Article Abstract
Although it is assumed that chicken embryos acquire the capacity for nociception while developing in the egg, an exact time point has not yet been specified. The present research was an exploratory study aiming to determine when the capacity of nociception emerges during embryonic development in chickens. Changes in blood pressure and heart rate (HR) in response to a noxious mechanical stimulus at the base of the beak versus a light touch on the beak were examined in chicken embryos between embryonic days (EDs) 7 and 18. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) was the most sensitive parameter for assessing cardiovascular responses. Significant changes in MAP in response to a noxious stimulus were detected in embryos at ED16 to ED18, whereas significant changes in HR were observed at ED17 and ED18. Infiltration anesthesia with the local anesthetic lidocaine significantly reduced the response of MAP on ED18, so the measured cardiovascular changes may be interpreted as nociceptive responses.

Hen eggs are rich in proteins, which are a potential source of bioactive peptides. Incubation of fertilized egg changes the egg protein, which may affect the properties and activity of derived peptides. To understand these metamorphoses, hydrolysate fractions of 10-day incubated chicken embryo (CE) proteins of 0.

In this study, we identified a new chicken-specific protein, named chicken interferon-related antiviral protein (chIRAP) after sequence analysis and comparison, which inhibited the proliferation of various viruses including influenza A virus (IAV) and Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV) in vitro, and chicken embryos with high expression of chIRAP reduced IAV infection. Mass spectrometry analysis of chIRAP interacting proteins and screening of interacting proteins affecting the function of chIRAP revealed that the deletion of endogenous chicken peroxiredoxin 1 (chPRDX1) significantly reduced the antiviral effect of chIRAP. In order to clarify the functional site of chPRDX1 affecting the antiviral effect of chIRAP, we constructed the point mutants of chPRDX1 based on the results of molecular docking (D79A, T90A, K93A, Q94A, R110A, R123A), and screened the sites affecting the antiviral effects of chIRAP by knockdown of endogenous chPRDX1 combined with the overexpression mutant strategy, the results showed that the mutations in the sites affected the antiviral effects of chIRAP to different degrees, with D79A being the most significant, and the D79A mutation of chPRDX1 reduces the ability of chPRDX1 to regulate reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Egg yolk immunoglobulin (IgY) has emerged as a promising alternative to monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) due to its facile extraction, higher yield, and greater tolerance to organic solvents. This work developed a selective IgY antibody against bongkrekic acid (BA) and isobongkrekic acid (IsoBA), the lethal toxins produced by Burkholderia gladioli pv. Cocovenenans (BGC), which led to severe food poisoning incidents and resulted in casualties.

Avian reovirus (ARV) has emerged as a highly prevalent pathogen in Chinese poultry, characterized by its high mutation rate, environmental resilience, and dual vertical-horizontal transmission routes, leading to rising chick morbidity and substantial economic losses. To evaluate vertical transmission, 945 dead embryos and 58 weak chicks from a Guangdong hatchery between January 2023 and December 2024 were tested, yielding a 9.6 % (96/1003) ARV positivity rate.

Avian species possess a distinct reproductive system that differs fundamentally from mammals, resulting in relatively slower progress in transgenic poultry research compared to mammalian models. Primordial germ cells (PGCs), as the precursors to functional gametes, provide a promising avenue for the utilization of genetic resources and the application of transgenesis in chickens. However, the transfection of chicken PGCs remains challenging due to the low efficiency of conventional methods.
