It is an indisputable fact that nutrition has a significant effect on the development, performance, immune system and intestinal health of broiler chickens. Recently, discussions have been initiated on early period feeding methods other than known feeding methods and extensive scientific studies are being conducted on this subject.
Beypilic has gained the authority to export to European Union (EU) countries. With the approval of the Republic of Turkey Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry dated February 11, 2025, Beypi Beypazarı Agricultural Production Marketing Industry and Trade Inc. has been officially authorized to export “Heat Treated Poultry Meat” to the EU.
Trichothecene mycotoxins are toxic substances that cause serious problems in egg laying hens, causing productivity, health and economic losses. Trichothecene mycotoxins are toxic compounds produced by fungi, especially the Fusarium genus, and cause serious adverse effects on animal health. These mycotoxins can easily be found in chicken feeds, especially corn and grain-based feeds. Storing agricultural products in unsuitable conditions or keeping them in a humid environment increases the risk of mycotoxin formation. This causes poultry to be exposed to these toxins through their food sources and thus may negatively affect egg production.
Poultry farming is one of the fastest growing areas in Turkiye’s agriculture and livestock sector. Chicken, turkey and duck farming both meet domestic demand and contribute significantly to exports. Chicken meat and egg production, in particular, play a critical role in meeting Turkiye’s food security and protein needs.
Balancing the intestinal microflora in poultry is vital for optimal health and performance; a balanced microbiota is a key factor in improving productivity. Some feed ingredients and additives have been reported to modulate the intestinal microbiota and the host immune system. Antibiotics have been used to modify the intestinal microbiota and have attracted considerable interest from farmers because they promote growth performance in poultry. However, concerns about antibiotic resistance and other adverse effects of the use of antibiotics as growth promoters have forced poultry producers to discontinue or limit their use. Feed additives and supplements such as probiotics, prebiotics, phytosubstances, organic acids, and exogenous enzymes are used as alternatives to antibiotics in modulating the intestinal microbiota.
Genetic resistance studies in poultry have shed light on avian influenza. The ANP32A gene in the chicken genome plays a key role in the development of resistant breeds. The global agriculture and livestock sector has been facing the threat of avian influenza more frequently in recent years. This deadly virus, which affects poultry, causes production losses and economic losses worldwide. However, scientists are demonstrating the power of genetics in the hope of developing natural resistance in chickens. According to research, certain genetic characteristics can enable chickens to develop resistance to this disease
A research team from the China Agricultural University in Beijing has developed artificial intelligence-based models to analyze the feed consumption behavior of broiler chickens in detail. A research team from the China Agricultural University in Beijing has developed artificial intelligence-based models to better analyze the feed consumption behavior of broiler chickens.
Bacterial resistance is rapidly developing; therefore, many critically important pharmaceuticals have begun to become obsolete. It is necessary to know that if these pharmaceuticals are not used cautiously, devastating results await us. In April 2014, the World Health Organization (WHO) called the fight against antibiotic resistance an “important action” and strongly warned authorities against unconscious approaches; it explained how antibiotics should be produced and what new approaches are needed in terms of prescription and use.
