Poultry gut health
The efficient conversion of feed into its basic components for optimal nutrient absorption is vital for both broiler and broiler breeder production and welfare. Gut health, an intricate and complex area combining nutrition, microbiology, immunology and physiology, has a key role to play. When gut health is compromised, digestion and nutrient absorption are affected which, in turn, can have a detrimental effect on feed conversion leading to economic loss and a greater susceptibility to disease. In addition, recent changes in legislation on the use of antimicrobials, differing feed requirements and more efficient birds highlight the need for a better understanding of gut function and gut health.

New research shows the power of vaccination plus feed additives for birds facing intestinal parasites
Necrotic enteritis (NE) can strike young birds seemingly out of nowhere. The disease, which is driven by bacteria and marked by lesions in the gastrointestinal tract, can lead to massive flock mortality.
Poultry scientists have found that flocks can be predisposed to NE when they are...

Botanicals represent a wide class of complex compounds that naturally contain active principles with numerous biological functions. Among them, the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant actions are of key interest to support intestinal health during stressful phases. The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of a thymol-based blend of botanicals (BOT) to protect intestinal Caco-2 cells from the damages induced by an inflammatory challenge in vitro. Caco-2 cells were differentiated on...

INTRODUCTION Salmonella has been linked to numerous foodborne illnesses from consumption of poultry products. The FoodNet preliminary data for 2016-2019 identified 25,866 infections, 6,164 hospitalizations and 122 deaths due to foodborne illnesses in United States of which Salmonella contribute about 17.1% of total foodborne infections (Tack et al., 2020; Vaddu et al., 2020). They also reported 5 most common Salmonella serotypes in the US - Enteritidis, Typhimurium, Newport,...
