Article Abstract

The present study aimed to examine the impact of lactic acid bacteria- fermented feed (FF) on the taste and quality of duck meat, in addition to elucidating the potential metabolomic mechanism at play. The findings revealed that ducks fed with FF exhibited elevated pH levels and reduced cooking loss in their meat when compared to the control group. In addition, the sensory evaluation and e-tongue analysis revealed that the tenderness, juiciness, umami, richness, saltiness, and sweetness of duck meat were all enhanced by feeding FF. Moreover, an examination of the metabolome using H nuclear magnetic resonance (H NMR) identified the principal differential metabolites that exhibited a correlation with taste, which included 2-aminoadipate, glucose, glycine, N-acetylcysteine, niacinamide, proline, and threonine. Furthermore, the differential metabolites that exhibited the greatest enrichment in duck meat could be primarily traced to glutathione metabolism, glycine, serine and threonine metabolism, taurine and hypotaurine metabolism. The potential factors contributing to the effect of FF and basic commercial duck feed (CF) were found to be primarily regulated via the aforementioned metabolic pathways. The study, therefore, offers a viable approach for enhancing the taste and quality of duck meat.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of dietary inclusion of different carrot forms on production results, carcass traits, meat quality, fatty acid (FA) composition, vitamin content, and feed costs in Cherry Valley broiler ducks. A total of 240 one-day-old males (initial body weight of 55.2 g) were allocated to 4 treatments (n = 60; 6 replicates of 10 birds): control (CD; 100 % commercial diet), CFL (CD + 2 % carrot flakes), RAWC (80 % CD + 20 % raw carrot), and CPOW (CD + 2 % carrot powder).

Understanding the transmission routes of high-pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) is crucial for developing effective control measures to prevent its spread. In this context, windborne transmission, the idea that the virus could travel through the air over considerable distances, is a contentious concept, and documented cases have been rare. Here, though, we provide genetic evidence supporting the feasibility of windborne transmission.

The continuous spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5 viruses poses significant challenges, particularly in regions with high poultry farm densities where conventional control measures are less effective. Using phylogeographic and phylodynamic tools, we analysed virus spread in southwestern France in 2020 and 2021, a region with recurrent outbreaks. Following a single introduction, the virus spread regionally, mostly affecting duck farms, with an average velocity of 10.

Biosecurity measures applied on poultry farms, with a recent history of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus infection, were monitored using 24 h/7 days-per-week video monitoring. Definition of biosecurity breaches were based on internationally acknowledged norms. Farms of four different production types (two broiler, two layer, two breeder broiler, and one duck farm) were selected.

Pueraria containing starch, dietary fiber, and polyphenols, has the potential to be a functional ingredient, but its starch requires modification to overcome limitations and enhance its quality. To address this, we applied pre-gelatinization treatment to whole Pueraria powder (WP) to enhance its functionality. The impact of WP and pre-gelatinized Pueraria powder (PWP) on the texture, rheology, and microstructure of duck sausage was investigated.
