Consumer valuation of traceability labels: a cross-cultural study in Germany and Greece
(2017)Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to assess impact of literacy on the combinations of traceability information on food packages of chilled chicken nuggets and fish fingers consumers choose. Design/methodology/approach: ... -
Corn silage supplemented with pomegranate (Punica granatum) and avocado (persea americana) pulp and seed wastes for improvement of meat characteristics in poultry production
(2021)In the present study, pomegranate peels, avocado peels, and seed vacuum microwave extraction solid by-products were supplemented in corn silage in order to investigate the effects on meat quality and growth rate in broiler ... -
Detection and molecular characterization of a new genotype of infectious bursal disease virus in Portugal
(2022)Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) is an immunosuppressive pathogen with a bi-segmented, double-stranded RNA genome. Two serotypes, named 1 and 2, are recognized, and serotype 1 is traditionally divided into classical, ... -
Effects of protease addition and replacement of soybean meal by corn gluten meal on the growth of broilers and on the environmental performances of a broiler production system in Greece
(2017)An experimental study was conducted to examine the combined effects of adding a dietary protease, reducing the levels of soybean meal (SBM) and introducing corn gluten meal (CGM) in the ration of a group of broilers reared ... -
Efficacy of live attenuated, vector and immune complex infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) vaccines in preventing field strain bursa colonization: A European multicentric study
(2022)Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) is among the most relevant and widespread immunosuppressive agents, which can severely damage poultry farming by causing direct losses, predisposing the host to secondary diseases and ... -
Enhancement of Antioxidant Mechanisms and Reduction of Oxidative Stress in Chickens after the Administration of Drinking Water Enriched with Polyphenolic Powder from Olive Mill Waste Waters
(2017)The aim of the study was to examine the effects of a polyphenolic powder from olive mill wastewater (OMWW) administered through drinking water, on chickens' redox status. Thus, 75 chickens were divided into three groups. ... -
Evaluation of 793/B-like and Mass-like vaccine strain kinetics in experimental and field conditions by real-Time RT-PCR quantification
(2018)Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is a great economic burden both for productive losses and costs of the control strategies. Many different vaccination protocols are applied in the same region and even in consecutive cycles ... -
First Identification and Molecular Characterization of Avian metapneumovirus Subtype B from Chickens in Greece
(2017)Avian metapneumovirus (aMPV) is considered a major pathogen for turkeys but its impact on chicken production is still partially neglected, even though it is fully acknowledged as a primary pathogen in chickens as well. The ... -
'Freedom from hunger' and preventing obesity: the animal welfare implications of reducing food quantity or quality
(2009)In animals, including humans, free access to high-quality (generally energy-dense) food can result in obesity, leading to physiological and health problems. Consequently, various captive animals, including laboratory and ... -
Impact of rotten eggs on hatchery performances: A multicentric study
(2020)Day-old chick quality is an essential element for the overall profitability of the broiler productive cycle and has been associated with the growth performance and feed conversion rate. An effect on the development of the ... -
Infectious bronchitis virus gel vaccination: evaluation of Mass-like (B-48) and 793/B-like (1/96) vaccine kinetics after combined administration at 1 day of age
(2018)Infectious bronchitis (IB) control has a strong impact on poultry farming, because of the necessary epidemiological knowledge for planning the best strategy, the optimal strain association, the priming and boosting ... -
Molecular epidemiology of fowl adenoviruses in Greece
(2020)Outbreaks of inclusion body hepatitis (IBH) and adenoviral gizzard erosion have been anecdotally reported in Greece since approximately 2011. However, a relevant increase in clinical outbreaks compatible with IBH has been ... -
Molecular epidemiology of infectious bronchitis virus and avian metapneumovirus in Greece
(2019)Respiratory diseases like infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) and avian metapneumovirus (aMPV) have been held accountable for major losses for poultry production. Nevertheless, scarce information was present dealing with the ... -
No good vaccination quality without good control: the positive impact of a hatchery vaccination service program
(2020)Vaccination is currently one of the most relevant control strategies in poultry production to reduce infectious disease–induced economic losses and decrease antimicrobial use. Besides intrinsic vaccine efficacy, a proper ... -
Novel feed including bioactive compounds from winery wastes improved broilers' redox status in blood and tissues of vital organs
(2017)Currently, there is a great interest in the production of animal feed with antioxidant activity. The aim of this study was to examine the potential antioxidant effects of a feed supplemented with grape pomace (GP), a winery ... -
Poultry and wild birds as a reservoir of CMY-2 producing Escherichia coli: The first large-scale study in Greece
(2021)Resistance mediated by β-lactamases is a globally spread menace. The aim of the present study was to determine the occurrence of Escherichia coli producing plasmid-encoded AmpC β-lactamases (pAmpC) in animals. Fecal samples ... -
Prevalence of and Risk Factors for Campylobacter spp. Colonization of Broiler Chicken Flocks in Greece
(2020)The prevalence and risk factors for Campylobacter spp. colonization of broiler flocks and broiler carcass contamination in Greek slaughterhouses were investigated. Over a 14-month period, a pool of 10 ceca and 5 neck skin ... -
Seasonality and the effects of weather on Campylobacter infections
(2019)Background: Campylobacteriosis is a major public health concern. The weather factors that influence spatial and seasonal distributions are not fully understood. Methods: To investigate the impacts of temperature and rainfall ... -
Short-term feeding behaviour has a similar structure in broilers, turkeys and ducks
(2010)1. This study is the first to quantitatively compare the structure of feeding behaviour of broilers, ducks and turkeys as recorded by electronic feeders. It tests the hypothesis that this structure is so similar that the ... -
