All steps are critical like-RM received, RM storage, batching, grinding, mixing, pelleting, cooling, packing, FG moisture content & finally delivery.

Nutrition profoundly influences the poultry immune response by supplying essential vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and fatty acids that build and maintain immune cells and tissues. Deficiencies impair immune cell function and barrier integrity, increasing disease susceptibility. Key nutrients like vitamins A, D, E, C, and minerals such as zinc, selenium, and manganese are crucial for epithelial integrity, antioxidant defense, T-cell activation, and antibody production. Furthermore, functional nutrients like probiotics, prebiotics, essential fatty acids, and phytogenics can positively modulate the gut microbiota, enhance gut health, and stimulate immune responses.

The critical steps in feed milling include receiving and storing raw materials, cleaning them, batching and mixing ingredients according to a formula, grinding the mixture to a uniform particle size, conditioning the mash with heat and moisture, pelletizing it into desired shapes, cooling the pellets for stability, and finally, packaging the finished feed. Throughout the process, maintaining strict quality control, equipment hygiene, and proper storage conditions is essential to ensure the feed’s safety and nutritional value.

Pale or milky chicken poop is an indication of feed digestion problems.

bacillary white diarrhea (pullorum), stress, coccidial, viral or fungal infections.

[AHMED]

Green Chicken Droppings: Can indicate bacterial infections, parasites, liver diseases, or an improper diet.

Blue Chicken Droppings: Blue droppings in chickens can be caused by colored food or kidney problems.

Light Brown Poultry Droppings: Can indicate dehydration or digestive problems.

[Dr Neha]

Green colour dropping – due to prolong starvation, viral diseases- ND, liver dysfunction -factors leading to excess bile secretion.

Yellow droppings- liver dysfunction, bacterial infection, poor digestion

Red/Blood in dropping – coccidiosis

Orange colour dropping- Dysbacteriosis or due to irritation in intestinal lining

From traditional methodologies we moved to professional with advanced technologies adaptation which also continued advancing further with further mechanization. Now as in this new era however limited but incorporation as well as adaptation of Smart sensors, AI technology, IoT, mobile dashboards increasing. I would like to understand views of pool of professionals in this group,
1. How important is it to have these latest devices and technological supports?
2. What role do they play and helps farmer, investor?
3. Cost Benefit Analysis in brief out of knowledge and experience?
Anything more is welcomed but looking forward for multiple participation with covering briefly, we can always expand further if required?
