Hello to all The relationship between calcium and phosphorus and the relationship between these two elements with the actions of the bird's physiology and other elements with the inhibitory effects with the climatic conditions for the absorption of these elements were not discussed. Because the permitted level of use of these elements is with the dynamic power and requirement of the bird without having any harmful or inhibiting actions and ultimately the effect is on the performance of...

INTRODUCTION Campylobacter jejuni (CJ) is a Gram-negative commensal pathogen prevalent in the intestinal tract of chickens and other animals. Human infection is characterized by inflammatory bowel response, followed by bloody diarrhea and painful symptoms to the affected people and pets. In addition, Guillain-Barre syndrome can be a secondary sequelae, characterized by a potential fatal autoimmune disorder in humans (Crofts et al., 2018). Moreover, CJ multidrug resistance to...
Thanks for the good discussion. I suggest also lowering the antinutritional and allergenics by changing part of the protein source Soybean meal for SPC Soybean Protein Concentrate. This will challenge the gut development less and also increase the whole feed digestibility. Currently, when the Microbiota is becoming in evidence, modulating its patterns to better diversity and consequently higher performance, seems to be a proper strategy. ...
For birds laying in battery cages the best approach is to decongest number of birds per cell. From 4 or 5 to 2. So that they can have space to flap their wings. The hot period is about 8 weeks. Then have Holden pens to drop the birds outside the battery cages in deep litters. Try to program the birds to start laying two weeks before the end of heat zones. So that they can peak just immediately after the hot period. Then you can reduce mortality of heat and laying stress and have prolonged...
1. Introduction In intensive broiler production, the objective is to obtain high-performance productivity at a low cost. To accomplish production goals and satisfy the increased demand for poultry meat worldwide, intense genetic selection, health, management, and nutrition programs have emerged (Peralta et al., 2016). As a major development priority for nutrition, researchers are looking for natural additives to replace antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs). The AGPs were banned since...
INTRODUCTION Aflatoxin Testing in Changing Times: The Context at a Glance As toxic contaminants of very high concern, aflatoxins stand out as a key area of focus in today’s food safety testing arena. The issues surrounding the rising importance of accurate, defensible aflatoxin test results are numerous and complex. Chief among them are a growing public awareness of the health and economic implications of foodborne toxins, the increasing globalization of the...
1. Introduction Campylobacter is a virulent Gram-negative bacterial genus mainly found in the intestines of poultry [1], dogs, and cats [2]. These pathogens can cause bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramps, nausea, and vomiting. In more complex cases, they can cause Guillain–Barré syndrome and death [3]. Since its first recognition, several pathogenic species of Campylobacter that cause human campylobacteriosis have been cataloged using phylogenetic tools...

1. Introduction Marek’s disease virus (MDV) is an oncogenic and highly contagious alpha herpesvirus in chickens [1]. This virus is considered a major global challenge in the poultry industry and is estimated to cause annual losses of approximately USD 1–2 billion [2]. Protective vaccines against Marek’s disease (MD) have been widely used since 1969 [3]. Due to the evolution of viral strains selecting for higher virulence, the need to develop vaccines with...
1 Introduction Brazil’s food production is among the largest in the world. Poultry production ranks first globally among all the animal species used for food production. Brazil is one of the world’s leading chicken producers and exporters, while the state of Parana is the largest chicken meat producer and exporter in Brazil, representing more than 40% of Brazilian exports. The Brazilian Animal Protein Association (ABPA) reported that Brazilian chicken meat exports,...

The demand for functional foods has surged in recent decades and is projected to continue growing due to their potential to mitigate the risk of certain diseases. Eggs, recognized for their excellent nutritional value and health benefits, fall into this category. The widespread production and consumption...
APIs MARKET The market economy's fundamental principle is that the supply and demand imbalance drives price fluctuations. Catalyzed by the environmental protection inspections and the mask incident, the mainstream manufacturers gradually discovered that limiting production (now mainly covered up by equipment maintenance) is a proven effective and tried-and-tested method to cope with excess capacity and swaying market prices, and this artificial control of the market pattern...
Immune system plays a pivotal role in fighting against pathogenic microbes thereby helping to maintain overall health & well-being of the bird. Vitamin E also known as a-tocopherol is a natural anti-oxidant, it improves host defence against infectious diseases by improving phagocytic cell activity & provides bird protection against invaded micro-organisms. Vitamin E in feed reduces negative impact of oxidative stress, thereby maintaining structural & functional...

Available Phosphorus (aP) is the portion of dietary total P that meets the animal's P requirements. This definition isn't tied to a specific P fraction (phytate or nonphytate P). Interestingly, some phytate P (pP) is available to animals, while some nonphytate P (npP) is not, and the availability of both can vary greatly between different feeds It's a good time to remember this... Available P is not Nonphytate
