Campylobacter and Salmonella are known to cause acute bacterial gastroenteritis in humans. Raw poultry products have been implicated as a significant source of these infections. Five trials were conducted to determine whether Campylobacter and Salmonella spp. exist naturally in the mature and immature ovarian follicles of late-life broiler breeder hens. Broiler breeder hens ranging from 60 to 6...

Abstract This study aimed to examine the role of grandparental co-residence in shaping coparenting patterns Chinese family context. Using a sample 5,795 children (Mean age = 6.74 years; SD 3.82) from China Family Panel Studies 2012-2018, we offered novel typology six based on daytime and nighttime childcare information: a) care only (15.4%); b) grandparent-parent (10.9%); c) parental (44.5%); d...

A high incidence (about 70%) of alteration in endometrial epidermal growth factor (EGF) profile, i.e., loss of 2 peaks on days 2-4 and 13-14, has been linked to a reduced fertility in multiparous repeat breeder Holstein cows. However, the EGF profile in Holstein heifers and other breeds (types) of cattle has not been investigated. In study 1, EGF concentrations were determined using endometrial...

Recent research to define a measure of chick quality has evaluated the effects of incubation conditions, breeder age and genotype on progeny growth and survival. Nutritional research has focused on defining the optimum concentration of maternal dietary nutrients for progeny growth, mortality and immune status. There is a research requirement to bring these two areas together to better understan...

Campylobacter coli is an important species involved in human cases of enteritis, and chickens are carriers of the pathogen mainly in developing country. The current study aimed to evaluate the transmission of C. coli and its pathogenic effects in chicken embryos. Breeder hens were inoculated intra-esophageally with C. coli isolated from chickens, and their eggs and embryos were analyzed for the...

Embryo and hatchling survival diminish as turkey breeder hens age. Recent data indicated that a chelated calcium proteinate (CCP) additive given to turkey breeder hens improved embryo survival as hens aged but did not affect shell thickness. We hypothesized that the mechanism by which this occurred may be by improved functional shell quality and its consequent effect on cardiac physiology. To t...
