@Dr Kotaiah Talapaneni , In my 45 years of feeding commercial broilers, I have never restricted feed intake under good commercial conditions (exception for high> 98 degrees F temperatures in the house years ago). For broilers fed lower-protein diets balanced to energy, these diets and management conditions resulted in some of the higher growth rates in the US with very lower than average production costs. I encouraged more consumption by having better pellet quality and a lower number of...

1. Introduction Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a phenomenon where microorganisms develop resistance to specific antimicrobial agents, posing serious health risks [1]. According to conservative estimates, AMR is projected to be responsible for 10 million deaths annually by 2050 [2]. Currently, the European Union (EU) reports that over 670,000 infections are linked to AMR each year, resulting in nearly 33,000 deaths directly attributable to confirmed resistance [3]. Poultry...

1. Introduction Antimicrobials have revolutionized modern medicine by enabling effective treatments for many life-threatening diseases and saving countless lives. However, the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) among pathogens has become a global health issue affecting humans, animals, and environment [1]. Recognizing AMR as a critical challenge, the World Health Organization (WHO) has emphasized the urgent need for concerted efforts to combat this growing threat...

1. Introduction Avian Reovirus (ARV) poses a significant threat to the poultry industry, infecting both domestic and wild avian species. ARV infections manifest in a diverse range of clinical signs, encompassing tenosynovitis/arthritis, immunosuppression, enteric disease, hepatitis, myocarditis, malabsorption, and runting–stunting syndrome [1,2]. While domestic avian species are generally susceptible to ARV, meat-type chickens and turkeys [3,4] are, however, more susceptible to...

Good Advice from the Experienced Veterinarian Dr. Balasundaram, a leading consultant for layers in Hyderabad and Siddipet. While good formulations and optimal feed strategies are essential, it’s equally important to pay attention to the liver and kidneys, vital organs now recognized as key contributors to bird growth and performance. Gut health has rightly become a major focus. Many professionals are enhancing it through targeted approaches such as the use of...

A very insightful article — thank you for sharing such well-structured information on saponins in poultry nutrition. As someone keenly following the shift toward natural feed additives, it’s encouraging to see research-backed alternatives gaining traction, especially in the post-AGP (Antibiotic Growth Promoters) era. The versatility of saponins, especially those derived from Yucca schidigera and Quillaja saponaria, is quite fascinating. Their ability to act as natural...

@M.C. Fernando R. Feuchter A. You are absolutely right. Chickens are not stupid and they anticipate feed restriction. So, once feed is available they take advantage of it. After all, chickens are not concerned about feed conversion, they are concerned about survival. For this very reason they don't eat in the peak of the highest temperature as some poultry producers believe, they stay calm drinking water as needed and exposing to air movement if available, otherwise they will pant and open...

I. INTRODUCTION Chicken meat and egg production has been on the increase in all continents with the highest increases in Asia and South America (Mandal, 2010). High temperatures coupled with high humidity impose severe stress on birds and can cause huge economic loss. Such loss is due to reduced performance, immune suppression, and an increase in respiratory disease and mortality (Mandal, 2010). Exposure of chickens to high temperature also increases the induction of heat shock...

I. INTRODUCTION Bacillus-based probiotics have gained increased attention as alternatives to antibiotic growth promoters (AGP) to support broiler performance in systems aiming to reduce the use of antibiotics and maintain gut health and function. Combatting poor gut health and disease susceptibility in an era without antibiotics has been made increasingly difficult due to the increasing cost of commercial feed ingredients. This has forced some producers to use cheaper dietary...

I. INTRODUCTION Egg-associated Salmonella infection is a significant international public health problem. Internal contamination of eggs with S. Enteritidis has been the principal concern in North America and Europe, whereas external contamination with S. Typhimurium has been the predominant issue in Australia. Some strategies for controlling egg-borne Salmonella are designed to act with precision against epidemiologically important serovars, but others are applicable...
