Integrated genomic approaches to enhance genetic resistance in chickens.
The chicken has led the way among agricultural animal species in infectious disease control and, in particular, selection for genetic resistance. The generation of the chicken genome sequence and the availability of other empowering tools and resources greatly enhance the ability to select for enhanced disease resistance via genetic markers and to understand more deeply the biological basis of ...
متن کاملExperimental Uric Acid Nephritis in the Rabbit
Experimental uric acid lesions in the kidney of the rabbit have been reinvestigated using the technique of miscrodissection for location of lesions. The maximal initial lesion was found to occur in the first part of the collecting, and not in the ascending Henle and the distal convoluted tubule. Such lesions were only produced by very high dosage (approximately 0.5-1 gm. per kg.). It was conclu...
متن کاملUsing integrative genomics to elucidate genetic resistance to Marek's disease in chickens.
While rearing birds in confinement and at high density are very successful practices for producing poultry meat and eggs, these conditions may promote the spread of infectious diseases. Consequently, the poultry industry places greatemphasis on disease control measures, primarily at the animal husbandry level. The field of genomics offers great promise to complement these current control measur...
متن کاملRetrospective evidence that the MHC (B haplotype) of chickens influences genetic resistance to attenuated infectious bronchitis vaccine strains in chickens.
Infectious bronchitis is a respiratory disease of chickens that is caused by the coronavirus infectious bronchitis virus (IBV). Virtually all broiler and layer breeder flocks are routinely vaccinated against IBV. Two hatches of 1-day-old chicks from four lines were mistakenly vaccinated for infectious bronchitis using a moderately attenuated vaccine designed for chicks of an older age. The vacc...
متن کاملGenetic Perspective of Ascites Syndrome in Meat-Type Chickens
Pulmonary hypertension syndrome (ascites) is a metabolic disorder in fast-growing broilers. Inconsistency of oxygen requirement and the cardiovascular ability make the birds susceptible to ascites. Incidence of ascites was accompanied by right ventricular hypertrophy, fluid accumulation in the abdominal cavity and finally mortality. The objective of the current study was to review the genetic b...
