Introduction: antibiotic-resistant bacteria are an emerging and growing threat in agriculture, especially chicken production, due to the overuse misuse of antibiotics. This research examined use antibiotics by producers Ghana's Ashanti Region frequency Escherichia coli (E. coli) layer birds that produce Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL).
Avian influenza is one of the major threats to poultry and human health in northern Benin, while mixed-species farming systems increase risks viral transmission. The present study estimated seroprevalence avian subtypes H9N2 H5 indigenous chickens guinea fowls Atacora Donga regions. A total 300 birds including 191 109 fowls, from six districts were sampled through a cross-sectional survey using systematic random sampling. Hemagglutination inhibition assay was used detect antibodies,...

Conventional oral vaccine delivery in poultry is challenging due to degradation the gastrointestinal (GI) environment and need for cold-chain storage. Microencapsulation offers a solution by protecting vaccines from GI improving stability. Natural polymers like alginate cashew gum have mucoadhesive properties, making them promising candidates delivery. This study developed cashew-alginate microbeads powdered dose form chickens. The were created using ionotropic gelation, while was obtained...
