5 abstracts at the International Poultry Scientific Forum
We are entering the New Year showcasing our latest poultry research at the International Poultry Scientific Forum (IPSF) on 24th-25th of January in Atlanta, USA.
Our US technical and research and development teams will be presenting 5 scientific abstracts and are happy to answer any questions you may have regarding their research findings.
The focus of our research presented at the International Poultry Scientific Forum was on finding optimal combinations of natural components and feed additives for synergistic outcomes on key performance parameters in laying hens and broilers and food safety, particularly under pathogen challenged conditions.
Dr. Milan Hruby, Director of Technical Services at ADM Feed Additives and Ingredients, reflects on a busy year in a nutshell: “Research conducted with various classes of ADM feed additives by our science and technology team shows clearly exciting opportunities for poultry producers. In North America, our technical team has taken these findings and tested them further to account for any regional, environmental, management and nutritional differences. We are excited to share some of this research during IPSF to provide market-specific solutions to our customers and partners in this region.“
Clostridium Perfringens and Coccidia are the cause of significant economic loss for most poultry producers, whereas Salmonella infections in poultry also pose a threat to food safety in human consumption of protein derived from poultry production. In the effort to minimize the performance losses associated with the reduced use of antibiotic growth promotors in poultry production, there is a need to find effective non-antibiotic options that also don’t contribute to antimicrobial resistance and are more accepted as safe by the consumers.
Naturally occurring bioactive substances are generally perceived as safe by the consumer and certain yeasts, short and medium chain fatty acids, as well as components derived from herbs and spices have shown to be effective during a pathogen challenge including C. Perfringens, Salmonella and Eimeria. However, their mode of action against pathogenic bacteria differs and the question is if optimal combinations of these components can offer a more complete protection to poultry flocks and the food supply chain, because of potential synergistic effects.
Find out about the learnings of our research team from the abstracts below and join the discussion at the IPSF 2022.
You will also find technical and research team members at our booth at the IPPE, B7679, who will be available to answer any further questions you may have.
2022 Abstracts presented at International Poultry Scientific Forum January 24-25
Effect of Pichia guilliermondii inactivated whole yeast cell product on performance parameters, gastrointestinal tract gross lesion scores and gut permeability in broilers experimentally challenged with coccidiosis.
A controlled challenge trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of Pichia guilliermondii inactivated whole yeast cell product supplementation during coccidiosis. Ross 708 420 male broiler chicks were randomly assigned to five treatments.

- The effect of a whole yeast product and two plant extracts supplemented alone or combined on broiler performance, lesions scores, and oocyst shedding during an experimental coccidia challenge. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a whole yeast (Pichia guilliermondii) product, a blend of capsicum and tumeric oleoresin, and a single plant extract fed alone or in combination, on broiler performance, lesion scores and oocyst shedding during an experimental coccidia challenge.

- Impact of a product based on phytogenic bioactives, a product based on medium chain fatty acids and their combinations on laying hen performance
A study conducted at Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, Virginia, USA
- A combination based on a half dose of each product, significantly improved egg mass and egg production compared to control treatment and numerically improved feed intake, egg weight and feed efficiency
- Both products fed individually at full dose significantly improved egg production, feed efficiency, egg mass and egg weight
- The effect of essential oils, medium chain fatty acids, and their combination on broilers challenged with Necrotic enteritis.
Necrotic enteritis (NE) continues to be a challenge within the broiler industry and NAE production systems in particular. Solutions to combat both subclinical effects, and mortality issues from NE are critical to poultry producers. The current study evaluated the effect of two essential oils products (EO), medium chain fatty acids (MCFA), and the combination of these in diets fed to broilers challenged with C. perfringens (CP).

- Evaluation of effectiveness of feed additives to reduce Salmonella heidelberg colonization in broilers. The presence of salmonella has remained a constant issue with the poultry industry to date. However, more and more feed additives are being researched to help decrease this issue that poultry industry continues to face. The objective of the current study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an inactivated whole Pichia guilliermondii yeast product, along with a short chain fatty acid product to reduce the colonization of Salmonella heidelberg in broiler chickens.
