We have cloned and sequenced cDNAs corresponding to the complete coding regions of the chicken homologues to mammalian caspase-3 and caspase-6. Both caspases are included among members of the cysteine protease (caspase) family that are most closely identified with mediating apoptosis. The deduced amino acid sequences for chicken caspase-3 and -6 show 65% and 68% identity with the respective hum...

BACKGROUND Hen's egg allergy ranks among the most frequent primary food allergies in children. We aimed to investigate sensitization profiles of egg allergic patients and compare in vitro IgE reactivities of eggs from ancient chicken breeds (Araucana and Maran) with those from conventional laying hen hybrids. METHODOLOGY Egg allergic children (n = 25) were subjected to skin prick test, double...

Mapping the number and distribution of Salmonella on poultry carcasses will help guide better design of processing procedures to reduce or eliminate this human pathogen from poultry. A selective plating media with multiple antibiotics (xylose-lysine agar medium [XL] containing N-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine-N'-(2-ethanesulfonic acid) and the antibiotics chloramphenicol, ampicillin, tetracycline, ...

Laying hens are one of the producers animal protein through production eggs, eggs that contain many nutrients needed by body. The need for chicken in NTB 2019 reaches 1.3 million but regional layer hen breeders only able to produce as 6000 so meet government needs bring from other regions. also encourages people raise laying poultry village program, which is industrialization programs livestock...

Mapping the number and distribution of Salmonella on poultry carcasses will help guide better design of processing procedures to reduce or eliminate this human pathogen from poultry. A selective plating media with multiple antibiotics (xylose-lysine agar medium [XL] containing N-( 2-hydrox yethyl)piperazineN'(2ethanesujfonic acid) and the antibiotics chioramphenicol, ampiciflin, tetracycline, a...

Cage layer fatigue was first noticed after laying hens began to be housed in cages in the mid-20th century. Hens producing eggs at a high rate were most susceptible to the disease. Early research revealed that cage layer fatigue was associated with osteoporosis and bone brittleness. Severe osteoporosis leads to spontaneous bone fractures commonly in the costochondral junctions of the ribs, the ...

There is a paucity of information on the reproductive biology guinea hens. A study was conducted to document postembryonic developmental changes in ovarian histology and associated progesterone 17β-oestradiol profiles until 32 weeks age (WOA). Highly significant increases (p<0.001) were noticed oocyte follicular diameters beyond 16 WOA. Other morphometric traits showed inconsistent The first...
