The development of local poultry farming and import substitution are the main solutions to ensuring safety products in any state. For effective farming, it is necessary overcome one constraining factors ‒ insufficiency a modern monitoring system throughout food chain. Especially deep processing meat starting from pre-slaughter keeping, cutting, preparation semi-finished products, etc. In this r...

The immunocomplex vaccine against infectious bursal disease from the VNIVIP strain has strong immunogenic properties, including active expression of IL-6 cytokine synthesis genes in tissues bursa Fabricius and cecum. This phenomenon stimulates a local non-specific immune response, resulting reduction representation pathogenic opportunistic microorganisms intestines chickens. As result studies, ...

A study was conducted to compare the growth performance and carcass characteristics of guinea fowl (GF) with Horro (HR) Tilili (TL) local chickens, Potchefstroom Koekoek (PK) exotic chicken. Seventy-five-day-old chicks from each genotype were used in 3 replications a completely randomized design. Commercial starter grower feed fed ad libitum during 20 weeks study. Daily dry matter intake g/bird...

This study analyzes consumers’ motivations, perceptions, and effects of COVID-19 on the consumption local chicken in Ghana. A cross-sectional survey was conducted to collect data from 400 poultry consumers. In addition descriptive analysis, an ordered regression model used analyse effect chickens. The results show that consumers consider nutritional health values, safety, taste, freshness as mo...

Free-range chickens are sentinels for the presence of Toxoplasma gondii oocysts in the environment because they feed from ground. T. gondii infected chickens are also an important source of infection for cats that shed environmentally resistant oocysts after eating infected chicken tissues. We surveyed 50 free-range chickens from Oyo State, Nigeria for the presence of T. gondii antibodies using...

Two M5.1 and M15.2 B complex congenic lines of Fayoumi chickens were evaluated for body weight loss and faecal oocyst counts as parameters of avian coccidiosis. M5.1 chickens exhibited resistance to E. maxima compared with M15.2. To correlate the differential responses of the M5.1 and M15.2 lines to E. maxima infection with cellular immune responses, the expression levels of mRNAs encoding 14 i...

The logistic, Gompertz, Richards and asymmetric logistic growth curve models were fitted to body weight data of local Ghanaian chickens and French SASSO T44 chickens. All four growth models provided good fit for each sex by genotype growth data with R2 values ranging from 86.7% to 96.7%. The rate constant parameter, k, ranged between 0.137 and 0.271 and were significantly different from zero fo...

Since the range of comfort zone or thermo neutral zone of domestic chickens is narrow, they become easily susceptible to heat and cold environmental stress. We evaluated Brahma Rasayana (BR) supplementation on concentrations of certain oxidative stress markers associated with heat stress. A total of 48 egg type male chickens of local strain were divided into six groups (n = 8) for the study. Th...

The prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii in free-ranging chickens (Gallus domesticus) is a good indicator of the prevalence of the parasite's oocysts in soil because chicken feed from the ground. The prevalence of T. gondii in free-range chickens from Ghana, Indonesia, Italy, Poland, and Vietnam was determined using the modified agglutination test (MAT). Antibodies to T. gondii were found in 41 (64%...

Chicken is the most common poultry species and is important to human societies. Tibetan chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) is a breed endemic to China that is distributed mainly on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. However, its origin has not been well characterized. In the present study, we sequenced partial mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region of 239 and 283 samples from Tibetan and Sichuan indi...
