Biosafety is a set of health measures established to prevent the entry and exit of pathogens that can endanger the health and welfare of farm animals, and therefore human health. Biosafety is even more important when we talk about zoonoses, such as Salmonella. We need to...

Introduction Eucalyptus is a medicinal plant that belongs to Myrtaceae family, originated in Australia but found worldwide, especially in tropical and subtropical regions (Salari et al., 2006). In humans, eucalyptus leaf is used to reduce nasal congestion in common cold during cold winter months (Sadlon and Lamson, 2010). Eucalyptol (1,8-cineole) is a terpene oxide and major constituent (more than 70%) of eucalyptus essential oil (EEO), which is used as a flavoring agent in food...

For a long time antibiotics have been used in poultry and egg production but there is considerable consumer/regulatory pressure, price pressure and technical reasons why the administration of antibiotics on a routine basis needs to be phased out of these production systems. The development of resistance in target and non-target organisms is just one reason. For exporting companies we may see trade barriers erected to products that have been produced with antibiotics to prevent spread...

INTRODUCTION According to the World Health Organization, Campylobacter is a leading cause of the diarrheal disease (World Health Organization [WHO], 2018). The genus Campylobacter is comprised of over 20 species. Strains of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli are generally considered some of the more significant concerns among foodborne pathogens for human health (Korczak et al., 2006; Havelaar et al., 2012; World Health Organization [WHO], 2018; Centers for Disease...

INTRODUCTION The poultry gastrointestinal tract (GIT) is home to a complex, dynamic, and variable bacterial-dominated microbiota (Zhu et al., 2002). This GIT microbiome variation may be explained by different host characteristics and environmental factors (Kers et al., 2018), including birds age (Ballou et al., 2016; Pedroso et al., 2016), sex (Torok et al., 2013; Zhao et al., 2013), type and breed (Videnska et al., 2014; Kim et al., 2015), and GIT regions (Yeoman et al., 2012)....

1. Introduction The consumption of poultry meat has shown an increase from 2016 (116,845.36 thousand metric ton) to 2018 (120,884.63 thousand metric ton) [1]. Moreover, during the period 2020–2029, global livestock production is expected to expand by 14%, poultry remaining the fastest growing meat accounting for about half of the projected increase in total meat output, while world population is expected to grow only by ca 1% per year [1]. The goal of the poultry...

A study was conducted to determine the effects of crude protein (CP) reduction with amino acid (AA) balanced diets on growth, carcass yields, litter characteristics, and ecological footprint of feeds in mixed-sex broilers. A total of 2,688 Cobb MV × 500 FF broilers were allotted to 4 treatments (14 replicates of 48 birds per pen) from 11 to 36 d of age reared in an open-sided barn. Dietary treatments included: 1) Control diet (C) with DL-Met+L-Lys+L-Thr, 2) C+L-Val 3) C+L-Val+L-Ile and...

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM In the United States, foodborne nontyphoidal salmonellosis affects approximately one million individuals, results in 378 deaths and costs approximately $3.3 billion USD annually (Scallan et al., 2011). Most of these infections are associated with animal meat and product consumption, with poultry or poultry products being the major source (Marin and Lainez, 2009). Therefore, eradication of Salmonella in the production cycle of poultry and in processing...

1. Introduction Poultry and mycotoxins have been closely linked for several decades, as they are one of the most sensitive animal species to the toxic effects of mycotoxins. In the poultry industry, the ingestion of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) lead to the impairment of all the essential productive parameters [1,2] and decreased resistance to common infectious diseases due to the depression of the humoral and cellular immune responses [3,4], resulting in substantial annual economic...

INTRODUCTION The integrity of the gut is fundamental in birds as the mechanisms of digestion and absorption are inherent in the physiological metabolism of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and cannot be manipulated 1 . Numerous infectious and non-infectious agents can damage intestinal mucosa, as well as compromise digestion and absorption 2 . Among them, coccidia infections represent one of the most important enteric diseases. Coccidiosis is an infectious...

INTRODUCTION Necrotic enteritis (NE) is an enteric bacterial disease in chickens that is caused by Clostridium perfringens type G infection. Avian NE has gained much attention recently in the post antibiotic/anticoccidial agents' era as this infection has resulted in huge economic losses of 2 to 6 billion US dollars in the global poultry industry (Lee et al., 2020). Furthermore, the recently discovered NE B-like (NetB) toxin secreted by C. perfringens type G has been...

INTRODUCTION Met is the first-limiting amino acid in corn-soybean based diet of poultry and plays an important role for growth, and egg production, but excess Met supplementation can be toxic for poultry. Besides carcass yield and quality, feather growth is especially important economic trait for meat duck production. Optimum feathering is considered crucial in modern broiler production due to demands for high standards of carcass quality (Lopez-Coello, 2003). Poor feathering...
