Article Synopsis
- The study compares egg production in two turkey lines: the high egg-producing Ohio State University E line and a lower producing random-bred control (RBC1) line, highlighting the importance of understanding these differences for improving flock profitability.
- E line hens outperformed RBC1 hens by producing 20% more eggs, with their egg production advantage linked to longer clutch lengths rather than an increase in the number of preovulatory follicles.
- Gene expression analysis showed that E line hens had alterations in the expression of key reproductive genes, suggesting that differences in hormone synthesis may allow their follicles to develop more efficiently, ultimately enhancing egg production without increasing follicle numbers.
Review on Desirable Microbial Phytases as a Poultry Feed Additive: Their Sources, Production, Enzymatic Evaluation, Market Size, and Regulation.

Poultry's digestive tract lacks hydrolytic phytase enzymes, which results in chelation of dietary minerals, vital amino acids, proteins, and carbohydrates, phytate-phosphate unavailability, and contamination of the environment due to phosphorus. Therefore, it is necessary to use exogenous microbial phytases as feed additive to chicken feed to catalyze the hydrolysis of dietary phytate. Potential sources of microbial isolates that produce desired phytases for chicken feed supplementation have been isolated from agricultural croplands.

The emergence of insecticide resistance in arbovirus vectors is putting the focus on the development of new strategies for control. In this regard, the exploitation of endosymbionts is receiving increasing attention due to its demonstrated effectiveness in reducing the vectorial capacity of mosquitoes. Here, we describe the establishment of a naïve infection in a wild population of eastern Spain through a hybridization approach to obtain males capable of sterilizing wild females.

Introduction: Stunting and wasting are prevalent in low- and middle-income countries, putting children at risk for disease and disability. Eggs are a nutrient-rich food that can potentially facilitate growth.
Purpose: The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the potential beneficial effect of egg supplementation on growth in children.
Approach to surveying egg masses of the invasive spotted lanternfly (Hemiptera: Fulgoridae).

For the invasive planthopper Lycorma delicatula, eggs are an attractive target for surveys and management because they can persist from September through May before hatching, and remnants may be retained for years after hatching. Efforts to control this invasive species, though, are hampered by imperfect detection, which impedes early detection and rapid response, obscures management impacts, and reduces the fraction of egg masses that can be managed. To estimate egg mass detectability, we conducted 75 duplicate surveys of 20 × 5 m plots located in forest edges and disturbed areas frequently used by L.
