Infectious Coryza – Constant Danger in Broilers
The economic impact caused by respiratory diseases is of great importance in raising broilers. The constant search for improvements has encouraged companies to invest in vaccine programs, biosecurity, and preventive management. A disease that until recently was considered only of properties with→
Different processes are included in the feed manufacturing for broilers. From all those processes, grinding is one of the most expensive, but at the same time one of the most important. Adequate particle size reduction helps improve mixing uniformity, reduces segregation after mixing and improves pellet quality, among others. →
Males are in charge of fertilizing the eggs of 10 broiler breeders, which could correspond to more than 1,000 fertilized eggs per year. The development of testicles, semen quality, and fertility are affected by age, genetic, management, stressors, nutrition, and other factors. However, an adequate nutritional modulation has demonstrated to improve the fertility of males successfully. →
As the immune system is not fully developed at hatch, chicks are particularly susceptible to several viral, bacterial, and parasitic infections. High mortality rates during the first week tend to be very common in poultry productions because of omphalitis, respiratory tract infections, airsacculitis, and septicemia. →
Colibacillosis is an infection that can be either localized or systemic caused by avian pathogenic E. Coli. Nowadays, colibacillosis is considered one of the major problems that the poultry industry faces because of the health and performance problems that it causes and the antibiotic resistance observed in this pathology. →
Arginine is known to be involved in several physiological functions like growth and immunity due to its capacity to act as a substrate for nitric oxide, creatine, ornithine, glutamine, and some other molecules. Because chickens are uricotelic animals, they are unable to obtain endogenous arginine. Therefore, chickens rely on the amino acid content of the feedstuffs to supply the arginine requirements. →
