Final Thesis Feto-Maternal Communication in Broiler Chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus)

Genetic characterization of Bhutanese native chickens based on an analysis of Red Junglefowl (Gallus gallus gallus and Gallus gallus spadecieus), domestic Southeast Asian and commercial chicken lines (Gallus gallus domesticus)

The genetic diversity of Bhutanese chickens needs to be understood in order to develop a suitable conservation strategy for these birds in Bhutan. In this, work, we used microsatellite markers to examine the genetic diversity of Bhutanese chickens. Four Bhutanese chicken varieties (Black plumage, Frizzle, Naked neck and Red Junglefowl-like, corresponding to Yuebjha Narp, Phulom, Khuilay and Sei...

Effects of the NO donors Sodium Nitroprusside and S-nitrosoglutathione on oxygen consumption and embryonic organ growth in the domestic broiler chicken, Gallus gallus domesticus

Microarray analysis revealed that immunity-associated genes are primarily regulated by roxarsone in promoting broiler chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) growth.

Addition of roxarsone can significantly improve the growth of broiler chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus). Nevertheless, this application will lead to the contamination of the environment as well as animal products. Understanding the response of genes to roxarsone may bring about the discovery of new, safer substitutes. In this study, we monitored the expression of 8,935 genes in chicken breast...

Microwave and Vacuum Assisted Fixation and Cytochemical Localization for Lungs of Chicken, Gallus domesticus

Proper fixation of lung tissue for morphological and cytochemical studies by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is difficult by conventional (perfusion and immersion) fixation processes. A broiler model (Gallus domesticus) of pulmonary hypertension was the source of lungs for this study. Microwave and intermittent vacuum were used in order to have better structural and enzymatic preservatio...
