- More about Instant Insights: Developing Immunity in Poultry
This collection of reviews explores genetic, genomic, functional genomic, gut microbiome, nutritional strategies, and the avian defence system to enhance immunity in poultry, addressing production and immunocompetence trade-offs and major diseases affecting poultry production.
Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 138 pages
Publication date: 20 September 2022
Publisher: Burleigh Dodds Science Publishing Limited
Developing immunity in poultry is a critical aspect of poultry production, and four peer-reviewed reviews have been compiled to provide insights into this topic. The first chapter discusses the advances in genetic, genomic, and functional genomic studies of immune and disease resistance in chickens. It reviews multi-trait selection experiments and considers the potential trade-offs between production and immunocompetence in response to disease. The second chapter reviews the importance of the gut microbiome in optimising animal health and reducing susceptibility to major diseases affecting poultry production. It examines intestinal immunity, as well as the microbiota interactions which occur within the poultry immune system. The third chapter addresses the nutritional strategies which can be implemented to boost immune function in poultry. It considers the process of nutritional modulation and reviews the use of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids to enhance, suppress, and balance poultry immune systems. The final chapter provides an overview of the avian defence system and its role in tackling some of the major pathogens affecting global poultry production, such as coccidiosis. It reviews the various elements of the host defence system and considers how supplements can modulate the immune system and its responses to specific challenges.
