abstract: subgroup j avian leukosis virus (alv-j) was isolated in the late 1980s from meat-type chickens in the united kingdom. alv-j with exception of some acute variants, cause myeloid leukosis in meat-type chickens with long incubation period.in this study while the status of avian leukosis virus subgroup j in six different strain of broiler grandparent flocks of iran evaluated, the evaluati...

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...

The subgroup J of ALV (ALV-J) has emerged as an important pathogen of meat-type chickens since1989. This virus is responsible for economic losses due to both mortality and depressed performance inchickens. So, the objective of this study is the detection of ALV-J in the albumen of commercial and nativefowl eggs using RT-PCR. Three hundred and seventy egg albumens were randomly selected from dif...

OBJECTIVES In Sweden the prevalence of Enterobacteriaceae with transferable resistance to extended-spectrum cephalosporins (ESCs) is low. However, in broilers ESC-resistant Escherichia coli is common, with a clear dominance of blaCMY-2. Antimicrobials are rarely used in broiler production in Sweden and cephalosporins are never used. Introduction through imported breeding stock and subsequent ve...

  Avian Leukosis Virus Subgroup-J (ALV-J). Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) and MycopJasma synviae (MS) are important pathogens in chickens that cause severe economical losses in poultry industry throughout the world. Seven broiler grandparent flocks of Iran (six broiler strains) were sampled randomly at the ages of 8-63 wk (100 samples from each flock) for antibody detection to ALV-J, MG, and MS ...

Broilers and broiler meat products are highly contaminated with extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) or plasmid-mediated AmpC beta-lactamase producing Escherichia coli and are considered to be a source for human infections. Both horizontal and vertical transmission might play a role in the presence of these strains in broilers. As not much is known about the presence of these strains in the ...

Ornithobacteriosis is an infectious disease of avian species that has been reported in almost all countries around the world, except Thailand. The objectives of this study were to determine the seroprevalence of Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale (ORT) and to isolate and identify ORT in broilers and broiler breeders in Thailand. Chicken antibodies had been randomly checked from 17 farms (19 flocks...

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...
