The poultry market is expected to increase by 17.8 % by 2030, with poultry meat consisting of 41 % of the global meat market (FAO, 2023). The demand for poultry is driven by its affordability and nutritional content (FAO,...
Breeder age significantly influences egg quality traits and subsequent embryonic development (Machado et al., 2020; Nasri et al., 2020; Zita et al., 2022). The composition of eggs at oviposition and oxygen concentration (O2) during incubation are crucial factors affecting...
Dr. Sophie Kernéis-Golsteyn is the principal investigator for research examining the effectiveness of natural phytobiotics, plant-based alternatives to antibiotics, to protect chickens against Avian Pathogenic E. coli (APEC) bacteria. The 2.5-year, $80,000 project, which will be carried out in...
Georgia’s College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences are using molecular genetics to determine how pastured and free-range chickens influence the ecosystem on farms where crops and livestock are raised together.
Supported by a $749,000 grant from the U.S. Department of...

Six University of Guelph researchers have received over $3 million from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) through the Canadian Poultry Research Council (CPRC) to explore novel approaches to improving poultry health and food safety.
These contributions will fund eight separate...
USPOULTRY and the USPOULTRY Foundation announce the completion of a funded research project by researchers from the University of Arkansas that worked to develop a multispecies bacterial vaccine for the protection against bacterial chondronecrosis with osteomyelitis (BCO) lameness for...
DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM
Nowadays, the growth and production of broilers is a crucial source of meat. Many years of genetic selection resulted in the rapid growth of modern breeds of broiler chickens in a short period. Commercial breeding programs, balanced...
USPOULTRY and the USPOULTRY Foundation announce the completion of a funded research project by researchers at the University of Nebraska – Lincoln that identified virulent from avirulent strains of Enterococcus faecalis isolates. The research is part of the Association’s...
The nutritional quality of poultry feed is critical for bird health and productivity, with feed components like fructose directly impacting metabolic function and growth rates. Precise fructose analysis enables the formulation of balanced diets, supporting optimal nutritional intake for...
