Development of a sandwich ELISA for determining plasma prolactin concentration in domestic birds.

Domestic animal endocrinology
The present study was conducted to establish a sandwich ELISA for the determination of prolactin (PRL) concentrations in the plasma of domestic fowls. The assay uses a recombinant goose PRL as the reference standard, expressed in a eukaryotic system,...

Classification of Chicken Parts Using a Portable Near-Infrared (NIR) Spectrophotometer and Machine Learning.

Applied spectroscopy
Identification of different chicken parts using portable equipment could provide useful information for the processing industry and also for authentication purposes. Traditionally, physical-chemical analysis could deal with this task, but some disadv...

Robust and semantic needle detection in 3D ultrasound using orthogonal-plane convolutional neural networks.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: During needle interventions, successful automated detection of the needle immediately after insertion is necessary to allow the physician identify and correct any misalignment of the needle and the target at early stages, which reduces needl...

Predicting heat stress index in Sasso hens using automatic linear modeling and artificial neural network.

International journal of biometeorology
There is an increasing use of robust analytical algorithms in the prediction of heat stress. The present investigation therefore, was carried out to forecast heat stress index (HSI) in Sasso laying hens. One hundred and sixty seven records on the the...

Label-free screening of foodborne Salmonella using surface plasmon resonance imaging.

Analytical and bioanalytical chemistry
It is estimated that 95% of the foodborne infections are caused by 15 major pathogens. Therefore, rapid and effective multiplex screening techniques for these pathogens with improved efficiencies could benefit public health at lower costs. Surface pl...

Modeling and Multiresponse Optimization for Anaerobic Codigestion of Oil Refinery Wastewater and Chicken Manure by Using Artificial Neural Network and the Taguchi Method.

BioMed research international
To study the optimum process conditions for pretreatments and anaerobic codigestion of oil refinery wastewater (ORWW) with chicken manure, L (3) Taguchi's orthogonal array was applied. The biogas production (BGP), biomethane content (BMP), and chemic...

Antimicrobial efficacy of Syzygium antisepticum plant extract against Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant S. aureus and its application potential with cooked chicken.

Food microbiology
For the past decades, there has been a growing demand for natural antimicrobials in the food industry. Plant extracts have attracted strong research interests due to their wide-spectrum antimicrobial activities, but only a limited number have been in...

Automated early detection of drops in commercial egg production using neural networks.

British poultry science
1. The purpose of this work was to support decision-making in poultry farms by performing automatic early detection of anomalies in egg production. 2. Unprocessed data were collected from a commercial egg farm on a daily basis over 7 years. Records f...

NoGOA: predicting noisy GO annotations using evidences and sparse representation.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: Gene Ontology (GO) is a community effort to represent functional features of gene products. GO annotations (GOA) provide functional associations between GO terms and gene products. Due to resources limitation, only a small portion of anno...

Broiler weight estimation based on machine vision and artificial neural network.

British poultry science
1. Machine vision and artificial neural network (ANN) procedures were used to estimate live body weight of broiler chickens in 30 1-d-old broiler chickens reared for 42 d. 2. Imaging was performed two times daily. To localise chickens within the pen,...
