In my opinion combination of gut actingantibiotic like levofloxacin and antibiotics which acts on alveolar level in lungs like tilmicosin along with gut acidifier can protect affected flock followed by course of pre and probiotics to establish beneficial microflora (Healthy microbial population ) Tiamulin Hydrogen fumarate works better as preventive medicine . Thanks With Regards Dr Rakesh N ...

Dear Dr Jaydip mulik , Undercooked soymeal can not be used with mash feed which affects solubility of protein prior to digestion .Pelleting does improve degree of cooking owing to steam treatment in the conditioner thereby improving solubility of protein prior to digestion . Pelleted feed is a partial digested feed whereby birds have to spend less energy on digestion which can be spared for other ...

Dear Dr Nitin , In my opinion these gizzard lesion would have been contributed by citrinin toxicity through the feed ingredient like maize gluten meal . you are also advised to confirm whether the maize gluten meal was processed by dry milling or wet milling . wet milling products have higher concentration of citrinin Thanks Dr Rakesh Nimbalkar Consultant Poultry nutritionist Polchem Hyg ...

Dear Dr Jaydip Mulik , Pelleting technology is for converting low grade feed nutrients to high grade feed nutrients ( Conversion of complex carbohydrate to simple carbohydrates) for better digestion and assimilation without any variation in growth of birds as pellets are more ldeal to mash in nutritional balance . In context of CV of mixers , it is only related with dispersion of micro nutrients ...

Dear Mr Guererro, We need to assess the quantity of recycling of already processed material from vibro sieve to the pellet hopper after pelleting .gelatinization is irreversible process .(Recycled material does absorb steam efficiently ) . Higher the recycled fines lesser the absorption of steam which leads to lower pellet durability and higher fines in finished goods . You need to check fibr ...

Dear Cedric Maxwell,When pellet durability is concerned maintain steam pressure at 3.5 bar . We need to check feed formulation (recipe ) to assess pellet ability of the feed and pellet durability .Thanks 

Dear Ing Dragan lonut, The most important aspect of pelleting is conditioning time of the mash co factored with moisture, temperature, mechanical shear, pressure of the steam at the conditioners opening . Lower pressure reduces the heat carrying capacity of steam which leads to condensation thereby affecting gelatinazation of starches and pellet durability. Therefore coating of conditioner wi ...

Dear all , whatever may be the cause of variation , grading of chicks based on body weights then plan feeding regime which will ensure extra protein supply to underweight chicks ( top dressings of soy meal is highly recommended1- 2 grams per bird ) to correct variation in chicks ( > 95% uniformity ) . Also monitor nutrient profile of the feed ingredient for guaranteed parameters like protein ...

Dear Dr Dawit , Ensure level of calcium in broiler diet as high calcium binds trace minerals like Zinc , Manganese and phosphorous lowering their biological activity . Zinc , Manganese and Copper in conjunction with vitamin C ( Ascorbic acid ) are responsible for bone matrix formation . Deficiencies of these mineral may cause leg abnormalities . Also ensure your source of calcium whether dolomi ...

Dear Raj Mehra , Cardinal causes includes nutritional deficiency ( Salt , essential amino acids and minerals deficiencies ) caused by reduced feed uptake owing to environmental stress ( sudden change in climatic conditions ). Managemental cause includes stocking density leading to overcrowding . Prolapse and pasty vents also triggers of pecking . IRecommendation - Addition of salt , any grow ...
