Subgroup J avian leucosis virus (ALV-J) causes great economic losses in the poultry industry. One in 3 grandparent farms was closed due to ALV-J infection in 1998 in Taiwan. The remaining 2 farms were forced to import breeding chicks from different breeding companies afterwards. We report on the ALV-J infection status among these breeders, their progeny and Taiwan native chickens during 2000-20...

The efficiency of insertion and/or deletion (indels) polymorphisms as genetic markers was evaluated by genotyping 102 indels loci in native chicken populations from Myanmar and Indonesia as well as Red jungle fowls and Green jungle fowls from Java Island. Out of the 102 indel markers, 97 were polymorphic. The average observed and expected heterozygosities were 0.206 to 0.268 and 0.229 to 0.284 ...

Simaraks, S., Chinrasri, O. and Aengwanich, S. Hematological, electrolyte and serum biochemical values of the Thai indigenous chickens (Gallus domesticus) in northeastern, Thailand Songklanakarin J. Sci. Technol., 2004, 26(3) : 425-430 Thai indigenous chickens (Gallus domesticus) have been domesticated in rural villages in Thailand for a long time. These birds are important to low-income people...

The aims of this study were to compare the promoter sequence of the mannose-binding lectin (cMBL) gene in Iranian native and commercial chicken strains; as well as to compare the cMBL gene expression in crossbred and inbred chickens. In total 79 native (Western Azerbaijan native fowls, WANF) and 49 commercial (Arian Commercial Strain, ACS) birds were reared as parents under same management prac...

In ovo feeding is one way to increase poultry productivity by providing additional nutrition during the incubation period and can embryo growth. Many implementations of in-ovo techniques have been carried out on various types poultry, but a summary use has never reported, therefore this study was conducted. This review article aims determine in poultry. conducted based literature studies analyz...

Rice bran is one of the feed ingredients that cheap, easy to obtain and its availability does not compete with human needs. The nutritional content good enough be used as animal feed, especially native chickens, but rice has a very high crude fiber content. purpose Bran Fermentation Training Using EM4 for Village Chicken Feed help farmers provide cheap quality simple innovations through ferment...

Currently, the use of herbal leaves is increasingly being used to improve performance and health poultry. Herbal contain phytochemical compounds that can promote growth This study aims examine effect giving Indigofera zollingeriana leaf aqueous extract (ILE) via drinking water from 2-10 weeks age on carcass characteristics native chickens. a completely randomized design with four treatments 5 r...

Biliverdin is an important pigment in the eggshell of chickens and other avian species. Determination of the biosynthesis site for biliverdin is essential for understanding the biochemical process and genetic basis of eggshell pigmentation. Either blood or the shell gland could be the biosynthesis site of eggshell biliverdin. A segregation population with full-sib sisters genotyped Oo and oo, w...

Immunostimulating complexes (ISCOMs) are unique multimolecular structures formed by encapsulating antigens, lipids and triterpene saponins and are one of the most successful antigen delivery systems for microbial antigens. In the current study, both the route of administration and the antigen concentration of ISCOMs, containing Eimeria tenella antigens and saponins from native plants, were eval...
