Marination with marinade containing salt, sugar, and acetic acid is commonly used in Finland to enhance the value of raw broiler meat. In this study, we investigated the effect of marination, marinade components and storage time on composition of bacterial communities in modified atmosphere-packaged (MAP) broiler fillet strips. The communities were characterized using two culture-independent me...

The research objective was to compare the application of FMS (Farm Management System) and a manual system based on perception farm officers at Grand Parent Stock Berdikari Lebak Unit. This conducted from 18 January 2021 February Data were obtained by purposive sampling with 30 respondents Farm officers, which include Head Unit, Officer, Operators. In addition, data also interviews employees in ...

Broiler chickens aged 40 and 46-days-old from two neighboring flocks belonging to a commercial broiler complex, presenting facial edema, severe respiratory signs and 10% mortality were analyzed. Pneumonic lesions and opaque thoracic and abdominal air sacs with foamy exudate were seen at postmortem examination. Histopathology of lungs showed fibrinoheterophilic pneumonia in both cases. Small pin...

The studies were performed on samples of broiler carcasses from 13 different Bulgarian poultry slaughterhouses in 2008. Neck skin samples from 327 chilled broilers were examined for presence of Salmonella spp. All isolates were serologically typed. Positive samples were 86/327 or 26.29% of all studied broiler carcasses. Contaminated samples originated more frequently from South Bulgaria as comp...

The feed restriction program is on of the main techniques in growth curve manipulation for increasing production efficiency in broiler chicken. Quantities and qualitative feed restriction are procedures that can be used to manipulate the feeding strategies of poultry in order to decrease growth and metabolic rate to some extent and so alleviate the incidence of some metabolic diseases such as a...

The BioSamples Database aggregates information for reference samples (such as cell lines or stock strains), as well as samples for which data exist in one of the EBI's other data resources (e.g. ArrayExpress [2], the European Nucleotide Archive [3], PRIDE [4]). Samples are described with a set of annotations. These annotations can be linked to ontology [5] (or controlled vocabulary [6]) terms, ...

Economic pressure on the modern poultry industry has directed the selection process towards fast-growing broilers that have a reduced feed conversion ratio. Selection based heavily on growth characteristics could adversely affect immune competence leaving chickens more susceptible to disease. Since the innate immune response directs the acquired immune response, efforts to select poultry with a...

Drastic genetic changes have occurred in many commercial broiler lines during the last years with regard to performance. This genetic improvement needs a corresponding adjustment of our knowledge about amino acid nutrition in broilers. Additionally, today broiler feed formulators are not only focused on minimising the costs. They also have to take into consideration environmental issues and the...

The aim of the present work is to make a review on the literature concerning the incidence of some major pathologies of leg skeleton in broiler chickens and broiler breeders, related to poor animal welfare. On the basis of data on the incidence of leg skeletal pathology published by us and by other researchers, this review goes through some reports on femoral head necrosis (FHN), tibial dyschon...

Contrary to a commonly held belief that broiler chickens need more space, there is increasing evidence that these birds are attracted to other birds. Indeed, commercially farmed birds exhibit a range of socially facilitated behaviours, such as increased feeding and preening in response to the presence of other birds. Social facilitation can generate feedback loops, whereby the adoption of a par...
