A large number of studies on a lkaline phosphatase (AP) of chicken plasma have been made during the past forty years. Most of those studies are on the enzymic activity and the polymorphic studies are relatively few . In most of the polymorphic studies of chicken plasma AP, a starch gel electrophoresis has been employed. Major results by other investigators'"' may be summarized as follows. AP co...

background and objectives: varicella–zoster virus (vzv) is a human herpes virus that usually attacks young children and commonly causes chicken pox (varicella). following primary infection, a lifelong latent infection is established. the virus often reactivates during adulthood or senesces to cause shingles (zoster). little is known regarding the genotypes of varicella in kuwait. the aim of thi...

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) is an adaptor that functions downstream of retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I) in mammalian cells; however, RIG-I is absent in chickens. We identified chicken STING (chSTING) as a critical mediator of virus-triggered type I IFN signaling in RIG-I-null chicken cells. Overexpression of chSTING in DF-1 cells inhibited Newcastle disease virus and avian influenza v...

Chicken has been used as a suitable model for lipid metabolism studies, because dietary modifications especially dietary fat type can change chicken body composition. Fats act as a condense source of energy and certain fatty acids such as polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are required for both animal and human health. The n-3 PUFAs, especially, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic ...

Domestic chicken (Gallus domesticus) is one type of poultry that has experienced domestication and spread throughout the archipelago. Chicken consumed by humans should be in a healthy condition free from various types parasites. Information about infected with parasites needed to maintain animal health prevent occurrence zoonotic diseases. Research been carried out on Karang Bongkot Village, La...

The essential catalytic base at the active site of the glycolytic enzyme triosephosphate isomerase is the carboxylate group of Glu-165, which directly abstracts either the 1-pro-R proton of dihydroxyacetone phosphate or the 2-proton of (R)-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate to yield the cis-enediol intermediate. Using the methods of site-directed mutagenesis, we have replaced Glu-165 by Asp. The three ...

Genome sequences of Campylobacter jejuni FJ3124 and ZP3204 isolated from retail chicken gizzards and Campylobacter jejuni TS1218 isolated from retail chicken showed the presence of 1,694,324-, 1,763,161-, and 1,762,596-bp circular chromosomes, respectively. Campylobacter jejuni ZP3204 and TS1218 harbored large tetracycline resistance plasmids with type IV secretion systems.

Abstract Kampung Super chicken as meat type is an animal protein resource whose demand increases every year. The taste of much more delicious and preferred by consumers. However, some disadvantage traits such low productivity, not uniform performances, cannibalism are still found in population. Therefore, to improve the performance chicken, utilization prebiotic from a potential natural source ...
