NCSU: Environment, genetics affect egg production in a cage-free system

Consumers, retail customers and even legislators in some states are embracing cage-free egg production, necessitating a shift in the laying-hen industry.

UGA scientist shares latest insights on APEC in chickens

Despite the industry’s best efforts to control colibacillosis in layers, broilers and breeders, the bacterial disease caused by avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) continues to challenge producers and researchers.

Ancera releases third-party verification platform to speed product development for poultry industry

Ancera has released a new suite of comprehensive monitoring tools to provide allied companies of the poultry industry with real-time, third-party evidence demonstrating product efficacy.

Vaccinating for ILT? Scientist explains why two glycoproteins are better than one

Developing a recombinant vaccine that protects against infectious bursal disease plus two other viral bugs – infectious laryngotracheitis and Marek’s disease – may sound simple on paper. But in the world of vaccine development, 1 + 1 doesn’t necessarily equal 2.

Don’t overlook the basics when using coccidiosis vaccines

Most poultry producers today use vaccines to help manage coccidiosis. Live coccidial vaccines are designed to uniformly infect birds with a controlled number of Eimeria oocysts to stimulate a protective immune response, but not all vaccines are the same.

Transforming data into information that makes poultry healthier

Veterinary data play a critical role in not only analyzing poultry health but also implementing long- and short-term strategies to improve health and prevent disease. However, several challenges present roadblocks to capturing and interpreting these data.

Plant-based feed additive linked to broiler performance, meat quality parameters

Researchers investigating combinations of plant-derived ingredients observed a positive impact of a specific phytogenic feed additive when looking at production performance and meat quality in broilers — with particularly notable results for larger birds.

New non-invasive assay for C. perfringens helps monitor NE in poultry

Necrotic enteritis (NE) is a devastating disease characterized by severe gut inflammation and sudden death, which can lead to significant economic losses. A new instrument from Ancera can help identify Clostridium perfringens, the causative agent of NE, early enough to help producers treat or prevent NE.

‘Deep serotyping’ providing new roadmaps for managing Salmonella in poultry

Traditional methods to detect Salmonella in poultry and trace outbreaks often fail to give the full picture of the threat in enough time for integrators to act. This lack of oversight limits the effectiveness of intervention strategies designed to mitigate Salmonella transmission.

Study finds dual ILT vaccination provides ‘most robust protection’ in long-lived birds

Poultry farms seeking protection against infectious laryngotracheitis (ILT) outbreaks may find the best defense for layers and broiler-breeder replacement birds is a dual ILT vaccination program.
