Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in the haemagglutinin and the neuraminidase genes prior to the emergence of highly pathogenic H7N1 avian influenza viruses in Italy.
Jill Banks,E S Speidel,E.H. Moore,L. Plowright,Alessandra Piccirillo,Ilaria Capua,Paolo Cordioli,A. Fioretti,D. J. Alexander +8 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the Italian HPAI viruses arose from low pathogenicity strains, and that a deletion in the NA stalk followed by the acquisition of additional glycosylation near the receptor binding site of HA1 may be an adaptation of H7 viruses to a new host species i.e. domestic poultry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of genotype, gender and feed restriction on growth, meat quality and the occurrence of white striping and wooden breast in broiler chickens
Angela Trocino,Alessandra Piccirillo,Marco Birolo,Giuseppe Radaelli,Daniela Bertotto,Eirini Filiou,Massimiliano Petracci,Gerolamo Xiccato +7 more
TL;DR: Genotype had a moderate effect on growth without modifying myopathy occurrence, and gender and feed restriction affected performance, meat quality, and breast abnormalities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of age on the occurrence of muscle fiber degeneration associated with myopathies in broiler chickens submitted to feed restriction
Giuseppe Radaelli,Alessandra Piccirillo,Marco Birolo,Daniela Bertotto,F. Gratta,Cristina Ballarin,M. Vascellari,Gerolamo Xiccato,Angela Trocino +8 more
TL;DR: In conclusion, MFD soon occurred after 2 wk of growth and increased dramatically within 28 d, and early feed restriction reduced MFD as long as animals were restricted, but no residual effect was recorded after re‐alimentation.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review on the current situation and challenges of colistin resistance in poultry production.
TL;DR: The importance of poultry as a cheap protein source and the global effort to mitigate colistin resistance and preserve this essential antimicrobial require a thorough re-assessment of colistIn use in poultry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial resistance of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli from poultry in Italy.
TL;DR: This study aimed at assessing the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) of Campylobacter isolates from broilers and turkeys reared in industrial farms in Northern Italy, given the public health concern represented by resistant campylobacters in food-producing animals and the paucity of data about this topic.
