Blood Plasma Biomarkers for Woody Breast Disease in Commercial Broilers

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
Woody breast (WB) myopathy results in poor muscle quality. The increasing incidence of WB over the last several years indicates a need for improved prediction or early diagnosis.

Energy Restriction in Broiler Breeders during Rearing and Laying Periods and its Influence on Body Weight Gain, Conversion Efficiency of Nutrients, Egg Production and Hatchability

The Journal of Poultry Science, 2008
The effect of feeding measured energy (ME) allowances during rearing and laying periods on body weight (BW) gain, production performance and hatchability were evaluated in a female broiler parent line.

Elucidation of the genetic determination of clutch traits in Chinese local chickens of the Laiwu Black breed

BMC Genomics, 2023
Background Egg laying rate (LR) is associated with a clutch, which is defined as consecutive days of oviposition. The clutch trait can be used as a selection indicator to improve egg production in poultry breeding.

Effects of cyclic heat stress on the phenotypic response, meat quality and muscle glycolysis of breasts and thighs of yellow-feather broilers

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2019
An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of cyclic heat stress on phenotypic response, meat quality and muscle glycolysis of broiler. One hundred and eighty 35-day-old male Xueshan broilers with similar BW were randomly selected and exposed to

Use of Alimet® Feed Supplement (2-Hydroxy-4-(Methylthio) Butanoic Acid, HMTBA) for Broiler Production

The Journal of Poultry Science, 2004
Controversy about the efficacy of Alimet as a source of methionine arises from the fact that when it is ingested, it is fundamentally different from methionine.
