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...

We have cloned and sequenced a chicken homolog to the mammalian interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta)-converting enzyme (caspase-1) cDNA and have evaluated caspase-1 mRNA expression in various tissues from the domestic hen, including ovarian follicle granulosa and theca layers. The deduced amino acid (aa) sequence of chicken caspase-1 is 44.9% identical to human caspase-1, and contains an active site pe...

Materials and Methods About 85% of chicken stock of India belongs to small sector which provides 50%of total egg production [1-3].Familychicken through the InternationalNetwork on Family Poultry Development (INFPD) was also committed by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) as a Special Programme for Food Security (SPFS) in the developing countries including India where backyard chicken p...

Casings are an essential component in the transformation of comminuted meat into a finished sausage. Their strength and texture ground determine “bite” perception when eating Traditionally, has been stuffed natural casings, but alternatives, such as cellulose co-extruded collagen casings emerging. Bovine hide split is primary source for casings. However, increase products consumption puts press...

Efficiently obtaining full-length cDNA for a target gene is the key step for functional studies and probing genetic variations. However, almost all sequenced domestic animal genomes are not 'finished'. Many functionally important genes are located in these gapped regions. It can be difficult to obtain full-length cDNA for which only partial amino acid/EST sequences exist. In this study we repor...

Laying hen meat is a food ingredient that contains high enough nutrition. The weakness of rejected laying hens the very tough, so it not accepted by most consumers. One way to make chicken attractive use as processed broth. Chicken and bones contain levels minerals fat, you need add apple cider vinegar remove these substances. This study aims determine chemical quality (fat content, ash pH) org...

Results In our cohort, 48% of patients were sensitized to egg white and yolk, while 52% were reacting to egg white exclusively. In allergen microarray, Gal d 1 and 2 were identified as major allergens for all patients, whereas Gal d 3-5 displayed high sensitization prevalence only in patients reacting to both egg components. Mean egg white-specific IgE was significantly higher in patients displ...

Dopamine (DA) and corticosterone (CORT) are involved in regulating animals’ response to stress. The objective of this study was to examine whether alterations of DA concentrations and adrenal function are associated with behavioral response to social stress in two strains of White leghorns hens that were selected for high (HGPS) and low (LGPS) group productivity and survivability resulting from...

An important source of human salmonellosis is the consumption of table eggs contaminated with Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis. Optimization of the various surveillance programs currently implemented to reduce human exposure requires knowledge of the dynamics of S. Enteritidis infection within flocks. The aim of this study was to provide parameter estimates for a transmission model of S....
