This article presents the influence of different stress factors on hormone, sugar, lipid and protein metabolism in poultry. Based on the literature, the main physiological stress indicators in poultry were distinguished. It was stated that investigations on the stress should be continued, including searching for good methods of stress control strategy, because the success in poultry breeding co...

Camel breeding is one of the most profitable and suitable types of livestock breeding in the natural and climatic conditions of the Central Asian Republics and Kazakhstan. The keeping of camels is appropriate for the extensive deserts and semideserts of the south-eastern, southern and western regions of Kazakhstan, where the climate and food resources meet the needs of this irreplaceable animal.

The study examined the factors influencing farm record keeping among small scale poultry farmers in zone A axis of the Kogi ADP comprising of -Yagba- East, Yagba-West, Kabba-Bunnu, Ijumu, and Mopamuro Local Government Areas. Using a three stage random sampling technique, 120 poultry farmers spread across the 5 LGAs within the zone A of Kogi ADP in Kogi State were randomly selected. With the aid...

We have sequenced the DNA barcodes (i.e. cytochrome c oxidase subunit I or COI gene of the mitochondrial genome) of common breeds/strains of farm animals (mammals – buffalo, cattle, goat, sheep, pigs, dogs, and cat; poultry – chickens, quail, turkey, guinea fowl, ducks, geese, pigeons, and ostrich) in the Philippines. DNA was extracted from blood samples. The DNA barcode of the livestock and po...

As grain prices have increased dramatically in the past year, understanding the fundamental genetic, cellular, and biochemical mechanisms responsible for feed efficiency (FE; g of gain/g of feed) or residual feed intake (RFI; an alternative feed efficiency trait that quantifies interanimal variation in DMI that is unexplained by differences in BW and growth rate) in livestock and poultry is ext...
