Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study explored fasting‐induced physiological remodeling effects on meat quality in aged laying hens. Fasting for 15 days (F15) significantly reduced abdominal fat, intermuscular fat width, subcutaneous fat thickness, and liver index versus pre‐fasting (F0) (p < 0.05), which recovered post‐refeeding.

Growth Rate and Plumage Color in Chickens
Poultry Science, 1956 Abstract THE I-gene, an inhibitor of black (melanin) color, is currently being used in the development of the popular “dominant white” crossbreds for broiler production. Since none of the competitive meat strains posessed this gene, poultry breeders have introduced it into sire lines by crossbreeding.

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.Heat stress disrupts gut microbial balance in poultry, impairing nutrient absorption and immunity. This review outlines the interplay between thermal stress and microbiome dynamics and discusses integrative mitigation strategies, probiotics, phytogenics, cooling systems, and genetic adaptation to enhance poultry resilience.

Marine silicon for biomedical sustainability
BMEMat, EarlyView.Schematic illustrating marine silicon for biomedical engineering. Abstract Despite momentous divergence from oceanic origin, human beings and marine organisms exhibit elemental homology through silicon utilization. Notably, silicon serves as a critical constituent in multiple biomedical processes.

The costs of extra‐pair behaviours in birds
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Extra‐pair behaviours – reproductive behaviours, including those related to copulation and paternity of offspring, amongst animals outside of a social pair bond – have long intrigued behavioural ecologists, particularly from the female animal's perspective.

Identification of polymorphisms in and genes and their associations with plumage colors in Asian duck breeds [PDF]
Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2018 Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the melanogenesis associated transcription factor (MITF) and dopachrome tautomerase (DCT) genes on plumage coloration in Asian native duck breeds ...
