Incorporating probiotics into poultry management, particularly through in ovo and in-feed supplementation, can provide a sustainable method to enhance the health and productivity of layer hens, suggests research conducted by the University of Connecticut.
Hens can positively influence the skin and respiratory tract microbiota of newly hatched chicks, according to a study published in Poultry Science.
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.
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.
Results of a study suggest that peas and pea products could be an attractive alternative to soybean meal as a dietary protein source and provide potential gut-health benefits, such as reduced pathogenic bacteria and increased commensal bacteria.
Eggshell translucency is linked to several hatching-egg quality parameters but not egg specific gravity or eggshell color, according to a recent study published in Poultry Science.
Novel disinfection strategies — electrostatic disinfection (ED) and cold fog (CF) disinfection — could help improve hatchability, reduce chronic respiratory disease (CRD) incidence and improve overall health outcomes for poultry, according to a recent Poultry Science report.
The first comprehensive literature review in 40 years presents up-to-date research and best practices to prevent floor egg laying.
Prolonged exposure to heat stress can lead to respiratory injury in broiler chickens, according to a recent study in China.
Without other stressors to skew results, altering stocking density (SD) within common ranges does not affect the well-being of layer chicks being transported from hatcheries to pullet-rearing operations.
Feeding olive oil byproducts such as olive pulp and olive pomace to broilers can improve several growth performance parameters, including nutrient digestibility, feed efficiency and growth, according to a review article published recently in Poultry Science.
