Cook, Christian L (2017-09-05)The studies described herein were designed to characterize measures of immune responsiveness in weaned Brahman calves, breeding bulls and cows. Experiment 1 included 55 weaned bull and 57 weaned heifer Brahman calves. ...
-
Vuong, Christine Nguyen (2017-09-19)Targeting the CD40 receptor displayed by antigen-presenting cells to deliver a specific immunogen has been successfully used to enhance immune responses, specifically increasing antibody production and enhancing antibody ...
-
Chou, Wen-Ko (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 ...

Qu, Wenqing (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 ...
-
Fowler, Justin Case (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 ...
-
Escandon, Paulina (2020-01-13)Avian bornavirus (ABV) is the causal agent of a progressive fatal avian neurologic syndrome referred to as Parrot bornavirus syndrome, a complex of clinical problems that can include enteric ganglioneuritis and encephalitis, ...
-
Blount, Rachel Lucette (2016-12-06)Research undertakings have indicated that the hen’s diet has an impact on the quality of the eggs she produces. Healthier birds generally result in greater production numbers, which benefits the producer in terms of profit, ...
-
Cantu, Karely (2018-07-31)Commercial duck and turkey hatching eggs typically have high microbial loads due to their highly soiled nature. As a result, the commercial turkey and duck breeder industries typically wash hatching eggs prior to incubation. ...
-
Park, Jung-Woo (2014-12-10)In this study, Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation yeast product was fed to broilers to investigate the effect of yeast products on the broiler immune function. The broilers were vaccinated for Newcastle Disease Virus ...
-
Praveen, Chandni (2014-04-16)Vaccines against infectious diseases are a corner stone of public health globally. Vaccine technology based on attenuation, conventionally “killed” or cellular sub-units suffer from significant drawbacks. Live attenuated ...
-
Chen, Chang-Hsin 1977- (2012-07-27)Necrotic enteritis (NE) is an economically important enteric disease of broiler chicken primarily caused by a-toxin (Cpa) secreted by C. perfringens type A. Mice immunized with recombinant C-terminal domain of Cpa (CpaCD) ...
-
THE ENUMERATION AND MITIGATION OF MICROBIAL LOADS ON HATCHING EGGS, EMBRYOS AND NEWLY HATCHED CHICKS Cantu, Karely (2021-07-08)Commercial hatcheries are an integral part of poultry production, and the quality of hatchlings produced at the hatchery can have important impacts throughout the rest of the production chain. Microbial contamination of ...

Suarez Martinez, Juan Carlos (2017-02-21)Our lab has identified the functional metabolites of Diamond V Original XPC™ (XPC) as a potential strategy to be used by the poultry industry to enhance immune function and poultry health. Three experiments were conducted ...
-
Nelson, Jill (2020-06-09)Reducing stress is an important goal in poultry production. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae-derived yeast fermentation product Original XPC (XPC, Diamond V Mills, Cedar Rapids, IA, United States) has been shown to reduce the ...
-
Breaux, Breanna Laine (2018-07-03)The adaptive immune system is responsible for an antigen-specific response that is stronger and faster with each subsequent infection. The hallmarks of this response are the B cell and the T cell, which are responsible for ...
-
Skrobarczyk, Jill Wright (2023-07-28)Chickens possess a unique immune system that allows for production of antibodies by mechanisms typically not seen in mammals. These include the deposition of antibodies into the egg yolk for developing chicks, the dependence ...
-
Kallur, Sailaja (2012-12-07)The circadian system provides living organisms a means to adapt their internal physiology to constantly changing environmental conditions that exists on our rotating planet, Earth. Clocks in peripheral tissues are referred ...
-
Kim, Yuan Hwan (2009-05-15)The primary objectives of this research were to characterize the involvement of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in color stability of physiologically different bovine muscles, and to investigate the influence of lactate ...
-
Vijayakumaran Nair Sobha, Chandn 1983- (2009-12-14)Municipal biosolids generated from waste water treatment plants should be effectively disinfected before being used for beneficial purposes. Novel sewage sludge treatment technologies ensuring efficient microbial inactivation ...
-
Gillenwater, Stacy Jean (2017-08-03)No appreciable improvements in incidences and mortality rates of women with ovarian cancer have been made over the last 40 years; this fact alone indicates that scientists and clinicians lack the adequate tools to conquer ...
