Ventilating poultry houses on foggy days
Properly ventilating poultry houses is an art in itself. And is it wise or not to ventilate on foggy days? Relative humidity and other factors play an important role to provide a good climate and growing conditions inside the house. There is a concern amongst many poultry producers that→
One of the main features of using seaweeds is because they produce unique bioactive metabolites (carbohydrates, proteins, minerals, polyphenols, pigments, mycosporine-like amino acids, and polyunsaturated fatty acids) that terrestrial plants cannot synthesize. The positive effects of these metabolites are associated with anti-microbial, anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and prebiotic functions →
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. →
As human world population increases the need of ensure food access and high-quality nutrition is essential. The broiler industry has been able to demonstrate an accelerated growth that get along with the market needs. However, the process to obtain high yields depends on several factors included the incubation process. →
Some hatcheries use hatchers that automatically perform eggshell temperature measurements, necessary calculations, and adaptations without opening the incubator doors. If your hatchery does not have devices in its incubators, there is the alternative of measuring the temperature of the eggshell manually and achieving optimal results with little damage to the embryos. →
Keeping a good shell quality is important to maximize broiler performance from breeders since quality and hatchability go together. Knowing the eggshell quality of a flock allows to improve their management practices by making changes to enhance the shells of poor quality together with hatchability and quality of the chick. →
