Growth patterns of Italian local chicken populations.
Predictions of growth are important factors that contribute to the profitability of an operation in poultry production. Modern commercial hybrids have a higher body growth in comparison with the local purebreds. However a niche market for meat and egg poultry production needs to be established using local purebreds to promote biodiversity. The aim of this study was to model the growth response ...
متن کاملRegionalized growth patterns of young chicken corneas.
PURPOSE Extracellular matrix (ECM) accumulation, synthesis, and degradation were compared in central and peripheral corneal regions of 3-week-old chicks to identify regional differences within the cornea. METHODS For collagen accumulation experiments, corneas were isolated at the scleral junction, the epithelium was removed, and the central corneal region was isolated from the peripheral regi...
متن کاملVariation of genetic diversity over time in local Italian chicken breeds undergoing in situ conservation.
The aim of this study was to analyze the variation of different genetic diversity measures in 5 Italian local chicken breeds over a 4-yr period of conservation. The local breeds were Ermellinata di Rovigo, Padovana, Pépoi, Robusta Lionata, and Robusta Maculata. A total of 368 samples were chosen for the analysis among the birds hatched in the years 2002 and 2006. Genetic variation over 30 micro...
متن کاملCarcase characteristics and qualitative meat traits of three Italian local chicken breeds.
1. An experiment involving 60 male chickens reared in an organic production system was carried out in order to investigate carcase characteristics and qualitative meat traits of three slow-growing Italian local breeds of chicken (Ermellinata, Padovana and Pepoi). 2. Chicks were randomly selected at hatch, raised together under the same conditions, slaughtered at 190 d of age, dissected for carc...
متن کاملAdenoviral gizzard erosions in Italian chicken flocks.
TYPE 1 avian adenoviruses belong to the genus Aviadenovirus within the adenovirus family. Five species of fowl adenovirus (fAdV) (designated by the letters A to E) are recognised within the Aviadenovirus genus based largely on molecular criteria, in particular restriction enzyme fragmentation patterns and sequencing data (McFerran and McConnel Adair 2003). fAdV are common infectious agents in p...
