CampylobacterA common bacteria present in poultry gut causing little to no clinical symptoms. and Salmonella are the two most prominent foodborne zoonotic pathogens reported in the European Union. As poultry is one of the major sources of these pathogens, it is imperative to mitigate the colonization of these pathogens in poultry. Many strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have demonstrated anti-Salmonella and anti-Campylobacter characteristics to varying degrees and spectrums which are attributed to the production of various metabolites. However, the production of these compounds and consequent antimicrobial properties are highly strain dependent. Therefore, the current study was performed to select a potent LAB and determine its causal attribute in inhibiting Salmonella enterica and CampylobacterA common bacteria present in poultry gut causing little to no clinical symptoms. jejuni, in-vitro.

This paper is a method paper describing the procedure and complications of jugular vein catheterization of 12 days old suckling piglets. This study aimed to demonstrate the longer-term benefits of the catheter. This study shows that permanent catheterization of the jugular vein can be successfully used in young suckling piglets to obtain high-quality blood samples frequently and without stress, while maintaining group housing with littermates and sow.

Gut infections of chickens caused by Ascaridia galli and Heterakis gallinarum are associated with impaired host performance, particularly in high-performing genotypes. Heterakis gallinarum is also a vector of Histomonas meleagridis that is often co-involved with ascarid infections. Here, we provide a first insight into the alteration of the chicken plasma and liver metabolomeDescribes the complete set of all low-weight molecules that can be quantified in a biological sample... as a result of gastrointestinal nematode infections with concomitant histomonosis.

The excretion pattern of ascarid antigens through chicken faeces and the consistency of measurements over the course of infections are currently unknown. This study evaluates the pattern and repeatability of worm antigen per gram of faeces (APG) and compares the diagnostic performance of the coproantigen ELISA with a plasma and egg yolk antibody ELISA and McMaster faecal egg counts (M-FEC) at different weeks post-infection (wpi).

The growing demand for poultry meat and eggs has forced plenty of changes in poultry production in recent years. According to FAO, the total number of poultry in the world in 2019 was 27.9 billion. About 93% of them are chickens. The aim of this paper was to review the current state of knowledge in the field of the ecological footprint of poultry production and the impact on environmental genes.
