White egg contains the most significant protein source that has been explored to give more benefit for health purposes. This study evaluated potential of antibacterial and antioxidant activity white hydrolysate extracted from Indonesian avian eggs. The materials used local chicken eggs (kampung chicken), breed eggs, duck muscovy was by organic solvent produced which dominated ovalbumin ovotrans...

Chicken is the most common poultry species and is important to human societies. Tibetan chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) is a breed endemic to China that is distributed mainly on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. However, its origin has not been well characterized. In the present study, we sequenced partial mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region of 239 and 283 samples from Tibetan and Sichuan indi...

The insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) regulates growth, protein synthesis, and cell proliferation and differentiation in vertebrates. Polymorphisms of IGF-I gene transcripts of three breeds of chicken were assessed. The associations of these polymorphisms with the growth rate of the studied breeds were also evaluated. Total RNA was isolated from chicken livers, and the IGF-I gene was amplifi...

Objective: To determine the effect of nicotine and camellia sinensis (green tea) on the developing epiphyseal plate of thigh bone of chick. Design: Randomized controlled trial. Place and Duration of Study: Army medical college, Rawalpindi, Pakistan from April 2012 to May 2012. Material and Method: Freshly laid fertilized eggs of Fayoumi breed chick eggs were selected at zero hour of incubation....

Hereditary, persistent, right oviduct manifested in an inbred line (PNP/DO line) from the Fayoumi breed of chickens was investigated for form of expression and mode of inheritance. Females in the PNP/DO line have varying lengths of elongated right oviducts, besides the normal left ovary, and oviducts that generally possess, irrespective of their total length, regions similar to those normally o...

This study was conducted to compare the gene expression profiles, after Eimeria maxima infection, between 2 B-complex congenic lines of Fayoumi chickens that display differences in disease resistance and innate immunity against avian coccidiosis using cDNA microarray. When compared with uninfected controls using a cutoff of >2.0-fold alteration (P < 0.05), M5.1 demonstrated altered expression o...

Campylobacter jejuni is the leading cause of bacterial food-borne infection; chicken meat is its main source. C. jejuni is considered commensal in chickens based on experimental models unrepresentative of commercial production. Here we show that the paradigm of Campylobacter commensalism in the chicken is flawed. Through experimental infection of four commercial breeds of broiler chickens, we s...
