Yosef Huberman (CONICET-INTA) talks about pathogenicity in E. coli strains and how the approach in analysis has changed to genotyping and sequencing, in this Engormix interview during IPPE 2024 in Atlanta, USA....
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...

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...
Vivek Kuttappan (Cargill) speaks on the use of technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning to measure gut microbiome maturation and improve gut health, in this interview during IPPE 2024 in Atlanta, USA....
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...
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...
Lieske van Eck (Cargill) talks about a tool developed to measure body fat level in laying hens and how it helps in the decision-making process to get better egg persistency and better egg production, in this interview during IPPE 2024 in Atlanta, USA....
Evan Chaney (Cargill) Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) cause colibacillosis in poultry operations resulting in significant flock health and economic burden, creating the need for additional solutions to promote resiliency against infection. This study evaluated a postbiotic feed additive containing a saponin ingredient (SCFP+; Dia-V™ PT PLUS prototype, Diamond V, Cedar Rapids, IA), alone or in combination with...

Héctor Leyva-Jiménez (United Animal Health) Broiler chickens from commercial rearing facilities are subjected to a variety of stressors that increase disease susceptibility and reduce growth. Direct-fed microbials (DFM) can be employed to introduce beneficial bacteria to the digestive tract of poultry and through diverse mechanisms boost performance. The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of supplementing broiler diets...
Héctor Leyva-Jiménez (United Animal Health) talks about a technology to process pathogen profiles to identify coinfections and help make better decisions on the farm, in this interview during IPPE 2024 in Atlanta, USA....
Vijay Durairaj (Huvepharma) Turkey coccidiosis is caused by Eimeria species. Seven Eimeria species are recognized in turkeys of which three are considered highly pathogenic and predominant. Objective: The objective of this presentation is to provide an overview of the pathological lesions of turkey coccidiosis for field vets, techs, supervisors, and turkey growers. Application of advanced molecular diagnostic tools, such as PCR and...
Cristiano Bortoluzzi (dsm-firmenich) The objective of the present studies was to evaluate: (1) the impact of the supplementation with a Precision Biotic (PB) on the modulation of the cecal microbiome collected from broiler chickens submitted to a necrotic enteritis challenge model (Experiment 1); (2) to measure the cecal production of shorth-chain fatty acids (SCFA; Exp. 2). In Exp. 1, day-old chicks were placed on a completely randomized block design...
