By Dr Turki SarakbiCaptivity (suppression) of the immune system in poultry feed and rations is often caused by mycotoxins. Mycotoxicosis refers to various clinical syndromes in birds that result from consuming feed contaminated with fungal "toxins." Different immune responses, whether cellular or humoral, are affected by fungal "toxins" present in animal rations. Specifically in poultry production, these fungal toxins through their wrapping, evasion, and impact on immune organs like the spleen, bursa of Fabricius, and thymus, reduce antibody responses to vaccines and disrupt humoral immune responses as an inevitable consequence of feed contamination with fungal toxins, even at concentrations lower than those required to cause clinical signs of mycotoxicosis.

Heat stress poses a significant threat that can lead to substantial financial losses for the poultry industry in many regions worldwide. Unfortunately, we lack precise figures on the cost of heat stress losses in the Middle East and North Africa. However, some estimates suggest its cost exceeds $100 million annually. In 2023, the economic losses for the poultry industry in the United States were estimated to be between $128 million and $165 million.

The Mycoplasma microbe is considered one of the most dangerous respiratory microbes that infect chickens, because this microbe is neither a bacteria nor a virus, but rather combines characteristics of both, as it is not surrounded by a cell wall like bacteria.

ISOQUINOLINE ALKALOIDS SUPPORT BROILERS UNDER HEAT STRESS
by Dr. Anja Pastor, Phytobiotics Futterzusatzstoffe GmbH, Germany
Modern, highly productive poultry breeds are susceptible to heat stress. This, in combination with rising global temperatures, poses a challenge for the poultry industry.
Plant-based nutritional solutions provide the opportunity to stabilize broiler chickens during heat stress periods.
The fast growth rate of modern broiler breeds offers many advantages – for instance, a resource-friendly production due to an improved feed conversion ratio (FCR) and shorter production periods. The downside of this boosted metabolic activity is a minimized tolerance to heat stress. This is further eroded by the fact that poultry per se are susceptible to high temperatures due a high body mass to body surface area ratio, as well as a lack of sweat glands on the skin and their insulating feathers.

Breeding Geese by:Rafea Taher Muhammad Khalil - Iraq
Singular (goose) and plural (Geese) is a genus of waterfowl belonging to the same family as ducks (anatidae). Some excavations indicate that it was present in some regions of Italy thousands of years before Christ. I also found some Pharaonic images that represent geese, which indicates that it has been domesticated for a long time in old Egypt.

Eco-friendly practices in fish farming:reducing the ecological footprint by:Dr Ahmed Khrissat - Jordan
Briefly; fish farming is a fast-growing industry, with global production expected to exceed 100 million tons by 2030. While fish farming provides a sustainable and efficient way to meet the increasing demand for seafood, it can also have a significant impact on the environment. Intensive production methods used in fish farming can lead to waterways pollution, overuse of resources such as water and energy, and the use of chemicals and antibiotics can harm the environment and human health.

Powdered Eggs by:Dr Tamim Al Shahneh - Syria
Briefly, powdered eggs, an ancient term referring to eggs in a completely dried form, similar to powdered milk, offer several advantages and diverse uses. They have an extended shelf life, lasting 5-10 years when stored without oxygen in a cool environment. Powdered eggs do not require refrigeration due to the pasteurization process during production. They are pathogen-free, making them safe for raw consumption in certain products like mayonnaise.

How do Fungal Toxins Suppress the Immune System of Poultry Against Infectious Diseases? by: Dr Turki Sarakbi - Yemen
One of the most immunosuppressive elements that can be found in poultry feed is mycotoxins. Mycotoxicosis is the term used to describe various clinical syndromes in birds resulting from the consumption of feed contaminated with fungal toxins. Both cellular and humoral immune responses can be affected by the presence of fungal toxins in animal diets. Specifically in poultry production, mycotoxins interfere with and impair immune organs such as the spleen, thymus, and bursa of Fabricius, reducing the antibody response to vaccines and disrupting fungal-specific immune responses as an inevitable consequence of chicken feed contamination with fungal toxins, even at concentrations lower than those required to induce clinical toxicosis.

Holistic Approach by: Eng. Ahmed Al-Sakout - Egypt
In summary, CPBIO cherishes the main benefits it offers to a beneficial microbiome for the competitive exclusion of pathogens or even its capability to boost the immune system, including the mucosal layer, and intestinal immune cells.
Microorganisms also produce energy and nutrients such as vitamins, amino acids and short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) with pathogenic bacteria-fighting properties capable of killing foodborne pathogens such as Salmonella spp.

Organic acids, particularly short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) like butyric acid, foster optimal gut health. They can significantly contribute to the improved productivity of aging laying hens, enabling farmers to depend on their performance and extend their laying phase ensuring that at the same time the well-being of the animal. ProPhorce™ SR 130, a butyric acid ester product, shows great improvements in performance of older laying hens.

Pay Attention to the Source of Limestone and its Calcium Content in Poultry Feed by: Dr. Mohammad Al Zawkari and Dr. Jihad Al Jouaifari
In summary, limestone is used in poultry feed as a source of calcium (Ca). The formulation of the feed often depends on estimating the calcium content of limestone, but unfortunately, the results of the analysis of ready-made sources are relied upon, while there are differences in the actual content of limestone.

Important Points in the Practical Management of Farms - by: Ahmad Kamal l Sayed – Egypt
In this article, the writer talks about the main essential points that we should pay attention to in farms such as lighting, feed, weight, testing, etc…
At the end he sheds light on a very important note which is the following: It is preferable to weigh the eggs individually, i.e. each egg by itself, using a sensitive scale (grams) once a week...and to homogenize the eggs and know the percentage of eggs in each slice.

In the hatchery itself there is never a direct reason to apply antibiotics, as the chicks do not stay here for any length of time. If antibiotics are applied (in-ovo or by injection after hatch) this is done preventively to avoid disease problems or for potential benefits at the farm where the day-old-chicks will be delivered. Furthermore, on the farm itself antibiotics can be administered by feed or drinking water as a preventive measure or as a growth promotor.
