Feed Enzymes – Their Benefit
The use of feed or exogenous enzymes in poultry diets has found widespread commercial acceptance as a strategy to improve nutrient utilization, performance and uniformity, and reduce feed cost and nutrient excretion.

Current Approaches to Feeding Breeders
Generations of selection have led to incredible changes in the potential for growth of broiler chickens. Selection for traits such as rapid growth and enhanced breast muscle mass has been accompanied by an increase in voluntary feed intake

Vocalization and Stress
Dr. Dolittle famously walked and talked with the animals. Poultry scientists can’t do that with chickens – yet. But they are learning how to interpret what chickens are “saying” about stressors in their environment.

On-Farm Composting
With changes to deadstock removal requirements and loss of rendering facilities, farmers are looking at on-farm disposal options.

Climate Controlled Trailer
A climate-controlled trailer developed at the University of Saskatchewan is designed to reduce the temperature related stress and maintain meat quality.

Encapsulated Lysozyme Can Replace Antibiotics
February 19, 2010 – Vancouver-based EnWave Corporation has completed successful poultry feeding trials with dried lysozyme, a natural anti-microbial enzyme, to determine whether it can be used as a replacement for antibiotics in chicken feed.

From the Editor: December 2009
The discovery of H1N1 in an Ontario turkey breeder flock in mid-October provided Hybrid Turkeys with a valuable lesson – that when it comes to disease, human health concerns trump agriculture. It was also a good reminder to everyone in the poultry industry that humans continue to be a significant threat to birds when it comes to introducing disease into the barn.

Neonatal Nutrition
The growth performance and meat yield of commercial turkeys has improved linearly each year with greater input efficiency.1,2 This trend will likely continue in the future as new technologies in genetics, biotechnology, and developmental biology are introduced and adopted by the poultry industry. As the time it takes meat birds to achieve market size decreases, the period of embryonic development becomes a greater proportion of a bird’s life.
