In the European Union (EU), targets are being set for the reduction of certain zoonotic Salmonella serovars in different animal populations, including poultry populations, within the framework of Regulation (EC) No. 2160/2003 on the control of zoonoses. For a three-year transitional period, the EU targets were to cover only Salmonella Enteritidis and S. Typhimurium (and in addition S. Hadar, S. Infantis and S. Virchow for breeding flocks of Gallus gallus). Before the end of that transitional period, the revision of the EU targets was to be considered, including the potentially addition of other serovars with public health significance to the permanent EU targets. This review article aims at providing an overview of the assessments carried out by the Scientific Panel on Biological Hazards of the European Food Safety Authority in the field of setting targets for Salmonella in poultry populations (breeding flocks of Gallus gallus, laying flocks of Gallus gallus, broiler flocks of Gallus gallus and flocks of breeding and fattening turkeys) and their impact in subsequent changes in EU legislation.

Veterinary drugs are extensively utilized in poultry farming for purposes such as disease prevention, disease treatment, and feed efficiency enhancement. However, the application of these drugs can lead to unacceptable residues in edible products. This study aimed to investigate the residue profiles of veterinary drugs in silkie chickens.

Article Synopsis
- Stress negatively impacts homeostasis in birds, leading to increased reactive oxygen species, while taurine acts as an antioxidant influencing various cellular processes.
- The study tested different concentrations of taurine hydrocolloid (50, 100, and 500 ppm) injected into chicken egg whites to assess its impact on embryonic development and oxidative stress.
- Results showed that higher taurine concentrations significantly boosted antioxidant levels and increased the content of beneficial peptides like carnosine and anserine in the pectoral muscle, improving overall oxidative stress response.

Rural households all over the world rear backyard chicken mainly for their own consumption and, to a lesser extent, for barter trade. These chickens represent a staple dish with numerous culinary variations and a cheap source of protein. Although some species, and particularly and , have been associated with industrial poultry carcasses, studies concerning the ecology of this genus in rural households do not exist.

The extent of diversity in the indigenous chicken breeds of Uganda was assessed for their potential utilisation in breeding programmes. A total of 293 indigenous-chicken-keeping households in villages across 35 districts forming 12 sub-regions of the four regions were randomly sampled for 586 mature chickens of both sexes. While only 20.
