1. Introduction The global population is projected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, driving a significant increase in food and feed demand and the urgent need for alternative protein sources [1]. Currently, soybean meal is a crucial protein source in poultry and livestock diets due to its high-quality protein composition. However, sustainability concerns, including deforestation, monocropping, and biodiversity loss, as well as the environmental impacts of conventional crop systems such...

1. Introduction Poultry constitutes the second most widely produced and eaten type of meat in Europe, its consumption being especially notable in some countries, such as England, Ireland, Portugal, Spain and France [1]. It is expected that in 2024, there will be a marked increase in the production and consumption of fresh poultry meat worldwide, representing 3.5% more than in 2023 and 4.4% more than in 2022 [2]. In recent years, great efforts have been made to reduce the...

@dan hofer, we have not only heard about fat emulsifiers, but we are also actively working with them as another tool to optimize feed efficiency and production costs. Within our portfolio, we have Digest Fast, an innovative nutraceutical that improves the entire fat metabolism process, not focusing just on the fat emulsification For detailed information, you can contact our team at info@liptosa.com ...

The ancestor of the modern-day chicken, the red jungle fowl, was exposed to different spectra of light in their natural habitat (Prescott et al., 2003). The surrounding environment, vegetation, season, and time of day all affect the color of light exposure to the wild bird (Endler, 1993), which may have lingering behavioral...

1. Introduction Salmonellosis is among the major causes of foodborne gastrointestinal infection in humans worldwide [1] and the second cause following campylobacteriosis in the European Union (EU) [2]. Particularly, non-typhoidal Salmonella spp. (NTS) are one of the bacterial pathogens with the highest disease burden among human foodborne enteric diseases [3]. Poultry products are considered as a major source of human infection in cases of foodborne salmonellosis caused by NTS [4]....

@Antônio Mário Penz Junior. Hi ANTONIO, good to hear from you. Environment and water are external complications of heat stress. May I add an internal factor that is additive? If fat must be metabolically synthesized to support fully finishing the growing bird or be necessary for maximal yolk synthesis with layers, its generation must arise from concurrently consumed carbohydrates/ protein. Such metabolic synthesis generates approximately 10% of their kcal as byproduct heat....

Each summer, soaring temperatures present a significant challenge for the poultry industry worldwide. Poultry are particularly vulnerable to heat stress due to their limited ability to regulate body temperature, making them highly susceptible to environmental heat. While the immediate...

Mr. Entz, we need to consider hot weather and/or hot water. If we have hot weather and cold water, we need to preserve the water temperature based on putting the pipe line deep in the floor to maintain it cool from the origin. In this case, flushing the water helps.
However, if the water comes hot from the origin, flushing does not work. Still, new negative pressure chicken houses projects are not considering to add a cooling water system. It will come in the future! It represents...

1. Introduction Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), a toxic metabolite produced by Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus, is one of the most potent naturally occurring carcinogens [1]. It poses significant risks to animal health and productivity, particularly in poultry, where the contamination of feed is a prevalent issue [2]. Broiler chickens are highly susceptible to the adverse effects of AFB1 due to their rapid growth rates and high feed intake [3]. Recent studies have...

Regarding the use of sodium bicarbonate, it works, but the temperature of the water must be around 25 to 28ºC. Higher temperatures are detected by lingual thermosensors that restrict the water consumption, and the bicarbonate effect can be reduced. ...

In cases of high temperatures, I use sodium bicarbonate in drinking water at a rate of 1 kg per 1,000 liters of water with good results. Bicarbonate allows us to compensate for pH, increasing it and restoring the acid-base balance in the blood.
On the other hand, heat stress also causes sweating and loss of fluids and electrolytes, especially sodium, which is provided by bicarbonate. The use of bicarbonate also reduces panting, which can be verified by reducing mortality due to...
