Enzymes are required in animal feed to improve nutrient digestibility and availability, especially for compounds that animals cannot efficiently break down on their own, such as phytic acid, non-starch polysaccharides, starch, protein, and fats. By breaking down these complex components, enzymes increase feed efficiency, reduce production costs, enhance animal growth and health, and decrease waste and anti-nutritional factors in the environment.

Loose droppings occur during heat stress because the body increases water intake and sweating to cool down, which can dehydrate the body and cause gastrointestinal disturbances. In poultry, heat stress also leads to less eating, more drinking, and a compromised intestinal lining that impairs water absorption, resulting in watery feces..

To increase egg production, focus on balanced feed with essential nutrients (calcium, protein, vitamins, minerals) and ensure high-quality, continuous water availability. For environmental management, maintain optimal temperature (around 13-23°C), ensure good ventilation for clean air and reduced ammonia, and provide proper lighting with consistent day length and intensity to regulate laying cycles.

Ammonia, chlorocresol, caustic soda, and formaldehyde are effective chemical agents that can destroy Eimeria oocysts in poultry litter when used in sufficient concentrations. Exposure to high temperatures (above 55°C) or freezing also kills the oocyst.

Important aspects of biosecurity include controlling access to prevent the entry of pests and diseases, managing animal health through quarantine and vaccination, ensuring operational hygiene like cleaning and disinfection, controlling the movement of animals and materials, and maintaining a documented plan with designated zones and staff training.

Maintain optimal temperatures (13–23°C), provide adequate and consistent lighting, ensure good ventilation to prevent respiratory issues, and keep nesting areas clean and comfortable.

Different vaccination routes in birds are chosen for a vaccine’s type, the desired immune response, bird age, and practicality for mass production, influencing the way titres (antibody levels) develop by targeting different immune tissues.

To reduce heat stress in broilers during summer, use a multi-faceted approach involving ventilation, water management, and feeding adjustments,

does sour taste also depends on grain feeding or acidosis?
