The development of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms prompted the investigation of possible antibiotic substitutes. As a result, the purpose of the current study is to assess the effect of dietary Spirulina platensis extract as an antibiotic altern...
Energy and the cAMP-response element binding protein (CREB)/steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR) signaling pathway play important roles in steroid hormone production and follicular development in hens. This present study aimed to investigate...
Computer vision technologies have been tested to monitor animals' behaviors and performance. High stocking density and small body size of chickens such as broiler and cage-free layers make effective automated monitoring quite challenging. Therefore, ...
Global market demand for chicken breast muscle with high yield and quality, together with the high incidence rate of breast muscle abnormalities in recent years highlights the need for tools that can provide a rapid and precise evaluation of breast m...

Utilizing large-scale epigenomics data, deep learning tools can predict the regulatory activity of genomic sequences, annotate non-coding genetic variants, and uncover mechanisms behind complex traits. However, these tools primarily rely on human or ...
Chicken is a major source of dietary protein worldwide. The dispersion and movement of chickens constitute vital indicators of their health and status. This is especially evident in Taiwanese native chickens (TNCs), a local variety which is high in p...
In the broiler-breeding industry, phenotype determination is critical. Leg weight is a fundamental indicator for breeding, and noninvasive testing technology can reduce damage to animals. This study proposes a broiler leg weight estimation system com...
The enclosed multistory poultry housing is a type of poultry enclosure widely used in industrial caged chicken breeding. Accurate identification and detection of the comb and eyes of caged chickens in poultry farms using this type of enclosure can en...
The extensive use of various pesticides in the agriculture field badly affects both chickens and humans, primarily through residues in food products and environmental exposure. This study offers the first quantitative structure-toxicity relationship ...
Welfare problems in broiler chickens are associated with accelerated growth in high density and barren environments. Encouraging broiler movement yields benefits by increasing locomotion, foraging, and environmental exploration. Robot sensors with au...
