Stress in poultry breeding flocks results in elevated in ovo monoamines affecting behavior and physiology. We injected Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) eggs with 10 μl of 0.05M (n = 111) or 0.01M (n = 113) concentrations ...

Meiotic recombination is a fundamental biological process in which parental genetic materials are exchanged during egg or sperm development. Recombination is necessary for proper chromosomal disjunction during meiosis. ...

Pluripotent stem cells in the domestic cat model represent a huge potential for disease modeling, drug screening and regenerative medical treatments for feline species as well as for humans. However, current knowledge on ...

Campylobacter jejuni (CJ) is one of the pre-dominant causative agents of acute gastroenteritis in the US and occurs commonly through handling/consumption of contaminated poultry products. Probiotics with enhanced bioactive ...

Epigenetic modifications constitute a complicated regulatory network controlling various biological processes from cell development to immune responses. The mechanisms through which CD4+ T cells react to environmental ...

The generation of functional, mature germ cells in order to pass on its genetic information to the next generation is of paramount importance to a species’ survival. As a result, primordial germ cells (PGC), the precursor ...

Dry lots, or small paddocks bare of vegetation, are commonly used to manage over- conditioned equids in order to restrict the diet by offering hay lower in digestible energy and non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) compared ...

Genomic selection has emerged as an effective approach in dairy cattle breeding, in which the key is prediction of genetic merit using dense SNP genotypes, i.e., genomic prediction. To improve the accuracy of genomic ...

Methane emissions from ruminants have become an issue over the last 50 years. Previous research has shown that methane emissions are stoichiometrically linked with volatile fatty acid (VFA) profiles in ruminant animals. ...
