A house tightness test is conducted on a 40' X 500' broiler house using a 54" tunnel fan that moves 25,900 cfm @ 0.10". With everything closed, the 54" fan generates a static pressure of 0.20", which would be considered a relatively tight house by most. Using the Poultry411 Poultry House Leakage Area Calculator, it was determined that the house had a total of approximately 12 ft 2 of cracks in the end and side walls, tunnel doors, and fan shutters. The producer...

Dr. Abhijit Mishra, a poultry nutrition consultant with 23 years of experience, outlines the key challenges in India’s fast-growing broiler, breeder and layer sectors—disease pressure, raw-material quality and management. He notes that modern tools like sensors, NIR and advanced software remain underused. With rising protein demand and eggs as the most affordable source, he believes India will comfortably exceed future per-capita egg targets. ...

Indeed, very good work and a very comprehensive study, documenting the effects and potential of AGA. Otherwise, one may wonder if an energy correction of 75.0 kcal/kg ME is not too ambitious? From the performance table on LBW and FCR, we see that the AGA group is bridging only about half of the gap between the negative and positive control. FCR are 1.62b; 1.68a and 1.65ab, respectively. Maybe an energy matrix value of 30-35 kcal might be more prudent? ...

Introducing Afla-V ONE: Safe, Sustainable Aflatoxin Detection for Complete Feeds and Pet Foods
Suggested link
Description of the problem Broiler chicks are typically exposed to continuous or near-continuous light for their first week of life (Scanes and Christensen, 2019), a practice supported by many broiler management guidelines (Aviagen, 2018; Cobb, 2021). The rationale behind this approach is to provide chicks with ample time for feeding during their rapid growth phase. However, the effectiveness of continuous lighting for modern fast-growing broilers during brooding remains...

Introduction Coccidiosis is the most prevalent enteric disease of major economic importance that affects the broiler industry worldwide, with annual global loss of more than $14 billion (Bafundo, 2025). Eimeria, a genus of apicomplexan parasites, cause coccidiosis in chickens, disrupting the host’s homeostasis and decreasing nutrient absorption and utilization. Seven species of Eimeria are widely known to affect chickens but E. necatrix, E. tenella, E. maxima, and E....

Introduction Slow-growing broilers have recently gained traction in mainstream broiler production in some European countries due to their improved leg health and welfare compared to conventional broilers (Rayner et al., 2020; Abeyesinghe et al., 2021; Baxter et al., 2021). Slow-growing broilers have been shown to have a better gait, lower prevalence of hock burn and footpad dermatitis (Rayner et al., 2020; Baxter et al., 2021), and perform more behaviors associated with positive...

1. Introduction Currently, with chickens on the path to becoming the most consumed meat worldwide and considering their potential role as reservoirs for zoonotic diseases, proper farm management has become a critical priority within the One Health framework, which emphasizes the interconnectedness of animal, human, and environmental health [1]. Concomitant with the increase of meat production, the escalating persistent problem of bacteria becoming resistant to antibiotics is linked...

1. Introduction Mycotoxins are low molecular weight secondary metabolites produced under appropriate humidity and temperature conditions by filamentous fungi that pose serious risks to animal and human health [1]. With over 300 types of mycotoxins identified to date, mycotoxins can accumulate in various feeds and foods and make agricultural products unfit for consumption [2]. However, many mycotoxins remain poorly understood due to limited knowledge of their toxicokinetics and...

1. Introduction Aflatoxins (AF) are secondary metabolites mainly produced by mycotoxigenic fungi of the genus Aspergillus [1]. AFB1 is one of the most extensively studied mycotoxins in humans and in a diverse range of animal species. It is widely acknowledged for its hepatotoxic and immunotoxic properties, and it has been classified as a Group I genotoxic carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) [2]. In sub-tropical and tropical countries, AFB1...

Introduction Barley is one of the main cereals produced in Norway and is used in broiler feed in low amounts due to high content of non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) (Bedford 1995; Knudsen 2014; Svihus and Gullord 2002) and lower energy value compared to maize, wheat or sorghum (Choct and Annison 1990; Khalil et al. 2020). The NSP fractions comprising soluble βglucans and arabinoxylans have gel-forming characteristics and are known to increase intestinal viscosity (Choct 2006),...
