Reducing the use of phosphate in feed can increase the security of raw material supply, cut costs and reduce farming’s environmental impact. But can this be done effectively without compromising bird health and welfare?
The pre-slaughter phase for broiler chickens is a period that contains many stressors and risks for animal welfare. Understanding the factors that can lead to negative welfare outcomes is important to make improvements in broiler chicken welfare during the pre-slaughter phase.
Molecular biology is a powerful tool the poultry industry can use to better understand and ultimately control avian coccidiosis. In a presentation at the 2024 PSA meeting, Mark Jenkins, PhD, discussed the usefulness of molecular biology and improved vaccination strategies to control coccidiosis.
BinSentry has launched ProSense HD, a new, artificial intelligence (AI)-powered, inventory-management platform aimed at commercial poultry operations, feed mills and other grain handlers.
Coccidiosis ranks in the top 10 poultry health concerns worldwide, and the cost of its control can be significant. Kayla Price, PhD, poultry technical manager, outlined points to consider and how to build an arsenal of alternative products to manage coccidiosis in poultry flocks.
Controlling ILT with vaccination is critical in maintaining healthy and profitable poultry production. Nearly all long-lived poultry in the US are vaccinated against ILT.
New research by BinSentry has found that most feed outages are caused by bin slide-management errors, not running out of feed on-site. The study identified — for the first time anywhere — a new category of feed outages.
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.
More than 6 million birds have been vaccinated against avian metapneumovirus (aMPV) type B since the September rollout of the first experimental autogenous vaccine produced in the US, according to Ivan Alvarado, PhD, associate director, scientific marketing affairs, Merck Animal Health.
