1. Introduction Nutrition plays a pivotal role in maintaining the health of pullets, quality egg production by laying hens and body growth of broilers (Wang et al. 2017). Nutraceuticals are the nutrients or constituents of animal diet that have nutritional and pharmaceutical importance by preventing various diseases, possessing immunomodulatory potential, providing health benefits and consequently increasing productivity (Dhama et al. 2015; Aronson 2017; Helal et al. 2019;...

INTRODUCTION Poultry needs protein for growth, egg production, immunity, enzymatic activity, tissue turnover, and much more (Beski et al., 2015). Similar to other essential amino acids ( AA ), supplemental branched-chain amino acids ( BCAA ) such as isoleucine and valine allow for a reduction in the crude protein ( CP ) in the diet, whereas leucine is generally found in higher amounts in the cornbased diet (NRC, 1994; Waldroup et al., 2002). A low CP diet...

Congratulations to the authors for this very interesting comparison. It's important to realize, though, that comparing field results between different periods of the year (like in this case summer vs winter) is subject to potentially large error if there exists seasonality along the year. Exploring results from previous years allow to evaluate if this is an important factor to be accounted for. ...

INTRODUCTION During the last decade, the decrease in sequencing costs coupled with innovations in computational technologies (1) has remarkably advanced our understanding of the composition and function of microbial communities residing in diverse environments (2). Accordingly, the roles of microbiota in health and diseases have been well-documented in wide range of animals, yet limited microbiota studies have been conducted so far in turkeys. One study investigated the...

Introduction The term phytogenic compounds refer to the utilised parts (e.g. fruits, seeds, bark, roots and leaves) of various aromatic herbs and spices notably thyme, black cumin, anise, chicory, garlic, Moringa oleifera, rosemary, mustard, oregano and pepper (Abd El-Hack & Alagawany, 2015; Alagawany & Abd El-Hack, 2015; Abd El-Hack et al., 2016a). Aromatic plants and their essential oils are widely used for their antimicrobial action and stimulating effects on animal...

INTRODUCTION Salmonella has been linked to numerous foodborne illnesses from consumption of poultry products. The FoodNet preliminary data for 2016-2019 identified 25,866 infections, 6,164 hospitalizations and 122 deaths due to foodborne illnesses in United States of which Salmonella contribute about 17.1% of total foodborne infections (Tack et al., 2020; Vaddu et al., 2020). They also reported 5 most common Salmonella serotypes in the US - Enteritidis, Typhimurium, Newport,...

Fusarium toxins are one of the most common contaminants in poultry diets. Co-occurrence of fumonisins (FUM) and deoxynivalenol (DON), even at a subclinical dose, negatively affects the production performance and intestinal integrity in broiler chickens. Loss of gut integrity can be expected to alter the intestinal microbiota composition. This study evaluated the effects of subclinical doses of combined mycotoxins on the cecal microbiota composition and diversity in broiler chickens. Broiler...

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has become a serious problem in poultry farms that can threaten both poultry and human health. An increasing number of studies have been conducted on exploring antimicrobial alternative such as essential oils (EO). The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of encapsulated EO including cinnamaldehyde (CIN) and citral (CIT) alone or in combination (CIN+CIT) on growth performance, meat quality, gut health, and AMR phenotypes, genotypes, and virulence...

1. Introduction The permeability of the intestinal tract controls the uptake of nutrients and the transport of unwanted extracellular substances such as bacteria and xenobiotics, in addition to the non-digested substances. Therefore, gut health plays an essential role in the pathogenesis of various intestinal disorders. The permeability of the intestine is controlled by gut microbiota, digestive secretions, physical barriers (mucin, intestinal epithelial cells lining and tight...

INTRODUCTION Chicken domestication started with red junglefowl (Gallus gallus; ALBINO & TAVERNARI 2010) and is native to multiple regions in Southeast Asia (HATA et al. 2021). These birds were first used as fighting animals or in rituals. Then, breeding the species began to be treated as an economical activity to generate profit from the production of meat and eggs (NÚÑEZ-LEON et al. 2019, RUBIN et al. 2010). During this period, animal welfare...

Drinking water is one of the transmission methods of Avian Influenza (AI). Water sources can be contaminated by infected materials and transmitted to poultry farms. The risk of the chicken being exposed to the virus via water is high. When AI hit the poultry industry in the US in 2015, water samples were tested positive for the virus. Taking samples from poultry drinking water lines is an efficient way to conduct avian influenza surveillance. Water treatment is an important control strategy...

High stocking density and environmental factors such as acute heat stress, health challenges, bacterial or viral exposure, and mycotoxin-contaminated diets may cause serious stress of laying in modern intensive egg production systems. Laying hens under immunological stress are susceptible to pathogen infection due to an imbalance in immune response and cecal microbiota. Laying hens that are raised under the conditions of intensive farming and high stocking densities are exposed to...
