Tejeda, Oscar (2018-11-14)

Throughout the last 5 decades, the broiler industry has focused its efforts toward higher meat yields and more efficient production, leading to the adoption of state-of-the-art technology for production and as a way of ...

Effect of maternal and post-hatch dietary 25-hydroxycholecalciferol supplementation on broiler chicken growth characteristics and skeletal muscle satellite cell activity

Avila Godoy, Luis (2020-07-14) ETD File Embargoed

Including the vitamin D3 (D3) metabolite, 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (25OHD3) in broiler diets, has been shown to enhance the proliferative activity of skeletal muscle satellite cells (SC), induce the expression of pro-myogenic ...

Effects of the soy phytoestrogen genistein on the reproductive development of immature female broiler chickens

Stevenson, Lindsay (2007-05-15)

Developmentally inappropriate exposures to estrogenic compounds are known to alter morphology and function of the reproductive tract in various species. Chickens are continually exposed to the relatively potent estrogenic ...

The Efficacy of DL-Methionine Methylsulfonium Chloride on Performance Characteristics and Intestinal Tract Integrity in Broilers

Hendricks, Ashley (2007-05-15)

DL-methionine methylsulfonium chloride (MMSC) is a methionine derivative previously shown to modulate the immune system and to protect intestinal membrane cells in humans and swine. It has also been shown to improve body ...

The Estrogenic Effects of the Soy Phytoestrogen Genistein on the Liver and Bone of Chickens

Stevenson, Lindsay (2012-05-04)

Commercial chickens are known to develop various estrogen dependent diseases, including liver steatosis and osteoporosis. Studies involving both humans and animals have indicated that consuming soy protein may reduce the ...
