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...

Understanding the dangers of mycotoxins for 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. As the producers of hatching eggs and day-old chicks, breeding hens are the backbone of the poultry industry. Hence...

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...

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...
