Generally, light-weight breeds are more heat tolerant than heavy breeds.

Some of the light weight breeds are Minorca, Aseel, Ancona, Leghorn, Naked neck etc

Native chicken breeds tolerate well than broiler/layer strains used for commercial production

There most improvement provided the nutrition content of the pellets or crumbles is within expectation.

Passive immunization or serum therapy is generally not considered as safe or feasible in poultry as-

1. Provides short duration of protection

2. Risk of transmitting other pathogens

3. Difficulties in collecting & standardising adequate serum quantities from birds

Hi Samuel,

Salmonellosis is a persistent pathogen across all livestock rearing. In fact in a broiler study, it has been observed that at a specific dose of salmonella, birds no longer mount an immune response and Salmonells becomes a commensal in the microflora. This is called as Tolerogenic response. This has especially been observed with S.enteriditis & S. typhymurium. This is highly alarming as presence of Samonella in livestock or livestock products compromises food safety.

There are a lot of measures through which Salmonella can be controlled viz, Biosecurity, Sanitation, exclusion of animal by products in feed, Antibiotics, synbiotics as well as vaccine. However the best method suited to you should be decided by you based on the variables in your farm.

Have you noticed performance changes in broilers when switching from mash to pellet or crumble diets?
