1. Introduction The health of the gastrointestinal tract is one of the important indicators of the overall health of an organism. The health of the intestine is given considerable attention in human nutrition due to the existence of various autoimmune and other diseases. Intestinal epithelial barrier dysfunction and increased permeability result in a “leaky gut”, which is associated with intestinal disorders in humans, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), bowel...

1. Introduction Animal welfare is a fundamental component of sustainability, agricultural development and food security. In order for a livestock system to be sustainable, it should be sustainable economically, environmentally and ecologically, and at the same time, it should be accepted ethically and socially [1–3]. Today, a product of animal origin is not considered sustainable unless the social demand for welfare of the production animals is satisfied [1]. Animal...

1. Introduction In light of the challenges posed by climate change, economic crisis, overpopulation, and high global demand for protein, poultry production emerges as a more environmentally friendly option compared to meat from livestock. It has a lower impact on greenhouse gas emissions and demonstrates higher conversion rates [1]. Additionally, poultry production requires fewer resources and has a faster production cycle, making it an appealing protein source [2]. However, the...

1. Introduction The availability of good quality quail eggs to consumers depends on the degree of deteriorative impacts they have suffered before being offered for sale. This degree of deterioration will be determined by the management of the eggs, which mainly includes the environmental conditions to which they are subjected, whereby the degree of internal deterioration of eggs is lower in cool compared to hot environments [1,2]. However, these cool environments will only be fully...

This is an interesting review. However, there are two or three important dietary interactions that have been overlooked. First, it is mentioned that methionine is necessary for the synthesis of choline, but I couldn't find anything on the re-methylation of homocysteine by betaine to form methionine. The re-methlyation of homocysteine is accomplished by betaine in the feed or that is formed in the oxidation of choline. There are a number of papers on this subject not related to heat stress...

Feed plays a fundamental role in the growth and development of farm animals, as a balanced diet is essential for their health and determine an optimal performance. One of the most important aspects in the production of animal feed is the presentation of the feed, as it has a direct influence on feed consumption and...

@Ernestomaria Ene Dear, It's a quite new idea that plant extracts play effective roles in coccidiosis control. I always believe the conventional anticoccidials and anticoccidiostats work better. In recent years,I find in the market a few products are available for such application. We can share the information on such products.... Thank you....

Dear Dr. Vermana. Safety margins are a common practice in animal nutrition basically as a way to ensure birds receive 100% of the time (or close to that) the nutrients they need to keep high standards of performance. In that regard, use of phytase (which itself is another source of variability) does not eliminate the use of safety margins. Our job is to try to reduce them as much as we can (precision nutrition) for both economical and ecological reasons.
On the other hand, I totally agree with...

There is increasing evidence that supplementing small amounts of prebiotic xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS) into poultry diets has positive effects on bird performance and gastrointestinal health. Soluble XOS that reach the caeca intact are utilised by beneficial bacteria, inducing positive effects such as increased production of short chain fatty acids (Aachary & Prapulla, 2011). Commercial endo-xylanases are added to diets to reduce digesta viscosity, but have the side effect of producing...

Trace minerals are often supplied in the forms of inorganic salts such as sulphates into poultry feed to meet the requirements. The ionic bonds in inorganic salts of minerals are very weak allowing the metal ion to disassociate once in contact with water, binding up diet antagonists such as other minerals, vitamins, and enzymes. To mitigate these negative effects technologies such as organic minerals or mineral complexes, which are less reactive, are used. In hydroxychloride minerals (Hyd)...

I. Introduction Salmonella spp. in poultry pose a serious risk for food safety. The complex nature of Salmonella infections in poultry requires a multifactorial solution. It is key to preventing Salmonella colonization throughout the entire gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Short chain fatty acids (SCFA) have been described as having beneficial effects in the upper part of the gut, whereas medium chain fatty acids (MCFA) target the lower GIT (Van Immerseel et al., 2009). Coated butyrate...

I. Introduction Wheat and sorghum are the two major feed grains used in Australia for broiler diets; however, wheat is more common and is usually considered better quality than sorghum. The local chicken meat industry may have to increase by 60% to meet demand in 2050 so strategies are needed to promote sustainable chicken-meat production to meet this anticipated demand. Crude protein reductions in broiler diets could be a major factor in the quest for sustainable production....

As in commercial broiler chicken production, broiler breeder performance depends upon adequate dietary trace minerals, including zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), and copper (Cu). Broiler breeder diets currently used in the industry contain levels of the inorganic forms of these minerals with generous safety margins. Researchers now report that combining inorganic sources of Zn, Mn, and Cu with organic hydroxy analog of methionine (HMTBa) forms in breeder hen...

We know that young geese benefit from warmer drinking water, but what is the optimal water temperature? Poultry scientists take a closer look
A new investigation into goose health suggests providing drinking water that is at least 18? (64.4?) may boost the activity of digestive enzymes, promote intestinal development, increase water consumption, and even increase goose eye temperature. Based on their findings, the...

Particulate matter (PM) can damage bird lungs. Now poultry scientists gather data to give a fuller picture of the effects of PM in different housing systems
Poultry scientists are working to better understand the impacts of particulate matter (PM) on bird health and production. Particulate matter includes very small particles of feed, feathers, animal waste, and dander. Researchers have found that PM...
