Two epidemic waves of an avian influenza A (H7N9) virus have so far affected China. Most human cases have been attributable to poultry exposure at live-poultry markets, where most positive isolates were sampled. The potential geographic extent of potential re-emerging epidemics is unknown, as are...

The trial was started by importing GDR chicken from Humboldt University of Berlin, Germany and indigenous Cameroon fowl by collecting eggs from villages in the Western highland area of Cameroon hatched at the Institute of Animal and Veterinary Research, Mankon (Cameroon). The males of the base po...

There are various methods of measuring milk yield from goats. In the present study 84 lactating Galla goats on a Rhodes grass (Chloris gayana) hay basal diet and supplemented with 500g (as is) of a concentrate diet constituting of poultry litter (0, 15, 30 or 45%) were used to compare milk yield ...
The present article describes rural poultry production systems in Morocco and the role of scavenging chicken in the rural household economy. An extensive survey was conducted aiming to characterize rural poultry farming in order to determine the main constraints to its development and suggest pra...
Native fowl populations in South Africa were characterized genetically and phenotypically. Four South African native populations, two dual-purpose breeds, and two populations from Mozambique and Botswana were included for genetic analysis. For phenotypic characterization, two commercial lines wer...

Stochastic frontier production function was used to assess technical efficiency and its determinants for a stratified sample of 1118 poultry farms in Vietnam for which data were collected in 1999. In general there are significant differences in the production behaviour and efficiency level betwee...
