The genetic selection progress in layers and broilers makes poultry production one of the fastest growing industries. Objectives of the breeding companies are the stability or the increase in the laying rate and the production of viable chicks. New biomarkers are necessary to improve reproductive and egg performances. Chemerin (Chem) produced by ov...

Dominance hierarchy exists in social animals and shows profound impacts on animals’ survival, physical and mental health, and reproductive success. Aggressive interaction, as the main indicator used to calculate social hierarchy, however, is not found in some female animals. In this study, we aimed to figure out the establishment of social hierarch...

The feed consumption, body weight, egg weight, and rate of lay of the hen, as well as the albumen, yolk, and shell characteristics of the egg, are important measures of productivity, quality, and safety in the layer industry. However, in the literature, there is little information on the onset and extent of variation of these traits among individua...

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation. LncRNAs, which are defined as non-coding RNAs more than 200 bp in length, are involved in key biological processes, such as cell proliferation and differentiation, epigenetic regulation, and gene transcriptional translation. Recent studies ha...

Cytokines are secreted immunomodulators that are key regulators of the avian immune response. Currently, the most commonly used method to follow cytokine expression is qPCR, which measures cellular levels of mRNA, rather their extracellular circulating levels. Here we present a commercially available cytokine array designed to assay circulating exp...

1. The present study was carried out to determine the effects of feeding ensiled alfalfa leaves (ALS) as an alternative protein source to laying hens under the terms of an organic diet. Due to the occurrence of unexpected negative health effects and undesirable egg yolk pigmentation in the test groups the trial was prematurely stopped and further a...

As a selenium-enriched plant, Cardamine violifolia (SEC) has an excellent antioxidant function. The edibility of SEC is expected to develop new sources of organic Se supplementation for human and animal nutrition. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of SEC on laying performance and ovarian antioxidant capacity in aging laying hens. ...

Vaccination remains the leading control method against infectious bronchitis (IB) in poultry despite the frequently observed IB outbreaks in vaccinated flocks. Here, two vaccination regimes were evaluated against challenge with the Massachusetts (Mass) infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) strain that was linked to egg production defects in Western Can...
