1. Introduction Salmonellosis is among the major causes of foodborne gastrointestinal infection in humans worldwide [1] and the second cause following campylobacteriosis in the European Union (EU) [2]. Particularly, non-typhoidal Salmonella spp. (NTS) are one of the bacterial pathogens with the highest disease burden among human foodborne enteric diseases [3]. Poultry products are considered as a major source of human infection in cases of foodborne salmonellosis caused by NTS [4]....

Each summer, soaring temperatures present a significant challenge for the poultry industry worldwide. Poultry are particularly vulnerable to heat stress due to their limited ability to regulate body temperature, making them highly susceptible to environmental heat. While the immediate...

1. Introduction Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), a toxic metabolite produced by Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus, is one of the most potent naturally occurring carcinogens [1]. It poses significant risks to animal health and productivity, particularly in poultry, where the contamination of feed is a prevalent issue [2]. Broiler chickens are highly susceptible to the adverse effects of AFB1 due to their rapid growth rates and high feed intake [3]. Recent studies have...

1. Introduction There is considerable interest in the successful development of low protein diets for broiler chickens, which axiomatically contain high inclusions of supplemental amino acids. This is because low protein diets have the potential to generate economic, environmental and bird welfare advantages. Formulation of low protein diets are usually achieved by decreasing...

I. INTRODUCTION Production improvements in commercial meat chickens via genetic selection and improved husbandry have resulted in rapid growing birds. These birds have endemically reduced locomotor ability; a conservative estimate is that 30% of birds in a flock are likely to have poor mobility (Knowles et al, 2008). Leg weakness has a direct impact on production due to lower bird quality, which may result in culls or condemnation of carcasses. While not well understood, early rapid...

I. INTRODUCTION Non-therapeutic in-feed usage of antibiotics in animal diets has been implicated in development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, some of which are zoonotic and pathogenic to humans (Stanton, 2013). Based on this fact, the European Union placed a ban on such usage of antibiotics 12 years ago (European commission, 2005; Castanon, 2007). However, the continuous incidence of antibiotic resistance in other regions is fueling the consideration and legislation of a global...

I. INTRODUCTION Exogenous feed enzymes were first introduced as commercially-relevant feed additives in the 1980s with an initial focus on reduction of the antinutritional effects of high molecular weight soluble pentosans in wheat- and barley-based diets for young broiler chickens (Bedford & Partridge, 2010). Exogenous phytase was launched in the early 1990s to increase the digestibility of organic phosphorus and to reduce the antinutritional effects of phytic acid (Selle &...

I. INTRODUCTION The digestive dynamics of starch and protein are considered pivotal to broiler performance (Liu and Selle, 2015). Moreover, it was proposed that the rates of starch digestion and glucose absorption exceed the rates of protein digestion and amino acid absorption and this asynchrony in digestive dynamics compromises the performance of broiler chickens. If so, it follows that the provision of rapidly-digestible protein should enhance broiler performance in a reciprocal...

I. INTRODUCTION In Australia, the National Animal Welfare Research Development and Extension (RD&E) Strategy is a cross-sectoral strategy under the National Agricultural RD&E Framework. Each of the livestock industries in Australia, including the egg industry, is represented by this National Strategy, which is active in identifying the key areas of importance for the welfare of livestock. Over the last four to five years, in particular, this National Strategy has consistently...

INTRODUCTION Feed particle size is an often-overlooked aspect of poultry production. Producers should not assume that feed is of a uniform size and homogeneously mixed, or that the feed mill is providing the ideal mix of particles in a ration. Feed particles range in size from very fine to coarse, and different grinding methods will result in different particle size distributions. Differences in particle size within a ration can affect both the digestive system and the...

1. Introduction Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a phenomenon where microorganisms develop resistance to specific antimicrobial agents, posing serious health risks [1]. According to conservative estimates, AMR is projected to be responsible for 10 million deaths annually by 2050 [2]. Currently, the European Union (EU) reports that over 670,000 infections are linked to AMR each year, resulting in nearly 33,000 deaths directly attributable to confirmed resistance [3]. Poultry...

1. Introduction Antimicrobials have revolutionized modern medicine by enabling effective treatments for many life-threatening diseases and saving countless lives. However, the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) among pathogens has become a global health issue affecting humans, animals, and environment [1]. Recognizing AMR as a critical challenge, the World Health Organization (WHO) has emphasized the urgent need for concerted efforts to combat this growing threat...

1. Introduction Avian Reovirus (ARV) poses a significant threat to the poultry industry, infecting both domestic and wild avian species. ARV infections manifest in a diverse range of clinical signs, encompassing tenosynovitis/arthritis, immunosuppression, enteric disease, hepatitis, myocarditis, malabsorption, and runting–stunting syndrome [1,2]. While domestic avian species are generally susceptible to ARV, meat-type chickens and turkeys [3,4] are, however, more susceptible to...
