Broilers, Research, Animal welfare, Genetics, Stress, Web of ScienceAbstract
To understand the direction of broiler farming research over the past few decades, this study was conducted using Web of Science as a database. A total of 29,193 documents were published on this platform from 2014 to 2024 on various topics related to broilers. 91.86% of the existing documents were published in the form of scientific articles and the most popular categories of publications are none other than “Agriculture Dairy Animal Science” and “Veterinary Sciences”. In terms of publication reviews, “Poultry Science” and “Animals” have been the most requested for the publication of studies conducted on broilers over the last 10 years. As for the most productive countries in terms of producing scientific documents, China and the United States have largely distinguished themselves from other countries internationally, strengthening their reputation in broiler farming. Given the vastness of the database, a combination of keywords and two filters were used. For the analysis of the data, only the top 50 most referenced and cited studies were considered. The analysis of the documents made it possible to understand that many studies have been carried out on key themes such as genetics, egg incubation, stress on broilers, nutrition, the use of antibiotics, avian diseases and on the behavior of poultry in the rearing environment. However, topics related to sperm quality, climate change, effluent management and greenhouse gas reduction are still underexplored and will certainly be the subject of future research.
