Antibiotic resistance of faecal enterococci in poultry, poultry farmers and poultry slaughterers [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2002
The prevalence of resistance in enterococci to antibiotics, commonly used for therapy in poultry or as antimicrobial growth promoters (AMGPs), was determined in faecal samples of two chicken populations: broilers in which antibiotic and AMGP use is common and laying-hens with a low antibiotic usage.

Optimizing the breeding strategy in Vanaraja female parent line chicken by monitoring the genetic variability for the major performance traits [PDF]

open access: yesAnimal Bioscience
Objective Vanaraja is a highly successful backyard chicken variety developed by crossing males of Vanaraja male line (PD-1) with females of Vanaraja female line (PD-2). Vanaraja was improved over the generations through selection in parent lines.

Genome-wide association study for carcase traits in spent hens at 72 weeks old

open access: yesItalian Journal of Animal Science, 2019
To determine the genetic architecture underlying spent hen carcase traits, especially in late laying, we used 1512 hens generated from Dongxiang Blue-Shelled and White Leghorn chickens to implement genome-wide association studies by high-density arrays ...

Effect of Supplemental Manganese on Mineral Uptake by Tissues and Immune Response in Broiler Chickens

open access: yesThe Journal of Poultry Science, 2006
Two feeding trials were simultaneously conducted using 240 and 120 broiler chicks (Hubbard) for evaluating the mineral retention by tissues and immune competence, respectively as influenced by manganese (Mn) levels in feed.

Transcriptome sequencing analysis of the role of miR-499-5p and SOX6 in chicken skeletal myofiber specification

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2022
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) might play critical roles in skeletal myofiber specification. In a previous study, we found that chicken miR-499-5p is specifically expressed in slow-twitch muscle and that its potential target gene is SOX6. In this study, we performed
