Abstract:
... Colibacillosis is a poultry disease that negatively affects welfare and causes economic losses. Treatment with antibiotics raises concerns on antimicrobial resistance. Consequently, alternative approaches to enhance poultry resilience are needed. Access to feed and water directly after hatch (early feeding) may enhance resilience at later ages. Additionally, a high eggshell temperature (EST) durin ...

Abstract:
... Sudden death syndrome (SDS) is a condition in which apparently healthy broiler chickens die suddenly. There are short convulsions and frantic wing-beating prior to death, and the weight of internal organs is the same as in healthy chickens. The exact etiology of SDS is unknown. Heart problems have been implicated as a potential cause of the disease in broiler chickens. Despite considerable researc ...

... Necrotic enteritis, caused by NetB producing Clostridium perfringens type G strains, is a globally important poultry disease. An initial step in the pathogenesis of necrotic enteritis is the colonization and degradation of the intestinal mucus layer, a process in which C. perfringens sialidases - such as NanI sialidase - may play an important role. Sialidases cleave terminal sialic acid from compl ...

Abstract:
... Despite the benefits of rural chickens in the Eastern Cape Province (ECP) of South Africa, this sector is still underdeveloped and poorly surveyed for poultry diseases. The lack of a sustainable poultry disease surveillance system coupled with communities and practices where the interactions between birds are high, emphasize the need for targeted surveillance of chicken diseases in the province. H ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Coccidiosis is a poultry disease that occurs worldwide and is caused by Eimeria species. The infection is associated with reduced feed efficiency, body weight gain, and egg production. This study aimed to investigate the current status of coccidiosis and anticoccidial resistance to anticoccidial drugs used as part of control strategies for this disease in Korean chicken farms. RESULTS: ...

Abstract:
... Coccidiosis is a debilitating poultry disease that costs the world more than £10.4 billion annually. Citrus aurantium L, also known as bitter orange, belongs to the family Rutaceae, it's been used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat nausea, constipation, cancer, cardiovascular effect, and as antioxidant. Anticoccidial activity of the ethanolic leaf extract of Citrus aurantium L. against exper ...
... Coccidiosis is a well-known poultry disease that causes the severe destruction of the intestinal tract, resulting in reduced growth performance and immunity, disrupted gut homeostasis and perturbed gut microbiota. Supplementation of probiotics were explored to play a key role in improving growth performance, enhancing innate and adaptive immunity, maintaining gut homeostasis and modulating gut mic ...

Abstract:
... The use of novel vector vaccines (viral, bacterial and apicomplexan) can have a significant impact on the control of poultry disease. They offer a cost effective, convenient and effective means of mass vaccine delivery combined with the ability to switch on both antibody and cell-mediated immunity. In addition, recent viral vector constructs have enabled farmers to vaccinate against up to three im ...

Abstract:
... Poultry behavior is an important indicator for diagnosing poultry diseases. Accurate pose estimation is the basis of poultry behavior analysis, and it provides poultry disease warning methods. On large-scale poultry farms, it is usually a farmer or veterinarian who watches the pose of the broiler chicken to determine whether they are sick. When the posture of the bird is abnormal, the breeders can ...

Abstract:
... Aiming at breaking down the bottleneck problems of different scale of poultry farms, the low profitability of poultry farming, and backward information management in China, a safe and efficient information management system for poultry farming was designed. This system consists of (1) a management system application layer, (2) a data service layer, and (3) an information sensing layer. The informa ...

Abstract:
... Histomonosis, or blackhead disease, is a well-known disease in turkeys that can cause high mortality, but outbreaks with lower losses are also observed. The disease is less fatal in chickens but is economically important due to reduced performance and its co-appearance with colibacillosis. The lack of specific prophylactic and therapeutic interventions has led to a re-emergence of the disease in r ...

Abstract:
... As international trade constitutes one of the main spread pathways of diseases, a better understanding of the trade behaviors of countries will help identify strengths and areas for improvement in the approach of national authorities to controlling poultry diseases globally. Using data reported to the United Nations Comtrade and the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) between 2004 and 2016 ...

Abstract:
... Poultry production contributes significantly to the livelihoods of Ethiopian farmers and to the national economy although it is hampered by different factors, including poultry diseases. There is scarcity of published evidences on the occurrence and impacts of poultry diseases although such evidences are important for policy makers in designing appropriate interventions. A total of 595 households ...

Histomonas meleagridis is an extracellular protozoan parasite and the aetiological agent of histomonosis, an important poultry disease whose impact is greatly accentuated by inaccessibility of any treatment. A special feature of the parasite is its intricate interplay with bacteria in vitro and in vivo, the focus of this article. ...

Abstract:
... Coccidiosis, the parasitic disease caused by Eimeria spp., is controlled during broiler chicken production through the inclusion of in-feed anticoccidial medications. Live-coccidiosis vaccination has become an increasingly common alternative to these medications. Monitoring infections with Eimeria spp. in flocks can be accomplished through determining the concentration of oocysts excreted in the f ...
... Sudden death syndrome (SDS) is an economically important disorder in broiler chickens with unknown aetiology. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the metabolic and molecular alterations related to hypoxia in the myocardium of broiler chickens with SDS. Samples from the cardiac muscle of internal control broiler chickens (ICs) (n = 36) and chickens having died of SDS (n = 36) were obtained ...
... Commercial broiler and layer farming represents an important livestock industry in Bangladesh. Adequate biosecurity practices are considered to be an effective method to prevent infectious disease occurrence on commercial poultry farms, but antimicrobials are also frequently administered to reduce disease risk. We conducted a cross-sectional study on 57 commercial layer and 83 broiler farms in eig ...
... Increased blood lactic acid is likely to be involved in the incidence of sudden death syndrome (SDS) in broiler chicken. Guanidinoacetic acid (GAA) with direct or indirect influence on the cardiovascular system may provide, to some degree, protection against lactic acidemia in birds. A total number of 144 male broiler chicks (Ross 308) were used in a complete randomised block design to investigate ...
