Robots running on ceiling-mounted tracks may someday revolutionize broiler-house management by cutting labor costs and improving operational efficiencies. Tanner Thornton, University of Tennessee-Knoxville research technician describes the Scout autonomous robot, introduced in 2023 by AGCO’s Cumberland equipment brand.

A postbiotic product proven to reduce the severity of avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) in broilers could give producers and veterinarians an additional tool to manage risk in pre-harvest poultry.
Consumers, retail customers and even legislators in some states are embracing cage-free egg production, necessitating a shift in the laying-hen industry.
Animal welfare audits are performed to evaluate whether a hatchery, farm, or processing plant is meeting the specific animal welfare standards of a certification program.
Careful attention to the coccidiosis vaccination process and follow-up monitoring will go a long way toward ensuring a positive outcome. However, even the best programs will encounter an occasional hiccup.

Conventional diagnostic methods for detecting Salmonella in live poultry production typically rely on analyzing isolated bacterial colonies from enriched samples. Recent evidence, however, suggests these methods can overlook the presence of certain strains and serotypes.
Coccidiosis vaccination is a critical tool to mitigate economic losses for broiler producers. However, dry litter conditions and low placement densities can complicate successful vaccine replication and subsequent immunizing exposure.
Adding fishmeal into the diets of broiler breeder roosters could improve egg hatchability, North Carolina State University research suggests.
