@Antônio Mário Penz Junior in DSM, I have been working for the past 5-6 years on exactly this topic, and the results are fascinating. Blood composition tells us an enormous amount about the health, welfare, and nutritional state of the bird. We see surprising amounts of variance, even in plasma analytes such as calcium or sodium, where regulatory mechanisms are quite sophisticated. We are seeing a lot of associations between the blood metabolome and important animal health and...
Mr. Al Faiz Bathi of Anns Poultry, which manages a 100,000-layer farming capacity in Chhattisgarh, discusses why the use of plastic trays should be limited to farmers and why paper trays are a better alternative.

Mr. Sanjeev Gupta, Owner of Khusboo Feed Mills & the Vice-President of Poultry Federation of India highlights the challenges the farmers were facing due to over-production and less chick & feed prices. He also conveys that all the associations should come together & promote eggs and its benefits. There are a lot of myths around the consumption of eggs and how we can make India a protein deficit free country. ...
Lighting plays a central role in every poultry house. It influences animal behaviour, supports daily routines, and contributes to overall farm performance. When lighting works well, everything else runs smoother. We’re announcing the next generation of CORAX and PULSA lighting systems - built to meet...
It is not common to have discussions that bring blood composition data to support some bird health condition, as Dr. Cotter said regarding toxins. I believe that the poultry (broiler, laying hens, and breeder hens) hematology information can come as support to different diagnostics, as it happens in humans and other species, such as horses, dogs, and cats. ...
Juan José Mallo, Technical and Commercial Director at Norel, explains how the company is helping nutritionists increase phosphorus release in animal diets. By reducing calcium–phytate complex formation and introducing calcium pidolate, a 100% available organic calcium source, it’s possible to unlock more phosphorus from plant ingredients while maintaining adequate calcium levels. ...
Jetsabel Gutiérrez Vallejos, Poultry Product Manager at Phosphea, explains how the interaction between calcium and phosphorus directly influences digestibility, bone development, and the metabolic functions of poultry.

1. Introduction Eggs offer accessible and affordable sources of high-quality protein along with important micronutrients [1]. With the growing population, demand for table eggs continues to rise [2]. Meanwhile, consumers are demanding improved animal welfare, with a notable shift in table egg production from caged to cage-free (CF) systems [2,3]. Considering the welfare issues in conventional cages (CC), CF housing systems are gaining momentum globally [4,5]. As part of this trend,...
1. Introduction The ongoing pandemic of a highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) of subtype H5N1 (goose/Guangdong lineage [gs/GD]), clade 2.3.4.4b, is posing an unprecedented threat, impacting both industrial and small-scale poultry operations [1,2]. Similarly, HPAIV infections in wild birds, particularly those leading to mass mortalities among colony-breeding species, are exerting significant pressure on avian biodiversity [3,4]. The recent increase in spillover...
1. Introduction Over the last few hundred years, humans have influenced the evolution of multiple animal species and different ecosystems involved in animal production [1]. This approach has led to the genetic change of domestic animals and has undoubtedly been driven by agriculture. The most important genetic changes in poultry production have occurred in the previous 60 years. Modern broiler chickens are likely the clearest example of these genetic improvements. Newborn chicks grow...
Mina Sedhom, Sales Manager at Cigalah, highlights the collaboration with ABTL, a global leader in enzyme manufacturing. This partnership has strengthened the performance across the UAE ...
1. Introduction Although the global production of duck meat reached 6.07 million tonnes in 2022 [1], an increase of 111.5% since 2000, there is limited information available on different areas of commercial duck production compared to broiler chickens, laying hens, or even turkey. Along with the increase in meat production due to more ducks being raised annually, there has been a significant improvement in genetic selection to increase the growth rate. Particularly, Pekin ducks have...
ABTL, a leading company in feed additives and enzyme solutions, is pleased to announce its participation in the 12th Kolkata International Poultry Fair 2026 , one of South Asia’s most important...
Winter brings a unique set of challenges to modern poultry production, especially in open or poorly insulated houses. As temperatures drop, chickens expend more energy just to maintain body heat, which diverts nutrients away from growth, egg production, and immune function. Prolonged cold stress elevates...
