Immunosuppression is a costly yet often misunderstood problem in the poultry industry. But what exactly is immunosuppression, and how can it be detected, diagnosed and measured? In the first of a two-part series, Isabel Gimeno, DVM, PhD, and Bill Stanley, DVM, share their expertise on this topic.
Stocking density is a key determinant of profits from a broiler operation as revenues per unit of space increase with increasing stocking density. However, overcrowding due to high stocking density can lead to negative behavior and welfare consequences.
Meeting tougher demands by the USDA’s FSIS to control Salmonella doesn’t warrant reinventing the wheel, according to Chuck Hofacre, DVM, PhD, president of the Southern Poultry Research Group, Inc.
Sponsored by the Southern Poultry Science Society, the Southern Conference on Avian Diseases and the U.S. Poultry & Egg Association (USPOULTRY), IPSF will present information on industry topics such as environmental management, nutrition, physiology and pathology.

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.
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.
