Understanding the dangers of mycotoxins for breeder hens

As the producers of hatching eggs and day-old chicks, breeding hens are the backbone of the poultry industry. Hence it is common practice to pay particular attention to this valuable asset’s feed, selecting raw materials of high nutritional quality and safety. However, in any feed formulated for animals in production and reproduction, studies show that...

Mind the immunity gap: egg immunoglobulins bolster piglets’ immune system

In contrast to humans, piglets do not receive any maternal immunoglobulins via the placenta. It is therefore of vital importance for these young animals to receive maternal antibodies via the colostrum as soon as possible after birth. Otherwise, they are more vulnerable to illnesses in their early stages of life. In this article, we look...

Optimal conditions in the farrowing unit put piglets in pole position

The most important parameters for a pig producer are the number of healthy pigs weaned/sow/year and their weaning weight. Due to improved genetics, it is possible today to find production systems that deliver more than 30 pigs weaned/sow/year. Strategies to increase sow productivity need to take into account the management, feeding, and health of both...

Want antibiotic-free broilers? Start with antibiotic-free broiler breeders

Strong demand by consumers; restaurant chains and wholesalers for antibiotic-free (ABF) meat; the threat of antimicrobial resistance; and stringent regulations on the use of antibiotics – there are many good reasons for poultry producers to strive for antibiotic-free production systems. Crucially, to successfully produce poultry meat without antibiotics requires a paradigm shift that starts right...

Beyond AGPs: Controlling necrotic enteritis through gut health optimization

Antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) have routinely been used in intensive poultry production for improving birds’ performance. However, in recent years, reducing the use of antibiotics in animal production has become a top priority, due to concerns about the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and mounting consumer pressure. Multiple countries have introduced bans or severe restrictions...

Phytomolecules: A tool against antibiotic-resistant E. coli

Diseases caused by E. coli entail use of antibiotics in animal production E. coli infections are a major problem in pig production. Especially young animals with an incompletely developed immune system are often unable to cope with the cavalcade of pathogens. In poultry, E. coli are responsible for oedema, but also for respiratory diseases....

Phytomolecules: Boosting Poultry Performance without Antibiotics

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major threat to global public health. It is largely caused by the overuse of antibiotics in human medicine and agriculture. In intensive poultry production most antibiotics are used as antimicrobial growth promoters and/or used as prophylactic and metaphylactic treatments to healthy animals. Reducing such antibiotic interventions is crucial to lowering...

Egg immunoglobulins as a plasma replacer

Animal plasma has been widely used in piglet feeding, not only as a protein source, but also as a tool to reduce gastrointestinal disorders after weaning. Drs FELLIPE BARBOSA and INGE HEINZL* consider a safe alternative in order to keep animals healthy and to avoid loss of performance. The recent developments surrounding the health...

Diarrhoea? Egg powder to the rescue

Another tool to reduce the use of antibiotics is the use of immunoglobulins from eggs. Trials showed that this product is effective to support a calf’s start in life and also to offer support when challenged by various forms of diarrhoea. The main cause for calf losses during the first two weeks of life is...

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...

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...
