Introduction Exosomes are membrane vesicles, approximately 40–100 nm in diameter, and present in most biological fuids [1–3]. Exosomes are derived from multivesicular bodies (MVBs) to form intraluminal vesicles (ILVs), which are then released into the extracellular environment as exosomes after fusion with the plasma membrane [3]. Lipids and proteins are the main components of exosomes and various nucleic acids, such as mRNAs, microRNAs (miRNAs), and other...

Poultry feed contains major ingredient i.e., soybean meal as the principal source of protein. Soybean meal is the dominant protein supplement used in poultry diets & also has an excellent amino acid profile the primary protein source in poultry diets. In recent years most producers are looking for alternate protein sources of soybean due to skyrocketing of the commodity. There are some alternative protein sources which have been used by poultry/feed producers as a...

Barley ranks fourth in global cereal production after corn, wheat and rice. About 65% of the world’s barley produced is fed to animals, including poultry. Australia is a significant global producer of barley, ranking in the top 5 countries with about 5% of global production and is among the top 3 barley exporters accounting for about 30% of malt and 20% of feed barley trade. Australia is a reliable supplier of two-row spring barley that is suitable for a wide range of malting, brewing...

Calculating a proper stocking density will determine the maximum farm profitability in broiler chickens. Choosing the stocking density implies knowing the impacts on live performance, and its interrelations with the environment and dietary nutrients. Abundant studies about stocking density run under non-commercial conditions might not indicate the best reliable information to know the farm profitability. As a result, few studies are reliable for commercial purposes. Poultry managers should...

INTRODUCTION The genetic improvement of modern broiler lines has contributed to the success of the poultry industry worldwide. Since the 1950s, slaughter age has been reduced by approximately 40%, and slaughter weight has more than doubled. Current lines have been genetically improved with focus on rapid growth and maximum performance based on continuous improvement of feed conversion. Embryonic development (ED) accounts nowadays for more than 33% of the whole life period of...

1. Introduction Contamination of cereal grains and their byproducts by mycotoxins is a worldwide problem negatively affecting poultry production [1]. Two Fusarium mycotoxins which are among the most toxic and frequent feed contaminants are the trichothecene deoxynivalenol (DON) and fumonisins (FUM). DON is produced as a secondary metabolite by Fusarium graminearum and Fusarium culmorum, whereas FUM are secondary metabolites which are mainly produced by Fusarium verticillioides...

INTRODUCTION Coccidiosis presently proves to be a major and pressing protozoan disease in the poultry industry worldwide (Dalloul and Lillehoj, 2006). Coccidiosis is caused by a protozoan parasite from the genus Eimeria. The life cycle of coccidial parasites includes asexual and sexual replication stages and begins when a bird ingests sporulated oocysts from the environment, as described by Conway and McKenzie (2007). After ingestion, four sporocysts contained in a...

INTRODUCTION The feed conversion ratio (FCR) is, in addition to the cost of the feed, the most influential variable in the cost structure of poultry production 1,2 and consequently, drives the economic efficiency of poultry operations. As a result, the FCR represents an important response variable in nutrition experiments, irrespective of whether or not they are complex, as metabolism studies 3,4 , or as simple as the experiments that are usually conducted to...

Heat Stress in Laying Hens Heat stress is one of the primary concerns for laying hen production in the summer as heat waves may significantly increase flock mortality and reduce egg production in hen houses. The use of mechanical ventilation and cooling cells are popular cooling methods used in the southern US, including Georgia. However, most of the layer farms in the US Midwest (where over 50% of US table eggs are produced) do not have evaporative cooling systems due primarily...

INTRODUCTION For feed chain stakeholders in an increasingly competitive marketplace, the bottom line can rise or fall with the contaminant levels in grain and other raw materials. The repercussions of feedstuffs that fail to meet the highest safety and quality standards can spread across the entire value chain, jeopardizing livestock health and the reputation and economic performance of multiple businesses and entire growing regions. Ultimately, toxic contaminants that slip...

INTRODUCTION As we learn more about the negative impacts of calcium (Ca) on the availability of phosphorus (P), it highlights how little we know about Ca requirements, digestibility of Ca in ingredients, and their impact on P digestibility (Angel, 2019). These impacts can be direct or indirect through chelation with phytate, which can have a profound impact on the efficacy of phytase. Historically the ratio of Ca to P has been defined as total Ca to total P or total Ca to a form...

Foodborne diseases & global scenario: Up to 30% of the inhabitants in developed countries may be affected by food-borne illness each year and the problems are likely to be even more serious in developing countries. The global occurrence of food-borne disease is difficult to evaluate, but in 2005 it was projected that 22 lakhs people, including 18 lakhs children, died from diarrheal diseases(WHO,2015). Microbiological hazards represent 93% of the incidents of food-borne...

A sneaky microorganism capable of creating nightmares to the poultry industry is here to stay but is it really taking over? It is amazing to see how many available options are in the market for Salmonella control. During the last IPPE Expo, I had an opportunity to chat with various nutritional and biological products suppliers and learn from them how an integrated control strategy is required for Salmonella control in poultry. Selecting the right products is only part of it; monitoring...

Respiratory problems are considered one of the most important challenges in poultry farming, with a significant economic and productive impact, not just because of their high morbidity and mortality, but also because of the decrease production and higher seized materials in the slaughterhouse they cause. Furthermore, main reasons for the use of antimicrobials in aviculture are related to respiratory and digestive diseases. ...
