Necrotic Enteritis in the Post-AGP Era: A Complex Multifactorial Challenge
The restriction on antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) in the broiler industry has led to a significant resurgence of enteric diseases, particularly necrotic enteritis (NE). This complex disease, estimated to cost the global industry USD 6 billion annually, requires a deeper understanding to develop effective control strategies. A recent review by Shahna Fathima, Walid Ghazi Al Hakeem, Revathi...

The use of feed enzymes in monogastric nutrition has been a cornerstone of feed efficiency and environmental management for decades. However, a recent analysis suggests that the industry's long-held "scientific dogma" may be limiting the full potential of these additives. In an article on AB Vista's website titled "Enzymes through the ages: rethinking their use in animal nutrition," Mike Bedford (AB Vista) argues that the industry's focus on simple, measurable outcomes has created a...

Mycotoxins are known to decrease health and performance in poultry production. Their modes of action, such as reducing protein synthesis and promoting oxidative stress and apoptosis, lead to cell destruction and lower cell replacement, affecting several organs and tissues. When different stress factors collude, such as high temperatures and humidity, poor ventilation, high stocking density, and management events, the effects of in-feed mycotoxins can reach a higher level, which may...

Introduction Within livestock production, feed accounts for 65 to 70 % of the total cost of production; however, despite constant efforts to achieve the safety of food intended for animal production, there are still factors that diminish its quality, such as biological pathogens (such as Salmonella spp., E. coli, Listeria spp., Campylobacter spp.), chemical substances (fungicides, herbicides, and insecticides), and presence of fungi (Fusarium, Penicillium, Mucor etc.)(1). Fungal...

As the global egg industry moves steadily toward cage-free production, ensuring a successful transition from rearing to laying is more critical than ever. Hy-Line pullets raised in environments that prepare them for the complexities of cage-free layer systems are far more likely to meet their full genetic...

In the rearing aviary, day-old chicks must have easy access to feed and water. The environment should offer an optimal temperature, appropriate lighting, and good ventilation. These conditions ensure that the chicks grow well, and their fluff transforms into well-developed feathers. As the chicks...

1. Introduction The production of black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens, BSFL) has been established globally in recent years. Advancements in production and processing technology have facilitated the large-scale rearing of BSFL, which can be attributed to the insect’s affinity to thrive in a wide array of organic substances [1]. These can include by-products from grain, oil seed and food processing, food waste and by-products from animal processing, and even manure...

I. INTRODUCTION The laying hen has a considerable requirement for dietary calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) to support optimum egg production, egg quality and other physiological processes. In particular, a high intake of Ca ranging from 4 to 4.5% of the diet is considered important as the laying cycle progresses from early to late lay to achieve optimum egg number and egg shell quality. A capacity for birds to increase Ca intake from a separate Ca source as dietary Ca levels diminish...

I. INTRODUCTION Contamination of eggshells by Salmonella Typhimurium is a major public health and food safety issue to the Australian poultry industry. In Australia, the majority of the egg and egg related foodborne outbreaks are caused by S. Typhimurium (The OzFoodNet Working group 2015). Biofilm formation is one of the survival mechanisms utilised by Salmonella spp. against physical and chemical stress factors in the environment (Steenackers et al. 2012). A biofilm is a...

I. INTRODUCTION It has been shown that FP occurs in all housing systems, from conventional cages, to barn and free range systems (Green et al., 2000). However, there is a lack of data available on the true prevalence of FP in commercial free-range layer farms in Australia. In a survey in the UK, 65% of flocks showed FP during lay as reported by free-range farmers but, when the same flocks were assessed by researchers, prevalence reached 89% and 69% at 25 weeks, and 73% and 86% at 40...

I. INTRODUCTION The basis for effective control of Salmonella infections in poultry production is good farm management and hygienic practices as well as testing and elimination of positive flocks in some countries. While many different measures have been recommended in meat chicken farms, vaccination with live-attenuated vaccines is likely to have a central role in the reduction of Salmonella in commercial operations by increasing the passive immunity of birds and...

I. INTRODUCTION The Australian commercial chicken industry is experiencing major changes; a significant proportion of both meat and layer farm types are becoming free range and this is driven by consumer demand (ACMF 2011; AECL 2015). Amongst industry experts, there is concern the risk of disease introduction and spread in Australian commercial chicken farms will be raised from the increased potential of interactions between wildlife and commercial chickens on free range farms (Scott...

I. INTRODUCTION Necrotic enteritis (NE) is of great concern to the poultry industry due to its deteriorating impact on production and increasing mortality, resulting in a US$6 billion global economic loss (Wade and Keyburn, 2015). The causative agent of NE is Clostridium perfringens, a gram-positive spore-forming anaerobic bacterium. The subclinical form of NE is financially more devastating than the clinical form. This is due to a lack of obvious symptoms resulting in a delayed...
