Interactive effects of dietary isoleucine and valine ratios to lysine in response to varying leucine to lysine ratios on jejunal and hepatic protein expression in commercial broilers
(2023-12-06)
Valine, leucine, and isoleucine are three essential amino acids, commonly known as branched-chain amino acids (BCAA). Inadequate concentrations of BCAA in poultry diets have been related to the generation of antagonistic ...
Interactive effects of dietary isoleucine and valine ratios to lysine in response to varying leucine to lysine ratios on Pectoralis major protein expression in commercial broilers
(2023-08-07)
The branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) consists of valine, leucine and isoleucine. The optimum ratio for each of the 3 BCAA is still unknown. Inadequate concentrations have been related to generate interactions among each ...
Investigating the Effects of Functional Ice (FICE) on Food Safety, Shelf-life and Quality of Poultry Thigh Meat During Refrigerated Storage
(2019-07-12)
Food Safety and microbiological spoilage are two major concerns during the extended periods of refrigerated storage and transportation. Antimicrobial interventions applied during the poultry processing may not have a ...
Investigation of West African plant extracts as alternative, natural sources of antimicrobials against foodborne pathogens and spoilage organisms
(2018-05-10)
Consumers demand clean-label food products, necessitating the search for new, natural antimicrobials to meet demand while ensuring food safety. The purpose of this project was to evaluate the antimicrobial properties of ...
Kinetics of Rebaudioside A Degradation in Buffer Solutions as Affected by UV Light Exposure
(2016-08-04)
Rebaudioside A is a natural non-caloric high-potency sweetener extracted from the leaves of Stevia rebaudiana. With rebaudioside A use increasing in foods, understanding factors affecting its stability is necessary. The ...
Lean Six Sigma Approach to Improve Further Processing Efficiency using Burger Manufacturing as a Model Process.
(2024-04-26)
Operations management plays a crucial role in industries, enhancing operations through the application of process improvement philosophies. Among these, Six Sigma reduces variation, and Lean Manufacturing ensures quality ...
Longitudinal Studies of Escherichia coli, Campylobacter jejuni, and Salmonella Ssp. in Broiler Chickens Using Automated Ribotyping
(2005-12-15)
The prevalence, distribution and characteristics of Escherichia coli, Campylobacter jejuni, and Salmonella spp. through an integrated broiler chicken operation from the day of hatch through processing were examined. Two ...
Method for Isolating Immature Chicken Oocytes
(2009-12-18)
Knowledge of the development of the avian oocyte has been difficult to obtain due to the physical package of the oocyte at ovulation. The ability to isolate and culture avian oocytes, prior to the accumulation of large ...
Microbial Analysis of Shelled Eggs and Chemical and Functional Analysis of Liquid Eggs
(2007-12-15)
Research has shown that the incidence of Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) in commercially processed table eggs is approximately 1 in 20,000. Although there has been great evolution of the egg industry, cases of SE infection ...
Microbial Quality of Aquaculture Water Used for Produce Irrigation
(2018-07-23)
The use of recycled water from an aquaculture fish tank to irrigate produce, or aquaponics, has grown rapidly in the past decades, with a large diversity of system designs. Since the water is reused from the fish tank, ...
Microbiological Evaluation of Commercially Manufactured Animal Feeds to Determine Presence of Salmonella, Escherichia coli and Clostridium perfringens
(2020-07-14)
Animal feed can potentially expose animals to pathogens which may lead to infection or colonization of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Feeds can become contaminated with bacterial pathogens during harvesting/transportation ...
A new methodology to measure internal particle size in pellets and to quantify the degree of grinding during pelleting
(2022-11-29)
Grinding and pelleting are the major costs during feed production. Previous research has shown that ingredients’ particle size can influence poultry performance, organ development, and nutrient digestibility. Particle ...
Nutrient Digestibility, Growth Performance, and Carcass Characteristics of Broilers Fed Diets Formulated with Low Oligosaccharide Soybean Meals
(2012-07-19)
The objective of this research was to evaluate nutrient digestibility, growth performance, and processing yields of Ross × Ross 708 male broilers fed diets formulated with low oligosaccharide soybean meal (LOSBM) and ...
Nutritional strategies for mitigating wooden breast and white striping myopathies of the Pectoralis major muscles in broiler chickens
(2017-04-17)
Throughout the last decade, broiler producers have increasingly noted the presence of wooden breast (WB) and white striping (WS) in the Pectoralis major muscles (breast fillet) of broilers. Non-genetic factors, such as ...
Optimization of Enrichment Protocol for Campylobacter Detection
(2014-10-30)
Poultry meat represents the primary source of Campylobacter-associated foodborne illness. The current methods set forth by USDA-FSIS for qualitative detection of Campylobacter from poultry involve selective enrichment to ...
