The effects of cyclopropenoid fatty acids on the growth, blood lipids, and viral infectivity of White Leghorn chickens

Creator:

Swanson, Joy Emily

Abstract:

Three studies were designed to evaluate the promoting effect of cyclopropenoid fatty acids (CPFA) on avian myeloblastosis virus (AMV) infection in White Leghorn chickens. In the first study effects on growth parameters, blood serum and erythrocyte lipid composition of White Leghorn chickens were investigated at 100 ppm and 300 ppm...

Non-specific innate immunity against Escherichia coli infection in white leghorn chickens

Creator:

Huang, Hsuan-Jen

Abstract:

This research was initiated to investigate a high mortality problem occurring in market age broiler chickens in Oregon. Initial field investigations revealed that mortality was due to the systemic bacterial infections. The subsequent laboratory experiments suggested that suppressed short-term, non-specific innate immunity rather than pathogenic properties of bacteria caused the...
