data collected in 2012 on 400 chickens were subjected to two-way analyses of variance to estimatebody weight, morphometric traits as well as the correlationbetween body weight and morphometric traitsin isa brown and ilorin ecotypechickens. the studied morphometric traits were comb length, beak length,head length, neck length, body length, wing length, shank length, thigh length, toe length, bre...

objective: fungal agents cause disease in virtually any susceptible hosts. in the poultry production and medicine, pathogens were eliminated from a line of a breeder by injection of antifungals into hatching eggs. there is little information available describing the safety of the antifungal drugs on the birds embryonated eggs. the objective of this study was to investigate the efficiency of the...

background biosurfactants are surface-active compounds produced by some microorganisms. objectives in this study, we collected surface skin samples from breast of poultry (chicken, turkey, and, quail) and screened for biosurfactant-producing bacteria. we also determined the genera of cultured strains. materials and methods 33 hemolytic bacterial strains (15, 11, and 7 isolates from chicken, tur...

mass generation of bagasse wastes from every 100 kg of sago starch pith being processed are likely to pollute the water when they are discarded into rivers. the increase of livestock production increases manure production and improper management of these manures will pollute the soil and environment, and causing diseases outbreak. co-composting of sago bagasse and chicken manure could serve as ...

This paper presents an investigation of the microbiological quality of poultry meat sold on the Croatian market. Bacteriological analysis was performed on 66 samples of fresh, retail-cut chicken meat (21 samples of chicken breasts without skin “fillet”, and 19 samples of chicken breasts with skin) and frozen ground chicken meat (26 samples). Samples were collected from retailers (kept in coolin...

A consensus linkage map has been developed in the chicken that combines all of the genotyping data from the three available chicken mapping populations. Genotyping data were contributed by the laboratories that have been using the East Lansing and Compton reference populations and from the Animal Breeding and Genetics Group of the Wageningen University using the Wageningen/Euribrid population. ...

Present study was aimed to develop acceptable shelf stable chicken sausages using textured soya protein as a humectants and lactic acid as a acidulent along with the use of Nisin to extend the shelf life of hurdle treated chicken sausages. Chicken sausage was prepared from emulsion of minced and chopped meat along with addition of non meat ingredients such as textured soya protein including spi...

The authors introduce a new team game, the intergroup chicken game, to model intergroup conflicts involving bilateral threats (e.g., military conflicts, industrial disputes). The group that wins the game is the one that competes while the other group yields, and the benefits associated with winning (e.g., territory, higher wages) are public goods for the members of that group. However, a failur...
