INTRODUCTION Major health problems of the poultry industry have certain effects on egg production. Especially, infectious diseases which may drop in egg production and egg quality by affecting the reproductive system directly and the health status of poultry indirectly (Clauer, 2009). Gallibacterium anatis (G. anatis) has been known to be a part of the normal microflora of the lower genital and upper respiratory tract (Bojesen et al., 2004; Jones et al., 2013; Lawal et...

INTRODUCTION Salmonella and Campylobacter continue to be pathogens of concern associated with poultry and poultry products, which raise a public health issue globally (Antunes et al., 2016). As per the foodborne illness source estimation reports for 2016, Salmonella and Campylobacter are responsible for about 18 and 64% of poultry-related foodborne illnesses in the United States, respectively (IFSAC, 2018). With the increasing episodes of illnesses because of these pathogens,...

INTRODUCTION Consumption of poultry meat has increased significantly in the United States and currently ranks as the highest consumed among meat species (National Chicken Council, 2020). With increasing chicken meat consumption, greater number of broilers are being raised and processed. Foodborne pathogens Salmonella and Campylobacter are commensals in broiler gastrointestinal tract and, in most cases, do not cause any disease in the birds. Current poultry processing system...

INTRODUCTION Substantial consumer pressure demonstrates that some practices adopted by the poultry industry should be revised as soon as possible, particularly those related to the management of debeaking methods. Pecking committed by dominant bird causes prolonged stress, decreased feed intake and worsening feed conversion, and may even affect internal and external egg quality (Vieira Filho, et al., 2016). Also, whole beak pullets waste and select feed grains, compromising...

INTRODUCTION In the last decade, Brazil has recorded a 10.56% increase in the number of poultry (broiler, turkey and quail) slaughtered in establishments registered under the “Serviço de Inspeção Federal” (SIF - Federal Inspection Service), increasing from 4,795,965,464 birds in 2010 to 5,302,510,470 birds in 2019 (MAPA 2020). This growth is the result of the competitive strength of poultry farming in the country, based on low production costs,...

INTRODUCTION Housing systems and mating strategies have become a global focus of concern as these are being referred one of the most cogent factors in overall performance of broiler parent stock (PS) in progressive poultry (Whitehead et al., 2016). Hence, now a days, the scientists are striving to probe the exact impact of keeping place of birds on their productive and reproductive performance. Despite of many advantages and disadvantages, two housing systems i.e., floor and...

Introduction Soybean meal (SBM) is the most important and preferred source of quality protein in animal feeds (Banaszkiewicz, 2011). Among the oil seeds, SBM contains the highest crude protein (CP) and has the best AA profile, with only 6% crude fibre (Dei, 2011). The AAs in SBM are highly digestible by poultry (Newkirk, 2010). Based on the CP content, SBM can generally be classified as high protein (47% - 50%), or low protein (44% - 46%). Popescu & Criste (2003) suggested...

Introduction The poultry industry is one of the most dynamic industries in world of agri-business, and feed is the backbone of this industry. But, with rising feed ingredients cost, making a good quality feed at low price has become a challenge for the poultry industry. To minimize the impact of rising prices of conventional feed ingredients, the other option is the use of unconventional raw materials. Many of these products contain high levels of plant cell wall...

High pressure sodium (HPS) lights have been used in broiler-breeder houses for decades due to their very high lumen output. The typical 150-watt HPS fixture produces approximately 16,000 lumens of light which is 16 times the amount of light produced by a 75-watt incandescent light bulb. The downside of HPS lighting systems is that in order to...

Does high humidity affect the performance of exhaust fans? Yes, but probably not as much as you think and not in the way you may believe. Most people believe that humid air is heavier than dry air. After all, humid air has more moisture in it and therefore should weigh more than air that contains less moisture. But, in actuality, humid air...

Though there is a wide range of opinions on the optimal drinking water temperature for young chicks, the fact is farm managers actually have a very limited ability to control the temperature of the water their chicks are drinking because, for all practical purposes, it is determined by house air temperature. If the air temperature is 90°F, the water will be around 90°F. If the air temperature is 80°F, the water temperature will be around 80°F, regardless of what temperature...

I. INTRODUCTION Mycotoxin-contaminated feeds are frequently reported to be more toxic for animals than their purified forms, indicating possible interactions with each other or with the micro-organisms in the animal’s gastrointestinal tract (JECFA, 2002) as bacteria (Galarza-Seeber et al, 2016). The gastrointestinal tract is the largest immune organ, where several immuno-regulatory mechanisms simultaneously defend the body (Belkaid & Hand, 2014). Yet, it is also home...

Infectious laryngotracheitis (ILT), caused by Gallid herpesvirus type 1, is a highly contagious upper respiratory and conjunctival disease of poultry. The virus (ILTV) is thought to exit the host in respiratory aerosols and enter by inhalation of these. High levels of ILTV DNA have been detected in excreta, dust, blood or plasma and in various organs outside the respiratory tract; raising the possibility of alternative routes of shedding from the host. However, it is not known whether the...
