Evaluation of Torula Yeast (Candida utilis) Single Cell Proteins as a Partial Replacement for Soybean Meal in Broiler Diets: Effects on Productive Performance, Meat Quality Traits, and Plasma Metabolome

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Over recent years the use of yeast in feedstuffs has gained momentum due to novel developments in single‐cell proteins (SCPs). SCPs are considered a sustainable protein source, as their production enable to convert low‐value substrates (including industrial/agricultural wastes) into feed, with a related reduced environmental impact.

Integrating Serological and Molecular Data to Characterize Fowl Adenovirus Associated With Inclusion Body Hepatitis in Broiler Chickens From Malaysia

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
This study revealed the active circulation of fowl adenoviruses in broiler farms in Sabah, Malaysia. FAdV‐8b and FAdV‐11 were identified in flocks with IBH lesions, accompanied by high antibody titres in unvaccinated birds. Phylogenetic analysis showed close relationships with global strains, highlighting the need for enhanced surveillance and control ...

Estimating a Demand Function for Poultry Litter [PDF]

, 2017
Excess poultry litter could be a sustainable source of crop nutrients outside of nutrient-saturated regions if crop farmers are willing to utilize it. Using nearly 150 observations of actual poultry litter purchases in Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Missouri we

Thyme Essential Oil and Hyaluronic Acid as Natural Disinfectant Alternatives for Broiler Breeder Fertile Eggs: Effects on Eggshell Microbial Load, Embryonic Viability and Hatchability

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
Natural eggshell sanitation using thyme essential oil reduced microbial contamination and lipid peroxidation while improving embryo viability and hatchability in stored broiler breeder fertile eggs. These findings support thyme essential oil as a promising residue‐free alternative for hatchery egg sanitation.

Unravelling the Genetic Mechanisms of Litter Traits in a Maternal Line of Pigs

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 4, Page 560-580, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Reproductive traits related to litter size are the main indicators of reproductive efficiency in pig production and are continuously evaluated for the selection of maternal lines. Several environmental and genetic factors are involved with the development of these traits.

Targeting Myostatin for Sustainable Meat Production: Insights From Multiple Species

Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Myostatin gene (MSTN), a TGF‐β superfamily member, negatively regulates skeletal muscle growth, positioning it as a prime genetic target for enhancing livestock meat production. This review synthesizes evidence from 1979 to 2025 on MSTN mutations across cattle, pigs, poultry, sheep, goats, and rabbits, emphasising impacts on yield, quality ...
