    The findings suggested that water hyacinth and cattail litter can be a viable alternative to rice husk as a litter material for broiler production. The results indicated that there were not significant differences in growth performance of broilers when using water hyacinth and cattail litter compared to rice husk. The discovery was significantly found in rice husk to be costly, particularly in certain seasons or regions, and may impact the cost of broiler production. Moreover, the combined material of water hyacinth and cattail (in a ratio of 1:1) resulted in better growth performance (p<0.05) than rice husk while not causing any negative effects on broiler health. It showed that the combined material may provide a more cost-effective and sustainable option for broiler litter material. Overall, using water hyacinth and cattail litter either alone or in combination may offer a promising alternative to rice husk for broiler production. By using this alternative material, poultry producers can potentially reduce production costs, particularly when rice husk is expensive or scarce. Therefore, these results may provide useful insights for poultry producers looking to minimize production costs while maintaining broiler health and growth performance.

    The crude extract of Amla was found to be effective in treating pre-weaning piglet diarrhea. In this study, the group given a 25% extract concentration showed the most rapid recovery (4.80±0.57 days) and highest body weight gain (3240.00±45.83 g/piglet) over 15 days, outperforming the control group. Additionally, treatment costs were significantly lower in the 25% Amla crude extract group (0.039 USD per piglet) compared to the control group (0.052 USD per piglet). These findings suggested that Amla crude extract could be a cost-efficient alternative for managing pre-weaning piglet diarrhea, especially at a 25% concentration. Moreover, it addressed the issues of treatment expenses and antimicrobial resistance.

    Result elucidated the instances of concurrent infections by crucial pathogens in pigs, which is adversely impacted the herd's health status on a farm located in the Rachaburi province of Thailand. The farm which accommodated a population of 700 sows had found its fattening pig units exhibited unsatisfactory growth performance and an inconsistent size appearance. The serum samples underwent the testing via enzyme linked immunosorbent assay, unveiled a substantial antibody response to the porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV). The finding strongly indicated the prevalence of PRRSV infection within the farm. Furthermore, analysis of lymph node samples confirmed the presence of porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) through conventional polymerase chain reaction. The bacterial culture carried out on lung samples which detected an infection caused by Pasteurella multocida. In summary, the investigation is conclusively established the occurrence of a mixed infection involving both viruses and bacteria on this farm, specifically PRRSV, PCV2, and P. multocida. The report is illustrated the possibility of multiple infections by viruses and bacteria, which can potentially undermine the efficacy of vaccinations and cause severe clinical signs on the farm.

    Effects of partial substitution of feed with spent coffee grounds on growth performance and carcass quality in broilers
    (2024-03-01)

    ;
    The research findings found that the spent coffee grounds (SCG) substitution with 5% and 10% in feed (SCG-5 and SCG-10) which exhibited significant (P<0.01) effect on average daily gain with 80.82 and 66.84 g/day as compared to 0% substitution (SCG-0), which 88.62 g/day. While the the affecting on feed conversion ratio was shown in SCG-10 (2.05), which significantly (P<0.01) higher than SCG-5 (1.78) and SCG-0 (1.73). Similar to the carcass quality, SCG-10 was significantly (P<0.01) exhibited lower carcass weight (2,023.38 g) than SCG-5 and SCG-0 (2,267.48 and 2,319.70, respectively). However, there was no significant difference in the percentage of the carcass. Furthermore, substituting SCG in the feed had no impact on the weight of major muscles, such as the breast and thigh muscles. The inclusion of SCG-10 and SCG-5 was significantly increased in liver weight (P<0.05). However, only a high substitution rate of 10% SCG was significantly decreased in abdominal fat (P<0.01) as compared to the inclusion levels of 5% and 0% in the feed. In conclusion, substituting 5% SCG into the feed had shown to be a marginal impact on production efficiency, while a 10% SCG substitution rate distinctly influenced both production efficiency and carcass quality.
