An understanding of the long-term cycling of trace elements in soil with broiler litter fertilization under various forage utilization strategies is needed to develop sustainable agricultural production systems. We evaluated differences in Cu, Mn, Zn, and six other trace elements in response to 5 yr of bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] management varying in fertilization and harvest st...

Meat consumption and production in Asia have boomed over the last decade to meet growing regional global demand. now supplies around 40% of broiler or meat chicken industry. Dominant policy frameworks such as ‘One Health’ aim manage health risks associated with factory livestock farming, which has rightly become a major concern because regular disease outbreaks. Yet this approach provides limit...

The use of herbs and spices has gained increasing interest as feed additives and possible alternative to antibiotics in poultry production. The effects of using different levels of coriander seed powder or extract on selected blood parameters, intestinal microflora, and immune response of broiler chickens were investigated in this study. A total of 420-day-old broiler chicks were randomly assig...

An experiment was conducted to determine whether spraying hatching eggs with electrolyzed oxidizing (EO) water would decrease eggshell microbial load and hence improve hatchability, chick quality, and broiler growth performance. Eggs were collected from a broiler breeder flock; half the eggs were sprayed with EO water and the other half were left untreated. Enterobacteriaceae and total aerobic ...

the subgroup j of alv (alv-j) has emerged as an important pathogen of meat-type chickens since1989. this virus is responsible for economic losses due to both mortality and depressed performance inchickens. so, the objective of this study is the detection of alv-j in the albumen of commercial and nativefowl eggs using rt-pcr. three hundred and seventy egg albumens were randomly selected from dif...

Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli strains have remarkable impacts on animal welfare and the production economy in the poultry industry worldwide. Here, we present the draft genomes of two isolates from chickens (E44 and E51) obtained from field outbreaks and subsequently investigated for their potential for use in autogenous vaccines for broiler breeders.
