AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the characteristics of Salmonella Enteritidis found in two broiler chicken operations, focusing on both its genetic and phenotypic traits.
- The research revealed that key virulence genes were widespread among the S. Enteritidis isolates, indicating their potential for causing disease, with varying patterns of resistance to antibiotics observed.
- A total of 31 isolates were identified and differentiated based on their genetic patterns, with significant variations noted between the two chicken operations studied.
Article Abstract
The objectives of the study were to investigate the phenotypic and genotypic characterization of the persistent Salmonella Enteritidis (S. Enteritidis) isolates in two integrated broiler chicken operations, with attention focused mainly on the epidemiological approach. In the distribution of virulence genes, Salmonella enterotoxin (stn), invading host cell (invA), and Salmonella plasmid virulence (spvC) genes were widely distributed among the S. Enteritidis irrespective of their source of isolation, and Salmonella fimbrial (sefC) and plasmid encoded fimbrial (pef) genes were present in 28 and 20 S. Enteritidis strains, respectively. A total of 5 different XbaI-PFGE types were obtained from 31 S. Enteritidis isolates. Twenty-one types were divided on the basis their PFGE pattern, phage type and antimicrobial resistance pattern determined. There was a significant difference in phenotypic and genotypic characterization by two integrated broiler operations. Also, 8 isolates shown susceptible to all antimicrobials and 11 isolates with resistance to nalidixic acid were partly classified by XbaI PFGE pattern and by the phage type.

Intramuscular fat (IMF) is a key indicator of chicken meat quality and emerging studies have indicated that the gut microbiome plays a key role in animal fat deposition. However, the potential metabolic mechanism of gut microbiota affecting chicken IMF is still unclear. Fifty-one broiler chickens were collected to identify key cecal bacteria and serum metabolites related to chicken IMF and to explore possible metabolic mechanisms.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effects of thyme powder (TP), garlic powder (GP), and their combination on broiler chickens, focusing on growth performance, blood health, and carcass quality.
- The experiment involved 264 broiler chicks divided into four groups receiving different dietary treatments, which showed that TP, GP, and their combination significantly improved feed intake, growth rates, and carcass characteristics compared to a control group.
- Notable improvements in immune function and oxidative stress markers were observed, particularly with the combination treatment, suggesting enhanced overall health and the potential of these natural additives as alternatives to antibiotics.

This study evaluated the effects of Moringa oleifera leaf powder extract stabilized with zinc nanoparticles (ZnNPs-MLPE) as a natural growth promoter in broiler diets. Randomly assigned 264 one-day-old Ross 308 chicks to four different feeding treatments, with each group being subdivided into six replicates, each comprising 11 unsexed chicks. The control group was fed a basic diet without additives, while the experimental groups were supplemented with 1.

This study aimed to discover how Echinacea powder extract (EPE), an antioxidant, affects the growth rate, body composition, and blood parameters in broilers as an alternative to antibiotics. In a completely randomized design study, 4 experimental groups received 280 broiler chicks, 5-days-old (Cobb 500). Each group was distributed into 7 replicates, each containing ten unsexed chicks.
