Stress is a common problem diminishing the muscle development of broilers. Creatine (Cr), an energy buffer in skeletal muscle, plays a fundamental role in muscle physiology. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Cr monohydrate (CMH) on protein breakdown in chicken myotubes challenged by corticosterone (CORT) in vitro. The morphology of myotube...

Semen extenders are essential for maintaining the quality of sperm during storage and assuring the success of fertility after insemination. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of a new rooster semen extender (hereinafter, NCAB) supplemented with serine on the survivability and fertilizing ability of sperm following storage. NaCl s...

Broilers with immune stress show decline of growth performance, causing severe economic losses. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the immune stress still need to be elucidated. One hundred and twenty broiler chicks were randomly assigned to 2 groups with 6 repeats per group, 10 birds per repeat. The model broilers were intraperitoneally ...

This study was designed to test graded supplementation of a thermostable xylanase in pelleted, wheat-based diets fed to broiler chickens over a 28-d period. A total of 600 Ross 708 male broilers were allotted to 1 of 5 dietary treatments: positive control (PC), negative control (NC; 125 kcal of AME/kg diet reduction relative to PC), and NC suppleme...

Climate change has numerous effects on poultry that result in welfare concerns and economic losses in agricultural industries. However, the mechanisms underlying the acclimation to heat stress in poultry have not been comprehensively defined. Therefore, identifying associated patterns of gene regulation and understanding the molecular mechanisms of...

Light is a factor affecting muscle development and meat quality in poultry production. However, few studies have reported on the role of light in muscle development and meat quality in geese. In this experiment, 10 healthy 220-day-old Zhedong white geese were reared for 60 d under a long photoperiod (15L:9D, LL) and short photoperiod (9L:15D, SL). ...

Meal of black soldier fly larvae (BSFL), which requires extraction of protein and fat, is a novel protein source for poultry, while unprocessed whole BSFL could even directly be fed to chickens. Newly hatched Ross-308 chicks (n = 252) received whole BSFL at 10% (L10), 20% (L20), or 30% (L30) of voluntary feed intake (FI) of control chickens (CON) t...

The tumor suppressor p53, which acts primarily as a transcription factor, can regulate infections from various viruses in chickens. However, the underlying mechanisms of the antiviral functions of chicken p53 (chp53) remain unclear due to the lack of detailed information on its transcriptional regulation. Here, to gain comprehensive insights into c...

There is a need for more knowledge about perch use in broiler breeders and the potential effects of perches on health and production outcomes. The aim of this study was to investigate the use of perches by commercial broiler breeders, effect of perch access on keel bone fractures (KBF), footpad dermatitis (FPD) and number of floor eggs. Two commerc...
