1. Introduction Poultry production is an important agricultural subsector in many countries. Poultry are birds which render economic services to humans as a primary supplier of meat, egg and raw materials for different industries (feather, waste products, etc.), source of income and employment to people when compared to other domestic animals [1]. According to USDA (2020), the world chicken meat production in 2020 increased than previous years. In July 2020, the total production of...

1. Introduction The anti-predator behavior of roosting on the elevated structure shown by the ancestor of the domestic fowl (jungle fowl) has been seen in domesticated avian species even after they were reared in the indoor housing system [1,2]. The avian species, including the domestic fowl, exhibit the tendon-locking phenomenon, which allows them to express behaviors such as perching with minimal muscular effort [3,4]. Using aerial (raised) perches is considered a priority for...

I. INTRODUCTION Necrotic enteritis (NE) is a major intestinal disease in commercial poultry. It affects ~40% of broiler flocks and costs the industry through increased mortalities and reduced growth performances. The causative agent is Clostridium perfringens (CP) a Gram-positive member of the normal intestinal microbiota of poultry. A disturbance in the intestinal microbiome or a change in the behaviour of CP can result in the development of NE. CP can produce > 18 different...

I. INTRODUCTION The physiological patterns of hen FI and BW trajectory are established by early lay (Muir et al. 2023a). Careful management of lighting and feeding patterns during rearing can regulate bird size and feeding habits by the end of rearing (Muir et al. 2023b). Whether this influences persistency of lay, efficiency of production and egg quality during an extended laying period is unknown. The lighting program during rearing can alter pullet age at first egg (AFE), the...

I. INTRODUCTION The mineralisation of calciferous eggshells is an extremely physiologically demanding process, having immense calcium requirements. As a result, laying hens have highly efficient, closely managed calcium homeostatic mechanisms involving a complex series of feedback loops primarily regulated by parathyroid hormone, calcitonin, and calcitriol (de Matos, 2008; Sinclair-Black et al., 2023). Calcitriol is the bioactive form of vitamin D, which increases calcium absorption...

I. INTRODUCTION Spotty Liver Disease (SLD) is a major problem in free-range layer farming (Courtice et al., 2018). The causative agent of SLD has been identified as Campylobacter hepaticus (Van et al., 2017). The epidemiology of SLD in cage-free layers is poorly understood. Three analytical epidemiological studies have been conducted in this series. The studies surveyed cage-free layer houses across Australia, searching for statistical associations between facility and management...

I. INTRODUCTION Poultry house moisture contributes to many of the issues that poultry farms experience. As moisture builds in the litter/bedding, microbial populations thrive, more ammonia is generated, and the incidence and severity of footpad dermatitis increases. Much of the moisture in the house comes from the birds themselves, so in order to control moisture, one must understand the current moisture loads in the house. For example, broilers grow faster and convert feed more...

I. INTRODUCTION Sustainability comprises three principal components: the environment (demand for resources and potential for environmental pollution), ethical issues (welfare of man and his animals), and economic robustness (FAO, 2012). At first glance, insect protein is a sustainable alternative to traditional protein sources such as soybean meal. Insect production requires less land, water and other resources than traditional protein sources, and they can be raised on...

1. Introduction The performance and activities of male breeders (roosters) are critical for egg fertility and hatchability in commercial layer and broiler breeding houses [1,2]. In a study, researchers found positive correlations between rooster body weight and both the laying intensity of fertilized eggs and the hatchability percentage of chicks [2]. A review by Kingor [1] underscores the importance of how the physical conditions and management of roosters can directly impact...

Introduction Poultry scientists have long discussed and debated how the energy values of feed ingredients should be expressed (Zuidhof 2019). Pesti (2024) suggested that it is time for a paradigm shift in the way feed ingredient nutrient contents are described, and labeled the new categories collectively the Armidale method (see Fig. 1 for examples). He also proposed expanding the net energy (NE) to NEATP, based on the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) system of...

1. Introduction Poultry is the most consumed animal protein source in the world, and the trend is expected to continue increasing [1]. The world population reached 8 billion in 2022, and is likely to reach 9 billion in 2037 [2], which will continue to increase pressure on the global chicken-meat industry. One way to meet this increasing demand is to improve the efficiency of chicken-meat production. Precision nutrition is a strategy to improve growth efficiency, reducing the...

INTRODUCTION Reducing the production cost of quality meat and eggs for the ever-growing world population is a prime target of the poultry industry. Conventional feed ingredients like corn and soybean meal are widely used in broiler feeding programs, which increase the competition among food and feed and lead to raise production costs (Donohue and Cunningham, 2009; Stefanello et al., 2016). Several strategies were attempted to minimize the cost per unit production, such as...
