Development of the Chick Microbiome: How Early Exposure Influences Future Microbial Diversity
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]
Offspring ornamentation typically occurs in taxa with parental care, suggesting that selection arising from social interactions between parents and offspring may underlie signal evolution.

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