Excellent information on the mode of action of the live attenuated ST vaccine, when applied on the first day of life, via drinking water.Several research studies show that the association of live attenuated SE and ST vaccines with probiotics is positive, when applied by spray, in the incubation plant, or in drinking water.I personally prefer it by spray, in the incubation plant, because we gain 24 ...

Excellent interview. Congratulations!In a short space of time, the interviewee touched on several points needed to be developed.The abyssal differences in antimicrobial (AMC) use in poultry and swine production must undoubtedly be taken into account.But... large companies and large cooperatives all operate in both segments. Why is the approach so different in the production chain?Another point tha ...

Despite many national and international campaigns on the prudent use of antimicrobials in animal production, the results have been, if not null, insignificant, especially in countries in Latin America, Africa and Asia.The results of your important research show this.It is not uncommon, in the regions mentioned above, that eggs from flocks of laying hens, treated with antimicrobials, are traded nor ...

Luis AlvesThanks for the information Professor. These studies meet the needs of producers, technicians and, above all, our final target, His Majesty the consumer.The environment also thanks!!!

Congratulations for the excellent work. It meets the needs of our Continent.The poultry industry in South America has similarities in the epidemiology of some diseases.The role of Dermanyssus gallinae in the maintenance (chronicity) of Fowl Typhoid, in some commercial laying farms, brings with it numerous problems for the poultry farmer and also for the consumer.On the one hand, less informed prod ...

Thanks for coming up with this interesting idea and article.At this point, I guess it is important to stress that, on the one hand, we create better conditions for animal welfare, reduce stress, cannibalism, some metabolic problems, including carcass alterations, leg problems, wooden breast syndrome (in the case of broilers). On the other hand, we significantly increase the risk of bacterial (salm ...

Dr.m.s.swami Are there commercial bacteriophages available in your country or are they experimental products?

Excellent your questioning and reflection. Without monitoring and data analysis, the industry will hardly achieve its goals, whatever the disease.The result is that, for not being able to reach satisfactory levels of contamination by salmonella in their production, many veterinarians still use - systematically - chemical and antimicrobial products, in the raw material, feed and water, aggressive t ...
