The price index of veterinary APIs was 63.17-63.26-63.43-63.53 respectively for the four weeks of this month, from August 7th to 28th. It indicates that the overall veterinary drug raw material market was stable this month, with some varieties fluctuating and adjusting. In the first half of the month, most categories, such as doxycycline hydrochloride and neomycin sulfate, showed oscillating adjustments; categories, such as florfenicol, amoxicillin, and doxycycline hydrochloride,...

1. Introduction Gut microbiota, represented by bacteria, archaea, viruses, and eukaryotes, take part in regulating several functions in both humans and animals [1]. It has been estimated that the chicken gut can be colonized by at least 1000 different microbial strains that are involved in maintaining the intestinal health of hens while sustaining productivity and growth [2,3]. This microbiota takes part in various metabolic pathways related to nutrient digestion and absorption,...

What many nutritionists do in LCF, is to create 2 nutrients for calcium. One might simply have the name calcium and would include the total amount of calcium in the ingredients plus the value assigned in the phytase matrix. To this nutrient it would be assigned the min and max restrictions and it would be used to calculate the Ca.avP ratio (which could receive the restrictions instead of calcium). The other nutrient is usually called something like analyzable calcium (or calcium lab) and would...

It is well known that the higher the static pressure, the faster the air will enter through an air inlet and therefore the greater the amount of air which will enter through the inlet. But how precisely does velocity change with pressure and similarly how does the amount of air entering through an inlet change with static pressure? To answer these questions, the performance of typical 44" X 7" (42.75" X 5.75" actual opening) and 44" X 14" (42" X 10.75" actual opening) galvanized door inlets...

In a negative pressure-ventilated poultry house, the amount of air entering through each side wall inlet depends primarily on the level of negative pressure generated by the house exhaust fans, the size of the inlet opening, and the air inlet design. The higher the static pressure, the faster the air will enter the house and...

A 54" tunnel fan with a 1.5-hp motor is running and consuming 1,700 watts of power. The belt suddenly breaks and the fan blades stop rotating, but the motor continues to spin. How much power do you believe the motor is now consuming? 1,700 watts? It is important to understand that the primary factor determining how much power a fan will use is how fast the motor is spinning the prop. The faster the prop spins, the greater the amount of work required, and the greater the amount of power used...

Though it may not seem like it, each one-foot section of a five-foot-tall, six-inch pad has a tremendous surface area... well over 300 square feet. As a result, a house with two 70' X 5' evaporative pad systems has over 42,000 square feet of pad surface area from which water can evaporate and cool the incoming air. When we look at a 70' X 5' pad system, we can only see the 350 square feet of surface area, not the over 21,000 square feet of (60 times) interior pad surface...

When building a new house or retrofitting an older one, tunnel fan selection is one of the most, if not the most important decision a producer has to make. A house’s fans are essentially the engine of the ventilation system and as a result have a significant effect on a producer’s ability to maintain the proper environmental conditions throughout the year. Furthermore, with rising electricity prices, selecting the right energy-efficient fan can save a producer thousands of...

1. Introduction The laying hen industry in the United States consists of approximately 330–340 million laying hens [1] that must first go through the growing phase known as the pullet phase. The pullet phase accounts for approximately 25% of a laying hen’s lifetime [2] and encompasses approximately 0–16 weeks of age (WOA). During this time, the pullet reaches sexual maturity and grows to its full skeletal capacity. Early experiences during the pullet phase,...

1. Introduction The increase in food demand driven by population growth, coupled with the reduction in the supply of raw materials owing to factors such as climate change, poses a significant challenge for the agricultural and livestock sectors. Among the different processes associated with egg production, the feeding of hens represents the largest source of environmental impact [1]. Nonetheless, the revaluation of agrifood by-products through their incorporation into animal diets...
