    Yes, optimizing the electrolyte balance in feed can improve bird performance under heat stress by helping to correct imbalances caused by increased panting, which leads to respiratory alkalosis. Supplementation with electrolytes like sodium (\(Na^{+}\)), potassium (\(K^{+}\)), and chloride (\(Cl^{-}\)) can help maintain physiological acid-base balance, leading to better live performance, including body weight gain and feed conversion ratio

    Using fermented soybean meal (FSBM) in poultry diets is generally a positive approach, as fermentation improves nutrient digestibility, reduces anti-nutritional factors, and enhances gut health. Studies show FSBM can lead to improved amino acid and nutrient digestibility, better feed efficiency, and positive effects on egg production and quality. However, the exact benefits can vary based on the level of inclusion, the fermentation method, and the specific age and breed of the poultry.

    The chick’s liver is fatty in the first 3-4 days after hatching because it’s a period of transition from yolk-based nutrition to consuming carbohydrate-rich feed. During this time, the liver acts as a temporary storage site and continues to metabolize large amounts of lipids from the remaining yolk sac while also beginning the process of de novo lipogenesis (synthesizing new fatty acids). This dual function, combined with an immature digestive system, leads to a temporary accumulation of fat in the liver.

  • – Silo Entry Safety Protocols:
    1. Identify silo as a confined space and restrict access to trained personnel.
  • 2. Test air for oxygen, toxic gases, and combustibles before entry.
  • 3. Ventilate the silo thoroughly before and during entry.
  • 4. Use proper respiratory protection if gases or mold are present.
  • 5. Lockout and tagout all equipment before entry.
  • 6. Wear fall protection gear when working at heights.
  • 7. Never enter alone—always have a standby person outside.
  • 8. Prepare emergency rescue equipment and procedures.
  • 9. Inspect silo structure for damage before entry.
  • – Fumigation Safety Protocols:
  • 1. Evacuate all personnel before fumigation begins.
  • 2. Use only approved fumigants and follow instructions.
  • 3. Seal the silo properly to contain fumigants.
  • 4. Monitor gas levels during and after fumigation.
  • 5. Ventilate thoroughly before re-entry.
  • 6. Confirm safe gas levels before allowing access.
  • 7. Train workers on fumigation hazards and procedures.
  • 8. Keep detailed records of fumigation activities.

    Excellent question. Vaccination and improved husbandry have reduced many infectious pressures, but prudent antimicrobial stewardship remains essential to prevent AMR backsliding. Here are concrete priorities the industry should focus on now and through 2025+:

  • Avoid blunt, year-end bans that remove therapeutic options without alternative disease control — phase changes with technical support.

  • Use outcome-based monitoring (mortality, disease incidence) alongside antibiotic metrics to ensure welfare isn’t compromised.

  • Maintain a clear, documented therapeutic pathway for emergencies that is audited afterwards.

  • Dear Mohamed
    One part is good that you reacts and participates while another part is not so good that you are copying and pasting using technology online, without going through it and without using your own experience.
    Using technology intelligently is also good and productive, you can use some part of that and some of your own.
    Otherwise it is of no use for you as well as broadly for others too.
    I request you to kindly go through what you have posted and see how is it looking, a big mess of presentation in fact.
    Let us make good use of this platform provided by SEC for the benefit of all the professionals.
    If you don’t mind, may I know more about you and your professional involvement in daily routine please.
