Sustainability in poultry production has evolved far beyond environmental buzzwords to become a critical economic imperative. With feed representing up to 80% of production costs, the intersection of sustainable practices and profitability has never been more crucial for modern poultry
As feed-borne viral transmission becomes a more recognized threat to swine operations worldwide, producers are seeking actionable strategies to protect their herds. These five proven solutions for viral contamination in complete feed and feed ingredients provide evidence-based approaches
The swine industry has undergone a dramatic shift in understanding viral disease transmission pathways. Research into PEDV and PRRSV transmission through feed has revealed that these pathogens can survive and spread through feed ingredients in ways that fundamentally challenge traditional
In recent years, microbiome research has exploded across many fields, particularly in poultry production. As producers face increasing pressure to optimize bird performance while reducing antibiotic use, understanding how the gut microbiome influences broiler growth has become essential
In modern poultry production, enhancing broilers' resistance to pathogens is crucial for both productivity and sustainability. The key to achieving this lies in optimizing gut health, which serves as the foundation for immunity, nutrient absorption, and overall bird performance. Here are
Researchers agree that the quality of feed – including its nutritional content, physical characteristics, and microbial load - significantly influence the development of the gastrointestinal tract microbiome in birds. This directly impacts overall poultry health, performance and
