Salmonella and Campylobacter cause foodborne enteritis mainly via the consumption of raw/undercooked contaminated poultry meat and products. Broiler flocks are primarily colonized with these bacteria; however, the underlying etiology remains unclear. The present study was conducted in order to obtain further information on the prevalence and genotypic distribution of Salmonella and Campylobacte...

BACKGROUND Ascites syndrome is currently a serious disease issue for the global chicken industry. Ascites syndrome is a metabolic disorder frequently found in fast growing broilers including abdominal distention and standing fluid collection in chicken abdomen. It is one of the most common nutrition metabolic disorders. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, the clinical diagnosis technology of...

We present Deep Start, a new algorithm for automated performance diagnosis that uses stack sampling to augment our search-based automated performance diagnosis strategy. Our hybrid approach locates performance problems more quickly and finds problems hidden from a more straightforward search strategy. Deep Start uses stack samples collected as a by-product of normal search instrumentation to fi...

The social context of eating has a profound effect on consumption choices. Social modeling, that involves using others’ behavior as guide for appropriate consumption, been well documented food intake, but less is known about modeling Moreover, mainly studied in laboratory settings. We conducted an observational study self-service canteen to examine whether the choices individual were influenced...

A study with organic broilers with access to a large range area with herbs was performed and the effect of three broiler genotype (JA757, T851, SU51) with different growth rates and different feeding strategies (HP vs LP) on the animals' feed intake, growth and welfare was investigated. The results so far indicate that feed intake from range and animal welfare is dependent on type of allocated ...

OBJECTIVES This study investigated the occurrence of extended spectrum cephalosporinase (ESC)-producing Escherichia coli in a broiler production with no cephalosporin use and a low use of antimicrobials in general. Furthermore, it investigated whether the current consumption of aminopenicillins selects for ESC-producing E. coli and whether certain clones or plasmids spread from imported parent ...
