Evaluation of the Antioxidant Status of Ethanolic Extract of Hypericum perforatum and Its Effect on Performance, Immune System, Antioxidant Status and Plasma Biochemical Indices of Broiler Chickens

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
Hypericum perforatum ethanolic extract (HPEE) at the levels of 0, 150, 300 and 450 mg/kg were used and dietary treatments did not affect growth performance including feed intake, body weight and feed conversion ratio. The HPPE reduced the abdominal fat and improved meat quality in broilers.

Effect of Microencapsulated Fermented Catfish Waste Extract on Apparent Metabolizable Energy, Nutrient Digestibility, Digestive Enzyme Activity, and Intestinal Microbiota of Broiler Chickens

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Cell‐free fermented catfish‐processing waste was microencapsulated with maltodextrin to produce MFCWE, a circular‐economy feed additive for broiler chickens. Dietary inclusion at 1.5% produced the most consistent overall response, improving apparent metabolizable energy, dry matter and organic matter digestibility, intestinal amylase activity, and ...

The toxicity of purified fumonisin B1 in broiler chicks

Poultry Science, 2000
An investigation of the toxicity of fumonisin B1 (FB1), a toxic metabolite of Fusarium moniliforme, in broiler chicks was conducted. Purified FB1 (98.1% pure) was incorporated into the diets of broiler chicks at 0, 20, 40, and 80 mg/kg, and fed to chicks from 0 to 21 d of age. Dietary FB1, at concentrations of 80 mg/kg or less, did not adversely affect

Clostridioides difficile as a Zoonotic and Foodborne Pathogen: Reviewing the Global Evidence and South African Data

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
Clostridioides difficile infections are increasingly problematic in areas with already burdened healthcare systems. From a One‐Health perspective, a lack of surveillance in developing countries greatly contributes to the limited information available on the zoonotic and foodborne potential of C. difficile.

A vaccination programme combining a live attenuated Salmonella Typhimurium and an autogenous inactivated Salmonella Enteritidis vaccine confers protection and reduces ovarian colonisation with the Salmonella Enteritidis isolate 7A, PT12

Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 104, Issue 6, Page 395-403, June 2026.
Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis (SE) can colonise chicken ovaries and contaminate eggs, posing a global risk of human gastroenteritis, often linked to raw or undercooked eggs. Control options for SE outbreaks in Australia are limited; autogenous SE vaccines are commonly used, while live attenuated Salmonella Typhimurium (ST) vaccines are ...

Not Just Rocked, but Delighted: Rhythmic Passive Movement Induces Positive States in Chicks

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1560, Issue 1, June 2026.
Rhythmic passive movement modulates affective states in domestic chicks, a species without maternal carrying. Slow rocking‐like and carrying‐like movements reduce contact vocalizations, reproducing mammalian soothing effects, while fast horizontal rocking‐like and fast carrying‐like movements increase pleasure‐related calls.
