Tunnel-Ventilated Broiler Houses: Broiler Performance and Operating Costs

Journal of Applied Poultry Research, 1992
Abstract Interest continues to build in tunnel ventilation as a method of enhancing broiler performance and reducing mortality during warm weather. The perception that operating costs associated with this system may be high has caused concern. The purpose of this study was to collect and compare broiler performance data and operating costs of ...

Impact of Organic and Inorganic Feeding Management on Water Quality, Growth Performance and Plankton Communities in Pond‐Based Polyculture of Major and Chinese Carp Species

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The current study assessed the impact of organic and inorganic feeding management on water quality, growth performance and plankton communities in a pond‐based polyculture system over 9 months, using three treatments: Ctrl (C), organic feeding (T1) and inorganic feeding (T2). Significant differences were observed in electrical conductivity (EC)

Identification of key gut microbiota and microbial QTL in contributing to the significant differences in body weight between two Chinese local chicken breeds

Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Previous studies have identified genetic loci that are associated with both feed conversion efficiency and gut microbiota in chickens, suggesting that interactions between the host genome and gut microbiota may influence chicken growth. However, the number of microbial QTL and gut microbiota associated with chicken body weight remains largely ...

Cointegration analysis of broiler meat and broiler feed prices in Turkey

Eurasian Journal of Veterinary Sciences, 2019
Aim: The high share of feed costs among the costs of inputs used in broiler breeding plays a significant role in the formation of broiler meat price. As the production of raw materials used in the broiler feed industry is not sufficient to meet the demand in the domestic market, the demand is met by importation.

Have the environmental benefits of insect farming been overstated? A critical review

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 163-194, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Insect farming is frequently promoted as a sustainable food solution, yet current evidence challenges many environmental benefits claimed by industry proponents. This review critically examines the scientific foundation for assessing the environmental impacts of insect farming in both human food and animal feed applications.

Dual Modification of Guar Meal via Fermentation and Enzyme Treatment Enhances Growth Performance, Nutrient Digestibility and Gut Morphology in Broilers. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
Fermentation or enzyme treatment of guar meal at low inclusion levels (3%–6%) significantly improved broiler growth, nutrient digestibility, carcass yield and gut morphology, while higher inclusion impaired performance. Dual modification presents a promising strategy for safe and efficient use of guar meal as an alternative protein source in poultry ...

Agricultural System Resilience of Industrial Hemp: An Exploratory Value Web Analysis in the Swabian Alb

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study assessed the industrial hemp value web resilience in the Swabian Alb, Southern Germany, where regional implementation remains limited despite hemp's bioeconomy potential. Using an indicator framework and stakeholder interviews, the research found the small, fluctuating cultivation area (e.g., 25 ha in 2024) focuses on hemp seed valorisation;
