What are the permitted preservatives in milk?
-
Allowed preservatives vary by region and use, but common options include potassium sorbate, benzoic acid, calcium propionate, and natamycin for processed products like cheese and yogurt. In some contexts, nisin (a bacteriocin) and lactoferrin are also permitted, and traditional natural preservatives like salt or sugar may be used. Formalin is sometimes used only for the preservation of milk for analytical purposes in places like India, but is not a consumer product.

There isn’t a single, definitive number of main soy food types, but they can be categorized into major groups: unfermented (like edamame, tofu, and soymilk) and fermented (like miso, tempeh, and soy sauce). Other common forms include processed soy products like soy protein isolate, soy nuts, and soy flour.

The most effective feed additives for improving FCR in broiler chickens include antibiotics, probiotics, enzymes, and organic additives. These additives help in the digestion and absorption of nutrients in the feed, which helps the chicken gain weight faster.

Vertically transmitted diseases in poultry include bacterial infections like Pullorum disease (
gallinarum biovar Pullorum) and other Salmonella species, Mycoplasma infections like Mycoplasma gallisepticum, and viral diseases such as avian encephalomyelitis (AE), avian leukosis virus (ALV), and chicken anemia virus (CAV). These diseases spread from the breeder to the offspring through the egg or semen, leading to high mortality rates in young birds

To keep chickens cool during extreme heat, provide ample shade, ensure excellent ventilation with fans if possible, and offer constant access to cool, fresh water with ice. Supplement these measures by misting the coop area, providing moist dirt for dust baths, and feeding cooling treats like frozen fruits or vegetables while limiting protein-rich feed

Emerging poultry diseases include novel viral infections like Astrovirus causing fatal gout in goslings, diverse Avian Gyroviruses, and re-emerging threats such as certain strains of Avian Influenza, Newcastle disease, and Infectious Bronchitis.
