Comparison of Plate Media for Isolation of Campylobacter from Live Broilers and Scheduled Delivery of Broiler Flocks to Reduce Cross-contamination with Campylobacter

Potturi-Venkata, Lakshmi-Pras (2006-12-15)

Campylobacters are bacteria that are a major cause of diarrheal illness in humans and are generally regarded as the most common bacterial cause of gastroenteritis worldwide. Disease control studies have demonstrated that ...

Complete Replacement of Soybean Meal in Pig Diets with Hydrolyzed Feather Meal with Blood by Amino Acid Supplementation Based on Standardized Ileal Digestibility

Brotzge, Sean (2013-03-28)

The current study was conducted to examine the possibility of completely replacing soybean meal (SBM) with hydrolyzed feather meal with blood (FM) by supplementing with appropriate AA based on standardized ileal digestible ...

Complexed Trace Mineral Supplementation of Broiler Diets

Saenmahayak, Benya (2007-08-15)

Series of experiments were conducted to determine the effects of Zn and Mn complexes (C-Zn and C-Mn) on live performance, carcass, skin quality, and meat quality of male broilers. The first experiment evaluated the effects ...

Effect of Dietary Phosphorus Level and Phytase Enzymes on Broiler Performance and Bone Mineralization

Shaw, Ashley (2010-07-06)

A series of experiments evaluated dietary levels of non-phytate phosphorus (npP), with or without phytase enzyme supplementation in corn-soybean meal diets, on growth and skeletal performance in the broiler chicken. A ...

The Effect of Gelatin and Dietary Crude Protein Level on Broilers Vaccinated for Coccidiosis

Lehman, Regina (2008-08-15)

Vaccinating for coccidiosis has been shown to adversely affect live performance of broilers compared to those given a dietary anticoccidial. Feeding diets with higher crude protein alleviates negative response to vaccination, ...

Effect of Management on the Bacterial Community Present in Poultry Litter

Williams, Zachary (2012-07-16)

An unwanted byproduct of commercial broiler chicken grow out is thousands of tons of litter. This litter is the material on which the broiler chicken spends its entire life. Litter consists of a starting material, ...

Effect of Phytase and Glucanase, Alone or in Combination, on Nutritive Value of Corn and Soybean Meal Fed to Broilers

Leslie, Michael (2006-12-15)

In order to efficiently use exogenous enzymes, the effects of these products on nutrient availability must be determined. A series of experiments were designed to evaluate a phytase and a glucanase supplemented to ...

Effects of Animal Fat, Flaxseed Oil, and Vitamin E on Growth Performance and Metabolic Profile of Finisher Pigs, Physical and Organoleptic Characteristics of Pork, and Gene Expression in Adipose and Muscle Tissues of Finisher Pigs

Huang, Chunxi (2017-12-01)

Producing high-quality pork is an integral part of successful and sustainable pig production. Lipid content and composition is central to the nutritional value and eating quality of pork. The objective of this project was ...

Effects of feeding reduced crude protein diets while maintaining essential amino acids and total glycine + serine concentrations on growth performance, nitrogen excretion, plasma uric acid concentrations, and carcass characteristics of broilers

Kriseldi, Ruben (2016-10-04)

An excessive reduction of crude protein (CP) content in broiler diets has been resulting in poor growth performance. This may be due to sub-optimum concentrations of Val, Ile, Arg, and Trp. Additionally, total Gly + Ser ...

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 ...

Evaluation of Nutrition and Management Factors in the Etiology of Pododermatitis in Broiler Chickens

Nagaraj, Manonmani (2006-12-15)

The influence of nutrition and management factors in the etiology of pododermatitis (paw burns) was evaluated in three trials. Broilers of mixed sex were raised on four experimental diets with varying protein levels (high ...

Longitudinal Studies of Escherichia coli, Campylobacter jejuni, and Salmonella Ssp. in Broiler Chickens Using Automated Ribotyping

McCrea, Brigid (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

James, Candace (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 ...

Nutrient Digestibility, Growth Performance, and Carcass Characteristics of Broilers Fed Diets Formulated with Low Oligosaccharide Soybean Meals

Perryman, Kurt (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 ...
