Two studies were conducted to determine whether Campylobacter jejuni could rapidly spread and reside in the internal organs of adult broiler breeder hens. In Study 1, university-housed broiler breeders at 22 wk of age were obtained and placed in individual cages. Each hen was intravaginally inoculated weekly from 23 to 32 wk of age with a characterized strain of C. jejuni. At wk 23, 27, and 32,...

1. The effect of supplementing the diet of the parent hen with vitamin E on the vitamin E content of the yolk and of embryonic and neonatal tissues was evaluated and the effects of elevated tissue concentrations of vitamin E on peroxidation susceptibility was examined. 2. Laying hens (Ross 1 broiler-breeder strain) were maintained on diets containing either 147 (control diet) or 365 (high vitam...

Fertility reduction due to sub-fertile males is a major concern in breeder flocks. Phenotypic traits of broiler breeder males and their relationships with fertility can be used as reliable indicators for identification and removal of sub-fertile males from the breeder flocks. This study was conducted to investigate semen traits (semen volume, sperm motility, sperm viability and sperm count) and...

Recent trends occurring in broiler primary breeding companies are described. The structure and operation of broiler primary breeder companies are described from pedigree elite populations, through great-grandparent and grandparent generations, down to the parent stock. The relatively low value of fertility and hatchability, compared with yield and feed efficiency as selection traits, is assesse...

A study was undertaken to test the effect of 2 commercially available probiotics on the production efficiency of broiler chickens hatched from the same breeder flock at 3 different ages (28, 43, and 57 wk). At each of the 3 breeder flock ages, 1,600 broiler chickens were hatched and randomly allocated to 1 of 4 treatments: 1) no probiotics (control), 2) probiotic 1 administered in the drinking ...

Peneliti melakukan penelitian ini karena masih banyak yang belum tau apakah dalam proses pembentukan kata bahasa Indonesia takarir anime Jepang Kimetsu No Yaiba Movie Mugen Ressha-Hen itu sesuai apa tidak dengan ranah morfologi khususnya pada morfofonemik, maka hal tersebut fokus terletak pada: 1. Bagaimana jenis morfofonemik saja terdapat Ressha-Hen? 2. Ressha-Hen?. Tujuan penelitian: Mengetah...

The body weight of breeding broiler chickens (broiler breeders) is an important control variable used to optimize the amount, quality and fertility eggs being laid. In modern barns, population animals generally supports a female:male ratio 10:1, wherein males females each receive their own food supply. To this supply breeders are weighed using automatic electronic platform weighers weights then...

Avian sperm are stored in the sperm storage tubules (SSTs) of the hen oviduct for a prolonged period. The impact of avidin-related protein-2 (AVRP2) and carbonic anhydrase II (CA II) in sperm viability in the SSTs has been suggested. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of oral administration of a high dose of thyroxine on the oviductal expression of AVRP2<...
