the aim of current study was to investigate the nucleotide sequence of seven trna genes in mitochondrial gene of khorasan’s native chicken and identification of possible mutations in it. for performing it, this part of the gene was cloned using the specific amplification initiators and cloned in the plasmid ptg19-t vector in dh5α strain of e-coli after the sampling and extracting the dna from w...

background and objectives: poultry are more susceptible to receiving and spreading of fungal infections in exact condi- tions. the goal of this study was to identify the normal fungal flora and dermatophytes agent of the combs and wattles of adult native chickens in tehran, iran. materials and methods: a total of 150 combs and wattles samples were collected by skin scraping or brushing of the m...

in order to perform breeding programs and improve production of native chickens, preserving genetic diversity in different areas of iran is important due to the reduced available population. genome sequencing is considered the most functional approach to determine the phylogeny relation between close populations. the aim of the present study was the evaluation of the phylogeny and genetic nucle...

The use of Korean native chicken is increasing, and the discovery of new genetic resources is very important from both economic and genetic conservation points of view. In this study, mtDNA D-loop sequences from 272 privately-owned Korean native chickens from a Hyunin farm were investigated. Seventeen nucleotide substitutions were identified from the sequence analysis and they were classified a...

the main aim of this research was to estimate the genetic and phenotypic parameters for productive and reproductive traits of esfahan native chickens. traits included body weights at hatch (bw1), 8 weeks of age (bw8), 12 weeks of age (bw12), and at sexual maturity (wsm)], age at sex maturity (asm), egg number (en), average egg weight (aew) in the first 12 weeks of production, and egg production...

in the present study, the polymorphism of myostatin gene (mstn) in native chickens of western azerbaijan rearing and breeding institute was investigated. the blood samples were collected from eighty two randomly selected hens. genomic dna was extracted from blood samples and a fragment of myostatin including 599 bp in promoter and exon 1 was amplified using pcr method. breeding values for body ...

The efficacy of probiotics as alternatives to antibiotics has been defined as one of the potential strategies to prevent Salmonella spp. infection in poultry. The purpose of this study was to isolate probiotic native Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) with high compatibility to intestinal tract and prevention of Salmonella typhimuriumfrom broiler chicken feces. Thirty-seven samples of...

Background and Aims: Finding prevalence of chicken anemia virus (CAV) infection in native chickens is necessary to avoid transmission of infection to commercial flocks. In this paper we attempt to describe molecular detection of chicken anemia virus in native Larry-breed chickens in Chaharmahal-va-Bakhtiyari province in Iran for the first time. Materials and Methods: Blood samples were collect...

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 ...
