The present study aimed to investigate the effect of in ovo feeding of honey on hatchability and post hatch performance of broiler chickens. Chicken embryos were inoculated with 0.5 mL honey (20% diluted) while control group was inoculated with same quantity of normal saline on day-15 of incubation. Upon hatching, day-old chicks of both honey treated and control group were transferred to experimental farm to determine their post hatch growth performance. The results showed that in ovo honey treatment significantly ( P < 0.05) improved the hatchability percentage as well as birth weight of chicks as compared to saline treated group (control). Furthermore, honey administration improved ( P < 0.05) the feed intake, body weight gain and carcass weight, while it improved ( P < 0.05) FCR and reduced mortality in broiler chickens as compared to control group. These results demonstrated that in ovo supplementation of honey had better impact on hatchability and post hatch performance of broiler chickens.","PeriodicalId":15004,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Animal Health and Production","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48813109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Twenty-five individually caged Bali cattle were used in this study, allocated to five treatment groups consisting of five animals in each group following a randomized complete de-sign. The treatments were T1: elephant grass silage 100% + Indigofera sp. 0%; T2: elephant grass silage 70% + Indigofera sp. 30%; T3: elephant grass silage 60% + Indigofera sp. 40%; T4: elephant grass silage 50% + Indigofera sp . 50%; and T5: elephant grass silage 40% + Indigofera sp. 60%. Variables measured were the quality of silage and the performance of Bali cattle fed various dietary treatments. The results showed that the physical characteristics of silage were similar for all treatments. The silage was brown to greenish in colour, had minimum odour from the formation of lactic acid, had solid texture, and was compact. There was no mould growth in the silage, and pH ranged from 3.7 to 4.1. Increasing levels of Indigofera sp. added to elephant grass increased the crude protein content of silage, but decreased the content of ash, acid detergent fibre (ADF), neutral detergent fibre (NDF), cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin by up to 40%. Dry matter intake per kg unit of BW was higher (P < 0.000) in the T2, T3, and T4 diet than in the T1 or T5 diets. The crude protein intake per kg unit of BW was higher (P<0.000) in the T3, T4, T5 diet than T1 and T2. Animals on the T3 diet showed a higher (P < 0.05) daily BW gain followed by the animals on the T4 and T5 diets. It can be concluded that the combination of 60% elephant grass and 40% Indigofera sp. has the best physical and chemical qualities and is able to increase the daily body weight of Bali cattle. highest increase in daily body weight gain of Bali cows.

Semen of Egyptian buffalo bulls (n=5) were pooled and extended with tris (1:10) without addition of antioxidant (E1), or with antioxidants i.e., 0.03 mM CoQ10 (E2), 3.0 mM LC (E3), and 1.0 mM NAC (E4). Then the diluted semen was frozen at -196oC in liquid nitrogen. Results showed that the progressive motility, livability, membrane integrity, and head-head agglutination percentages increased, while sperm abnormality and acrosomal damage decreased by all antioxidant supplements (P<0.05), being the best for E2. Pregnancy rate was higher (P<0.05) for buffalo cows inseminated with semen of E2 and E4 (81.8% for each) versus 72.7 and 63.6% for E3 and E1, respectively.

To satisfy the need for animal protein, synthetic antibiotics were incorporated into broiler chickens’ diets to stimulate growth and rapidly increase production performance. This is a significant problem since the resistance of antimicrobial can be derived from antibiotics’ abusive usage. The antibiotic immunity is of great public health concern because the antibiotic-resistant bacteria linked with the animals may be infective to humans, easily transmitted through food chains to humans, and widely disseminated via animal waste in the environment. These can cause complex, which somehow prolonged human infections leading to higher healthcare costs and often death. There is an urgent need for the agricultural industry to develop strategies to substitute antibiotics for food-producing animals, especially poultry and livestock. Turmeric (Curcuma longa Linn.) is one of the many medicinal herbs promising agricultural products as natural feed additives in poultry diets. It is the primary source of phenolic compounds such as curcumin, bisdemethoxycurcumin, demethoxycurcumin, and tetrahydrocurcuminoids. Several trials of the utilization of turmeric in poultry have been conducted using the in vitro and in vivo methods, and it was found out that turmeric and its derivatives have antimicrobial properties. The use of turmeric powder as feed additives and supplements have been recommended as an alternative to antibiotics for broiler chicken production. The purpose of this review is to discuss the antimicrobial property of turmeric powder and its effect on broiler chicken in terms of performance and meat quality.","PeriodicalId":15004,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Animal Health and Production","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48525144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Eight Mpwapwa bulls aged ≥3 years were selected from 23 bulls which had passed a structural soundness and movement tests based on having the largest SC and used to mate 324 non-pregnant Mpwapwa cows. Mating was conducted in eight groups with each group randomly assigned a single bull. For each bull, data were collected on age, pre-breeding body condition score (BCS) and body weight, SC and total number of cows bred. Based on p<0.25 value in a univariable model with pregnancy rate as the outcome variable, all of the variables except bodyweight were included in a multivariable logistic regression model with pregnancy rate as the outcome variable. Of those variables only pre-breeding BCS was clearly associated with odds of pregnancy. Compared to a bull with a BCS of 3.5, a bull with a BCS of 3.0 had only 0.29 times the odds (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.15 to 0.57) of getting a cow pregnant during the breeding season. For SC, the data were compatible with a small decrease and a moderate increase in the odds of pregnancy (odds ratio for a 1 cm increase in SC was 1.05 (95%CI 0.84 to 1.3)). Further research on the association between SC and pregnancy rate in Mpwapwa bulls is needed, including identifying whether there is an interaction between BCS and SC and their effect on subsequent fertility.","PeriodicalId":15004,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Animal Health and Production","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67444403","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Biofilms are significant contributors to water contamination with pathogens, and aid in the genetic exchange among bacterial populations that cause antibiotic resistance. The study included four-layer chicken houses receiving the same water source: A growing pullet house with iron water pipes and three production layer houses with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) water pipes. Biofilm samples were collected, during February 2020, by swabbing the inner surfaces of drinking water pipes. The heterotrophic bacterial counts were determined. Afterwards, colonies were purified and molecularly identified using the 16S rRNA by PCR test. A total of 31 antimicrobials were used for antibiotic sensitivity testing of the bacterial isolates. In the PVC pipes, more bacterial densities were found than in the iron pipes (2×10 19 and 2×10 12 colony forming units/ml, respectively). Pseudomonas , Enterococcus , Staphylococcus , and Sphingopyxis were identified from iron pipes, while Acinetobacter , Pseudomonas , and Bacillus were confirmed from PVC pipes. Multidrug resistance to at least three antibiotic groups was identified in 67% of the isolates. Staphylococcus , Enterococci , Sphingopyxis , Bacillus , and Acinetobacter were found to be originated from water sources highly contaminated with antibiotics overuse. While all Pseudomonas strains originated from water environments free from antibiotics contamination. In terms of bacterial density and antibiotic resistance patterns, biofilms possess a significant role in harboring and disseminating pathogenic strains leading to production problems in poultry. So, programs for the prevention and control of biofilm buildup in poultry drinking systems are required.","PeriodicalId":15004,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Animal Health and Production","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67445214","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
