Animal husbandry is an important economic and social activity in many societies, playing a vital role in providing food, clothing, and medicines. However, this process requires a set of regulations and laws to ensure the health of animals, food safety, and environmental protection. These regulations vary between countries and regions, but there are common general principles that unite them.

Chickens have been the focus of vertebrate embryology research for several decades, as their embryos are fertilized internally and then accurately loaded into eggs, providing easy access to developmental stages for groundbreaking manipulative experiments. Thanks to many emerging techniques, such as electroporation in vivo, stem cell research tools, innovative methods for genetically modified animals, and accessible genomic sequencing resources, the chick embryo has become a more robust model.
Did you know that chickens have a strong memory and are able to recognize human faces?

This critical phase is very important in the life of laying hens. If not managed properly, it can negatively affect overall health and future egg production. As commercial chickens grow from chicks to hens, their nutritional requirements change. The critical phase in this development is the transition from grower feed to layer feed, which usually occurs between the sixteenth and twentieth week of age, though this period may vary depending on the commercial strain. If this transitional period is not managed correctly, it will adversely affect health and egg production.

Introduction:
Poultry nutrition plays a crucial role in ensuring the health, growth, and productivity of poultry while meeting the increasing demands of the global population. As we look towards the future, there is an urgent need to revolutionize poultry nutrition. To achieve this, we must establish a thriving, sustainable, efficient, and environmentally responsible industry.

Food security is a crucial element in any country's policy, concerning the assurance of adequate food supplies. Conversely, the term "food safety," often applied, refers to keeping undesirable and harmful factors—physical, chemical, and biological—at their lowest levels and as safe as possible. A significant event in recent decades has been the advancement of knowledge regarding food safety and the impact of feed on its security. Acceptable levels of substances and undesirable elements in feed have been identified. Special attention is given to unwanted residues of organic chlorine compounds like dioxins, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and residues of plant protection products that can easily transfer from feed to animal tissues, potentially contaminating animal-derived food products.

Breeding Season in Rabbits
The breeding season for rabbits begins at the end of summer, around early September, when females weigh between 2.5 and 3 kg. Rabbits reach sexual maturity when females are capable of producing eggs and males are able to produce sperm, which typically occurs around 4 months of age. Sexual maturity, or full reproductive capability, is reached by 6 months. Factors affecting the onset of sexual maturity and reproduction include the breed of rabbit, nutritional level, health status, and breeding season. Actual reproductive processes and production then commence.
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.
