the development of an in vitro feeding system for Dermanyssus gallinae [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Although artificial feeding models for the poultry red mite (Dermanyssus gallinae) most frequently use biological membranes consisting of day-old chick skin, there are ethical considerations associated with the use of skin.

Prospects for transgenesis in the chick [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Research to develop a useful method for genetic modification of the chick has been on-going since the first demonstrations in the mouse in the 1980s that genetic modification is an invaluable tool for the study of gene function. Manipulation of the chick
