Having been linked to everything from yield gains, feed-conversion ratio and immunity to disease tolerance, mortality and animal welfare, intestinal health is foundational to the success of poultry operations today.

Having been linked to everything from yield gains, feed-conversion ratio and immunity to disease tolerance, mortality and animal welfare, intestinal health is foundational to the success of poultry operations today.
Clostridial dermatitis is an economically important disease of turkeys characterized by necrotic dermatitis and sudden death. Disease control strategies such as improved management and feeding probiotics have been only variably successful.
Broiler activities like locomotion and movement can be quantified using the broiler activity index (BAI), which has been associated with broiler leg health, productivity and physical conditions. However, current calculation procedures are not user-friendly, requiring extensive training. A new user-friendly web-based AI system could be the answer.
Enviro Tech has received a label amendment from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) allowing the use of PeraGuard® AH, a dry formulation of peracetic acid, to be used to disinfect surfaces from bacteria and viruses, including avian influenza A (H3N2).
At the 2024 Poultry Science Association meeting, Molly Lobel, PhD, and her team at the University of Kentucky presented their findings from a study involving feeding mycotoxin-contaminated corn fines to broilers and exposing the birds to heat stress.
Although poultry production has steadily evolved with improved knowledge and technological advances, coccidiosis remains arguably the most important disease concern to keep in mind and address year after year.
The move to cage-free egg production has spawned a new generation of aviary systems available for hen housing. The question now is how well the new systems perform when balancing egg production and profitability with bird welfare.
Novel disinfection strategies — electrostatic disinfection (ED) and cold fog (CF) disinfection — could help improve hatchability, reduce chronic respiratory disease (CRD) incidence and improve overall health outcomes for poultry, according to a recent Poultry Science report.
