The Poultry Science Association announced the purchase of European Poultry Science from Eugen Ulmer Publishing House of Stuttgart, Germany. The journal joins PSA’s family of leading international research properties, including its flagship title, Poultry Science, and the applied journal, The Journal of Applied Poultry Research.
Adnan Ali Khalaf Alrubaye, PhD, University of Arkansas, and his research team conducted a research project that aimed to achieve lameness reduction in broiler chickens via in ovo immunization with an eBeam-treated multi-strain Staphylococcus vaccine.
Vaccines are essential tools for managing diseases in poultry and ensuring flock welfare. Taking shortcuts with them is never a good idea, however, and there’s plenty of research to prove it. In the second of a two-part series, Bill Stanley, DVM, and Isabel Gimeno, DVM, PhD, talked about their experiences managing vaccines and ensuring optimum performance.
In a recent Poultry Science publication, researchers in Egypt and Saudi Arabia reported that prebiotic and probiotic supplementation in flocks vaccinated for coccidiosis did not alter vaccine effectiveness or improve short-term, vaccine-induced declines in growth performance.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Avian metapneumovirus (aMPV) is now the leading health issue facing the US turkey industry, according to a recent survey of turkey industry professionals and veterinarians representing 73% of the 218 million birds raised in the US over 12 months ending August 2024.
Posting sessions are critical to ensure that poultry health programs are on target and yielding good returns. They have their limitations, however, and can easily fall short if not set up and implemented correctly.
A multi-species microbial feed product outperformed single-species products during a disease challenge, according to research presented at the 2024 International Poultry Scientific Forum by Kevin Bolek, PhD, microbials innovation director for Phibro Animal Health.
