DOI: 10.1007/s12649-020-01138-7
Abstract: Feather is a good source of nitrogen but the highly rigid structure limits its utilization and leads to environmental pollution and resource wastage. Traditional feather degradation processes such as alkali hydrolysis and steam pressure cooking… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s13131-019-1350-5
Abstract: Bacillus sp. JM7, a strain isolated from the deep-sea of the South China Sea, was found to efficiently degrade 79.4% native chicken feather within 30 h. Scanning electron microscopy analysis showed that JM7 strain could… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsos.220488
Abstract: Oil pollution has profound negative impacts on the marine environment, with seabirds particularly vulnerable to oiling, due to the amount of time spent on the sea surface foraging or resting. Exposure to oil can affect… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pbio.3000132
Abstract: Feathers are arranged in a precise pattern in avian skin. They first arise during development in a row along the dorsal midline, with rows of new feather buds added sequentially in a spreading wave. We… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fvets.2019.00230
Abstract: Repetitive pecking at the feather cover of other birds (FP) is one of the most important welfare problems in domestic birds. It is not only characterized by motor symptoms, but also by an innate vulnerability… read more here.

Anisotropic Composition and Mechanical Behavior of a Natural Thin-Walled Composite: Eagle Feather Shaft
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Polymers"
DOI: 10.3390/polym14020309
Abstract: Flight feather shafts are outstanding bioinspiration templates due to their unique light weight and their stiff and strong characteristics. As a thin wall of a natural composite beam, the keratinous cortex has evolved anisotropic features… read more here.
