The output of poultry genetic resources (PGR) can be greatly increased by the use very powerful tool known as genome editing. Poultry farming is significant in tropics because it significantly raises household income and level living. Increasing PGR production requires overcoming several challenges, such high rates disease prevalence resistance, subpar performance, adverse environmental conditions. However, application editing technology presents a promising opportunity to address these...
The study was carried out to assess the genetic variation in indigenous turkey populations South West Nigeria using seven protein markers: Hemoglobin (Hb), Albumin (Alb), Transferin (Tf), Esterase-1 (Es-1), Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), Carbonic anhydrase (CA), and Esterase-3 (Es-3).. A total of 97 birds from Ibadan, Ijebu Ode Akure were purposively sampled. Separation plasma red cell proteins determined on cellulose acetate electrophoresis estimate variability within among populations. degree...
Ghrelin (GHRL) is a novel 28-amino acid gut-brain peptide linked to gene associated with the regulation of growth hormones in birds. This study was carried out investigate polymorphism Fulani and Yoruba ecotypes chickens Nigeria. Blood samples were collected from seventy-eight (78) Nigerian indigenous comprising 41 ecotype 37 chickens. Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction fragment length (PCR-RFLP) method used MboII restriction enzyme cut site 71 ghrelin genetic structure determined....
This study was designed to evaluate the goodness of fit six non-linear growth models; Logistics, Gompertz, Brody, Richard, Von bertalanffy and Mitscherlich in Yoruba FUNAAB-Alpha chickens with aim providing information on their patterns for future genetic improvement. A total 256 one-day-old chicks comprising 118 Ecotype Chicken (YEC) 138 FUNAAB Alpha (FAC) were tagged fed ad libitum starter (0 - 6 weeks) grower (7-24 diets. Body weight each bird measured weekly. The selected nonlinear...
Cocoa bean shell (CBS) as an agro-industrial by-product is a potential feed ingredient that can be used in broiler chicken diets. However, due to the presence of anti-nutritional factors, digestibility and availability nutrients negatively affected. Hence, this study was conducted investigate effect fermented (FCBS) on nutrient chickens. One day-old Ross 308 chickens (n=150), were randomly allocated into five dietary treatments with three replicates per treatment completely randomized...
Pituitary Specific transcription factor 1 (PIT-1) gene is one of the POU family and play key roles in regulation muscle development which important for body weight chickens. This study was carried out to detect polymorphism PIT-1 its association with Fulani Yoruba ecotype Nigerian indigenous A total 100 day-old chicks comprising fifty ecotypes were used this study. These genotyped using PCR-RFLP technique their growth rate also measured throughout Our results showed two alleles B controlling...
Inhibin A (INHA) a member of the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) family has been implicated in negative feedback control mechanism pituitary follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). reported to be associated with litter size, milk yield, fertility and reproductive traits ruminants.
 total ten amino acid sequences (four sheep six goats) were downloaded from National Centre for Biotechnology Information database (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/snp). The sequence alignment was carried out...
Tropically adapted farm animals are characterized by low meat and milk productivity. Traditionally, mass selection has been widely employed in breeding for improved animal performance. However, improving productivity using is laborious usually less effective. Advances molecular techniques such as DNA sequencing analysis provide the opportunity to characterize influencing genes, which can lead faster genetic improvement but often unaffordable expensive particularly developing countries....
