Blue light reduces fear and stress in birds while also improving their vision yet it does not appear to significantly affect production parameters, according to researchers. But will farmers be interested in using blue light?
Turkey veterinarians and producers are increasingly turning to coccidiosis vaccines and using them in a rotation with anticoccidials in the feed as a standard component in their prevention programs.
Kelli Jones, DVM, MAM, Ceva Animal Health, shares tips for successfully using coccidiosis vaccination.
Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming widely used across various fields and could be a transformative tool for enhancing poultry management practices.
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.
A broiler-immunization program centered on a live monovalent vaccine containing the Georgia 08 (GA08) serotype of infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is showing benefits to protect broilers against the Delmarva/1639 (DMV/1639) serotype of IBV.
