the variation within a population of 100 pieces of native chicken from 5 regions of khuzestan province (abadan, dezful, shushtar, ahvaz, izeh) were analyzed by using 6 microsatellite markers, in the present study. the dna was extracted by using salting out method from blood samples collected. the pcr reactions for all locuses were performed and it was found that all of them are highly polymorph...

A mutation that confers white plumage with black eyes was identified in the Minohiki breed of Japanese native chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus). The white plumage, with a few partially pigmented feathers, was not associated with the tyrosinase gene, and displayed an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance against the pigmented phenotype. All F1 offspring derived from crosses with mottled chick...

Aim: To evaluate the hygienic quality of raw chicken meat and raw milk sold in the local markets of Patna with reference to isolation of Salmonella and antibiotic resistance pattern of Salmonella against commonly used antibiotics. Materials and Methods: A total of 370 samples comprising of 228 chicken meat and 142 market milk samples were processed for isolation and serotyping, supplemented wit...

This study aimed to the role of PPARs on fat deposition in native crossbred chicken. We studied growth, abdominal, subcutaneous, and intramuscular fat, mRNA expression PPARA PPARG adipose muscle tissues four chicken breeds (CH breed (100% Thai chicken), KM1 (50% CH background), KM2 (25% broiler (BR)). The result shows that BR chickens had higher abdominal than other (p < 0.05) an percentage ...

Assuming that the various phage types of Salmonella Enteritidis (S. Enteritidis) are largely equally virulent, the importance of certain foods as sources of infection for human salmonellosis can be deduced from differences in the distribution of phage types in human and non-human samples. In 2002, S. Enteritidis phage type 29 (PT29) was first isolated from non-human test samples in Austria. S. ...

The binding of N-acetoxy-N-2-acetylaminofluorene to DNA in native and partially dehistonized chicken erythrocyte chromatin was studied. The amounts of carcinogen bound to DNA were measured, after removal of proteins with phenol, by using the absorption ratio A3os/A260 or by counting the radioactivity of 14C-labeled carcinogen. Measurements of uncovered zones of DNA in chromatin were made by com...

the aims of this study were to compare the promoter sequence of the mannose-binding lectin (cmbl) gene in iranian native and commercial chicken strains; as well as to compare the cmbl gene expression in crossbred and inbred chickens. in total 79 native (western azerbaijan native fowls, wanf) and 49 commercial (arian commercial strain, acs) birds were reared as parents under same management prac...

The objective of the study was to investigate antimicrobial activity of native and reduced forms of duck lysozyme (dLz) against Salmonella enteritidis. Moreover, antimicrobial activity of dLz was compared with chicken lysozyme (cLz). The purified dLz was reduced with dithiothreitol. Free SH groups of reduced dLz were trapped with iodoacetamide. Lytic activity against Micrococcus luteus of reduc...
