How does adenovirus spread?
Adenovirus can be transmitted through eggs to the embryo, and antibodies (Ab) can also be transferred. The virus remains in a latent state in chicks (broilers) until the maternal antibodies are cleared from the body. The virus will then activate under certain conditions, such as toxin exposure or immunosuppressive diseases.

Who among us doesn't enjoy pasta (spaghetti, or thin strings) cooked in various ways (with tomato sauce, yogurt, eggs, cheese, etc.)? However, none of us likes to see these strings or tough white lines in broiler chicken meat (especially in the breast), which often leads to the rejection of such chickens for human consumption in slaughterhouses, causing significant moral losses to the poultry industry, farmers, slaughterhouses, and their associated companies.
In fact, global attention has focused on understanding the increasing incidence of muscle disorders (myopathies) in broiler chickens, a topic that has gained prominence in the early 21st century.

Introduction:
Due to genetic improvements in breeder strains over recent years, it is essential to continuously review nutritional requirements. Both calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) are essential minerals for growth and bone formation, responsible for their hardness and strength. Therefore, accurately estimating calcium and phosphorus requirements is crucial for increasing productivity.
Unlike phosphorus (P), calcium sources are generally inexpensive. Studies have shown that excessive calcium may negatively affect digestion due to the formation of insoluble salts with dietary fatty acids in the intestinal lumen, which may reduce nutrient availability, decrease energy utilization, and reduce growth and feed efficiency. Additionally, excess calcium interferes with the digestion and absorption of trace minerals and interacts with inorganic phosphorus in the digestive tract. Hence, reducing calcium levels can enhance phosphorus utilization.
