I. INTRODUCTION A hen’s physiological patterns including FI and BW trajectory are established by early lay (Muir et al. 2022). Therefore, management tools such as lighting and feeding programs during rearing may offer opportunities to regulate bird size and establish feeding habits by the end of rearing. This may also influence persistency of lay, egg quality and hen health during an extended laying period. The lighting program during rearing can modify bird age at sexual...

I. INTRODUCTION Maintenance of intestinal integrity is of fundamental importance to the overall health and growth performance of the bird. Disturbances in the homeostasis of the gastrointestinal tract can result in inflammatory process, loss of intestinal integrity, low nutrient digestibility and poor growth performance. In a situation of intestinal inflammation, pro-inflammatory interleukins such as interleukin-12 are produced with the objective to defending the host from any...

INTRODUCTION Polymyxin B and E (colistin) are cationic antimicrobial peptides currently reserved as a last resort treatment for serious infections caused by multi-drug resistant Gram-negative bacteria (Poirel et al., 2017). Although colistin has been used in human and veterinary medicine for over 50 years, it has recently become increasingly important in the treatment of infections with carbapenem-resistant organisms where few treatment options now remain. Enterobacteriaceae such as...

I. INTRODUCTION Growing concern over the use of antibiotics due to the rise in antimicrobial resistance and rising consumer demand for antibiotic-free products is increasingly becoming a challenge for poultry production. There is a need to identify natural and economical alternatives such as probiotics. The supplementation of probiotics as an antibiotic growth promoter (AGP) alternative in poultry production has the potential to improve poultry health, performance, growth, and feed...

I. INTRODUCTION Consumer demand for organic and free-range poultry products is driving the commercial egg industry away from conventional housing systems towards free-range housing systems that allow birds access to the outdoors. Whilst these systems are considered higher welfare, they also carry more health risks that can impact the intestinal health of the bird, such as greater exposure to parasites as reported by Permin et al., (1999). Intestinal helminths such as nematodes and...

INTRODUCTION Thermotolerant Campylobacter spp. are a major cause of foodborne gastrointestinal infections worldwide. Human campylobacteriosis in its acute phase is characterized by diarrhea, fever, abdominal cramps, and vomiting and has been linked to the development of Guillain-Barré syndrome, reactive arthritis, and irritable bowel syndrome as complications after the acute phase of the disease (Loshaj-Shala et al., 2015). The WHO (2015) estimated that Campylobacter...

Introduction Foodborne infections in humans caused by Salmonella are of primary importance around the world. Majowicz et al. [1] estimated that non-typhoidal Salmonella was the cause of 93.8 million cases of gastroenteritis, with 155.000 deaths yearly worldwide. For 2010 it was estimated that foodborne salmonellosis caused by non-typhoidal Salmonella resulted in 6.43 million Disablility-Adjusted Live Years [2]. Salmonellosis is characterized by acute onset of fever,...

I. INTRODUCTION With the recent COVID-19 pandemic disrupting the regular supply chain in agriculture and threatening food security, it is imperative to look for innovative ideas to meet the population's food demand (FAO, 2021). The agriculture sector is pressured to offer sustainable, economical, and ethically-produced animal protein. Egg, a cheap and relatively easy-to-produce commodity, is one of the best candidates for such protein. Thus, there is a surging increase in layer...

Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by fungi, the most abundant of which belong to the genera Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Fusarium . The conditions required for fungal development and the production of mycotoxins vary strongly with the substrate on which the fungal species develop.Because mycotoxins are mainly present in food and feed, the gut is the first target for mycotoxin toxicity, but it is also the site of the absorption of mycotoxins that leads to...

Mycotoxins are produced by fungi and can lead to sickness in humans and animals, which explains why testing for them in crops, feeds, and food products is so important and is often a regulatory and customer requirement. Fortunately, testing technologies have evolved from slow, tedious, and complicated to smart, fast, and data connected. Tests vary in their performance capabilities and suitability for field, process, or lab environments. With a number of different options, you may be...

Cibele Torres (Zinpro) This study investigated the performance of broilers fed diets formulated to optimize phytate hydrolysis in the upper gut and supplemented with reduced levels of Zn in the form of Zn amino acid complexed minerals (ZnAA). A total of 3,600 d-old straight-run Ross 308 broilers were randomly distributed across 72 floor pens. Birds received 1 of 6 diets (corn-soybean meal based) from day one to 37 d with 12 replicate pens per...
