1. Introduction Chickens represent the most widespread source of animal protein that is acceptable for nearly all communities, and, not surprisingly, the highly efficient commercial production of chickens is practised daily worldwide. However, chickens also represent a reservoir of zoonotic agents like Salmonella or Campylobacter. Chickens in commercial production are hatched from disinfected eggs in a clean hatchery environment, despite Gallus gallus being evolved to hatch in...

American University of Beirut Many thanks, Dr. Leeson, for an excellent article. I have only one comment regarding ideal temperature for layers. I agree with you that 26 degrees is ideal for layers in post-peak production but before peak production a lower temperature is desirable to stimulate them to eat more to meet adequate production and desirable body weight. I enjoyed your article immensely. Best regards ...

Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation’s Dr Mila Meijer injected oregano essential oil compounds into fertile eggs to test its impact and found that it had a positive impact on the developing chick’s immune system. “Carvacrol is the main compound found in...
1. Introduction Trace minerals such as zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), and copper (Cu) play critical roles in bone formation and eggshell quality [1,2]. Zn supports bone and cartilage integrity by facilitating collagen formation and hydroxyapatite crystallization [3], while Mn contributes to bone development by activating enzymes involved in synthesizing mucopolysaccharides in bone cartilage [4,5]. Cu is essential for maintaining bone tensile strength by aiding in the cross-linking of...
Context This note is an overview of trends in animal proteins and its traditional and emerging substitutes from a consumer point of view. It does not have the ambition of being exhaustive, it should rather be seen as an introduction to the rapidly evolving world of alternative proteins in the background of global warming. The choice of a protein interacts with numerous attributes that question consumers, as indicated by Figure 1. Some of these attributes are of the public good...
Introduction Animal husbandry, the agricultural practice of breeding and raising livestock, is a major food-producing industry worldwide. The increasing global demand for animal protein results in rapidly growing animal production as well as the growth of animal feed and the feed additive market. The feed additives have played a significant role in the sustainability of the livestock industry. There are four major drivers for the growth of the animal feed additive market including:...
1. Introduction 1.1. Background Chickens struggle to recognize other individuals after visible changes are applied to the comb or plumage [1]. Much like chickens are able to use visual cues to differentiate each other, artificial intelligence (AI) is capable of utilizing image or video inputs for reidentification (re-ID) purposes. Animal re-ID, the task of identifying individual animals within one (or sometimes several) species, finds applications in various fields,...
1. Introduction Among agricultural industries, the poultry industry is prominent in many countries, since it supplies the majority of human protein[1]. Providing humans with energy, protein, and essential micronutrients, poultry contributes substantially to food security and nutrition globally. In addition to having short production cycles, poultry can convert a wide variety of agricultural byproducts and wastes into meat and eggs that are edible to humans [2]. Increasing...
