1. Introduction Colibacillosis is one of the most common bacterial diseases in poultry farming. The infection can be localized, but more regularly it is systemic and leads to high mortality on farms [1,2]. The lesions in adult egg-laying hens most frequently include peritonitis, polyserositis, and salpingitis [3,4]. Whether the infection is primary or secondary, the outbreaks are managed by the application of antimicrobials through the drinking water [5]. The treatment is usually...

Salmonella infections cause enteric diseases in humans and animals, and poultry production is generally associated with contamination by this foodborne pathogen. S. enteritidis (SE) and S. typhimurium (ST), as well as other serotypes such as S. Heidelberg (SH) and S. infantis (SI), are highly prevalent. This study evaluated the protection conferred by a live SE vaccine (auxotrophic for the amino acids adenine and histidine) in laying hens exposed to field strains of SH or...

1. Introduction In the ever-evolving landscape of poultry farming, the critical role of nutrition in maximizing productivity and promoting avian health has gained significant attention. Domestic fowl, specifically chickens, turkeys, geese, and ducks, hold a paramount position in the global animal protein industry, meeting the rising demand for affordable and nutritious protein sources. Forecasts indicate that by 2031, approximately 47% of the protein sourced from meat will stem...

1. Introduction Thermoelectric modules convert heat energy into electrical energy and vice versa. The temperature difference between the hot and cold junctions creates a potential difference, which generates electrical energy [1]. The generated electrical energy, in turn, creates a temperature difference between the two junctions, where the cold junction becomes colder, and the hot junction becomes hotter [2]. These modules are primarily used for cooling and heating...

1. Introduction Poultry production has one of the fastest rates of development among animal industries, and it greatly enhances nutrition and food security. Over the past few years, broiler chicken genetics, feed conversion ratio, fat reduction and breast size, as well as egg production and quality, have all seen considerable improvements [1–3]. In the poultry industry, the cost of feed makes up a sizeable amount of the total cost of producing meat and eggs. The general...

Interesting discussion and great batting by both sides for their respective 'teams'. As a casual observer, some of the statements seem a little too absolute and imply that these compounds behave in linear, siloed, non-interacting ways in the body. Betaine clearly cannot replace methionine as an amino acid, but that does not mean it cannot spare dietary methionine. Methionine and potentially betaine can or could contribute indirectly to the broader one-carbon metabolism that supports purine...

In modern poultry production, maintaining a healthy avian immune system is essential for protecting birds against pathogens and sustaining productive performance. When immune defense is weakened, poultry become more susceptible to invasion by viruses, bacteria, parasites, and other pathogens, increasing the...

@Kalyani Sarode Dear Kalyani Sarode, your remark adds an aspect which we usually do not emphasize a lot in context of whether or not betaine can replace supplemental methionine. Indeed, also cobalamine (B12) has an - at least - as important role for remethylating homocysteine to methionine - which actually reduces the importance of betaine in this context. You remind me to be scientifically correct. While, for sure, betaine is not a building block, it cannot replace...

@dear Mario, in my view, we cannot make meaningful progress in defining starch quality unless we first reach global agreement on an appropriate method for total starch analysis. For more than twenty years we have debated Ewers versus enzymatic starch determination, and the discrepancies—especially in pulses—remain substantial. In many cases, the analytical method used is not even reported, which further complicates nutritional interpretation. In short: first things first. We need to resolve...

Interactions among nutrients such as vitamins and minerals are of great importance in poultry nutrition and can negatively affect the performance of birds if not considered (Mir et al. 2021). Providing protection to the cells against the oxidative damage by free radicals and lipo-peroxides, selenium (Se) is an integral part of Se-dependent antioxidant enzymes, and thus involved in the antioxidant defense system of the body (Finkel and Holbrook 1991). Traditionally, in poultry diets, Se...
