The Effect of Natural Aromatase Blocker on the Growth Comb and Body Weight of Layer Chicken [PDF]
The aim of this research is to evaluate the effect of Anadara granosa shell powder as a natural aromatase blocker (NAB) and zinc sulfate (ZnSO4) on the growth of the length comb, width comb, and body weight (BW) of layer chicken.

Genetic variation in eggshell crystal size and orientation is large and these traits are correlated with shell thickness and are associated with eggshell matrix protein markers [PDF]
The size and orientation of calcium carbonate crystals influence the structure and strength of the eggshells of chickens. In this study, estimates of heritability were found to be high (0.6) for crystal size and moderate (0.3) for crystal orientation ...

The chicken embryo and its micro environment during egg storage and early incubation [PDF]
When egg storage periods are prolonged (>7 days), hatchability and chick quality declines. The reason for this decline has been investigated, but is still not completely understood.

Eimeria species occurrence varies between geographic regions and poultry production systems and may influence parasite genetic diversity [PDF]
Coccidiosis is one of the biggest challenges faced by the global poultry industry. Recent studies have highlighted the ubiquitous distribution of all Eimeria species which can cause this disease in chickens, but intriguingly revealed a regional divide in

Epigenetics and cell death: DNA hypermethylation in programmed retinal cell death. [PDF]
BackgroundVertebrate genomes undergo epigenetic reprogramming during development and disease. Emerging evidence suggests that DNA methylation plays a key role in cell fate determination in the retina.

Immunopathogenesis of Ascaridia galli infection in layer chicken
Gastro-intestinal nematode infections in mammals are associated with local T lymphocyte infiltrations, Th2 cytokine induction, and alterations in epithelial cell secretion and absorption. This study demonstrates that Ascaridia (A.) galli infection in chicken also elicits local gut-associated immune reactions and changes in the intestinal electrogenic ...

Comparison of Growth Curve in Male Layer Chickens
This study was aimed to obtain the growth curve of body weight in male layer chickens (Lohman MB 202) based on Logistic and Gompertz models. The frequently data of body weight from one day age to adult age were used for growth curve prediction. Total of one thousand birds from private sector poultry farm in Tasikmalaya Regency, Indonesia were used in ...

Currently, there is an intensive ethical discussion about the practice of culling day‐old layer cockerels. One solution to avoid this practice could be using dual‐purpose types, where males are fattened for meat and females used for egg production.
