viral infections are the cause of great economic losses in the poultry industry. development of appropriate reagents and serological diagnostic kits will help to control these infections. the aim of this study is to prepare a peroxidase labeled anti-chicken igg using a mab (5b8) against chicken igg, for detection of chicken antibodies in elisa. hybridoma cells producing the mab 5b8 were culture...

salmonella     species show different disease syndromes and host specificity, according to their antigenic profile. salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium is one of the most frequently isolated serovar from foodborne outbreaks. poultry meat has been identified as one of the principal foodborne sources of salmonella. in this study, the effect of microwave treatment of chicken meat samples wh...

nitroimidazole compounds have been traditionally used in the veterinary and human medicine, but their uses are sometimes associated with some side effects. toxicopathological effects of nitroimidazoles have always been a major concern. there is scant information available about the pathological alterations of nitroimidazole compounds in the embryo. the objective of this study was to determine t...

This study was performed to evaluate the quality characteristics of three deboned categories of chicken thigh meat: one which was slaughtered and deboned in the same plant (fresh); one which was slaughtered, deboned, frozen, and thawed in the same plant (frozen-thawed); and the last which was slaughtered in a plant, deboned in a different plant, but then transferred to the original plant (fresh...

conclusions these results show that retail meat and vegetables can serve as a reservoir of multiple antimicrobial resistant salmonella and can probably be a potential route of transmission of these pathogens into human population. results the prevalence of salmonella in retail pork, chicken meat, and fresh vegetables were 82% (34/41), 67.5% (27/40), and 46% (37/80), respectively. the salmonella...

ABSTRACT- The aim of this study was to determine the quinolone residues in beef and chicken meat samples collected from Urmia region local markets.A total of 395 beef and chicken meat samples varied in three various brands were analyzed in Urmia, Iran by using a sensitive and reliable analytic method based on ELISA detection, for quantification of quinolone antibiotics residues.

Results with four pathogenic avian Escherichia coli isolates and one avirulent isolate in a complement resistance test, a chicken lethality test, and a chicken embryo lethality test were compared. Results of the complement resistance test with these isolates were highly correlated to results of the chicken lethality test of virulence. The chicken embryo test yielded results that were of a mediu...
