This study employed an automated estimation method for quantitatively assessing valuable meat parts in broiler chickens. This involved the segmentation of computed tomography (CT) images through elastic registration, utilising feature and model selection.2. Sixty Tetra HB colour broiler chickens (30 males and 30 females) were randomly selected and examined by CT at 10 weeks of age (live weight: 2560 ± 400 g). The animals were slaughtered, and their breast and thigh muscles were dissected and weighed (thigh and breast weights were 90 ± 19 g and 337 ± 58 g). Multi-atlas registration was used for segmentation, followed by feature extraction (256 features/individual) from the CT images.3. Four different regression analysis techniques (linear, PLS, lasso and ridge) with and without feature selection were applied to the collected data with k-fold cross-validation for estimating the thigh and breast muscle weights. The feature selection produced significantly better results in all cases.4. Among the analysis techniques, lasso and ridge regression performed the best for both muscle groups (thigh and breast muscles). These were as follows: lasso for breast: r<sup>2</sup> = 0.993, RMSE = 4.87 g; ridge for breast: r<sup>2</sup> = 0.995, RMSE = 4.03 g; lasso for thigh: r<sup>2</sup> = 0.976, RMSE = 2.94 g; and ridge for thigh: r<sup>2</sup> = 0.965, RMSE = 3.53 g.5.

Chicken ghrelin (GH) plays an important role in regulating growth hormone secretion, immunity and gastrointestinal motility.

Eighty, 17-d-old layer type chicks were randomly divided into two groups: control (C treated with sterile phosphate buffer) and the ghrelin-treated group (GH; intraperitoneally injected with 0.5 nM GH per 100 g body weight). At 1, 3 and 5 d post-injection, six chicks from each group were randomly selected for sampling of the duodenum and ileum.3.

In addition, GH affected villus height and ratio of villus height to crypt (H/C) depth in these sections and fatty acid binding protein 6 expression in the ileum. The relative mRNA levels of oligopeptide transporter 1, solute carrier family 3 member 1, solute carrier family 1 member 1 and solute carrier family 5 member 1 were decreased by GH.4.

In the early stages of incubation, challenges arise in the intelligent recognition of multiple eggs on the incubation tray and in achieving consistent high-throughput detection. To address these issues, a method was proposed using a monochrome camera to capture transillumination images of eggs. This work examined factors affecting image consistency, such as light source intensity, imaging uniformity and egg positioning and developed a correction algorithm for non-uniform light intensity in the captured images.2. On day 0 of incubation, images of the egg tray and fertilised eggs were acquired. After applying median filtering, Laplacian sharpening and fixed-threshold segmentation, the egg regions from the images were extracted. These regions were then converted into labelled images for circular fitting, with the fitted circles contracted inward by 10 pixels to define the target egg region as the template for viability detection.3. Using these template images, egg regions from days 5 to 9 of incubation were extracted and four greyscale features derived; mean, maximum, minimum and standard deviation, and four texture features; energy, correlation, homogeneity and contrast were used as input parameters for classification models using Logistic Regression (LR), Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM) and a custom Convolutional Neural Network (CNN).4.

The main objective of this study was to investigate black soldier fly (BSF) pre-pupae (BSFP) meal compared to soybean meal by evaluating its nutritional composition, apparent metabolisable energy (AME), apparent ileal amino acid digestibility (AID), and standardised amino acid digestibility (SID).2. Two experiments were conducted to determine the AME and AID of the BSFP for broiler chickens. Experiment 1 was an AME assay wherein broilers were fed two experimental diets (maize-soybean meal basal diet and a test diet containing 250 g/kg BSFP meal) for 7 d from d 23 post-hatch. The AME of BSFP meal was calculated based on the difference between the AME values of basal and test diets. The AME and nitrogen-corrected AME were 18.2 and 16.7 MJ/kg of dry matter, respectively. In experiment 2, the ileal amino acid (AA) digestibility of BSFP meal was determined using 30-d-old broilers by the direct method, and the ileal digesta was collected on d 34.3. The standardised ileal digestibility coefficients of Lys, Met, Thr, Val, Try, Arg and average of all AA were determined to be 0.83, 0.89, 0.82, 0.82, 0.85, 0.87 and 0.82, respectively. The findings demonstrated that the BSFP meal is a good source of energy and digestible AA and is potentially a substitute for soybean meal in broiler diets.</p>","PeriodicalId":9322,"journal":{"name":"British Poultry Science","volume":" ","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143572133","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
