Prompt and appropriate treatment of respiratory problems is therefore routine practice on many farms. However, we all know that treatment success can be variable. The problems rarely disappear completely and often recur […]

Have you ever experienced situations in your work where you felt powerless against symptoms such as lameness in birds and reduced weight gain due to Avian Reoviruses infections, subclinical lesions caused by viral diseases like Infectious Bronchitis or Infectious Bursal Disease or other challenges related to bacterial infections, environmental stressors, metabolic disorders etc.?

Helminth infections remain a significant challenge in modern poultry production. Around 100 helminth species are known to affect domestic poultry with nematodes being the most prevalent and economically important. The species most commonly encountered are Ascaridia galli, Heterakis gallinarum and Capillaria spp. The shift toward cage-free and welfare‑friendly systems has increased exposure to parasites, but […]
Een bijzonder kenmerk van autogene vaccins is dat elke vaccinbatch uniek is. Daarnaast zijn autogene vaccins vrijgesteld van vergunningsplicht. Dit wil zeggen dat voor deze vaccins geen specifieke veiligheids- en werkzaamheidstests per individuele batch worden uitgevoerd. De verdraagbaarheid van autogene vaccins wordt beïnvloed door een breed scala aan factoren. De gebruikte antigenen (pathogenen) kunnen verantwoordelijk […]

This structured approach gives both us and the farmer a sense of order and reliability. However, not every condition can be managed in a strictly protocol‑driven way.

One of the body’s defence systems is the production of bronchial mucus, which is secreted by the goblet cells in the airways (more precisely: the Paneth cells of the alveolar epithelium). This mucus is produced continuously and transported upwards by the cilia of the epithelial cells. Its purpose includes clearing the respiratory tract of dust, […]

Het is goed om ons te realiseren dat in geval van gastro-intestinale wormen resistentie danwel resistentieontwikkeling altijd op de loer ligt tegen de grote verscheidenheid aan toepasbare ontwormingsmiddelen. Daarom is het als praktijk interessant vinger aan de pols te houden omtrent de resistentiegraad per bedrijf. Met de fecal egg count reductie test kan gekeken worden […]
