Ioannis Mavromichalis, a Ph.D. consultant in the animal nutrition industry, mentioned in Feed Strategy, "In my experience, feed prices always fluctuate. When they rise, the most effective way to maintain profitability is by enhancing the feed conversion ratio, or FCR." The Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) is crucial in livestock farming as it significantly affects the cost per kilogram of meat. Feed costs can account for 40% to 70% of total production expenses, varying by country and type...
Introduction The genus Salmonella is considered a leading cause of foodborne illnesses around the world (WHO, 2017). These bacteria are among the most significant agents of food and water poisoning in the United States and Europe (Bäumler et al., 2000; Callejón et al., 2015; Varma et al., 2005).

Introduction Antimicrobial resistance (AR) is a worldwide concern. It is expected that deaths linked to AR could rise from 700,000 to 10 million deaths per year by 2050[1]. On the other hand, In developed countries, an estimated 23,000 (United States) to 25,000 (Europe) deaths are attributable to resistant pathogens each year [2]. In terms of economic loses, AR could cause a global loss of production as high as 100 trillion dollars which represents a huge impact on the economy...
