Inflammation is homeostatic process associated with a variety of cellular injuries resulting from infections, toxicosis, and physical trauma. The studies on inflammation in avian species are limited. To understand the inflammation-induced changes, 4-wk-old male broiler chickens were subjected to experimental inflammation by a subcutaneous injection of croton oil (inflammatory) with changes in s...

objective: the purpose of the study was to evaluate the production of antibodies in serum as well as egg yolk raised against s. typhimurium and the cross-reactivity of this antibody with other enteric bacteria. materials and methods: white egg–laying hens were immunized with s. typhimurium, heat-killed whole cell, in freund's adjuvant. immunization was done with 107 conlony forming unit (cfu) o...

The newly designed and synthesized artificial anthracene derivatives possessing a deoxyamino sugar effectively and randomly cleaved proteins, such as bovine serum albumin (BSA) and hen egg lysozyme (Lyso), during photoirradiation using a long wavelength UV light (365 nm) without any further additives. Furthermore, it was found that the cleaving ability of anthracene could be improved by the att...

Serum biochemical and meat fatty acid profile of different chickens were studied. A total 144 mixed sex matured Cosmopolitan (C), Improved Horro (H), Cosmopolitan♂*Improved Horro♀(CH), Horro♂*Cosmopolitan♀ (HC), Indigenous (L) Koekkoek (KK) used to determine serum biochemical, which 36 also for study. Completely randomized design in 6 × 2 factorial arrangements was set up. profiles determined b...

This study aimed to disclose the effects of a new compound organic acidifier mixing with L-malic acid and L-lactic on broiler production. A total 1000 1-day-old Arbor acres chicks were randomly divided into two treatments 10 replicates each, 50 birds per replicate. The feeding trial lasted for 42 days. treatment group was offered 0.8% based control. growth performance chickens improved by treat...

Immunological reagents for wild, non-model species are limited or often non-existent for many species.In this study, we compare the reactivity of a new anti-passerine IgY secondary antibody with existing secondary antibodies developed for use with birds. Samples from 41 species from the following six avian orders were analysed: Anseriformes (1 family, 1 species), Columbiformes (1 family, 2 spec...
