Salmonella is a foodborne pathogen that causes salmonellosis, of which retail chicken meat is a major source. However, the prevalence of Salmonella in different retail chicken supply modes and the threat posed to consumers remains unclear. The preval...
Total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) and total viable count (TVC) are important freshness indicators of meat. Hyperspectral imaging combined with chemometrics has been proven to be effective in meat detection. However, a challenge with chemometrics ...
Genomic prediction plays an increasingly important role in modern animal breeding, with predictive accuracy being a crucial aspect. The classical linear mixed model is gradually unable to accommodate the growing number of target traits and the increa...
The traditional aviary decontamination process involves farmers applying pesticides to the aviary's ground. These agricultural defenses are easily dispersed in the air, making the farmers susceptible to chronic diseases related to recurrent exposure....
Smart farm environments, equipped with cutting-edge technology, require proficient techniques for managing poultry. This research investigates automated chicken counting, an essential part of optimizing livestock conditions. By integrating artificial...
A wealth of experimental evidence has suggested that open chromatin regions (OCRs) are involved in many critical biological activities, such as DNA replication, enhancer activity, and gene transcription. Accurately identifying OCRs in livestock speci...
