The venom protein, s-echistatin, originally derived from the saw-scaled viper Echis carinatus, was found to be a potent inhibitor of bone resorption by isolated osteoclasts. This Arg24-Gly25-Asp26-(RGD)-containing protein inhibited the excavation of bone slices by rat osteoclasts (IC50 = 0.1 nM). It also inhibited the release of [3H]proline from labeled bone particles by chicken osteoclasts (IC...

The presence of native microflora is associated with increased variation of Salmonella growth among batches and portions of chicken meat and as a function of temperature. However, variation of Salmonella growth can be modeled using a 95% prediction interval (PI). Because there are no reports of predictive models for growth of Salmonella on ready-to-eat poultry meat products with native microflo...

A proteinase inhibitor which has strong anti-collagenase activity was found in chicken egg white. The inhibitor (pI = 4.9) was purified by poly(ethylene glycol) (5.5-10%) precipitation and chromatography on Ultrogel AcA 34, DEAE-cellulose, and Sephacryl S-300. The final product was homogeneous on 5% polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Stoichiometric inhibition was observed with the inhibitor an...

background: major histocompatibility complex (mhc) plays a central role in regulation and control of the immune responses to infectious diseases. due to its polymorphism, individual differences in response to vaccines have been observed in different chicken populations. studying the association of chicken mhc with immune response to vaccines will help the control of infectious disease and vacci...

BACKGROUND In previous studies, the Mx Gene has been demonstrated to confer positive anti viral responses in chicken. The amino acid variation of Asn (allele A) at position 631 was specific to positive antiviral Mx/resistant, while, that of Ser (allele G) was specific to negative Mx/susceptible. This research was aimed at selecting one of the native chicken breeds which was found out to be resi...

Cultivation of chicken Kampung Unggul Balitnak (KUB) is carried out with the aim meeting community’s need free native meat. Through Partnership Community Program (PKM) training activities for KUB cultivation based and fermented feed were out, which in this activity began Socialitization Chicken covering maintenance, feeding disease prevention. The system that applied to partner's livestock grou...

Procedures are described for the dissociation of histones H1 and H5 from chicken reticulocyte chromatin without disruption of the native core histone-DNA complex. The comparative properties of native and depleted chromatin with respect to sedimentation, thermal denaturation, and sensitivity to nuclease digestion have been studied. The changes in these properties resulting from removal of the li...

Ayam Kampung Unggul Balitnak (KUB) is the result of selecting native Indonesian kampong chicken strains for six generations that have advantages in terms maintenance due to level feed consumption less. The aim this research was effect soybean flour on performances Superior Kampong Chicken (KUB). This study used a completely Randomised Design consisting 5 treatments and 4 replicates. consisted T...

Chicken growth hormone (cGH), a polypeptide hormone synthesized in and secreted by the pituitary gland, is involved in a wide variety of physiological functions such as growth, body composition, egg production, aging, and reproduction. Chicken growth hormone polymorphisms have been reported to be associated with certain phenotypes. Our objective is to investigate the GH gene polymorphism in sel...

Salmonellosis is a disease of human beings, cattle, sheep, goat, pigs and chicken including duck and is manifested clinically in all hosts by one of three major syndromes: a peracute systemic infection, acute enteritis or chronic enteritis. But the clinical signs may vary from species to species1. Human infections with Salmonella have been increasing worldwide since 1980 and have been shown to ...
