Amino Acid Requirements of Broiler Breeders at Peak Production
In three experiments, a team of North American researchers estimated the amino acid requirements of broiler breeders at peak production for egg mass, body weight and fertility. Among their recommendations is that lysine and isoleucine should be provided...

Egg Production Performance of the Local Kabyle Hen and its Crossbreeds with ISA-Brown Strain in Semi-Intensive Conditions
Compared to the Kabyle (the local breed in Algeria), a line crossed with an ISA-Brown had better egg production and egg quality, according to new research. The scientists warned that, for the crossbreeding to be sustainable, a plan to conserve the native...

Method of Administration Affects the Ability of Bacteriophage to Prevent Colibacillosis in Day-old Broiler Chickens
Bacteriophages can be effective to control colibacillosis in young chickens but they need to be administered so that high titres are present at the site of the bacterial infection, according to new research from the University of Arkansas....
