Major Oxidative and Antioxidant Mechanisms During Heat Stress-Induced Oxidative Stress in Chickens Open
Heat stress (HS) is one of the most important stressors in chickens, and its adverse effects are primarily caused by disturbing the redox homeostasis. An increase in electron leakage from the mitochondrial electron transport chain is the m…

Renal Sugar Metabolites and mRNA Expression of Glucose Transporters in Meat-Type Chickens with Differing Residual Water Intake Open
Molecular differences exist between birds with high residual water intake (HRWI) compared to those with low residual water intake (LRWI). Residual water intake (RWI) is defined as the difference between the water intake of a bird and the e…

Multitissue transcriptomics demonstrates the systemic physiology of methionine deficiency in broiler chickens Open
Methionine (Met) supplementation is common practice in broilers to support nutrition, yet there are gaps in the understanding of its role in systemic physiology. Furthermore, several different Met sources are available that may have differ…

Host transcriptome response to heat stress and Eimeria maxima infection in meat-type chickens Open
Eimeria (E . ) maxima parasite infects chickens’ midgut disrupting the jejunal and ileal mucosa causing high morbidity and mortality. Heat stress (HS) is a seasonal stressor that impacts biological functions leading to poor performance. Th…

Effect of Glucose Supplementation on Apoptosis in the Pectoralis major of Chickens Raised under Thermoneutral or Heat Stress Environment Open
Reduced feed intake during heat stress (HS) disrupts glucose homeostasis, thereby resulting in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and triggering apoptosis in chickens. We hypothesize that glucose supplementation could reduce apoptosis in ch…

Glucose Supplementation Improves Performance and Alters Glucose Transporters’ Expression in Pectoralis major of Heat-Stressed Chickens Open
Glucose level in birds’ tissue decreases due to heat stress (HS)-induced reduction in feed intake (FI); impairing metabolism and growth. The effect of glucose supplementation on the performance of broiler chickens was evaluated under therm…

Quantitative and molecular aspects of water intake in meat-type chickens Open
Even though water is the most essential nutrient for poultry production, adequate data on individual water intake in broiler chickens and its relationship with other traits of economic importance is scant. Water is provided to chickens in …

Temporal dynamics of the cecal and litter microbiome of chickens raised in two separate broiler houses Open
In this study, we investigated the dynamics of the ceca and litter microbiome of chickens from post-hatch through pre-harvest. To achieve this, six hundred one-day old Cobb 500 broiler chicks were raised on floor pens for 49 days in two se…

Heat Stress Alters the Effect of Eimeria maxima Infection on Ileal Amino Acids Digestibility and Transporters Expression in Meat-Type Chickens Open
Eimeria (E.) maxima invades the midgut of chickens and destroys the intestinal mucosa, impacting nutrient digestibility and absorption. Heat stress (HS) commonly affects the broiler chicken and contributes to inflammation and oxidative str…

Evaluation of live-attenuated Histomonas meleagridis isolates as vaccine candidates against wild-type challenge Open
Repeated serial in vitro passage of Histomonas meleagridis, the etiological agent of histomoniasis (blackhead) of turkeys, was demonstrated to markedly achieve attenuation and reduction of virulence as compared to the original wild-type is…

Heat stress reduces sexual development and affects pathogenesis of Eimeria maxima in meat-type chickens Open
Coccidiosis, caused by Eimeria spp. presents a self-limiting intestinal infection of poultry. Intestinal replication of the parasite causes severe morphological alterations to the host gastrointestinal tract, marked, among others, by the d…

Research Note: Evaluation of dietary administration of sodium chlorate and sodium nitrate for Histomonas meleagridis prophylaxis in turkeys Open
Histomoniasis is currently a re-emerging disease of major significance for many commercial turkey and broiler breeder production companies because of the unavailability of drugs or vaccines. The protozoa Histomonas meleagridis (HM) require…
