The problem of 'wet litter', which occurs primarily in grow-out sheds for meat chickens
(broilers), has been recognised for nearly a century. Nevertheless, it is an increasingly …

Odour emissions from meat chicken sheds can at times cause odour impacts on surrounding
communities. Litter is seen as the primary source of this odour. Formation and emission of …

The effects of feed form and the inclusion of insoluble fiber in the diet on growth performance
and water intake were studied in female broilers from 0 to 21 d of age. The experimental …

Increasing the structural components in the diet, namely through including coarse grain
particles in diets and manipulating the dietary fibre composition, has been shown to improve …

Poultry grown on litter floors are in contact with their own waste products. The waste material
needs to be carefully managed to reduce food safety risks and to provide conditions that are …

The effects of including 3% sunflower hulls (SFH) in the diet on growth performance, nutrient
retention (TTAR), and gastrointestinal tract (GIT) traits were studied in chicks from zero to 21 …

Simple Summary The health status of pets may be affected by infectious agents transmitted
through the feed. The close coexistence between humans and animals makes the safety …

The effect of ratio of oats with hulls (OWH) to dehulled oats (DO), extent of grinding, and their
interaction on the performance, gizzard characteristics and intestinal health of broilers …

The gastrointestinal tract provides the biological environment for nutrient digestion and
absorption. Its physical and chemical barriers are crucial to protect from invading pathogens …
