Introduction
Fermented feed has become a hot topic among backyard poultry enthusiasts, sparking lively debates and curiosity in chicken coops everywhere. Touted as a natural way to boost bird health, egg production, and overall flock performance, this age-old practice...
Breeder age significantly influences egg quality traits and subsequent embryonic development (Machado et al., 2020; Nasri et al., 2020; Zita et al., 2022). The composition of eggs at oviposition and oxygen concentration (O2) during incubation are crucial factors affecting...
USPOULTRY and the USPOULTRY Foundation announce the completion of a funded research project by researchers from Iowa State University that worked to develop and evaluate bacterin-based vaccines for the control of spotty liver disease in poultry. The research is...
USPOULTRY and the USPOULTRY Foundation announce the completion of a funded research project by researchers from the University of Georgia that worked to develop a web-based artificial intelligence system to analyze broiler activity index. The research is part of...
Highly pathogenic avian influenza reached Antarctica’s mainland in early 2024, leaving Australia, New Zealand and Pacific Island nations as the only regions on Earth that remain free from the H5N1 strain.
Purdue University researchers now have developed an innovative, paper-based...
Cage-free eggs have become a popular grocery purchase due to growing concerns about animal welfare. In early 2024, they accounted for roughly 40% of eggs sold.
For suppliers looking to help meet the rising demand for cage-free eggs, the solution...
A recent study combining genomic data and machine learning has attributed the majority of U.S. campylobacteriosis cases to poultry, and found that chicken is an increasing source of multidrug-resistant Campylobacter in human infections.
Published in Journal of Infection, the study...
Description of Problem
The term ‘antinutritional factor’ typically refers to secondary metabolites such as phytate, nitrates or tannins, which are produced by a variety of plants as a defense mechanism against attack by insects, pathogens and herbivores (Saad, 2016). These...
A research project funded by the UK’s Food Standards Agency (FSA) assessed the impact of poultry processing on the presence and transfer of antimicrobial resistant (AMR) Campylobacter species (spp.) and Escherichia coli and associated genes on chicken meat.
The researchers...
esearchers from UConn’s College of Agriculture, Health and Natural Resources (CAHNR) and College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS) have demonstrated that a novel protein-based nanoparticle can make mRNA vaccines more effective to tackle a troublesome pathogen in chickens.
