  • Effect of Sub-Clinical Mycotoxin Exposure on Growth Performance and Immune Response in Eimeria-Challenged Pullets
Deependra Paneru (University of Georgia)      An experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of subclinical mycotoxin exposure on the growth performance and immune cell dynamics in pullets exposed to coccidiosis. Using a 2x2 factorial design, a total of 288 four-week-old Hy-Line W36 pullets were randomly allocated to four treatment groups, each containing six replicated cages with 12 birds. The experimental groups were exposed to either...

  • Sensing and informatics for non-destructive grading of hatching eggs towards next generation hatchery practices
Alin Khaliduzzaman (University of Illinois Urbana Champaign)      Some of the continents and countries might suffer severe food shortage in the next few decades due to climate changes, global unrest, and economic instability. Therefore, we need major technological advancement for egg and poultry production industry to deal with global animal food security and poultry welfare issues. The current hatchery practices, post-hatch grading of day-old chicks,...

  • Productive energy (Arkansas Net Energy) is more sensitive than classic net energy to performance and actual net energy fractions
Diego Martínez (University of Arkansas)       An energy system is needed to optimize feed formulation and influence economics and sustainability. This study assessed the sensitivity of productive energy (PE) and classic net energy (CNE) to BW gain (BWG), feed conversion ratio (FCR), and net energy for gain (NEg) and maintenance (NEm), and developed models to predict BWG, FCR, and protein accretion (PAC). 1920 chicks in 96 pens were assigned to one...

  • Effects of superdoses of phytase on peaking Hy-Line W-36 laying hen egg production and egg quality
John Boney (Pennsylvania State University)      New generations of feed enzymes are included to enhance nutrient utilization. This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of a new generation phytase, HiPhorius (HP), and protease, ProAct 360, when fed to peaking hens. Dietary treatments included Positive Control (PC), Negative Control 1 (NC1) at 0.15% nPP, NC1+600 FYT/kg HP, NC1+900 FYT/kg HP, Negative Control 2 (NC2) with a 2% crude protein (CP)...

  • Evaluation of aragonite as a calcium source in laying hen diets
Mike Persia (Virginia Tech)       Experiments were conducted to determine the bioavailability of fine ground aragonite (FGA) using 0-14 d old broilers and to determine the use of FGA on performance, eggshell quality, and tibia ash (TA) of laying hens from 28-56 wks. In experiment 1, 450 as hatched Ross 708 broilers were fed a basal diet without either LS or FGA containing 0.35% Ca and LS and FGA additions resulting in 0.43, 0.51, 0.59, and 0.67% Ca. Body...

  • KOH protein solubility and trypsin inhibitor analyses are needed to determine soybean meal quality
Nelson Ruiz (Nelson Ruiz Nutrition LLC)     A set of 24 solvent extracted commercial soybean meal (CSBM) samples, which corresponded to the same lots of CSBM used in the field, were evaluated. The CSBM were from different origins (Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, Trinidad & Tobago, U.S.). The objective herein was to evaluate the relationship between KOH protein solubility (KOHPS, a measurement of overprocessing) and trypsin inhibitor activity (TIA, a...

  • Effect of saponins from Yucca and Quillaja, added alone or incombination on production performance and ammonia emissions
Megan Koppen (Cargill)      Yucca schidgera (steroidal) and Quillaja saponaria (triterpenoid) are two saponins available for commercial feed use in the poultry industry. Though their targeted effects tend to overlap, notable differences in their chemical make-up, structural complexity and mechanistic action exist. While saponins are known to reduce ammonia emissions in livestock, direct saponin source comparisons are scarcely found in literature. The...

  • Effect of phytogenic feed additives on live performance and meat quality of older broilers
Megan Koppen (Cargill)       Challenges and demand in the poultry industry paired with volatile feed ingredient costs and varying meat prices continue to persist. Thus, focusing on value-add feed additive selection is vital, especially with birds reared longer. Phytogenic feed additives have shown to improve nutrient digestion and utilization as well as meat quality properties. Based on several digestibility studies, Delacon developed nutritional matrix...
