poultryproduction, etc ; animal welfare; chickens; fearfulness; research; Show all 5 Subjects
Abstract:
... Animal welfare is of general interest, and in the farming arena, efforts have increased to create optimal conditions for poultry production. Detailed and standardized studies on specific behavioral issues, such as fear, exploration, and social reinstatement behavior, are needed to support these initiatives. The variables mentioned can be directly queried from the animal in the open field to provid ...

Abstract:
... The importance of lighting regimen is increasing with the industrialization of poultry production, as lighting has been intimately associated with not only the establishment of rhythm and synchronous physiology of broiler chickens, but also the secretion of hormones associated with broiler maturation and growth. In recent years, increasing attention has been paid to the effects of lighting managem ...

Abstract:
... The optimal light intensities for broiler production and well-being have been investigated for some time. The use of a minimum 20 lux (lx) is mandated within the European Union (European Commission, 2000; European Union 2007). Light intensities below 20 lx are commonly used in the United States. There have been inconsistent effects of light intensities below 20 lx on broiler performance. The prese ...

Abstract:
... Heat stress is one of the most prevalent issues in poultry production that reduces performance, robustness, and economic gains. Previous studies have demonstrated that native chickens are more tolerant of heat than commercial breeds. However, the underlying mechanisms of the heat tolerance observed in native chicken breeds remain unelucidated. Therefore, we performed a phenotypical, physiological, ...

Abstract:
... Gender determination in chicks is an important task in poultry production and is helpful for precision feeding of different sexes. At present, most chicken sex identification methods need to be completed manually by professionals, which is time-consuming and laborious. In this paper, a method was designed to determine the sex of one-day-old chicks according to vocalizations. This method uses sound ...

Abstract:
... Removal of inorganic phosphate (Pi) from broiler diets could improve sustainability in poultry production. Small-scale studies of total Pi replacement by a novel consensus bacterial 6-phytase variant have been promising but larger scale studies are needed. In this study, effects of 4 diets on growth performance and bone quality were evaluated: PC1, nutritionally adequate and containing Pi without ...

Abstract:
... Phytogenic additives have been studied intensively in broiler chicken production to substitute growth-promoting antibiotics. However, the comprehensive literature on this topic makes it difficult to understand overall results because there are a noticeable number of studies with conflicting conclusions. While several research studies have shown that phytogenic additives may increment broiler chick ...

Abstract:
... The present study aimed to evaluate the environmental cost of the production process of broilers from the approach of emergy accounting and carbon sequestration potential for broiler farms. The study assessed a standard farm of the conventional system containing ten houses in 19 ha. We evaluated the following indices solar transformity (Tr), renewability (%R), emergy yield ratio (EYR), emergy inve ...

Abstract:
... Knowing the Campylobacter spp. load at each stage of production can be helpful in selecting appropriate control methods. The aim of the present study was therefore to evaluate the quantitative contamination of broilers with Campylobacter spp. at different levels of production (pre-harvest, harvest, and post-harvest) by using the culture method, and to identify the types of samples that can accurat ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: In the livestock feed industry, feed and feed raw materials are extremely susceptible to mycotoxin contamination. Deoxynivalenol (DON) is one of the main risk factors for mycotoxin contamination in broiler feed and feedstuff, however, there is still little knowledge about this. Hence, the purpose of this study was to explore the toxicity effect of DON on the intestinal barrier and the ...

Abstract:
... Bacteriophage therapy is being considered as a promising tool to control Salmonella in poultry. Nevertheless, changes in gastrointestinal tract environmental conditions throughout the production cycle could compromise the efficacy of phages administered orally. The main objectives of this study were to assess the optimal timing of the phage administration over a 42-day production cycle and to comp ...

Abstract:
... Due to the antagonism and synergy among environmental factors in the poultry house, the influence process becomes extremely complex. As a result, it is difficult to predict and evaluate the degree of such influence accurately. In this paper, we study the poultry house environment factor and its relationship with poultry production performance, using the gray relation analysis (GRA) to filtrate the ...

Abstract:
... The cost of feed represents an important part of the total cost in swine and poultry production (>60%) with energy accounting for at least 70% of feed cost. The energy value of ingredients or compound feeds can be estimated as digestible (DE), metabolisable (ME) and net energy (NE) in pigs and ME and NE in poultry. The current paper reviews the different methods for evaluating DE, ME and NE of fee ...
