Therefore, it was concluded that the observed higher sodium concentration in tissue from broiler type birds was attributable to genuine differences in the relative intracellular sodium content.
Broiler type geese can go to market at 8-9 weeks of age at a body weight of 4.0 kg and heavy type geese can go to market at 12-14 weeks of age at a body weight of 6.0 kg.
To obtain a large collection of SNPs and their MAF in a collection of broiler and layer breeds, we constructed 4 different reduced representation libraries (RRLs, see Material and Methods) from 4 distinct chicken populations; two broiler type chickens (B1 and B2) and a brown (BL) and white layer line (WL).
To access the chicken CNV landscape, we selected 64 animals from 6 commercial lines (layer and broiler types), 7 experimental lines (layer and broiler types), Red Jungle Fowls and Silkies.
One-day old broilers (type Ross 308) were obtained from a commercial hatchery.
This full-text file reports U.S. commercial hatchery data on number of broiler-type and egg-type chicks hatched, monthly, major states and U.S.; number of eggs in incubators on the first of each month by region and U.S.; broiler chicks placed and eggs set by weeks for the 15 selected states; turkey poults placed and turkey eggs in incubators by region and U.S.
This annual report contains U.S. commercial hatchery data on the number of broiler-type and egg-type chicks hatched monthly in major states and U.S., the number of eggs in incubators on the first of each month by region and U.S., broiler chicks placed and eggs set by week for 19 selected states and the U.S., and U.S. turkey poults placed and turkey eggs in incubators.
"It looks like a small pin-feather, from a broiler-type chicken that would be used for meat in just about any kind of processed chicken product," Wolfe told ABC57.com, adding that the defeathering process can break the pin feather and lodge it in the bird's skin.
A price spread of less than 76% (i.e., DDGS = 76% of corn price), in which DDGS inclusion was at its maximum level, ; a price spread ranging between 76% and 94%, where DDGS was included in frequent periods depending on the broiler diet type; and a price spread greater than 94%.
Studies were performed using 10-day old non-sexed commercial Lohmann broiler chickens (type Ross) with an approx. weight of 100 g randomly divided into groups of 3-30 individuals (the cohort size varied in different studies).
For example, a comparison of abdominal fat between meat-type (broiler) and egg-type chickens (layer) at a single physical age (10 wk), albeit at different physiological ages, focused attention on the up-regulation of LPL in broiler chickens and higher expression of APOA1 in layers [ 88].
