Chicken liver

Ebook "Favourite herbs: Delectable recipes subtly flavored with herbs" is a collection of exciting dishes and tempting food ideas enhanced by the natural flavours of popular culinary herbs. Sweet basil with its delicious flavour and scent is a versatile herb. It is especially renowned for its affinity with tomatoes, and is also excellent with eggplant, zucchini, marrow, squash and spinach. The chopped leaves, added towards the end of cooking time, give a wonderful flavour to many soups.

Avian hepatitis E virus (HEV) is the pathogenic agent of big liver and spleen disease (BLS) and of hepatitis-splenomegaly syndrome (HSS) in chickens, which have caused economic losses to the poultry industry in China.

In avian species, liver is the main site of de novo lipogenesis, and hepatic lipid metabolism relates closely to adipose fat deposition. Using our fat and lean chicken lines of striking differences in abdominal fat content, post-hatch lipid metabolism in both liver and adipose tissues has been studied extensively. However, whether molecular discrepancy for hepatic lipid metabolism exists in chicken embryos remains obscure.

Divergent selection for meat and egg production in poultry has resulted in strains of birds differing widely in traits related to these products. Modern strains of meat birds can reach live weights of 2 kg in 35 d, while layer strains are now capable of producing more than 300 eggs per annum but grow slowly. In this study, RNA-Seq was used to investigate hepatic gene expression between three groups of birds with large differences in growth potential; meat bird, layer strain as well as an F1 layer x meat bird.

Because the cost of cereals is unstable and represents a large part of production charges for meattype chicken, there is an urge to formulate alternative diets from more cost-effective feedstuff. We have recently shown that meat-type chicken source is prone to adapt to dietary starch substitution with fat and fiber.

A strain of Leghorn chickens (rd/rd), unable to produce a functional riboflavin-binding protein, lays riboflavin-deficient eggs, in which all embryos suddenly die at mid-incubation (days 13-15). This malady, caused by riboflavin deficiency, leads to excessive lipid accumulation in liver, impaired β-oxidation of lipid, and severe hypoglycemia prior to death.

We present results from a computational analysis developed to integrate transcriptome and metabolomic data in order to explore the heat stress response in the liver of the modern broiler chicken. Heat stress is a significant cause of productivity loss in the poultry industry, both in terms of increased livestock morbidity and its negative influence on average feed efficiency.

Overfeeding reduces laying performance in broiler breeder hens, which is associated with obesity, hepatic steatosis and systemic inflammation. To unravel the underlying mechanisms governing the effect of feeding regimes on energy metabolism and egg production, a transcriptomics approach was carried out for screening differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in ovary, liver and adipose tissues of broiler chickens under ad libitum and restricted feeding.

Gene expression variation is a key underlying factor influencing phenotypic variation, and can occur via cis- or trans-regulation. To understand the role of cis- and trans-regulatory variation on population divergence in chicken, we developed reciprocal crosses of two chicken breeds, White Leghorn and Cornish Game, which exhibit major differences in body size and reproductive traits, and used them to determine the degree of cis versus trans variation in the brain, liver, and muscle tissue of male and female 1-day-old specimens.

Lipids are important for the cell and organism life since they are major components of membranes, energy reserves and are also signal molecules. The main organs for the energy synthesis and storage are the liver and adipose tissue, both in humans and in more distant species such as chicken.

The fasting-refeeding perturbation has been used extensively to reveal specific genes and metabolic pathways that control energy metabolism in the chicken. Most global transcriptional scans of the fasting-refeeding response in liver have focused on juvenile chickens that were 1, 2 or 4 weeks old.

This study was conducted to detect Ascaris suum, Toxocara canis, and Toxocara cati in naturally infected chicken livers, and then to provide information related to ascarid infections in humans. Ninetyfour chicken liver samples collected at a fresh market were used for this study. DNA was extracted from each minced liver sample (500 mg) by the alkaline lysis method using NaOH 50mM and Tris-HCl (pH 8.0).

Estrogen plays an essential role in female development and reproductive function. In chickens, estrogen is critical for lipid metabolism in the liver. The regulatory molecular network of estrogen in chicken liver is poorly understood.

DNA methylation, a biochemical modification of cytosine, has an important role in lipid metabolism. Fatty liver hemorrhagic syndrome (FLHS) is a serious disease and is tightly linked to lipid homeostasis. Herein, we compared the methylome and transcriptome of chickens with and without FLHS.

Two hundred and forty (240) numbers of day old broiler straight run chicks were wing banded, weighed and randomly allotted to 5 groups 6 replicates of eight chicks each based on the body weight. The treatments were, Basal diet without CoQ10 supplementation, Low energy diet without CoQ10 supplementation, Low energy diet with 20mg of CoQ10 /kg diet, Low energy diet with 40mg of CoQ10/kg diet, Low energy diet with 60mg of Co Q /kg diet.

Liver is one of the important organs in the body that regulates various metabolisms in the body and having multiple functions. It is difficult to study all the functions of the liver in vivo, because of other organs interventions. Hence, the liver parenchymal cells (hepatocytes) were cultured in vitro in order to study the different activities of the liver. In the present study, we standardized culturing of chicken embryo hepatocytes from 12 to 14 days old embryos. Here we have used 0.125% trypsin EDTA to disaggregate the parenchymal cells of the liver.

Salmonella is a foodborne pathogen having a worldwide public health concern. The present study was undertaken to characterize Salmonella typhimurium of animal origin based on cultural isolation and genetic diversity studies by employing ERIC-PCR and REP-PCR. A total of 516 samples comprising poultry cloacal swabs (249), raw foods of animal origin (118 chicken samples, 65 mutton and 30 pork), 17 poultry liver swabs and 37 poultry farm water samples were examined for presence of Salmonella serovars.

Seven dead commercial layer birds of 84 weeks age were examined to know the cause of death. The total flock size was 50,000 and birds were raised in cages from day one of age. The total mortality over a period of 10 weeks was 2.1 per cent. The birds appeared dull and depressed. At necropsy, ovary, pancreas revealed swollen and greyish nodular growth, firm in consistency and smooth when cut. Histopathology of ovary, liver, heart and brain corroborated with the gross lesions. Reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV) was confirmed by conducting polymerase chain reaction (PCR) (Mitra et al., 2013).

Caecal coccidiosis was diagnosed in Rajasri birds of nineteen weeks age presented for routine postmortem examination at Department of Veterinary Pathology, College of Veterinary Science, Hyderabad. Clinically birds showed inappetence, depression, ruffled feathers, bloody diarrhea, anemia and mortality of about 21 birds out of 65 birds (32.3%) for a period of two weeks. Grossly, extremely ballooned caeca, white necrotic foci visible from outside of caeca, haemorrhagic enteritis, watery ingesta mixed with mucus and blood were observed.
