Persistent agricultural price fluctuations in developing countries have revived interest the theory of endogenous instability. We examine underlying cause instability Pakistan's broiler and chick markets. To this end, we utilize findings from our fieldwork estimates unobserved component-models to formulate a theoretical model chicken supply chain Pakistan. Under standard assumptions, derive hyp...

An experimental study was carried over a period of 42 days using 160 day-old commercial broiler chicks (Ven Cobb) to study the effect of copper and flavomycin as feed additives on growth performance in broiler chicken. The birds were divided into four groups with four replicates of ten chicks in each replicate. The treatment (T1) was control with standard broiler ration and Cu as CuSO4 at 100 p...

Abstract Farmers preferences need to be considered in the preparation of contract design attribute broiler partnerships for existence smallholder farmers’ businesses. This study aimed explore farmers on attributes partnerships. used choice experiment method 180 Banten Province. The results this found that a partnership can increase utility were price live bird, form written contract, harvest ag...

Alternative feed ingredients that can replace commercial such as corn namely noni (Morinda citrifolia L.) leaf which has a high enough metabolic energy content. This study aims to analyze the economics of application Morinda L. in broiler feed. research was conducted cage at Lampung State Polytechnic. In this study, there were four treatments are T1 Noni 0%, T2 2%, T3 4% and.T4 6%. The results ...

We develop a version of the fundamental theorem of asset pricing for discrete-time markets with proportional transaction costs and model uncertainty. A robust notion of no-arbitrage of the second kind is defined and shown to be equivalent to the existence of a collection of strictly consistent price systems.

The objectives of the present study were to examine the level of radiocesium deposit in meat and edible organs of broiler chickens as well as to investigate efficiency of natural sepiolite in reducing Cs deposition in meat, liver and gizzard of alimentary contaminated broiler chickens. Broiler chickens (six weeks of age) were fed with the standard diet and each broiler was given a single oral d...

This study aimed to identify the sources and routes of transmission of Campylobacter in intensively reared poultry farms in the Republic of Ireland. Breeder flocks and their corresponding broilers housed in three growing facilities were screened for the presence of Campylobacter species from November 2006 through September 2007. All breeder flocks tested positive for Campylobacter species (with...

The genetic diversity of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coliisolates from commercial broiler farms was examined by multilocus sequence typing (MLST), with an assessment of the impact of the sample type and laboratory method on the genotypes of Campylobacter isolated. A total of 645C. jejuniand 106C. coli isolates were obtained from 32 flocks and 17 farms, with 47 sequence types (STs) id...

High temperature is one of the key environmental stressors affecting broiler production efficiency and meat yield. Knowledge of broiler self-regulation mechanisms under heat stress is important for the modern scale of poultry breeding. In the present study, the SWATH strategy was employed to investigate the temporal response of the broiler liver to heat stress. A total of 4,271 proteins were id...
