In Australia, the availability of feed ingredients such as corn and soy for poultry nutrition can be limited and expensive due to their dependence on imports, forcing them to use local ingredients, which often increase the cost of diets. Dr. Amy Moss, an Australian postdoctoral researcher at the University of New England, has led a pioneering initiative investigating processes for the efficient use of food waste in poultry diets. These diets were primarily formulated with multiple sources of food waste, including waste from hospitals and nursing homes, restaurant waste, beer grains, as well as leftover fruits, vegetables, and fish from local markets. In this episode, you can check out the performance results, the main challenges, barriers, and the complete picture of this strategy that promises to significantly reduce the costs of feeding the birds.

"We ended up acquiring a specialized machine that rapidly heats the product, accomplishing this within 10 seconds and reaching extremely high temperatures. However, it operates so swiftly that the fats and moisture surrounding the protein act as a protective barrier, preventing protein degradation."

One of the primary aspects of the welfare of laying hens is the living conditions in which they are raised. In recent years, there has been increased awareness of the importance of providing hens with adequate space and enriched environments, so alternatives to cage-based housing (such as cage-free, free-range, and enriched colony housing) have emerged. These systems encourage the natural behavior of hens by offering them more space and resources, such as perches and nesting areas. In this episode, Dr. Tina Widowski discusses her current research on the topic along with different aspects of these non-cage systems, as well as the responses of the birds to them and their behavioral needs.

“Nesting, foraging, perching, and dust bathing: those are the things that we try to accommodate in any kind of welfare-friendly system, while at the same time keeping the animals healthy.” - Dr. Tina Widowski

The poultry industry faces a constant and significant threat from pathogens. Infections caused by bacteria, viruses, and parasites result in decreases in production, higher mortality rates, and substantial economic losses in poultry. Thus, a better understanding of bird microbiota, antimicrobial resistance biology, and alternatives to antimicrobials is necessary to safeguard the health and welfare of the flocks. It is also essential to understand the ecology of pathogens in order to prevent human illnesses and better manage them on farms. In this episode, Dr. Tim Johnson discusses relevant research on such a topic, particularly Salmonella and E. coli.

When it comes to poultry, the physical quality of feed is a critical factor for optimizing broiler performance, because feed particle and nutrient distribution can affect growth and efficiency. Thus, we can enhance the profitability of the flock by improving the physical quality of the feed, increasing nutrient intake, and reducing feed waste. However, to achieve those goals, we need to carefully take into consideration factors such as feed formulation, processing, and distribution. In this episode, Dr. Kelley Wamsley discusses ongoing research on the topic, aimed to maximize broiler performance based on those many aspects.

"In general, feed quality is pretty bad in the industry, right? There's a variety of factors playing heavily against having really high feed quality". – Dr. Kelley Wamsley

Mycotoxins are often present in poultry diets and can pose a significant challenge. That is because co-occurrence of mycotoxins reduces the tolerance levels of individual mycotoxins; in other words, multiple mycotoxins in poultry feed, even at subclinical levels, can exacerbate mycotoxin pathology and lead to necrotic enteritis. In this episode, Dr. Revathi Shanmugasundaram discusses her research on how mycotoxins, particularly fumonisins and deoxynivalenol, interact with foodborne pathogens in poultry and affect the health of the animals.

“We want to know what's the lowest concentration of mycotoxins that will not affect production performance and that will not cause bacterial infections or subclinical diseases.” - Dr. Revathi Shanmugasundaram

The poultry industry is complex and full of challenges – farmers have to constantly go up against new hurdles. So what can we do to make the most of what we have? Guaranteeing that we're doing the basics should be the first and last thing on our minds. For example, a healthy poultry house requires adequate ventilation, since ammonia can harm birds but proper litter management reduces its levels. Also, the ventilation system of a poultry house controls temperature, humidity, and air quality as well. In this episode, Michael Czarick provides excellent practical advice on poultry house management aimed at ensuring the maintenance of the flock. Furthermore, he discusses the importance of university extension positions for bridging the gap between academic research and practical application of new knowledge in different fields, based on his experience as a poultry extensionist.

"We need to work a lot harder on the way we get the ventilation conditions right in between flocks. If you wait until the chicks show off to start thinking about ventilation, you've already missed the point." - Michael Czarick

Calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) play vital roles in various physiological processes in poultry, including bone and feather growth, muscle contractions, and energy metabolism. Bearing that in mind, it is important to consider that feed type and form, along with the presence of other dietary components, can alter the absorption of P and Ca from the GIT. Thus, predicting the requirements of birds for P and Ca requires considering several factors, including species, age, physiological stage, and feed type. In this episode, Dr. Marie-Pierre Létourneau Montminy shares her expertise in predicting the destination of P and Ca in the GIT and body of birds in order to determine the appropriate requirements.

“We have to be precise about Ca and P requirements as well as about the value of feedstuff”. - Dr. Marie-Pierre Létourneau Montminy

The focus of research on diseases lies primarily on the immune response to infection and pathogenesis. That is because pathogens often affect the metabolism of their hosts by targeting their immune systems, both of which are extensively intertwined. So to better understand disease pathogenesis and potential interventions, we need to study diseases from the perspective of immunometabolism. During this episode, Dr. Ryan Arsenault discusses immunometabolism and disease pathogenesis, focusing on necrotic enteritis and Salmonella infections. Additionally, he highlights the importance of maintaining good performance and animal health.

It is common sense that the US and the European poultry industries are quite different. In the US poultry industry, eggs are often sent to large hatcheries; in other words, they are transported to other farms for hatching. On the other hand, we observe on-farm hatching in Europe, which involves raising poultry for both egg and meat production on the same farm. On-farm hatching in Europe is characterized by a focus on animal welfare, a smaller scale of production, and a more localized and sustainable approach. In this episode, Dr. Hilde Van Meirhaeghe shares her experience as a vet consultant in an Europe setting and discusses the main differences between the poultry industries, delving into on-farm hatching and early feeding procedures.

“When it comes to on-farm hatching, the big advantage is that as soon as the chicks are born, they can eat and drink whenever they’re ready for it.” - Dr. Hilde Van Meirhaeghe

The overuse of antibiotics has led to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in poultry production. However, there are some additives, like probiotics and prebiotics, which can be used as alternatives to reduce the need for antibiotics. In that sense, how can we determine if feed additives are helpful for birds? Simply put, maintaining a healthy gut is crucial for the overall well-being of poultry, since it leads to better growth and immunity. That means that developing models to induce intestinal inflammation and thus test different nutraceuticals (probiotics, prebiotics, organic acids, enzymes, essential oils, and phytobiotics) with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties can help us on that matter. In this episode, Dr. Tellez-Isais discusses his work regarding the search for solutions for pathogens by developing probiotics and other feed additives through models that evaluate intestinal inflammation and biomarkers that measure the effectiveness of nutraceuticals.

"We've developed different models, which allow us to induce intestinal inflammation, and biomarkers, so we can measure whether a nutraceutical is effective in any of these different models." - Dr. Guillermo Tellez-Isaias

The purpose of broiler and breeder nutrition and management is to ensure that the birds receive adequate nutrition and care as to support optimal growth and production. It can include selecting appropriate feeds, formulating diets, implementing feeding and watering systems, and monitoring the health and welfare of the birds. In order to perform those processes, statistical and computational techniques are used in data analysis to extract insights and inform decision-making. Indeed, data analytics in broiler and breeder production can optimize nutrition and management practices, monitor performance, and identify patterns, and that’s what Dr. Oviedo-Rondon discusses in this episode. He talks about broiler and breeder production, how to enhance it (primarily through nutrition), and the advent of data analytics to support those improvements in the poultry industry.

The quality of chicken meat is an important factor for the poultry industry and its consumers. In that sense, defects are a common concern, and they include white striping, woody breast, and spaghetti meat – which can affect the texture and tenderness, key aspects, and decrease the value of the product. Such defects are caused by muscle abnormalities that may occur during the growth and development of chickens. There is a possible solution, however: breaded chicken, such as chicken nuggets, can be a tasty, convenient, and cost-effective alternative to those meat defects. That’s the main topic of today’s episode, in which Dr. Casey Owens discusses the challenges and possible opportunities when it comes to chicken meat quality.

Dealing with extensive housing systems for laying hens is no easy task, and changing the production system is just as hard. Lately, we’ve been seeing some movement towards conversion from conventional systems to alternative cage-free systems for laying hens, which has been driven by attempts by the industry to answer new consumer demands and behavior changes. To achieve that goal, we must consider the differences involved in the production lines, and the nutrition, health, and behavior of birds, not to mention the cost of all of that. In this episode, Dr. Darrin Karcher discusses some of the main aspects involved in transitioning systems in the egg production of laying hens. He also talks about creating new education programs for the industry to strengthen poultry production.

“Industry is doing a good job of trying to make the best decisions with the information they have right now to move forward with the transition to extensive housing systems for layers.” - Dr. Darrin Karcher

The standard method for assessing fertility involves counting the sperm penetration holes in the inner perivitelline layer or measuring sperm mobility. However, little is known about the proteins involved in either assessment. Nutrition is also an important aspect of poultry reproduction, and feed restriction has been successful in improving broiler breeders' reproductive efficiency. In this episode, I talk with Dr. Benson about improving reproductive performance and welfare in broiler breeders. This can be done through the identification of certain potential proteins associated with sperm motility and also through certain feeding strategies. We also discuss different approaches to recruit new students into poultry.

“If there's anything that can be improved with our broilers, it's their reproductive fitness” - Dr. Andrew Benson

There are many differences between backyard poultry operations and commercial poultry systems. Backyard poultry can include pets as well as animals as a food source – such as eggs – and diseases can be introduced into the flock in many ways that are unnoticed by the owner. And besides, it’s often a challenge for backyard growers to recognize and associate different clinical signs with different diseases. Consequently, a good poultry diagnostician working in that sector must educate their customers and promote small flock health and preventive care. In today’s episode, Dr. Karen Grogan has a great conversation with Dr. Hailey Quercia about some of her findings on health challenges in small flocks. Dr. Quercia also shares her experience as Laboratory Director and Avian Diagnostician at the Harrisonburg Regional Animal Health Laboratory (Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services).

"Even if you have an entire library of tests but you’re not sure what to pursue and what would be effective, it can be a waste of clients’ money.” - Dr. Hailey Quercia

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻:

Health challenges in small flocks throughout the years
Recognizing Marek's disease in small flocks
Services for backyard owners in Virginia

𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁: Dr. Hailey Quercia’s interest in poultry began when raising chickens, ducks, and geese, which also piqued her interest in population level animal health. It was only after shadowing a mixed animal practitioner that she realized there were veterinary careers that focus on population medicine, and she decided to become a large animal veterinarian. After receiving her DVM from the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine, she was undecided on whether to focus on dairy, poultry, or pathology, but finally chose to become a poultry diagnostician. She thus earned a Master’s on and did a residency in avian pathology at Auburn University, subsequently accepting the position of Laboratory Director and Avian Diagnostician at the Harrisonburg Regional Animal Health Laboratory (Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services).

Keeping humans and nature in harmony is what sustainability is all about. Furthermore, there has been a broad discussion regarding sustainable production, net zero emissions, and the use of antibiotics and water in animal production. Consequently, we must consider the environmental impact of animal production activities and the challenges of implementing environmentally friendly alternatives to the animal production system. Would that become a conventional production instead of a niched production? How economically sustainable is it for the animal producers? In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. Ermias Kebreab about these sustainability challenges in animal production. I also talk about what we can expect for the following years in terms of changes in animal production systems.
