Effective biosecurity plans are essential to prevent disease outbreaks and control pathogens in animal production systems.Disease outbreaks, such as the Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus (PEDV) and Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) in the U.S. and African Swine Fever (ASF) in China,
As the poultry industry moves toward antibiotic-free production, managing common diseases such as Necrotic Enteritis (NE) without antibiotics has become a priority. NE, caused by Clostridium perfringens, is an intestinal disease that primarily affects young broilers and has a major
The health of broiler breeders—the birds responsible for producing meat-market broilers—is tied to the quality of their feed and the cleanliness of their environment. In recent years, increased cases of hen mortality, egg contamination and poor chick quality have highlighted the need for
Rendering is a powerful, eco-friendly process that recycles animal by-products into valuable resources like protein meals, biofuels and animal feed. By transforming what would otherwise be landfill-bound waste, rendering is revolutionizing animal agriculture, reducing environmental impact
Rendering is the key to turning animal processing waste into valuable resources. Half of every food-producing animal is considered inedible byproduct and repurposed into valuable resources like animal feed and biofuels, not only reducing waste but supporting food safety, biosecurity and
A swine farm functions as a complex biological system, where every operational component—from the herd to feed storage and equipment—is meticulously managed to sustain a healthy and productive environment. Even minor lapses in biosecurity and hygiene can tip this balance, resulting in
