Interaction Effects between Sender and Receiver Processes in Transmission of Campylobacter
Dutch research has revealed that acidification of the drinking water can reduce the transmission of C. jejuni between birds. The treatment is equally effective when applied to the sender or receiver groups but there was a significant negative interaction...

French Study Investigates Cage Hygiene, Laying Location and Egg Quality
New research from France indicates that eggs laid in the nest boxes of furnished cages were cleaner – both visually and microbiologically – when the nests were lined with a plastic mesh than with artificial turf. Eggs laid in the pecking/scratching...
