What does the world smell like? After so long in a mask, I can barely remember | Arwa Mahdawi
The pandemic has robbed us of scent as well as touch. I ’m up for anything that gives my nose a workout, no matter how stinkyIs it possible to manufacture a functional knife out of frozen human faeces? Thanks toa study conducted by some enterprising scientists last year, we know that the answer to that niche question is “no”. Thanks to more seemingly pointless studies, we also know that chickens are superficial andprefer attractive people. And that you may have a better chance of passing a kidney stone if you sit at theback of a rollercoaster. And that it is possible toidentify a narcissist by their (bushy) eyebrows....

Chronic stress causes genetic changes in chickens
(Uppsala University) How can stress in animals be measured? Scientists from Uppsala University and elsewhere have now found that what are known as epigenetic biomarkers could be used to detect long-term exposure to stress in commercially raised chickens. This may, in time, lead to improved conditions in animal rearing. The study has been published in the journal Frontiers in Genetics.

Boosting chickens' own immune response could curb disease
(University of Illinois College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences) Broiler chicken producers the world over are all too familiar with coccidiosis, a parasite-borne intestinal disease that stalls growth and winnows flocks. Various approaches, developed over decades, have been used to control coccidiosis, but the disease remains widespread. Recent research from the University of Illinois supports the use of immunomodulatory and antioxidant feed additives to reduce the effects of coccidiosis.

Broad beans versus soybeans as feedstuff for dual-purpose chickens
(University of G ö ttingen) Practices of the poultry industry have raised ethical and ecological concerns: ethical concerns include culling day-old male chicks of egg-laying breeds; ecological concerns include importing large quantities of soybeans for feedstuff. Researchers at G ö ttingen University looked at using a regional crop - like broad beans - and dual-purpose chicken breeds (suitable for both meat and egg-laying). They found that these were both suitable alternatives, which did not impact the quality of chicken meat. Results were published in Foods.

Epigenetics linked to genetic differences between domesticated and wild chickens
(Link ö ping University) Some of the genetic differences that have arisen between domesticated chickens and their wild ancestors, the red junglefowl, are linked to epigenetic changes, according to a new study published in Nature Ecology& Evolution. Scientists at Link ö ping University, Sweden, have discovered a small number of " hotspots " in the DNA that control epigenetic changes at hundreds of other locations throughout the genome.
