(2012-02-14)Environmental microbiology has traditionally been performed using culture-based methods. However, in the last few decades, the emergence of molecular methods has changed the field considerably. The latest development in ...
-
(2017-07-18)The microbial quality of eggs entering the hatchery is an important critical control point for biosecurity, pathogen reduction, and food safety programs in poultry production. Developing interventions to reduce Salmonella ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)Cell-to-cell communication, termed quorum sensing, mediated by AI-2 like activity, has been reported to regulate the expression of a variety of genes in E. coli O157:H7. A previous study in our laboratory has shown that ...
-
(2009-05-15)Three saponin-rich extracts (20, 60, 100% methanol), four 100% methanol subfractions and seven independently acquired fractions (A-G) from guar meal, Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L. (syn. C. psoraloides), were evaluated for ...
-
(2021-01-15)Functional additives are used in poultry production to deliver benefits beyond the nutritive value of the additives. Although benefits of functional additive administration have been previously demonstrated, the mechanisms ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)Autoinducer 2 (AI-2) is a quorum sensing signal employed by bacteria to coordinate their response to environmental stresses. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between presence of AI-2 molecules, ...
-
(2013-11-26)The best way to prevent infectious disease is to directly establish mucosal immunity and also induce circulatory immunity to avoid pathogen invasion and spread. In our first study, we tested the hypothesis that a single ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)Chemokines triggered by Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are small chemoattractant proteins, which mainly regulate leukocyte trafficking in inflammatory reactions via interaction with G protein-coupled receptors. Forty-two ...
-
(2018-07-06)In the chicken, Peyer’s patches (PPs) represent a crucial gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) responsible for antigen sampling and activation of T-cells and B-cells. This involves antigen presentation in the context of ...
-
(2021-06-09)Nontyphoidal Salmonella enterica infections are a concern for the agricultural and public health sectors. The aims of my research were to develop novel Salmonella inhibition strategies and explore the avian immune system. ...
-
(2010-07-14)Marek?s disease virus serotype-1 (MDV-1) causes T cell lymphomas in chickens. Vaccines prepared from attenuated CVI988/Rispens MDV-1 strain currently offer the best protection. Although attenuated CVI988 is non-oncogenic, ...
-
(2017-08-01)A rapid and effective means to clean and disinfect affected premises is needed by the poultry industry. Commercially available foaming disinfectants and cleaners applied via a compressed air foam system (CAFS) may be used ...
-
(2013-04-24)Chicken nuggets are commonly made with varying levels of textured vegetable proteins such as soy and wheat, for their ability to bind water and their meat like conformation. This project compared textured wheat proteins ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)Continuous multi-phase feeding of broiler chickens was evaluated to optimize broiler nutrition and minimize environmental impact related to excess nitrogen in poultry manure. Four experiments were conducted. Experiments ...
-
(2012-10-19)Public health concerns associated with high prevalence of foodborne salmonellosis, the emergence of antibiotic-resistant organisms and the identification of poultry meat and products as one of the most common sources of ...
-
(2018-01-18)Nutritional formula is an economical key factor to raise poultry. β-mannanase breaks the non-starch polysaccharide (NSP) backbone chains in plant-based feed, then NSP is divided into mannose or mannan-oligosaccharide (MOS). ...
-
(2014-11-17)The objectives of this research were to evaluate common biological measures of aflatoxicosis in broilers (such as growth rate and relative organ weights) along with variables such as hepatic gene expression and aflatoxin ...
-
(2013-12-10)Egg sanitization is important for hatchery sanitation, hatchability and hatchling health. A method of egg sanitization that applies hydrogen peroxide (H_(2)O_(2)) to the eggshell followed by ultraviolet light (UV) exposure ...
-
(2020-03-23)Infectious bursal disease (IBD) is one of the biggest concerns for poultry farms because of significant economic losses due to high morbidity. Moreover, surviving birds are immunocompromised and susceptible to other ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)Riboflavin is an essential part of the human diet. Although the United States does not have a major problem with a riboflavin deficiency, other regions of the world do. This is especially true for those regions whose main ...
