Dr. Luke Kramer, Geneticist at Hy-Line International, explores how targeted genetic selection can improve both the production performance and overall welfare of Hy-Line White laying hens. ...
Dr. Chandrasekaran discusses the challenges facing poultry production in India, including managing depletion rates and raw material contamination. He stresses the importance of adopting proactive approaches and standardized procedures to ensure consistent, high-quality production and support India’s growth in the global poultry industry....
Dr. Ajimul, a veterinarian with 15+ years of experience, highlights Bangladesh's rapidly growing poultry sector, producing 24 billion eggs and 1.5 million metric tons of meat annually. With rising demand for protein, the industry is set to double production in the next decade....
Dr. Sachin Patil, DGM - Key Clients at Huvepharma, discusses strategies to prevent coccidiosis in poultry through coccidiostats and innovative vaccines. He highlights Huvepharma’s latest solutions, including hatchery-level vaccines, to boost gut health and performance in broilers, layers, and breeders....
April Santos (Evonik Animal Nutrition) explains how tributyrin, a form of butyric acid, enhances gut integrity, immune function, and nutrient absorption in poultry. Learn how this solution replaces antibiotic growth promoters for a more sustainable and safe food future....
I. INTRODUCTION Modern broilers grow 5 times faster on 40% less feed than they did 60 years ago (Zuidhof et al., 2014). Because high body weight (BW) correlates negatively with reproduction and health (Decuypere et al., 2010), the severity of broiler breeder feed restriction increases every year relative to broiler growth potential. This intensifies competition for feed, resulting in unequal distribution of feed and poor flock uniformity. Achieving and maintaining high flock...
I. INTRODUCTION Whole grain feeding (WGF) involves the partial substitution of ground grain with whole grain in boiler diets. Whole grain (WG), usually wheat, may be added either prior to (prepellet) or following (post-pellet) steam-pelleting. WGF generates heavier and presumably more functional gizzards, which are thought to be the genesis of responses in feed conversion ratios (FCR) and energy utilisation (Liu et al., 2015). However, post-pellet WGF also provides broilers with the...
Dr. Sunil Sawant, General Manager - Poultry Health at JAPFA India, discusses rising feed costs, disease management, and trends like automation and biosecurity. He shares insights on optimizing production, reducing antibiotic use, and driving sustainable growth in India’s poultry sector.

1. Introduction It is well known that the major cost in poultry farming is feed, representing 70% of the total production costs [1]. In order to reduce this cost, the research has recently focused on exploring and evaluating new sources of raw materials from agricultural and industrial by-products for use as animal feed. Key benefits of this practice include lower dependence of animal production on human consumed seeds and reduced waste management costs [2]. Around 2.1 million tons...
The 2026 International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE) is less than six months away and has surpassed 629,000 square feet of exhibit space and secured more than 1,130 exhibitors. It is the largest trade show floor ever in IPPE's history, and there is more to come!
As the only annual exposition highlighting the best...
1. Introduction Aggressive behavior of roosters toward hens are rare in natural environments, where the two sexes form separate social hierarchies and male dominance is expressed in a passive manner [1–3]. However, it has been observed that males from broiler parental lines exhibit a high frequency of aggression toward females, especially during the display of sexual behavior [4–13]. This pattern of mating-related aggression has also been observed in slow-growing broiler...
Managing flies in poultry farms is crucial for maintaining flock health, ensuring optimal productivity, and protecting public health. Flies thrive in poultry environments due to the availability of manure, spilled feed, and warm, humid conditions. To address this issue, it is essential to adopt a multi-faceted approach that incorporates changes in nutrition, management, water use, environment, and pest control strategies. Understanding the Fly Problem in Poultry...
Discover how GAA enhances energy metabolism in broilers, improves growth, and spares costly ingredients like arginine and fats. Learn why it's more efficient than L-arginine and how it supports better performance and cost savings in poultry diets. ...
Advanced Bio-Agro Tech Ltd. (ABTL) and the Agharkar Research Institute of the Maharashtra Association for the Cultivation of Science (Department of Science & Technology, Government of India) have entered into a strategic research agreement.
This pioneering initiative will...
1. Introduction The global population is projected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, driving a significant increase in food and feed demand and the urgent need for alternative protein sources [1]. Currently, soybean meal is a crucial protein source in poultry and livestock diets due to its high-quality protein composition. However, sustainability concerns, including deforestation, monocropping, and biodiversity loss, as well as the environmental impacts of conventional crop systems such...

Introduction Animal welfare pertains to the quality of life of an animal, denoting the cumulative positive and negative experiences of an animal 1 . The welfare of farmed animals impacts their development and productivity, shaping both...
In poultry farming, worms and protozoa represent the two primary classes of internal parasites that impact bird health, welfare, and productivity. While indoor-reared poultry typically avoid infestation from worms that require intermediate hosts, free-range birds are more susceptible. Interestingly, broilers tend to...
Enrichment is the process of improving the environment of an animal, to meet their behavioral needs and ultimately improve their welfare. Enrichment helps to reduce stress and improve welfare by providing physical and mental stimulation, encouraging highly-motivated species specific behaviors, allowing the animal more control over their...
Dr. Badal Singh shares insights into the grain crisis, feed cost strategies, and the future of poultry farming in India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. With decades of expertise, he highlights the role of innovative solutions, AI, and modern practices in overcoming industry challenges and boosting performance....
