The present paper reports on the IgA, IgG and IgM antibodies secreting cells (ASC) in the spleen of chickens vaccinated with E. tenella (local isolates) gametocyte vaccine(s) by using Enzyme Linked Immunospot (ELISPOT) assay. Irrespective of the vaccine used, the number of IgG antibody secreting cells (ASC) in the spleen of orally vaccinated chickens was higher than the number of IgA and IgM AS...

The present study was carried out to introduce foreign DNA from pituitary gland of broiler breeder chickens (BBDNA) or Japanese quails (JQ-DNA) individually into the embryonic cell of Gimmizah chickens, in order to determine the effect of transformed chicken embryos with foreign DNA on blood hematology and biochemical traits, as well as semen characteristics. The results revealed that : 1There ...

This review analyzes the processes of phenotypic and morpho-biometric characterization West African local chicken. Data were collected on a set 44 articles, other reference documents used to analyze discuss data collected. Existing studies molecular chicken populations in Africa indicate presence wide variety plumage colors conformations, intra-population genetic diversity. However, none these ...

A total of twenty-six local chickens were representing shank feathering and non-feathering used to sequence five QTLs, which associated with feather trait in chicken. The location results shown polymorphism between the shank. All candidate markers differed big distance was (ADL221), less marker MCW315.

We investigated the site occupancy dynamics of greater prairie-chickens at Konza Prairie Biological Station, a protected site in northeastern Kansas that is managed for ecological research. We surveyed the site during mid-Mar to mid-May, 1981–2008, and recorded detections of birds in a grid of 6.3 ha survey plots (n 1⁄4 187 plots). We used multiseason occupancy models to estimate the probabilit...

The aim of this research was to evaluate the effects of Chinese herbal medicine on blood profiles, muscle fatty acid, free amino acid and inosine composition in Wenchang chickens (the Chinese local breed). One hundred twenty, one-day-old female Wenchang chickens were randomly distributed into two dietary treatments in five replicates, each containing twelve birds for a period of 135 days. The d...
