On the lookout for pathogen threats: Salmonella and E. coli in the poultry industry - Dr. Tim Johnson
“Despite our best efforts, we haven't been able to totally get rid of Salmonella and E. Coli. You can work really hard to do that, but as soon as you accomplish your goal, another threat will come right in."
Maximizing broiler performance: the importance of the physical quality of feed - Dr. Kelley Wamsley
"In general, feed quality is pretty bad in the industry, right? There's a variety of factors playing heavily against having really high feed quality".
Breaking down barriers: the use of phytase on poultry - Dr. Michael Bedford
“What's really changed is that the efficacy of the phytases along with their ability to release phosphorus and calcium have improved, so we're seeing a better release of these nutrients from phytic acid”
