Machine learning classification of dilated cardiomyopathy severity in commercial broiler chickens

Ümit Bilginer, Arthur Fernandes, Brenda Flack, Nicholas Anthony et autres

Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a significant cardiovascular disorder in commercial broiler chickens associated with congestive heart failure, ascites, and sudden death, leading to substantial economic losses in poultry production. Objective and accurate identification of DCM severity remains challenging due to reliance on …

VentVision: A multimodal vision-based system for automated vent-based chick sexing

Marta Veganzones Rodriguez, Thinh Phan, ArthurF.A. Fernandes, Vivian Breen et autres

Chick sexing has been a crucial practice for many years due to the need for early gender identification in poultry production. Traditional methods, such as vent sexing, are highly effective but labor-intensive, requiring expert knowledge and years of training, making it a …

MiGa: Multi-chicken gait assessment

Minh Quan Tran, Annie Prasanna Manoharan, Chiyou Vang, Arthur F.A. Fernandes et autres

Broiler chicken production is a major agricultural industry, yet it faces persistent challenges related to animal welfare–most notably, lameness caused by selective breeding for rapid growth. Traditional gait assessment methods, such as Kestin’s scoring system, obstacle tests, and latency-to-lie, have been valuable …

Rapid evolution predicts demographic recovery after extreme drought

Daniel N. Anstett, Julia Anstett, Seema N. Sheth, Dylan R. Moxley et autres

Populations that are declining as a result of climate change may need to evolve to persist. Although evolutionary rescue has been demonstrated in theory and in the laboratory, its relevance to natural populations facing climate change remains unknown. Here we link rapid …

Research note: top-view walking features as proxy for walking ability in broilers and their potential use in breeding

Malou van der Sluis, Marjaneh Taghavi, István Fodor, Elianne Grietje Theodora van der Valk et autres

Impaired walking ability is a welfare concern that affects many broilers. Walking ability can potentially be improved through genetic selection, but this requires objective data on large numbers of broilers in the breeding program. Here, it was studied whether top-view video recordings …

Commercial breeding for disease resistance in poultry: The breeder’s perspective

Jesus Arango, Janet Elizabeth Fulton

Improving disease resistance in commercial poultry is increasingly important as environmental, pathogen host interactions, and other factors have increased the frequency of global outbreaks for a diverse set of diseases. Reduced antibiotic use and rising demand for antibiotic-free products reshape production. Global …

Identification of key host genes for influenza A virus in avian cells using a genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screen

Rosemary A. Blake, Abraham Phillip Lee, Nick Parkinson, Vayalena Drampa et autres

Abstract Influenza A virus (IAV) causes major economic losses to the poultry industry and poses a zoonotic threat to human health. Potential pandemic outbreaks are underpinned by the ability of the virus to jump from one species to another. Host-virus interactions can …
