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

Animal 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.

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.

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.

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

Italian 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 ...

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

Frontiers 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

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

The 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.

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
