In order to gain a better etiological and epidemiological knowledge of the parasitic diseases of local breed chickens reared in extensive (traditional) mode, a study was carried out in the Oran region during the periods from February 2020 to April 2020. Ten chickens were examined by the helminthologic autopsy method to identify parasitic helminths in the digestive tract. Four species of helminths have been identified: two species of nematodes: and and two species of cestodes: and . Six chickens were carriers of the parasites, for an overall level of infestation of 60 % with an average infestation of 7 parasites per chicken. The rate of parasitism and infestation varied from species to species, being the most dominant species. The estimate of the infestation rate by each group shows a predominance of nematodes with 62 parasites (88.5 %) compared to cestodes (8 parasites) with a significantly higher difference (P <0.05). The results obtained show that chickens of the local breed in the Oran region are heavily infested by parasites including , the predominant species.

Lipid metabolism is critical for male reproduction in plants. Many lipid-metabolic genic male-sterility (GMS) genes function in the anther tapetal endoplasmic reticulum, while little is known about GMS genes involved in de novo fatty acid biosynthesis in the anther tapetal plastid. In this study, we identify a maize male-sterile mutant, enr1, with early tapetal degradation, defective anther cuticle, and pollen exine.

Nitrate not only serves as the primary nitrogen source for terrestrial plants but also serves as a critical signal in regulating plant growth and development. Understanding how plant responses to nitrate availability is essential for improving nitrogen use efficiency in crops. Herein, we demonstrated that the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor TabHLH489 plays a crucial negative regulatory role in wheat nitrate signaling.

Background: Corneal squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is a rare neoplasm of dogs that can be treated with various modalities, principally by superficial keratectomy (SK) surgery. It is common to treat cSCC with multiple adjunctive therapies, but this may not always be practical for clinicians, clients, or patients.
Aim: This retrospective study describes the signalment of affected dogs, concurrent medical therapy, and success rate of surgical treatment of cSCC with SK surgery alone or in combination with adjunct therapy.
To investigate the genetic factors underlying marketed body size traits in Chinese local geese, we conducted a comprehensive study involving nine body size traits in 251 samples at 10 weeks of age from five local breeds: Taihu goose (TH), Sichuan goose (SC), Guangfeng goose (GF), Xupu goose (XP), and Youjiang goose (YJ). Genotyping data were obtained through whole-genome re-sequencing, followed by a genome-wide association analysis utilizing the fixed and random model circulating probability unification (FarmCPU) approach. Our findings revealed 88 significant SNPs associated with body size traits, with 16 SNPs surpassing the genome-wide significance threshold ( = 3.

Poultry scientists are constantly studying different breeds of cockerels that would be suitable for capon meat production. Capon meat, although not yet very popular, is characterized by exceptional taste qualities that could appeal to many customers. Obtaining the appropriate palatability, structure and tenderness of capon meat is possible thanks to the reduction in androgen levels following the castration of roosters.
