FARMER-DRIVEN RESEARCH ON VILLAGE CHICKEN PRODUCTION IN SANYATI, ZIMBABWE. Studies on village chicken production in Sanyati, Zimbabwe, were initiated in 1998. The objective was, in cooperation with the farmers, to find means to improve chicken production by decreasing mortality and increasing growth. The aim is that more chickens should reach slaughter weight. Thus, household consumption and in...

The contents of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in Frankfurtertype sausages were investigated in depency on hot smoking conditions (glow smoke), type of casing, back fat content and different types of wood chips. For the smoking experiments three different types of smoke densities and ventilator velocities, three types of casings, four different back fat contents (10%, 20%, 30%, and 39%)...

We quantified chicken calpain 2 (CAPN2) expression in two Chinese chicken breeds (mountainous black-bone chicken breed [MB] and a commercial meat type chicken breed [S01]) to discern the tissue and ontogenic expression pattern and its effect on muscle metabolism. Real-time quantitative PCR assay was developed for accurate measurement of the CAPN2 mRNA expression in various tissues from chickens...
