INTRODUCTION Seventy-seven percent of globally produced soy is utilized in animal nutrition, with poultry consuming 64 to 67% of USA-produced soybean meal (United Soybean Board, 2020). Traditionally, the oil is extracted from the seed, resulting in solvent-extracted soybean meal (SE-SBM),...
Recently, a group of scientists announced a breakthrough approach to combat Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (bird flu or avian flu), a severe illness of birds that has killed millions of chickens worldwide since it emerged in 1996 and continues...
Innovations in technology are revolutionizing the poultry industry, offering proactive solutions for optimizing bird health and performance. Among these advancements, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are proving to be invaluable tools in analyzing poultry blood biomarkers to detect...
When broiler chickens are busy fighting the parasitic infection coccidiosis, they can’t absorb nutrients efficiently or put energy toward growth. With consumer sentiment pitted against antimicrobials and other drugs, producers still have some options to ensure optimal growth during...
Poultry scientists are investigating new ways to keep birds healthy and shift the poultry industry away from widespread use of antibiotics. Researchers are especially keen to improve antimicrobial strategies for organically raised chickens, which are not given antibiotics. According to...
In the realm of poultry pathogen control, essential oils and minerals present promising alternatives to antibiotics. Amid concerns over antibiotic resistance and consumer preferences, these natural compounds offer targeted protection against Salmonella, Clostridium perfringens, E. coli, and other harmful...
ABSTRACT The industry of egg-type chicken has shown a trend of extending the rearing period, with the goal of breeding chicken breeds capable of producing 500 qualified eggs by 700 d of age. However, the rapid decline in eggshell quality...
SUMMARY Feeding breeder hens diets enriched with omega-3 fatty acids (n-3 FA) has previously been shown to increase their progeny's immunocompetence. During an experiment to assess the effects of maternal-fed n-3 FA on broiler behavior, broiler chickens experienced an unexpected...
The global landscape of rendered poultry products, integral to the feed industry and agricultural economy, demonstrates notable growth as observed in a newly published research report. This comprehensive market analysis provides a meticulous understanding of market dynamics, industry trends,...
Abstract Theoretical models have successfully predicted the evolution of poultry pathogen virulence in industrialized farm contexts of broiler chicken populations. Whether there are ecological factors specific to more traditional rural farming that affect virulence is an open question. Within non-industrialized...
