salmonella     species show different disease syndromes and host specificity, according to their antigenic profile. salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium is one of the most frequently isolated serovar from foodborne outbreaks. poultry meat has been identified as one of the principal foodborne sources of salmonella. in this study, the effect of microwave treatment of chicken meat samples wh...

nitroimidazole compounds have been traditionally used in the veterinary and human medicine, but their uses are sometimes associated with some side effects. toxicopathological effects of nitroimidazoles have always been a major concern. there is scant information available about the pathological alterations of nitroimidazole compounds in the embryo. the objective of this study was to determine t...

aflatoxins are fungal metabolites by strains of aspergillus (a.parasiticus and a.flavus) are produced. the clinical signs of aflatoxin poisoning include surgery autopsy, histological lesions and also create effects on the production of poultry flocks in experimental and natural occurrence have been reported in broiler chickens worldwide. the main signs of aflatoxin poisoning, loss of appetite, ...

Product mislabeling, adulteration, and substitution are increasing concerns in highly processed foods, including pet foods. Although regulations exist for pet foods, there is currently a lack of information on the prevalence of pet food mislabeling. The objective of this study was to perform a market survey of pet foods and pet treats marketed for domestic canines and felines to identify meat s...

Th e aim of this study was to compare the genetic variation of fi ve local chicken breeds reared in Poland. Twenty-seven microsatellite markers were investigated in 138 birds belonging to fi ve breeds: Miniature Cochin (MCO), Gold Italian (GI), Green Legged Partridge (GLP), Silver Italian (SI) and White Leghorn (WL). One hundred eighty fi ve alleles were detected in the overall population, with...

The synthesis of fatty acid ethyl ester from chicken fat waste using ZnO/SiO2 heterogeneous catalyst was carried out using two-step procedures of acid pretreatment by esterification and transesterification of the pretreated oil. The first step reduces the high free fatty acid in the oil to an acceptable level for transesterification using concentrated sulphuric acid at a temperature of 60 oC du...

OBJECTIVE Based on rapid advancement of genetic modification techniques, genomic editing is expected to become the most efficient tool for improvement of economic traits in livestock as well as poultry. In this study, we examined and verified the nickase of mutated CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) to modulate the specific target gene in chicken DF1 cells. METHODS Chicken myostatin which inh...

This study was performed to evaluate the quality characteristics of three deboned categories of chicken thigh meat: one which was slaughtered and deboned in the same plant (fresh); one which was slaughtered, deboned, frozen, and thawed in the same plant (frozen-thawed); and the last which was slaughtered in a plant, deboned in a different plant, but then transferred to the original plant (fresh...

PURPOSE To investigate the regulation of visual pigment expression in chick embryo photoreceptor cells by ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), and by the protein kinase inhibitor staurosporine. METHODS Embryonic day (ED) 8 chick embryo retinal cells were dissociated and cultured at low densities for 3 days, either in control medium or in medium supplemented with CNTF or staurosporine. The cult...
