Manipulating the immune system of layers and breeders: novel applications of mannan oligosaccharides
Published:March 22, 2007
Summary
Improving the avian immune system will require knowledge of how chickens defend themselves against pathogens naturally. Presumably, once the details of the protection mechanisms are known they might be manipulated in various ways in order to overcome deficiencies. In the interim, some refinements of the traditional approaches may be possible. Poultry workers must make use of advances made by immun...
