Abstract:
... Avian mycoplasmas occur in a wide variety of birds including commercial poultry. The most important mycoplasmas in chickens and turkeys are Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG), M. synoviae (MS), and M. meleagridis. Additionally, M. iowe (MI) is an emerging pathogen in turkeys, but appears to pose little issues for chickens. Pathogenic mechanisms include adherence to host target cells, release of toxins, ...

Subject:
broiler chickens; carbohydrate metabolism; chelates; diet; egg shell quality; feed industry; feeds; guidelines; laying hens; lipids; manganese; nutrient requirements; poultry nutrition; skeletal development; sulfates
Abstract:
... Manganese (Mn) is an element required in nutrition, functioning largely in the enzyme systems involved in lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. It plays an important role in growth, bone development, perosis prevention, optimal eggshell quality and performance maintenance of poultry. The current NRC (1994) guidelines recommend 20 and 60 mg/kg of Mn for laying hens and broilers, respectively. In pract ...

Abstract:
... Glycerin or glycerol (C₃H₅(OH)₃) is one of the most valuable and versatile chemical materials known. The term ‘glycerin’ refers in general to a commercial solution of glycerol in water of which the main constituent is glycerol. Glycerin is an odourless, colourless, viscous liquid with a sweet taste. It is completely soluble in both alcohol and water. Glycerin is the main co-product derived from bi ...

Abstract:
... Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) is one of the most economically damaging diseases affecting the poultry industry. This group of extra-intestinal E. coli causes a variety of clinical conditions including air-sacculitis and cellulitis. The economic impact of APEC is mainly due to mortality, slower growth rates and carcass downgrading. In commercial broiler operations, APEC infections are co ...

5. Farm openings and their impacts on the attitudes of the visitors towards intensive egg and poultry meat production

Author:
HEIJNE, D.; WINDHORST, H.-W.

Subject:
attitudes and opinions; eggs; family farms; meat production; poultry; poultry housing; poultry meat; poultry production; questionnaires; Germany
Abstract:
... The growing scepticism of the public towards intensive poultry production provided the background to a joint project of the University of Vechta and the Poultry Association of Lower Saxony in 2012. The main goal of the transparency project was to provide a realistic impression on modern, market-oriented poultry production on family farms by opening poultry houses to the public. From 2012 until 201 ...

Abstract:
... Poultry can be exposed to different kinds of immunosuppressive agents that impair health and welfare by destroying innate and acquired immunity leading to diminished genetic potential of poultry for efficient production. Immunosuppression is a condition characterised by humoral and cellular immune dysfunction that leads to increased susceptibility to secondary infections and vaccine failure. Immun ...
