A Chicken in Every Lot: The 2007 Chicken Ordinance in Missoula, Montana
… Montana passed an ordinance allowing six chickens per urban lot. Missoula followed the lead of many other cities seeking to expand urban agriculture and food security opportunities through microlivestock. This paper gives context to the implementation of a specific ordinance, investigates …

Acoustical analyses of chicken vocalizations
Vocalizations of the domestic chicken were recorded and analyzed by quantitative and qualitative methods in two experiments. In Experiment 1, recordings were made from males and females from two lines of White Leghorn chickens housed in individual battery cages. Five call types: crow, disturbance …

Sequence of the chicken sex chromosomes
… progenitors. The Z and W sex chromosomes of the chicken provide a unique opportunity to study the evolution of sex chromosomes in a second lineage with an alternate system of heterogamety. We produced the finished sequence of the chicken Z chromosome and generated female-specific markers …

Functional characterization of human and chicken TLR3
… about its activity in avian species such as chickens, which are highly susceptible to RNA viruses like avian influenza. Chickens rely heavily on innate immune responses due to their limited adaptive immunity, making TLR3 an important mediator of early antiviral defense. Notably, naturally …

Calcium-dependent mechanisms in the chicken retina
… Ca2+-dependent mechanism in the retina. In the chicken retina, I demonstrate the cell-autonomous nature of the NO signal by comparing the pattern of NO production to the expression of NOS. The NO indicator fluorescence dye, DAF was used to detect the pattern of NO production. A NOS inhibitor …

Mathematical Modeling for Hatchability of Chicken Eggs
Assessment of the probability for failure to hatch, due to either infertility or embryonic mortality during incubation, is important to evaluate reproductive efficiency in poultry. The main objective of this thesis, therefore, was to develop or improve mathematical models that describe …

Assessing broiler chicken welfare at the slaughterhouse
The commercial broiler chicken industry in the United States produces billions of pounds of chicken meat each year. With an increasing number of broilers slaughtered for consumption, more broilers are at risk of welfare issues occurring during the preslaughter and slaughter process. Animal-based, …

Diet-induced thermogenesis in the domestic chicken
Four experiments were conducted to examine the energetic responses of chicks from lines divergently selected for 56-day body weight to caloric intake. Caloric overconsumption or calorie-protein imbalances were induced by providing glucose solutions (16% w/v) in lieu of water in the first …

Optimizing Conditions for Cloning cDNA from Chicken Brain
… and cloning were attempted first with the chicken brain. The initial attempts at making cDNA libraries were elusive; therefore, experiments were performed to identify problems and enhance the efficiency of specific steps. These steps included RNA isolation, competent cell preparation, and …

Disruption of UHRF1 expression in chicken DT40 cells
Epigenetics regulate the gene expression while imposing no change in the underlying gene sequence constitution. The abnormal regulation of epigenetics is associated with the development and progression of cancer. Among the epigenetic regulators, UHRF1 (ubiquitin-like with PHD and ring finger domain …
