c-Met is a promising target in cancer therapy for its intrinsic oncogenic properties. However, there are currently no c-Met-specific inhibitors available in the clinic. Antibodies blocking the interaction with its only known ligand, hepatocyte growth...
Heat stress is one of the most important environmental stressors facing poultry production and welfare worldwide. The detrimental effects of heat stress on poultry range from reduced growth and egg production to impaired health. Animal vocalisations ...
The manual collection of eggs laid on the floor (or 'floor eggs') in cage-free (CF) laying hen housing is strenuous and time-consuming. Using robots for automatic floor egg collection offers a novel solution to reduce labor yet relies on robust egg d...
An improved fast region-based convolutional neural network (RCNN) algorithm is proposed to improve the accuracy and efficiency of recognizing broilers in a stunned state. The algorithm recognizes 3 stunned state conditions: insufficiently stunned, mo...
Galactooligosaccharides (GOS) delivered in ovo improve intestinal health of broiler chickens. This study aimed to demonstrate the impact of in ovo stimulation with GOS prebiotic on day 12 of egg incubation on performance and welfare traits in broiler...

Clostridium perfringens (C. perfringens) has the ability to form metabolically-dormant spores that can survive food preservation processes and cause food spoilage and foodborne safety risks upon germination outgrowth. This study was conducted to inve...
The effects of 3 ethanol levels (30, 50, and 70%) with and without thiamine dilaurylsulfate (TDS; 1,000 ppm) were evaluated for the reduction of natural mesophilic aerobic bacteria (MAB), coliforms, and inoculated Salmonella Typhimurium (S. Typhimuri...
Immunoassays such as the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) are utilized extensively for detecting protein biomarkers and small molecules in healthcare, environmental monitoring, and food analysis. Unfortunately, the current strategies for imm...
The effect of orally administered hawthorn flavonoid extract (HFE) on growth, electrocardiographic waves, and cardiac parameters of pulmonary hypertensive chickens reared at high altitude (2,100 m above sea level) was examined. A total of 225 one-day...
The sperm storage tubules located in the mucosal folds of the uterovaginal junction (UVJ) are the primary site of sperm storage in chicken hens after natural mating or artificial insemination (AI). The short-term sperm storage (24 h after mating or A...
