Chickens: Feed supplementation to affect the rate and level of immune response
Don McIntyre Ph.D., PAS Diamond V
Research shows improved Newcastle disease vaccine titers in birds fed Original XPCTM, suggesting enhanced antibody production and potential increased protection against that disease. Current research focuses on better understanding how supplementation influences the bird's adaptive immune system.
The poultry immune system's antibody response has multiple uses in preventing disease. Feeding to support the antibody response offers benefits in increasing efficacy of vaccination against some pathogens and the opportunity to reduce certain food safety risks.
An activist group's new incentive program would provide a monetary reward to anyone whose report of alleged cruelty to animals leads to arrest and conviction. This tactic underscores the need to encourage and support a true culture of animal welfare in poultry operations.
Recently published studies, in-vitro and human clinical, confirm theanti-inflammatory effectsof EpiCor® previously revealed in laboratory and animal models. Embria Health Sciences human supplement research showing EpiCor's multiple modes of action benefits from more than 70 years of scientific investigation at Diamond V. Good health to you and your family!
