The objective of this research was to determine the optimum digestible Ile to Lys
ratios for Yield Plus × Ross 708 male broilers based on growth performance and carcass
characteristics from approximately 1.0 to 4.0 kg. ...
The Development and Application of Quantitative Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction for the Detection of Avian Reoviruses
(2008-08-15)
We developed a TaqMan probe based real-time RT-PCR for qualitative and quantitative detection of avian reoviruses (ARVs). The primer-probe set was designed from the conserved region of ARV S4 genome segment. ARV strains ...
The development and use of multiplex PCR protocols for the detection of Clostridium perfringens toxin encoding genes cpa, cpb, etx, ia, cpe, netB, and tpeL
(2013-04-19)
Clostridium perfringens (CP) is the etiological agent of necrotic enteritis (NE) and gangrenous dermatitis (GD) in poultry as well as CP enterotoxin (CPE)-mediated food poisoning in humans. All these diseases can cause ...
The Development and Validation of Prediction Equations for the Apparent Metabolizable Energy of Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles in Broilers
(2013-10-28)
The objective of this research was to develop regression equations that accurately predict the AMEn content of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) samples varying in ether extract content and to cross-validate ...
Development of a Surface Plasmon Resonance Biosensor for the Indentification of Campylobacter jejuni
(2006-08-15)
Bacteria are the most common foodborne pathogens, which can cause common, distressing, sometimes life-threatening foodborne diseases to any human around the world, especially elderly, debilitated, compromised people (cancer, ...
The Development of Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction for the Detection of Campylobacter jejuni
(2008-08-15)
Campylobacter jejuni (and related species) has been recognized as the most common pathogen that causes human bacterial gastroenteritis worldwide. It is the major cause of food-borne illnesses in the developed countries. ...
The effect of acid marinades on Listeria monocytogenes, shelf-life, meat quality, and consumer acceptability of beef frankfurters
(2009-08-07)
The USDA-FSIS requires processors producing ready-to-eat (RTE) meat and
poultry products exposed to the environment after the primary lethality step to employ
alternatives to kill or inhibit the growth of Listeria ...
Effect of biosecurity and management practices on the prevalence of Salmonella, Campylobacter, and Clostridium perfringens in a poultry production system
(2015-12-10)
Salmonella, Clostridium perfringens, and Campylobacter are responsible for 30% of all foodborne illness cases and 50% of foodborne illness hospitalizations in the United States. Many of these cases and outbreaks have been ...
Effect of Concrete Sealant on Survival of Foodborne Bacteria in Processing Environments
(2009-08-03)
Concrete sealants have been frequently used in the food industry to increase durability of concrete and decrease maintenance costs. In an attempt to associate these desirable properties of topical concrete sealants to a ...
