Physiological and behavioral responses to transportation stress were examined in a chicken strain selected for high group productivity and survivability (HGPS) resulting from reduced cannibalism and flightiness in colony cages and in chickens from Dekalb XL (DXL) commercial strain. At 13 wk of age, 96 pullets per strain were randomly assigned to 4-bird cages within the same strain. At 17 wk of ...

Very low density apolipoprotein-II (apoVLDL-II) is a major constituent of very low density lipoprotein and is involved in lipid transportation in chickens. The current study was designed to investigate the associations of an apoVLDL-II gene polymorphism on chicken growth and body composition traits. The Iowa Growth and Composition Resource Population was established by crossing broiler sires wi...

this study was conducted at beresa watershed district of guraghe administrative zone, the southern regional state of ethiopia to evaluate the on-farm reproductive and egg production performances of local kei and its f1 crosses with fayoumi and rhode island red (rir) chicken breeds under farmers’ management. the local kei paternal line was mated with maternal lines of fayoumi and rir chickens to...

Small and medium-sized companies, in particular small local shops, suffer from increased competition via e-commerce channels, e.g. by Amazon and its same day delivery services. Consequently, local shops need delivery options to remain competitive. However, available delivery options such as express delivery are too expensive. A crowd-based delivery platform that leverages free capacity of cars ...

in this paper, we develop a freight transportation model for railway network considering hazmat transportation issue. in the transportation system considered, different customers can request for carrying hazmat and non- hazmat boxes. it is assumed that the sequence of the trains in the network is known. the objective is assigning the non-hazmat boxes and hazmat boxes to wagons of the trains so ...

Incubation and hatching commonly takes places at hatcheries, separate from the grow-out facilities where broiler chicks are raised. This means that sorted transported immediately after hatch, during which time they typically do not have access to feed water, subjected transport stress. Recently, innovative housing systems being developed in fertilized eggs on embryonic day 18 (E18) hatchery fac...

This study aims to compare the hierarchical cluster analysis method classify value of trading and transportation margin (MPP) into three groups, each with specific characteristics for commodity strategy. Cophenetic correlation shows that average is best classifying strategic MPPs in Indonesia 2021. Cluster 1 has moderate shallots, rice, purebred chicken. At same time, Red Chili low MPP this clu...

chicken anemia virus was detected by pcr in tissue samples collected from poultry flocks in gujarat,india. the vp1, vp2 and vp3 gene sequences of cav from anand, gujarat were obtained after cloning thepcr products in pdrive cloning vector. nucleotide sequence alignment with other cav sequencesdemonstrated overall identity of 95-98.8%, 98.8-99.8% and 98.8-100% for vp1, vp2 and vp3 regions,respec...

Food waste is one of the main problems contributing to climate change, as its piling up in landfills produces greenhouse gas methane. occurs at every stage food production; however, a major source businesses that supply consumers. Industry 4.0 technologies have shown promise helping reduce chains. However, more innovative technologies, such Raman spectroscopy, hold great waste, although this ha...
