In this study, seroprevalence of avian reovirus (ARV) infections in broiler and broiler breeder chicken farms in Aydin, İzmir and Manisa provinces were investigated. Serum samples (n = 631) collected from 8 broiler breeder and 18 broiler flocks were tested for ARV antibodies using a commercially available ARV Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) kit. The sampled flocks were not vaccinated ...

the objective of this study was to investigate the effects of different levels of amino acid and feeding methods on performance and immune system of broiler chickens. experimental design was based on completely randomized design in a factorial arrangement with 3 feeding methods [control (ad libitum feed intake), intermittent feeding (if) and continuous feed withdrawal (fw)), and 2 amino acid le...

Consumers believe that quality of foods from organic production is superior to foods from conventional production. The objectives of the present study have therefore been to compare the quality of chicken meat from organic and conventional production on the basis of traditional meat quality criteria. The experiment was organized as a field study. Fresh organic broiler carcasses were purchased d...

It has been known that the chicken's resistance to disease was affected by chicken's genetic background. And RLR-mediated antiviral pathway plays an important role in detection of viral RNA. However, little is known about the interaction of genetic background with RLR-mediated antiviral pathway in chicken against MDV infection. In this study, we adopted economic line-AA broilers and native Erla...

Avian coccidiosis is a huge problem worldwide. Heavily infected animals that show severe clinical signs and coccidiostat resistance are causing important economic losses. The present study aimed to update the recent cases of coccidiosis in Central Java, Indonesia, and to show the importance of the disease in the region. A total of 699 samples were obtained from different chicken breed. Differen...

this study was conducted to compare susceptibility of six different strains of male broilers to ascites syndrome. in this experiment, 612 one-day-old male broiler chicks from five international hybrids (e.g, arbor acres, cobb 500, hubbard, lohmann, and ross 508) and an iranian hybrid (arian) were used. growth performance, ascites mortality ratio, the ratio of right ventricle to total ventricles...

Improved methods for broiler chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) litter utilization are needed to alleviate potential impacts of pollution around broiler production operations. Pelletization may constitute one improved method for handling broiler litter. The objective of this study was to determine the change in nutrient concentration from pelletizing broiler litter, and determine availability o...

With the aim of investigating the differences in the quality traits between Korean native chicken (Hanhyup, KNC) and broilers commonly used in two different traditional Korean cuisines, the chemical composition and sensory properties of breast and thigh meat from the two chicken strains were assessed. KNC for baeksuk (chicken meat braised in soup with various Oriental medicinal plants; KNL), KN...

mycoplasma synoviae (m. synoviae) is a major worldwide poultry pathogen that causes serious economic losses in the poultry industry. this study was designed to detect m. synoviae through culture isolation and polymerase chain reaction (pcr) assay to demonstrated the involvement of m. synoviae infection in trachea and the lung/air sac samples taken from commercial broiler chicken farms in 3 m...
