Poultry is one of the main sources of protein in the United States and in 2014 Americans ate approximately 100 lbs per person. However, consumption of poultry products is strongly associated with foodborne illness from Campylobacter. In the first study, chitosan, caprylic acid and their combination were evaluated as a coating treatment for the reduction of Campylobacter jejuni on poultry products. For the initial screening trials, chitosan of three different molecular weights (15-50 kDa, 190-310 kDa and 400-600 kDa) was evaluated at three concentrations (0.5%, 1.0%, 2.0%) and separately, caprylic acid was tested at 0.5%, 1.0% and 2.0% using chicken …

Sara Shields, PhD
Prior to slaughter, most farmed birds move through a constant-voltage, multiple- bird, electrical water-bath stun system. Using this system subjects live birds to stressful and painful shackling, and the potential exists for them to receive prestun electric shocks and induction of seizures while still conscious. The existing elec- trical water-bath stunner settings, particularly those used in U.S. slaughter plants, are not necessarily based on sound scientific data that they produce a consistent, immediate stun, and research indicates that they are not effective in all birds. Further, in multiple-bird, electrical water-bath systems, birds may miss the stunner completely. Evidence suggests that …

Cooperative Extension - Agriculture
Written for small-scale poultry producers. University specialists, Extension educators, and agriculture service providers from New England and New York developed this list of Best Management Practices to assist small-scale poultry growers to provide the best of care for their birds, minimize losses due to disease and predation, as well as minimizing the impact on the environment while assuring a high quality, wholesome product for their family and customers.

Evaluación De La Actividad De Enfermedades Virales En Explotaciones De Ponedoras Comerciales De Fómeque, Cundinamarca, Andrés Felipe Santander Torres
Maestría en Ciencias Veterinarias
Mundialmente el sector avícola ha sido de gran importancia tanto en su impacto en seguridad alimentaria como en sus aportes para el desarrollo económico. En los últimos 20 años el sector avícola se ha consolidado en una de las producciones más dinámica dentro de Colombia. Sin embargo este desarrollo se puede afectar por la presentación de enfermedades infecciosas, es por esto que se pretende evaluar la actividad de enfermedades virales en explotaciones de ponedoras comerciales de Fómeque Cundinamarca. Se realizó la toma de muestras a la mitad y al final del periodo de cría y levante de las ponedoras, con …
