abstract: the extreme polymorphism in mhc b-f genes enables the chickens to recognize enormous numbers of foreign peptides to trigger an immune reaction. study of this genetic resources is very important and it is essential to avoid the loss of genetic variability. genetic polymorphism among arian strain, a endogenous broiler chickens in iran, was investigated. in this study pcr-sscp was carrie...

The increasing susceptibility of broiler chickens to ascites syndrome has coincided with a continuing genetic and nutritional improvement in their feed efficiency and growth rate. Ascites is multifactorial and interactions between environmental and endogenous factors play a particularly important role. The selection of fast growing broilers for high feed efficiency, which is characterized by hy...

The poultry industry has an important roll to supply food production by livestock protein in developing countries including Iran. The major sections in poultry production in Iran consists of broiler and laying production, broiler and laying breeder production, hatchery and line breeder production. Commercial productions in Iran have changed more or less during 1999-2003. The number of farms for...

Marek's disease (MD) is the most common lymphoproliferative diseases of chickens; During the last year the incidence of MD was investigated among slaughter houses and suspected broiler farms, located in Isfahan (Iran) as the region of highest density of poultry husbandry by histopathology, For subclinical MD investigation, in total 1550 chickens originated from slaughter houses were examined, P...

Avian influenza outbreaks in 1998 due to H9N2 subtype of avian influenza virus (AIV) that occurred in poultry industry in Iran caused serious economic losses. The aim of this study was to investigate the pathogenesis, clinical signs, gross and histopathological findings of the chickens experimentally inoculated with A/Chicken/Iran/772/99(H9N2) influenza virus, isolated from the commercial broil...

The aim of this study was to isolate, identify and determine the antimicrobial susceptibility of (CP) isolates from acute necrotic enteritis of broiler chickens. All carcasses diagnosed as necrotic enteritis (NE) were sampled, subjected to microbial tests and 40 isolates were identified according to standard procedures. The antimicrobial susceptibility of CP isolates to 20 antibacterial agents ...

Marek's disease (MD) is a common lymphoproliferative disease of chickens, usually characterized by mononuclear cellular infiltration in different organs. The disease is caused by a herpes virus and is transmissible. MD has been a common, important problem for poultry industry worldwide, as well as, in our country, Iran. The aim of present study was to have an estimation of the incidence of M...
