ABSTRACT. A simple analytical method for the extraction and determination of three β-lactam antibiotics in chicken tissues feather samples was developed validated using solid phase (SPE) liquid chromatography-ultraviolet, LC-UV, detection. The analytes were extracted with strong anion exchange (SAX) cartridges extract clean-up enrichment before introduction into LC system. validation carried ou...

The association of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) polymorphism with growth trait was investigated in native Desi chicken of Pakistan. The present study was conducted at Animal Genetics Laboratory of Department of Livestock Production, UVAS Lahore. Fifty Desi chicken were procured from a conventional production farm situated in the vicinity of Ravi Campus for phenotypic and genotypic analy...

Cloning of human DCC (deleted in colorectal carcinoma, Fearon et al., 1990) showed that it is an immunoglobulin superfamily member homologous to neural cell adhesion molecules (N-CAM). To explore the normal function of this molecule, we have cloned a chicken homologue to DCC (cDCC) and raised an antibody to DCC. cDCC is a protein of 160 kDa with an expression pattern distinct from those of othe...

Thermal comfort is of great importance in chickens to preserve body temperature homeostasis during the growth period and during environmental thermal challenges. Because surface temperatures contribute much to thermal comfort, this research is aimed at studying spatial distribution of surface temperatures of broiler chickens. For this purpose, temperatures of 26 different parts on the chicken b...
