The objectives of the present study were the subtyping of Campylobacter jejuni subsp. jejuni strains obtained from humans and different animal species using PCR-RFLP, and the detection, by means of the same technique, of strains related to serotype PEN O19:LIO 7, the main C. jejuni serotype linked to Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS). Seventy C. jejuni strains isolated from human feces (n=33), prim...

This study determined the effect of feeding trough shapes on growth performance, carcass characteristics and cost benefit analysis 180 broiler chickens two strains (90 birds each Marshal Hubbard strains) subjected to circular, rectangular square-shaped 2 troughs with a surface area 900 cm each. The chicks were brooded for weeks thereafter allotted into six treatment groups 30 each, consisting 3...

Survival of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli isolated from broiler meat was investigated and modeled on retail breast meat. Meat portions were inoculated with C. jejuni or C. coli at 6.4 to 6.8 log CFU/g followed by storage at 220uC for 84 days or at 4 or 12uC for 14 days. Kinetic data within a species and temperature were fitted to the Weibull model. When $70% of the residuals were ...

Enteropatogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) and shigatoxigenic E. (STEC), are generally poultry product isolate can cause serious human infections. Many strains may become resistant to various antimicrobials, which hinder the treatment of bacterial diseases. Organic farming seeks avoid selection frequency antimicrobial-resistant bacteria. This study aims verify resistance EPEC STEC from organic con...

The emergence of avian diseases can cause major economic problems due to production losses and mortality in domestic poultry. Astrovirus is frequently associated with enteric poultry, being isolated from cases runting-stunting syndrome (RSS) broiler chickens, poult enteritis complex (PEC), (PEMS) turkeys. Avian astrovirus be detected chickens both healthy poorly performing flocks. In Malaysia, ...

The present study investigated and identified genetic diversity between native White chicken lines two commercial Broiler (Rose) Layer (Isa Brown) breeds using RAPD markers a sequencing technique. All primers applied produced 151 scorable bands with percentage polymorphic loci of 54.93 % within populations, as per the results marker. maximum amplified fragment by primer OPC-11 was 22 fewest OPA...
