Studies on the growth performance of different broiler strains at high altitude and evaluation of probiotic effect on their survivability

Identification of appropriate breeds of broilers and development of new feed additives is required for the development of poultry industry at high altitude. Therefore, this experiment was conducted first to identify the suitable broiler strain for this region. One week old chicks (150) from three broiler strains, i.e. Vencobb, RIR cross-bred, and Hubbard were randomly selected and divided equally into three groups. All the chicks were provided the same basal diet. The body weight gain and feed: gain responses were significantly (P < 0.05) improved in RIR cross-bred. Mortality was also observed lower in RIR cross-bred. Thereafter, the second trial was conducted in RIR cross-bred to evaluate the effect of probiotic supplementation (T1@ 9 gm/kg feed, T2@ 18 gm/kg feed) on their performance and mortality. No significant differences (P > 0.05) were observed in weight gain, feed intake, feed: gain, and water intake among the three groups, however, mortality from ascites and coccidiosis was reduced in probiotic treated groups. Hence, our results suggest that RIR cross-bred is suitable for rearing in high altitude regions and probiotic supplementation has no beneficial effects on production performance of broilers at high altitude. However, probiotic supplementation indicated lesser loss due to mortality of birds.

Analisis Keunggulan Komparatif Industri Pakan Ternak di Jawa Barat dan Lampung

The role of feedmill industry in the livestock production system is very essential. Therefore the efficient feed production is required to support the poultry industry development. This study is intended to evaluate the economic feasibility of the feed industries in Lampung and West Java. The finding of this study indicated that poultry feed production is economically efficient under import substitution scenario, but on the border line under interregional trade regime, and is not feasible for export promotion. Although feedmill industries did not receive any input subsidies, they persistently enjoyed financial profit due to highly output price protection. The implication of the study is that the poultry feed production have to be vertically integrated with feedstuff supply and poultry production. Operationally the feedmills have to use local raw materials and the output (feed) should be directed to support livestock development in the respective region.

DNA Vaccination in Chickens.

Robust and sustainable development of poultry industry requires prevention of deadly infectious diseases. Vigorous vaccination of the birds is a routine practice; however, the live and inactivated vaccines that are used have inherent disadvantages. New-generation vaccines such as DNA vaccines offer several advantages over conventional vaccines. DNA vaccines, which encode an antigen of interest or multiple antigens in the target host, are stable, easy to produce and administer, do not require cold chain maintenance, and are not affected by the maternal antibodies. In addition, DNA vaccines can also be administered in ovo, and thus, mass vaccination and early induction of immune response can effectively be achieved. In this chapter, we focus on the development of DNA vaccines against important infectious viral as well as parasitic diseases of poultry.

Ecological principles of the prospects of commercial poultry production development

The main trends and ecological problems of the domestic industrial poultry wеre considered. Ecological basics of any material production, as well as modern industrial poultry, provide harmonious development of the system «production – environment – human». Рoultry factory should be considered as natural-іndustrial complex. It includes natural resources using, products` recycling, utilization of waste, infrastructures. This leads to permanent anthropogenic pressure on the environment.The current level of poultry industry development and the state of its resource base requires a fundamentally new approach to the problem of internal resources use. Creation and implementation of low-waste and non-waste technologies, which allows complex and include the production cycle of all the raw materials that are constantly formed and accumulated in poultry farms in the production of primary products – eggs and poultry meat. The basic principles of ecological expertise in the design of poultry farms were analyzed. For studying, analysis and forecast the impact of different technologies of modern poultry system environmental investigations are required. Ecological basis of production of poultry products such as regulatory basis, environmental assessment, social component were defined. Formation of a new principal environmental and economic thinking based on environmental awareness and ecological culture producers poultry products are an important and necessary component. In XXI century the «environmental imperative» must determine the ecological consequences of rapid growth in production of poultry meat and eggs in industrial poultry. This is objective awareness of the need to reckon with the laws of nature, preservation of the biological conditions of human existence and requires exclusion of any possibility of natural ecosystems destruction.

Proteome changes in the small intestinal mucosa of broilers (Gallus gallus) induced by high concentrations of atmospheric ammonia.

BackgroundAmmonia is a well-known toxicant both existing in atmospheric and aquatic system. So far, most studies of ammonia toxicity focused on mammals or aquatic animals. With the development of poultry industry, ammonia as a main source of contaminant in the air is causing more and more problems on broiler production, especially lower growth rate. The molecular mechanisms that underlie the negative effects of ammonia on the growth and intestine of broilers are yet unclear. We investigated the growth, gut morphology, and mucosal proteome of Arbor Acres broilers (Gallus gallus) exposed to high concentrations of atmospheric ammonia by performing a proteomics approach integrated with traditional methods.ResultsExposure to ammonia interfered with the development of immune organ and gut villi. Meanwhile, it greatly reduced daily weight gain and feed intake, and enhanced feed conversion ratio. A total of 43 intestinal mucosal proteins were found to be differentially abundant. Up-regulated proteins are related to oxidative phosphorylation and apoptosis. Down-regulated proteins are related to cell structure and growth, transcriptional and translational regulation, immune response, oxidative stress and nutrient metabolism. These results indicated that exposure to ammonia triggered oxidative stress, and interfered with nutrient absorption and immune function in the small intestinal mucosa of broilers.ConclusionsThese findings have important implications for understanding the toxic mechanisms of ammonia on intestine of broilers, which provides new information that can be used for intervention using nutritional strategies in the future.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12953-015-0067-4) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

A Model for Promoting Poultry Industry Development in Togo: Part 1. Management Practices and Incubation Conditions

4 Abstract: In commercial poultry husbandry practice, the hatchery takes over the incubation of bird eggs in order to provide as many day-old chicks as needed at any time to farmers. The main bottleneck for poultry industry development in Togo is the lack of day-old chick supply. Indeed, there is no proficient hatchery which can cover the needs of the farmers because of lack of information about hatchery management or people trained as hatchery managers. Also, there is lack of information about management practice aspects, etc. With the aim to promote poultry industry in Togo, an interuniversity project (Catholic University of Leuven (KUL) and University of Lome (UL)) as a model of poultry industry development was implemented. Specific objectives of the current project are to implement research and development activities on better conditions of incubation and adapted management practices focusing mainly on (1) Effect of early transferring of layer breeders hatching eggs on embryo parameters and hatchability, (2) Comparison of different chicken genotypes in Embryo Physiology, (3) Effects of heat conditioning at d 16 to 18 of incubation or during early broiler rearing on embryo physiology, post-hatch growth performance and heat tolerance, (4) Effect of low albumen quantity on chick embryo and post-hatch parameters, (5) Effects of In ovo-administration of L-carnitine on hatching events and juvenile performance of layer-type chick, (6) Interaction effects of mixing hatching eggs of differential embryo growth trajectory and incubator CO2 concentration on embry o physiological parameters, (7) Effect of delayed feed access on production and blood parameters of layer-type chicks and (8) Induced moulting of layer chickens.

Outbreaks of salmonellosis in three different poultry farms of Kerala, India

Avian salmonellosis is an important disease causing serious impediment to the development of poultry industry especially in developing countries of Asia and Africa. Since no “effective” immunoprophylactic measures are available for the disease till date, strict biosecurity is the only alternative to preclude the disease. For formulating the control measures, an understanding of the epidemiology of the disease, proper diagnosis and identification of the causative agent is quintessential. This report sheds light on three different outbreaks of salmonellosis in three different farms in Kerala (India) describing the disease diagnosis, antibiotic resistance and the suggested control measures. All the three isolates were revealed to be Salmonella gallinarum and were resistant to at least three of the antimicrobial agents tested.

Poultry farmers’ response to AI outbreak and its control in Indonesia

Background: AI outbreak in Indonesia had started since August 2003 up to now. GOI continuously try to control it by introducing 9 strategies on bio-security policies, for instance, vaccination, depopulation, transportation and trading of poultry products. Poultry industry development provides employment for villagers and it is very important for low income villagers, in particular poultry rearers in sector IV. Methods: In order to observe socio economic impacts of AI outbreak in sector IV, survey had been implemented in three provinces in Indonesia in early 2008. Results: Results indicated that in general farmers did not know the 13 symptoms as overall AI symptoms. Overall only 2.6 percent of the respondents knew all of the AI symptoms. This knowledge was very low and, therefore, they could not deal with AI outbreak properly. Overall, only 25.1 percent of the respondents knew all of the seven items relating with control measures as (i) stamping out, (ii) vaccination, (iii) spraying disinfectant (iv) isolation, (v)) burning, (vi) compensation and (vii) provide antibiotic, while the rests knew only some of the items. The higher the disease attack the smaller the percentage of the respondents knew all items of AI outbreak prevention. Most farmers conducted vaccination (65.3 percent). Only few smallholders in West Java applied vaccination (27.1 percent). Almost all farmers said that all of the methods of controlling AI outbreak did not give economic benefit. Survey also revealed that location of poultry enterprise is always sticking to and extend according to the pattern of residential areas. Conclusion: In densely populated Java, it is almost impossible to differentiate between areas to rear poultry and residential areas. In one hand, such situation hardly can be excused considering environmental aspects for instance, but on the other hand, poultry in sector IV also need to be developed to provide employment for villagers.
