Characterization of the cecal microbiome composition of Nigerian indigenous chickens

Tropical Animal Health and Production, 2022
Poultry cecum microbes are dynamic and complex. They play important roles in disease prevention, detoxification of harmful substances, nutrient processing, and ingestion harvesting. It may be possible to increase poultry productivity by better understanding and controlling the microbial population.

Morphobiometrical characteristics of indigenous chicken ecotype populations in Rwanda

Tropical Animal Health and Production, 2020
The rational of conservation and sustainable use of indigenous chicken (IC) resources requires their morphobiometrical characterisation. This study morphobiometrically characterised the IC ecotypes in Rwanda. The morphological features and zoometric measurement data were randomly collected on 1670 mature IC of both sexes from five ecotypes of Rwanda ...

Serological Screening for MHC (B)-Polymorphism in Indigenous Chickens

Tropical Animal Health and Production, 2005
As part of a series of studies to characterize innate and specific immune responses of indigenous chicken lines, birds from Bolivia and India were screened serologically for MHC class IV (BG) polymorphism by direct haemagglutination using haplotype-specific antisera (B2, B4, B12, B13, B14, B15, B19, B21).

Genetic Diversity of Indigenous Chickens in Cameroon

2012
Over time, the adaptation to harsh environmental conditions by the indigenous chickens resulted in a huge genetic potential that goes beyond the mere short-term objectives of sources of income, food protein, and other relevant social practices. This type of poultry is challenged yearly by many epizooties that disseminate over 80% of the national flock ...

Indigenous Ducks are Better Reservoirs of P. multocida than Indigenous Chickens

2007
Two experiments were performed to study cross infections from chickens to ducks and vice versa. For each experiment the source birds (chickens or ducks) were infected with Pasteurella multocida strain 10322T. The infected birds were then mixed with sentinel indigenous ducks or chickens, respectively, six hours after inoculation.

Detection of avian nephritis virus and chicken astrovirus in Nigerian indigenous chickens

2014
Avian nephritis virus (ANV) and chicken astrovirus (CAstV) are widely distributed in poultry flocks worldwide, causing growth retardation. However, these avian astroviruses have not been previously diagnosed in poultry species in Nigeria. Real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (rRTPCR) and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain ...
