1. Introduction Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a phenomenon where microorganisms develop resistance to specific antimicrobial agents, posing serious health risks [1]. According to conservative estimates, AMR is projected to be responsible for 10 million deaths annually by 2050 [2]. Currently, the European Union (EU) reports that over 670,000 infections are linked to AMR each year, resulting in nearly 33,000 deaths directly attributable to confirmed resistance [3]. Poultry...

1. Introduction Antimicrobials have revolutionized modern medicine by enabling effective treatments for many life-threatening diseases and saving countless lives. However, the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) among pathogens has become a global health issue affecting humans, animals, and environment [1]. Recognizing AMR as a critical challenge, the World Health Organization (WHO) has emphasized the urgent need for concerted efforts to combat this growing threat...

1. Introduction Avian Reovirus (ARV) poses a significant threat to the poultry industry, infecting both domestic and wild avian species. ARV infections manifest in a diverse range of clinical signs, encompassing tenosynovitis/arthritis, immunosuppression, enteric disease, hepatitis, myocarditis, malabsorption, and runting–stunting syndrome [1,2]. While domestic avian species are generally susceptible to ARV, meat-type chickens and turkeys [3,4] are, however, more susceptible to...

I. INTRODUCTION Chicken meat and egg production has been on the increase in all continents with the highest increases in Asia and South America (Mandal, 2010). High temperatures coupled with high humidity impose severe stress on birds and can cause huge economic loss. Such loss is due to reduced performance, immune suppression, and an increase in respiratory disease and mortality (Mandal, 2010). Exposure of chickens to high temperature also increases the induction of heat shock...

I. INTRODUCTION Bacillus-based probiotics have gained increased attention as alternatives to antibiotic growth promoters (AGP) to support broiler performance in systems aiming to reduce the use of antibiotics and maintain gut health and function. Combatting poor gut health and disease susceptibility in an era without antibiotics has been made increasingly difficult due to the increasing cost of commercial feed ingredients. This has forced some producers to use cheaper dietary...

I. INTRODUCTION Egg-associated Salmonella infection is a significant international public health problem. Internal contamination of eggs with S. Enteritidis has been the principal concern in North America and Europe, whereas external contamination with S. Typhimurium has been the predominant issue in Australia. Some strategies for controlling egg-borne Salmonella are designed to act with precision against epidemiologically important serovars, but others are applicable...

I. INTRODUCTION With the current genetic focus being on longer laying cycles, there is a need to look for new ways of improving calcium metabolism in laying birds which are prone to osteoporosis in the latter stages of lay (Bain et al, 2016). Calcium pidolate (a highly soluble, absorbable salt with excellent gastrointestinal tolerance) has been around for 10-15 years in the commercial sector of the egg industry. Existing evidence suggests that this supplement has beneficial effects...

I. INTRODUCTION Spotty Liver Disease (SLD) is characterized by the occurrence of multiple grey/white spots in the liver. It causes mortalities and reduction in egg output and is prevalent within the layer industry in Australia, especially within the free range sector of the industry (Grimes & Reece, 2011). The disease is less commonly found in barn and cage birds and parent stock (Scott, 2016). The recent identification of Campylobacter hepaticus, as the causative agent...

I. INTRODUCTION Supplementation of amino acids to reduce feather pecking behaviour and improve plumage condition has been previously studied and found to be successful (Savory, 1998, van Hierden et al., 2004). Feather eating behaviour performed by feather pecking birds suggests that feathers (predominately composed of keratin protein) may be consumed as an alternative source of amino acids, if digested. Methionine is an essential amino acid required for egg production and...

Corn remains the primary energy source in poultry diets. However, not all corn delivers equal nutritional value. Poor grain quality can significantly reduce its Metabolizable Energy (ME) for poultry, affecting both bird performance and production cost. Energy Loss Equation in Poultry Due to Poor-Quality Corn Barbarino and Rostagno (2001) developed an equation to estimate the Metabolizable Energy Lost (MEL) in poultry feed based on corn...

Dysbacteriosis, an imbalance in gut microbiota, impairs nutrient absorption and growth in broilers. Severe cases can cause wet litter and high mortality. AGPs have long been used to enhance gut health and performance, but their prolonged use raises concerns over antimicrobial resistance in birds and humans. Removing AGPs from broiler diets has reduced performance and increased gastrointestinal tract (GIT) diseases. To mitigate the impact of AGP-free diets on broiler performance, various...

1. Introduction Factors such as investments in breeding facilities and the adoption of advanced technologies have been decisive in consolidating Brazil’s global leadership in broiler chicken exports [1]. Among the available structural typologies, the “dark house” stands out as an intensive production system, equipped with automated systems that control variables such as temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, and light intensity. The precise control of these...
