While many pundits sing the praises of the coming global village, Talbott wants us to examine their unspoken assumptions. Many seem to be saying that simple technological tools can guarantee freedom and privacy, make learning and personal growth easy, and build strong democratic communities. Talbott sees this as wishful thinking—magical, automatic solutions to complex human problems. He sees th...

The identification of genetic variants responsible for behavioral variation is an enduring goal in biology, with wide-scale ramifications, ranging from medical research to evolutionary theory on personality syndromes. Here, we use for the first time a large-scale genetical genomics analysis in the brains of chickens to identify genes affecting anxiety as measured by an open field test. We combi...

Marek's disease (MD) is a lymphoproliferative disease caused by the MD virus (MDV), which costs the poultry industry nearly $1 billion annually. To identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting MD susceptibility, the inbred lines 6(3) (MD resistant) and 7(2) (MD susceptible) were mated to create more than 300 F2 chickens. The F2 chickens were challenged with MDV JM strain, moderately virulen...

In some parts of Nigeria, studies have revealed avian haemosporidian infections in village chickens, which are considered emerging parasitic because chickens unnatural hosts. Infections may occurred as a result accidental cross-infection via infected haemophagus arthropod vectors. This study was carried out to determine the Village Yobe State, Nigeria using microscopy. Blood samples were collec...

Rice bran is one of the feed ingredients that cheap, easy to obtain and its availability does not compete with human needs. The nutritional content good enough be used as animal feed, especially native chickens, but rice has a very high crude fiber content. purpose Bran Fermentation Training Using EM4 for Village Chicken Feed help farmers provide cheap quality simple innovations through ferment...

Over the past three decades and most recently, information and communications technologies (ICTs) have orchestrated obvious fundamental changes in the way mankind organises himself and does his own things, rendering the world into one digital global village. The greatest casualty in the mist of all these changes is the educational system, because the development, acquisition and dissemination o...

Abstract. Incharoen T, Nakhen W, Yaemkong S. 2022. Qualitative and quantitative phenotype of Kai Tor-Kai Tang (Gallus gallus) in the lower-northern region Thailand. Biodiversitas 23: 5387-5395. The (KT) chicken is a crossbreed between an indigenous domestic village breed local wild red junglefowl. Colorful plumage, crowing voice, large single comb are specific characteristics phenotype. Due to ...

BACKGROUND Campylobacter species are gram negative and flagellated bacteria under the genus Campylobacter, family Campylobacteriaceae. These pathogens cause zoonotic infections among human and animal populations. This study was undertaken between December 2006 and May 2007 to determine prevalence, risk factors and genetic diversity of thermophilic Campylobacter isolates from children less than ...

A competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (C-ELISA) using a baculovirus-expressed recombinant nucleocapsid protein antigen (rNDV-N) and an rNDV-N-specific monoclonal antibody (5B3) was developed for the detection of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) antibodies, and its diagnostic performance was evaluated. The specificity and sensitivity of the C-ELISA was found to be 98.4 and 98.9%, respecti...
