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.
Biosecurity is a continuous work in progress with protocols evolving over the years based on new research and experiences.
Ancera has released two new microbial-detection tools designed to identify and enumerate Clostridium perfringens and total viable bacteria (TVB) in poultry.
The field of phytogenic feed additives derived from unique plant compounds is yielding positive performance results in feed efficiency studies.
A technology from Cargill may overcome a barrier the layer industry has faced in understanding the nutrition and performance of its flocks, paving the way to reduced feed costs and higher egg production through better nutrition.
Minimizing bird stress is critical for maintaining good welfare and flock performance, but it’s especially critical when birds are less than 4 weeks old, a Virginia Tech study shows.
ImagoAI Inc. — a company based in Milpitas, California, specializing in hyperspectral imaging and AI technology — says it is collaborating with USDA to develop a hand-held device called GalaxyLyte, which makes mycotoxin testing accessible anywhere.
Scientists have uncovered a new pathway to address the challenge of managing broiler breeder feed intake to achieve a more optimal balance of growth, reproductivity and welfare.
Housing systems for laying hens in the United States (and more broadly across the world) are transitioning away from conventional cages to cage-free systems.
Want to learn more about identifying and managing enteric health problems in poultry? A webinar hosted by Vasil Stanev, DVM, director of global technical services for Phibro Animal Health Corporation, is a good place to start.
A Midwestern flock of 15,000 finisher turkey hens experienced persistent respiratory disease that caused 10% to 15% mortalities, prompting the flock veterinarian to determine the cause of this heavy mortality.
Virtually everyone in the poultry industry is aware of coccidiosis — a disease caused by protozoan parasites, Eimeria, that develop within the intestine of most domestic and wild animals and birds. The condition is more elusive in turkeys, however.
