This study evaluated the impact of husbandry practices including enrichments, diet, stocking density, genotype, and outdoor access on welfare indicators in fast-growing Ross 308 two genotypes medium-growing Hubbard hybrids chickens. The set studies was designed with specific factors relevant to each perch enrichment lucerne provision targeted for broilers perch, access, as well genotype (JA757 JA787) Feather condition, footpad dermatitis (FPD), comb wounds, skin injuries, hock burn,...

SUMMARYThe egg storage conditions including the duration, temperature and turning positioning manipulations, especially prewarming preincubation during storage, are consistently important components for poultry breeders hatcheries. This review paper provides a comprehensive analysis of effects manipulations on quality characteristics embryonic development subsequent effect hatchability chick quality. The duration have been deeply studied compared with storage. Storing hatching eggs above...

Variability in shell structure is an evolutionary mechanism birds that enables them to adapt specific environmental conditions. This variability may also occur within the same species under influence of individual indicators, such as age or health status females. While interspecies variation quite obvious and easy interpret, reasons for intraspecies remain unclear. In this study, we examined ultra- microstructure guinea fowl eggshells identify association between variations hatchability...

Abstract To improve the quality of poultry meat and increase health-promoting properties, nutrition used additives such as phytobiotic substances amino acids. The aim this study was to analyze possibility improving production rates by simultaneously supplementing broiler diets with garlic extract β-alanine. A total 1050 ROSS 308 chickens were part experiment. divided into several groups: control group without (Control), groups 0.5% (G05) or 2% (G2), added β-alanine (B0.5) (B2), both (BG0.5)...

Poultry meat is a highly esteemed product among consumers. However, the emphasis on increasing body weight has led to rise in proportion of rapidly shrinking fibers, adversely affecting quality and shelf life poultry meat. With growing awareness dietetics consumers, there an challenge produce chicken that not only free antibiotics but also beneficial for dietary health reasons. Biogenic amines (BA) can serve as indicators freshness quality. While they play vital roles body, excessive...

Biogenic amines (BAs) are biologically active substances found in the cells of microorganisms, plants, and animals. These BAs serve many vital functions body. However, an excessive amount can be toxic, especially for individuals taking monoamine oxidase (MAO) diamine (DAO) inhibitors. They primarily form products rich amino acids, primary substrates BA formation. The aim this study was to determine formation their precursor acids chicken breast leg muscles stored under chilling conditions....

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the practical application Transect Walk (TW) method on a commercial farm, focusing different ages Orvia ST5 Pekin ducks. conducted in four flocks ducks, reared two identical buildings. Flocks 1 and 3 were housed Building 1, while 2 4 occupied 2. A total 8,000 ducklings allocated rearing, with 2,000 each flock. welfare ducks assessed at 5, 6, 7 weeks age using TW method, which involved assessing indicators such as immobility, lameness, dirtiness,...

The aim of this study was to investigate the impact different bedding materials on both production performance and foot quality, assessed through incidence, severity, microbiological quality pad dermatitis (FPD). A total 2400 Ross 308 chickens were raised over 42 days, distributed across eight material types (eight groups × four treatments 75 each). These pellets either lacked medicinal plant components or included 30% parts, such as oregano (Origanum vulgare), summer savory (Satureja...

Herein, we conducted a comparative study on the embryotoxicity of ochratoxin A (OTA) and its diastereomer 2'R-ochratoxin (2'R-OTA) under in ovo conditions, as well assess vitro these substances together with B α-ochratoxin, using chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) embryo cell lines. In tests involved egg incubation 8 different groups (i.e., control "0"-no puncture or injection (standard incubation); "00"-punctured eggs without injection; "OTA 0.25," 0.50," 0.75," "2'R-OTA 0.75"-eggs...

In cat breeding, an important step is reproduction and obtaining healthy offspring. The main factor determining the survival of newborn kittens normal course length pregnancy. purpose this study was to determine effect gestation on early development kittens. It shown that (premature kittens) later double their body weight (p < .01), have lower daily gains .01) higher during eye-opening which occurs than in born time. addition, due a shorter period prenatal development, they require more time...
