Basic physiology, hematology and serum chemistry of indigenous chicken, reared in eco-friendly environment of backyard of small farmers in temperate regions of J and K State (altitude range 1500-2000 m amsl, average temperature 13°C), was studied in adult chicken from different pockets of Kashmir. The average values for haemoglobin (Hb), Packed Cell Volume (PCV), Total Leukocyte Count (TLC), To...

Beneficial effects of ammonium hydroxide was studied, to optimize the ammonium hydroxide concentration for effective tenderization of spent hen meat. Spent hen meat chunks were subjected to ammonium hydroxide treatment (AHT) at different concentrations (0%, 0.1%, 0.5% and 1.0% v/w) and evaluated for different quality parameters after 24 hours. The results indicated a significant increase in pH,...

One of the variants native chicken that is quite potential to be developed in Indonesia KUB chicken. The quality and production free-range eggs can increased by providing feed. alternative source feed use Indigofera zollingeriana leaves. This study aims determine increase egg internal adding Leaf Flour (ILF) rations. used a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting 5 treatments, namely R0 (...

Normal and starved adult chickens were injected intraperitoneally with D-galactosamine hydrochloride (0.5 g/kg body weight) and 6 h later liver chromatin acid-soluble proteins were isolated. These proteins were resolved by a two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of non-ionic detergent, Triton X-100, in the first dimension and anionic detergent, sodium dodecyl sulfat...

BACKGROUND Salmonella propagation by apparently healthy chicken and subsequent food security concerns could be decreased by the selection and use of chicken lines more resistant to carrier-state. In the present study we applied the first steps of the genomic selection methodology to assess the interest of including genetic markers for the genetic evaluation of hen lines infected with Salmonella...

Specific cell-surface receptors mediate the uptake of plasma proteins into growing oocytes of oviparous species, thereby forming yolk. Quantitatively the most important yolk precursors are the lipoproteins, very low density lipoprotein, and vitellogenin. We show that a single major chicken oocyte plasma membrane protein with an apparent molecular mass of 95 kDa as determined by SDS/PAGE under n...

Increasing consumption of chicken products in Iran makes it very important to analyze their residual heavy metal contents; therefore, the present study has been conducted to determine Pb, Cd, Cr, and Cu in commercial hen eggs, marketed in the city of Hamedan in 2016. In this descriptive study, a sum of 27 samples of hen eggs has been collected from the Hamedan City's market. After preparation a...

Estimation of initial rates The vast majority of enzyme kinetic analyses presented in the literature involve the measurement and analysis of initial rates; this is so because the interpretation of properly estimated initial rates is a relatively robust procedure. It is, however, not infrequent to find that it is difficult to obtain good estimates of initial rates owing to premature curvature of...

Although the negative selection of self-reactive B cells in the bone marrow of mammals has been clearly demonstrated, it remains unclear in models of gut-associated B cell lymphopoiesis, such as that of the chicken (Gallus gallus). We have generated chicken surface IgM-related receptors in which the diversity region of the lamprey variable lymphocyte receptor (VLR) has been fused to the C regio...
