The Effect of Breed and Age on the Growth Performance, Carcass Traits and Metabolic Profile in Breast Muscle of Chinese Indigenous Chickens

Shaolin Deng et al.

Summary: This study examined the growth performance, carcass characteristics, and muscle metabolites of crossbred broiler and two indigenous, yellow-feathered chickens in China. The crossbred broiler showed better feed efficiency and muscle yield, as well as lower abdominal fat percentage compared to the indigenous chickens. Metabolomics analysis revealed differences in sugars, amino acids, and organic acids among the three chicken breeds. The study also found significant differences in growth performance and carcass traits of yellow-feathered chickens with the extension of the feeding period. Furthermore, different metabolites reflected altered metabolic pathways affected by age in yellow-feathered chickens. Overall, this study provides important insights into the production efficiency and chemical composition of precursor flavor in indigenous, yellow-feathered chickens in China.

Effects of synbiotic on growth, digestibility, immune and antioxidant performance in broilers

Dan Song et al.

Summary: The overuse of in-feed antibiotics can lead to antibiotic resistance and drug residues in poultry products. This study investigated the effects of a synbiotic, composed of microencapsulated Lactobacillus plantarum and fructooligosaccharide, on the growth, immune and antioxidant parameters, and digestibility of calcium and phosphorus in broilers. The results showed that the synbiotic had positive effects on the measured parameters, suggesting its potential as a substitute for antibiotics.

Pyroptosis: mechanisms and diseases

Pian Yu et al.

Summary: Pyroptosis has gained attention for its association with innate immunity and diseases. The discovery of the gasdermin family has expanded the research scope of pyroptosis, revealing its potential effects on tumor development. Pyroptosis serves as a double-edged sword in tumors, with the rational utilization of its dual effect providing insights for new drug development and understanding tumor formation and progression.

General considerations for sample size estimation in animal study

Mun Jung Ko et al.

Summary: Sample size calculation is crucial in demonstrating the effectiveness and accuracy of a study, with flexibility required to estimate sample size based on research objectives and situations in animal studies. Most animal experiments are considered exploratory, so considering other factors in conducting the experiment may be more appropriate than solely estimating sample size to maintain scientific and qualitative levels.
