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.

The protein a cow gets comes from two origins: feed protein and microbial protein. Depending on its degradability, a portion of the rumen nutritional protein (RDP) is broken down by certain microorganisms that use nitrogen (and sometimes other elements), carbon chains, hydrogen, oxygen and energy to produce their own protein.

Ghassan I do not think anyone who lives in our world does not know the importance of milk and dairy in the development of human beings.

From my childhood through adolescence, I still remember how my mother gave me and my siblings our daily cup of milk, of course this is apart from the many types of dairy and cheese.

GhassanEdited01 “Violence is a scourge that has threatened the security and safety of communities around the world from ancient times to the present day. Responding to violence with violence has been nothing but fuel for an endless cycle of conflicts, revenge, and destruction.” This topic was revolving in my mind as I returned from one of the largest conferences in the world—the 16th European Poultry Conference in Valencia, Spain—which saw great success at a time when fires rage in Ukraine and Gaza, not to mention Sudan, Yemen, and thirty other countries.
