Something to consider. If we preheated and ventilated a house long enough prior to chick arrival, the need for a litter treatment would be drastically reduced, if not possibly eliminated. Litter treatments are used primarily because the cost of preheating and ventilating a house long enough prior to chick arrival to remove excess moisture...

In 2021 mycotoxins semiannual survey, Life Rainbow Biotech randomly collected 230 feed samples of raw materials and feed mills in farms and analyzed. The samples were tested for Aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1, and G2), Zearalenone, Fumonisins (B1, B2, and B3) and Deoxynivalenol (DON) by the ELISA Mycotoxin analysis kit. Results: 230 feed samples collected, and 78% were contaminated with deoxynivalenol and 86% contaminated with Aflatoxins (table 1). The maximum concentrations of...

Windrowing has become a very popular method of managing litter between flocks. In order to get the most benefit out of windrowing, the litter needs to be relatively damp. How damp? Ideally, the litter moisture content would be between 25 and 35%. At this level of litter moisture, when you grab a handful of litter and squeeze it, it would...

The level of ammonia young chicks will be exposed to during the first week of their lives is determined to a large extent by what was done to the litter between the flocks. Towards the end of a flock, the birds are adding thousands of gallons of water to a house each day. During cold weather, reduced ventilation...

Though broilers often appear to be evenly distributed throughout a house, more times than not our eyes are deceiving us. Figures 1 and 2 are of the tunnel fan and tunnel inlet ends of a 50' X 600' broiler house with 20-day-old birds. At first glance bird density appears fairly uniform but when examined closely, it becomes apparent that there are more birds near the tunnel doors (far right of Figure 2) than in any other area of the house. The question are, of course, is this...

Chicken eggs for human consumption are exceedingly nutritious, palatable, reasonable priced, and commonly accessible around the world. There is an increasing demand for enriched and functional foods for human consumption that provide various beneficial effects in addition to the nutritive and non-nutritive compounds important to human health 1 . Eggs can be enriched with certain nutrients through dietary manipulation to create speciality or functional food products that provide...

A study was conducted to investigate the hypothesis that over-processing (OP) of meat and bone meal (MBM) exacerbates infection with necrotic enteritis in normal and high phytase diets. A total of 768 Ross 308 male chicks were randomly assigned to 8 treatments with 6 replicate floor pens each housing 16 chicks using a 2 × 2 × 2 factorial arrangement of treatments for 42 d. Factors were: NE challenge, no or yes; phytase* level, 500 or 5000 FTU/kg (both using 500 matrix values for...

A feeding study was conducted to examine the efficacy of a synergistic blend of feed additives on growth performance, livability, gut integrity, immunity, caecal microflora and footpad health in broilers challenged with subclinical necrotic enteritis (NE). Additives were: A) synergistic blend of medium chain fatty acids (MCFA), slow-release C12, target release butyrates, organic acids (OA) and a phenolic compound; B) synergistic blend of partly buffered OA with MCFA; C) synergistic blend of...

Probiotics are showing promise as antibiotic replacements but more scientific evidence is required to validate their beneficial effects. Previous broiler feed trials conducted with Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain H57 (H57) indicated variable bird performance (Bajagai, 2018). In these trials, birds were kept under “optimal” experimental conditions, where most of stressors were absent from the environment. There is some evidence that probiotics are best applied when a bird or...

Introduction The poultry industry has been able to develop high-level technologies in these more than one hundred years of existence, reaching high zootechnical results. These advances have been obtained through a lot of financial investment in ambience, making the handling work more efficient. However, to offset this economic contribution, the producers were taken to increase the population density in aviary, mainly broiler chickens, currently one of the most discussed and...
