Projected to burgeon to a staggering $429.11 billion by 2028 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 5.45% from 2022 , the global chicken market’s escalated growth has imposed an acute burden on the broiler industry. This...
A new study finds that two subtypes of pathogenic Escherichia coli (E. coli) produce five to 16 times more protective capsular "slime" when Enterococcus faecalis (EF) is present. The finding could lead to targeted therapies for E. coli infections...
Disease prevention plays a fundamental role in addressing challenges in the poultry industry, specifically those related to food safety. Disease outbreaks and foodborne illnesses often result in significant economic losses. Salmonella colonization in poultry pose an increased risk of...
Researchers in Canada are exploring innovative solutions to address significant challenges due to bacterial infections, focusing on the use of antimicrobial plants to control bacteria in poultry.
The problem with antibiotics
Traditionally, antibiotics have been used extensively in poultry farming to...
The poultry market is expected to increase by 17.8 % by 2030, with poultry meat consisting of 41 % of the global meat market (FAO, 2023). The demand for poultry is driven by its affordability and nutritional content (FAO,...
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...
Dr. Sophie Kernéis-Golsteyn is the principal investigator for research examining the effectiveness of natural phytobiotics, plant-based alternatives to antibiotics, to protect chickens against Avian Pathogenic E. coli (APEC) bacteria. The 2.5-year, $80,000 project, which will be carried out in...
Georgia’s College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences are using molecular genetics to determine how pastured and free-range chickens influence the ecosystem on farms where crops and livestock are raised together.
Supported by a $749,000 grant from the U.S. Department of...
