Interleukin 10 controls the balance between tolerance, pathogen elimination, and immunopathology in birds Open
Effective mucosal immunity in the intestine involves a fine balance between tolerance of the microbiome, recognition, and elimination of pathogens, and inflammatory tissue injury. The anti-inflammatory cytokine IL10 regulates these process…
Genetic and Phenotypic Parameter Estimates of Body Weight and Egg Production Traits of Tilili Chicken in Ethiopia Open
High genetic variation in African indigenous chicken populations provides opportunities for long-term genetic improvement. This study estimated genetic parameters for economic traits based on data derived from a nucleus flock comprising tw…
Integrative multi-omics analysis of dietary fibre-induced modulations in the composition and function of chicken caecal microbiota Open
Background The sustainability of poultry farming faces significant challenges due to rising feed costs and competition with human food sources. Dietary fibre offers a promising, cost-effective alternative due to its beneficial impact on gu…

Growth resilience to weather variation in commercial free-ranging chickens in Ethiopia Open
Background The poultry industry in sub-Saharan Africa is a rapidly developing sector mostly based on smallholder farming. Increased demand for poultry-derived products, driven by the growing economy and population, has intensified importat…

Towards explaining the fertility gap in farmed Pekin ducks Open
Maximising reproductive success is crucial to animal production systems, particularly in meeting global demands for animal products and improving commercially important traits. However, while social interactions and mating strategies are k…

The ChickenGTEx atlas: the genetic regulation of multi-tissue and single-cell transcriptome signatures in chickens Open
Chicken is a valuable model for understanding fundamental biology and vertebrate evolution, as well as a major source of nutrient-dense and lean-protein-enriched food globally. Although it is the first non-mammalian amniote genome to be se…

90. In search of a new tool for phenotyping tick resistance in cattle Open
Ticks and tick borne diseases cause significant loss in livestock production with about 80% world's cattle at risk. The cost of chemical control is high and there is an ever increasing tick resistance to chemicals. Genetic selection as alt…
Parental methyl-enhanced diet and in ovo corticosterone affect first generation Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) development, behaviour and stress response Open
The role of maternal investment in avian offspring has considerable life history implications on production traits and therefore potential for the poultry industry. A first generation (G 1 ) of Japanese quail ( Coturnix japonica ) were bre…
Study design synopsis: Omics studies of fractures in the horse — Which technology is best? Open
The majority of horse fatalities (77%) sustained on race courses in Great Britain were associated with a bone injury [1]. Furthermore, 624 distal limb fractures were reported between 2000 and 2013 [2]. The published literature on the epide…

Genetic control of <i>Campylobacter</i> colonisation in broiler chickens: genomic and transcriptomic characterisation Open
Campylobacter is the leading cause of bacterial foodborne gastroenteritis in many countries. Source attribution studies unequivocally identify the handling or consumption of contaminated poultry meat as the primary risk factor. One potenti…
