Background The gut microbiota is increasingly recognized as a key regulator of host metabolic adaptation to environmental challenges. However, whether breed-specific gut microbiota contributes to variation in heat tolerance among poultry breeds remains unclear. This study used Cyan-shank partridge c...

The increasing cost of conventional feedstuffs has bolstered interest in genetic selection for digestive efficiency (DE), a component of feed efficiency, assessed by apparent metabolisable energy corrected to zero nitrogen retention (AMEn). However, its measurement is time-consuming and constraining...

Heat stress (HS) compromises poultry health by disrupting intestinal integrity and microbiota homeostasis. This study compared heat stress-susceptible (HS-SUS) and heat stress-resistant (HS-RES) White Leghorn chickens under chronic cyclic HS (35±2°C, 8 h/day). HS-RES chickens demonstrated superio...

H5N1 subtype highly pathogenic avian influenza virus has been spreading to Asia, Eurasia and African coutries. An original or six of recombinant H5N1 subtype influenza viruses with varying survivability were infected to chickens for elucidating genes correlated with pathogenicity. Two chickens were ...

Domestic chicken has been intensively studied because of its role as an efficient source of lean meat. However, commercial broilers resulting from genetic selection for rapid growth demonstrate detrimental traits, such as excess deposition of abdominal adipose tissue, metabolic disorders, and reduce...

In a respiratory-infection-model with the avian influenza A H9N2 virus, lung and splenic immune reactions in chickens were studied using a 5K chicken immuno-microarray. Groups of chickens were either mock-immunized (referred to as non-immune), vaccinated with inactivated viral antigen only (immune) ...

ISA Brown Warren medium heavy layer hens were divergently selected for 25 generations on their primary immune response. Two selection chicken lines were established: chickens with a high natural antibody response (H) and chicken with a low natural antibody response (L). Besides a control line of ran...

SPF leghorn chickens were infected with C. jejuni. The cecum were collected at 8h post infection for total RNA isolation. The significantly expressed microRNAs between infected and non-infected chickens were identified through Solexa sequencing technology. Two libraries were made from each group, in...

Free-range chickens were sampled from homesteads in South Africa where DDT is sprayed for malaria control. The purpose was to detect potential effects associated with contamination. Livers were sampled post-mortem & analysed for DDTs (DDT and metabolites) contamination. Samples from two birds were f...
