Mycotoxins: Their effect in breeder hens

Breeding hens are a valuable asset for the poultry industry, as they produce the hatching eggs and day-old chicks. It is therefore important to manage contamination as well as possible. Mycotoxin management is part of that. In the production of hatching eggs and day-old chicks, the selection of raw materials with high nutritional quality and...

Fewer pathogens with egg immunoglobulins

For newborn pigs there are often a host of different challenges – think of crushing or contamination of the farrowing pen. For the last problem, solutions exist. A dietary approach can help to relieve pathogenic pressure through sow manure. The main objective of a piglet producer is to maximise the number of healthy weaned piglets...

Mycotoxin interactions: An obstacle to risk assessment

In animal feed, multi-mycotoxin contamination is found quite frequently and seems to be the rule rather than the exception in practical diets. Here we present a quick overview of the interactions known. Mycotoxins represent an exceptional challenge for feed and animal producers: they are pro- duced by common moulds, occur in a great variety and...

Secondary Plant Compounds (SPC’s) to reduce the use of antibiotics?

Initial in vitro trials give reason for hope Antibiotic Resistance Some bacteria, due to mutations, are less sensitive to certain antibiotics than others. This means that if certain antibiotics are used, the insensitive ones survive. Because their competitors have been eliminated, they are able to reproduce better.This resistance can be transferred to daughter cells by...

Necrotic enteritis in poultry

Enteric diseases cause significant economic losses due to decreased weight gain, higher mortality, higher feed conversion, higher veterinary costs and medicine and a higher risk of contamination by poultry products in food production. The losses due to necrotic enteritis mainly occurring in broilers and fattening turkeys in intensive floor or free-range management are put at...

New possibilities – Secondary plant compounds against antibiotic-resistant E. coli

Due to incorrect therapeutic or preventive use of antibiotics in animal production as well as in human medicine, occurrence of antibiotic resistant pathogens has become a widespread problem. Enterobacteria in particular (e.g. Salmonella, Klebsiella, E. coli) possess a special mechanism of resistance. By producing special enzymes (ß-lactamases), they are able to withstand the attack of...

Using milk thistle to reduce liver damage from mycotoxins

Mycotoxins not only reduce animal performance, but they also cause significant liver damage. The seeds of the herb plant milk thistle contain a mixture of flavonolignans known as silymarin and can help in reducing liver damage when animals get in contact with mycotoxin contaminated feed. Mycotoxins are a constant problem in cereals causing economic losses...

Administrar inmunoglobulinas a la cerda disminuye la presión patógena en los lechones

Las primeras semanas después del nacimiento son, junto con el destete, los momentos más críticos en la vida de los lechones. La diarrea causada por diversos patógenos, muchas veces, es la razón de altas tasas de mortalidad y casi siempre de la reducción del rendimiento. ¿Por qué es este periodo tan crucial para los lechones?...

En terneros, no todas las diarreas son iguales

Generalmente la diarrea se caracteriza por el hecho de que se secreta más líquido que se reabsorbe. Sin embargo, la diarrea no es una enfermedad, sino que en realidad es un síntoma. La diarrea tiene una función protectora para el organismo, cuando el volumen de líquido en el intestino es mayor, se incrementa el peristaltismo...
