Gross and histological morphology and biometry of two muscles of flight were studied, 5 local Nigerian chickens, 5 broilers and 5 pigeons, were purchased from Sokoto meat market. Each of the birds were weighed, bled, their skin was dissected to expose and extract their flight muscle [supracoracoideus and pectoralis]. Biometrics of the muscles were obtained using a ruler, tape rule and measuring scale. The relative muscle weight was 9.41%, 11.60% and 21.20% in broiler, local chickens and pigeons respectively. Flight muscles in pigeon also appeared in color with numerous nuclei and mitochondria compared to broilers and local chickens, these justifies why pigeons could fly higher than broilers and local chickens.

The study was undertaken to examine production and reproduction performance of village chicken, egg quality traits and marketing in Dedo district, Jimma zone. Highland, midland and lowlands agro-ecologies of the district were purposively selected on the basis of poultry population and accessibility. Two peasant associations (PA) from each agro-ecology and 30 households from each of the six PAs were selected using stratified probability random sampling; hence a total of 180 (6x30) respondents were interviewed to collect the required data. And a total of 240 fresh eggs (80 from each agro-ecology) were purchased from sampled farmers on contractual bases for analyzing egg quality traits. Results of the study revealed that the growth performance and survival rate of chicks hatched from eggs collected were found to be poor. This study also pointed out that eggs collected were poor in most of the egg quality parameters; this might be due to poor storage period and condition of eggs. In the study area, chicken and egg were marketed informally and women and children (95%) were responsible for managing and marketing of chicken. There must be improvement in health care, control of predators and provision of better extension service, credit schemes and training opportunities for increasing the productivity of village chicken in the study area.

Polymorphic variants of few candidate genes have been reported to be associated with production traits in layers. The objective of the present study was to genotype the long term selected pure-line layer population for Growth Hormone Receptor (GHR), Insulin Like Growth Factor -1 (IGF-1) and Prolactin (PRL) hormone gene and to observe their association with layer traits. Layer traits were recorded on 1082 pullets up to the age of 40 weeks under standard management conditions. Genotyping study was performed on 90 randomly selected pullets with reported PCR-RFLP markers for GHR, IGF-1 and PRL genes. The studied population revealed polymorphic pattern for GHR, IGF-1 and monomorphic for PRL. The frequency of Hind III ++ and Pst I ++ genotypes were high in comparison to Hind III - - and Pst I + - genotypes for GHR and IGF-1 gene respectively. Genotype-trait association analysis revealed a trend of association with means of some traits; however, the associations were not significant. The allelic and genotypic frequency of PRL gene at both promoter sites was 1.00 which confirmed the loss of broodiness in studied population. Results of this study indicated that direction of selection has supported the favourable alleles of GHR and IGF-1 genes in the studied layer population The Chi-square (χ2) test for goodness of fit was used to find out difference among various genotypes.
据报道，一些候选基因的多态性变异与蛋鸡的生产性状有关。本研究旨在对长期筛选的蛋鸡纯系群体进行生长激素受体(GHR)、胰岛素样生长因子-1 (IGF-1)和催乳素(PRL)激素基因分型，并观察其与蛋鸡性状的关系。在标准管理条件下，记录了1082只40周龄的蛋鸡的蛋层性状。用PCR-RFLP标记GHR、IGF-1和PRL基因，随机选择90只小母鸡进行基因分型研究。研究群体GHR、IGF-1基因呈多态性，PRL基因呈单态。GHR和IGF-1基因的Hind III ++和Pst I ++基因型频率分别高于Hind III -和Pst I + -基因型。基因型-性状相关分析揭示了部分性状的相关趋势;然而，这些关联并不显著。PRL基因在两个启动子位点的等位基因频率和基因型频率均为1.00，证实了种群的失育性。本研究结果表明，选择方向支持了所研究的蛋鸡群体中GHR和IGF-1基因的有利等位基因。采用χ2检验拟合优度，分析各基因型之间的差异。

Livestock operations have transitioned over time from small farms to industrial facilities. Industrialized farms have improved the efficiency of animal management. However, there are problems with these large-scale operations, such as infectious disease and waste disposal [1]. Waste disposal can cause environmental issues, including soil erosion and the production of global greenhouse gases and air pollutants [2,3].

This study was carried out to determine the influence of adding sepiolite to the diet on performances of turkey. A total of 960 male broilers of the Hybrid strain were used. The animals received a DFIE starter food crumbled from day 1 to day 28, a growth food1 DF2G granulated from day 29 to day 42, a growth food 2 DF2-3G granulated from day 43 to day 63, a growth food. 3 DF3G pellet day 64 to day 84, and a DF4G finish growth food from day 85 to slaughter (day 119). The chicks have a starting average weight of about 56.8 g. Overall the rearing periods, the standard feed gave the best results in terms of average weight (56.9g) versus (13334.33g), respectively, during periods 1 and 10. The T1 food improved the consumption index and the T2 showed no significant effect. On the other hand, there were no significant differences between the three ST, T1 and T2 treatments and between the two litter types C and PB for the mortality rate. Although no significant difference between the two types of litter (C, PB), the wood chips have the best results in terms of improvement of performance and reduction of poultry diseases.

The rumen is a highly complex and dynamic ecosystem where, the microbiome displays symbiotic interactions and provides energy to ruminants through breakdown of plant fibers. The current study hypothesized that; microbiome deciphers niche specialization for nutrient utilization and engineers the rumen ecosystem comprehensively. It has raised the interest in fundamental understanding of the rumen microbiome to develop novel approaches for improving the livestock production. Present mini-review with current literature reveals upcoming ‘omics’ based approaches in order to ascertain the said purpose and would accomplish the major progress in animal phenotype improvement through Rumen microbiome understanding and their manipulation.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential effect of silver acetate (AgAc) on broiler chicken performance and necrotic enteritis development. The in vivo efficacy of AgAc delivered either by adding into the feed (as a prophylactic model) or via drinking water (as treatment model) during necrotic enteritis challenge was evaluated in two experiments. In Experiment 1, Feed-added AgAc, 210 one-d-old broiler chickens (Cobb-500) were blocked in 7dietary treatment groups (6 replicates/5 birds each) as follows: Positive control (no AgAc and no challenge, n=30), negative control (no AgAc and challenged, n=30), and 5 dietary AgAc treatments (n=30/treatment) fed 20, 40, 60, 80, 100mg/kg feed AgAc for 21-d rearing period and challenged. Necrotic enteritis was experimentally induced using an oral administration of netB positive-Clostridium perfringens type A (3ml per bird, 107 CFU/mL) on days 16 and 17. In Experiment 2, Water-added AgAc, the same protocol was followed except the birds (Ross-308) received the AgAc concentrations via drinking water for the last 4days of the 21-d rearing period. Body weight and feed intake were recorded by pen on days 10, 16 and 21 in both experiments. All birds were necropsied on d-21 to measure intestinal lesions associated with necrotic enteritis, and intestinal contents (med-ileum) of 12 birds per treatment were collected for Clostridium perfringens enumeration. Whether AgAc was added into the feed (for 21d) or in the water (4d), there were no differences (P>0.05) seen in bird performance, Clostridium perfringens enumeration, and lesion score compared to the positive and negative controls. These results suggest limitation effect of silver acetate on performance and reduce Clostridium perfringen colonization in broiler chickens.
