Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is an enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus belonging to the genus Gammacoronavirus. It primarily infects avian species, causing respiratory and renal disease and irreversible damage to the oviduct, wh...

Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) is a ubiquitous microbe occurring in the environment and in the intestinal tract of poultry. E. faecalis has been identified in cases of egg infertility and/or decreased hatchability and can cause amyloid arthropat...

Colibacillosis is a chicken disease caused by avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC). Pathogenicity in birds is determined by the occurrence of bacterial genes encoding virulence factors in APEC strains. Furthermore, APEC and other bacterial infect...

Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a suitable process to use manure for biogas production. During this process, antimicrobial resistant (AMR) bacteria are reduced. In this study, we investigated the reduction of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-produ...

Knowledge about chickens’ immune response to infection with Enterococcus cecorum (EC) and prophylactic strategies is scarce. This study aimed to investigate the protective effect of an EC-specific hyperimmune serum after experimental challenge...

A social network is a group of individuals forming a non-random social structure where the number of interactions systematically vary among individuals. The Red Junglefowl, the ancestor of all domesticated chickens, has been shown to form social stru...

This experiment evaluated the effects of including buriti oil (BO) in the diet of broilers on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, carcass yield, meat quality, blood parameters, intestinal morphometry, the proliferation of collagen fibers in t...

The growth in quail egg production presents opportunities to utilize spent laying quail meat in value-added products, thereby enhancing the poultry industry. This study aimed to develop and evaluate sausages made with quail breast meat (QBM), chicken...

This study evaluated the effectiveness of phytobiotic supplementation in managing coccidiosis in broiler chickens, a disease that impacts productivity. Three hundred sixty Ross-308 one-day-old chicks were assigned to five treatment groups: control ne...

Avian Metapneumovirus (aMPV) is a significant poultry pathogen with a global presence, primarily causing respiratory issues in turkeys. It also affects chickens, although the severity of its impact is often lessened in this species. In Morocco, aMPV...

Chickens possess a well-developed vision that allows them to perceive a wide range of the color spectrum. In addition, they display an inherent sensitivity toward specific light spectra, which suggests that coloring feed could influence feed preferen...

This study was conducted to compare the fertility and hatchability performance of the Nigerian indigenous and exotic helmeted guinea fowls and predict egg weight from egg indices in Nigeria. A total of 300 randomly selected 8-month-old guinea fowls,...
