Melanin is an important antioxidant in food and has been used medicine cosmetology. Chicken meat with high melanin content from black-boned chickens have considered a nutritious potential medicinal properties. The molecular mechanism of melanogenesis skeletal muscle remain poorly understood. This study investigated the biological gene-metabolite associations regulating pathways Wuliangshan two normal boned chicken breeds as control.We identified 25 differentially expressed genes 11...
Although many studies have been done to reveal artificial selection signatures in commercial and indigenous chickens, a limited number of genes linked specific traits. To identify more trait-related genes, we re-sequenced total 85 individuals five chicken breeds with distinct traits from Yunnan Province, China.
Poultry is a source of meat that in great demand the world. The quality an imperative point for shoppers. To explore genes controlling characteristics, growth and traits muscle transcriptome two indigenous Yunnan chicken breeds, Wuding chickens (WDs) Daweishan mini (MCs), were compared with Cobb broilers (CBs). characteristics these breeds found to differ from CB. In particular, crude fat (CF), inosine monophosphate content, amino acid (AA), total fatty (TFA) content WDs significantly higher...
Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) is a natural spice plant with an aromatic flavor and antioxidant properties that can help enhance the texture of food, as well be used source in pet feed. This study explored effect rosemary on growth performance capacity broiler chickens. In total, 144 healthy 1-day-old Arbor Acres broilers were randomly divided into four groups: The control group was fed basic diet, while positive diet supplemented 30 mg/kg kitasamycin, treatment groups supplemental...
Host defense peptides (HDPs) are an important first line of with antimicrobial and immunomodulatory properties. Selection for increased body weight is hypothesized to be related reduced immune response. We studied the relationships among weight, age, HDP expression patterns in intestine organs. used chickens marked differences sizes. The non-selected Daweishan mini showed highest indexes organs lowest concentrations plasma parameters C3, C4, IgA, IgY, while commercial Avian broiler opposite...
Abstract Despite recent progresses, the driving force of evolution and domestication chickens remains poorly understood. To fill this gap, we recently sequenced assembled genomes four distinct indigenous from Yunnan, China. Unexpectedly, found large numbers pseudogenes which have lost their functions are fixed in corresponding populations, also highly variable proteomes as well wild red jungle fowl (RJF) (GRCg6a). Although chicken breeds closely related to G. g. spadiceous subspecies, for...

Abstract Accurate and low-cost next generation sequencing technologies make re-sequencing of large populations a species possible. Although many studies related to artificial selection signatures commercial indigenous chickens have been carried out, quite small number genes found be under selection. In this study, we re-sequenced 85 individuals five chicken breeds with distinct traits from Yunnan, southwest province China. By analyzing these together 116 (broilers layers) 35 red jungle fowl,...
