“…In fact, if staff or visitors have contact with infected birds and/or their feces and/or contaminated material, they could become the main source of contamination, within and between farms. The use of personal protective equipment is not intrinsically a biosecurity practice, but an occupational safety recommendation, as poultry workers are at increased risk of respiratory exposure to dust, particulate feathers, and atmospheric contaminants including ammonia and hydrogen sulfide during certain handling activities [ 61 , 62 ]. Its usage is not mandatory for staff nor for visitors in accordance with Mexican law.…”

Characterization of commercial poultry farms in Mexico: Towards a better understanding of biosecurity practices and antibiotic usage patterns

Mexico is one of the world’s major poultry producing countries. Two significant challenges currently facing the poultry industry are the responsible and judicious use of antimicrobials, and the potential occurrence of infectious disease outbreaks. For example, repeated outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus subtype H7N3 have occurred in poultry since its first detection in Mexico in 2012. Both of these challenges can be addressed through good husbandry practices and the application of on-farm biosecurity measures. The aims of this study were: (i) to assess the biosecurity measures practiced across different types of poultry farms in Mexico, and (ii) to collect information regarding antimicrobial usage. A cross-sectional study was carried out through on-farm interviews on 43 poultry farms. A multiple correspondence analysis was performed to characterize the farms based on their pattern of biosecurity practices and antimicrobial usage. Three clusters of farms were identified using an agglomerative hierarchical cluster analysis. In each cluster, a specific farm type was predominant. The biosecurity measures that significantly differentiated the visited farms, thus allowing their clusterization, were: the use of personal protective equipment (e.g. face masks, hair caps, and eye protection), the requirement for a hygiene protocol before and after entering the farm, the use of exclusive working clothes by staff and visitors, footbath presence at the barn entrance, and the mortality disposal strategy. The more stringent the biosecurity measures on farms within a cluster, the fewer the farms that used antimicrobials. Farms with more biosecurity breaches used antimicrobials considered critically important for public health. These findings could be helpful to understand how to guide strategies to reinforce compliance with biosecurity practices identified as critical according to the farm type. We conclude by providing certain recommendations to improve on-farm biosecurity measures.

“…Air quality is an important factor influencing welfare in poultry, as harmful concentrations of gases like ammonia (NH 3 ) and hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) unavoidably develop in intensive production systems. Many studies show that NH 3 and H 2 S adversely affect bird performance including growth rate, feed efficiency, carcass quality and susceptibility to diseases [175,176]. High concentrations of these gases also impair the nervous, respiratory and the cardiovascular system and affect animal behavior [175][176][177][178].…”

High concentrations of these gases also impair the nervous, respiratory and the cardiovascular system and affect animal behavior [175][176][177][178]. It is noteworthy that the avian respiratory system is unique among vertebrates, and that, consequently, research in mammals including humans cannot be directly applied to poultry [175].…”

During their lifespan, chickens are confronted with a wide range of acute and chronic stressors in their housing environment that may threaten their welfare and health by modulating the immune system. Especially chronic stressful conditions can exceed the individual’s allostatic load, with negative consequences for immunity. A fully functional immune system is mandatory for health and welfare and, consequently, also for high productivity and safe animal products. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the impact of housing form, light regime as well as aerial ammonia and hydrogen sulfide concentrations on the immune system in chickens. Certain housing conditions are clearly associated with immunological alterations which potentially impair the success of vaccinations or affect disease susceptibility. Such poor conditions counteract sustainable poultry production. This review also outlines current knowledge gaps and provides recommendations for future research.

“…Hidrogen sulfida merupakan salah satu senyawa sulfur yang mudah menguap, sangat berbau, tidak berwarna, dan larut dalam air. Gas ini dihasilkan dari proses penguraian kotoran yang didalamnya terkandung sulfur oleh bakteri sulfat [15]. Gas tersebut toksik bagi manusia dan hewan serta dapat meningkatkan kerentanan penyakit dan mengganggu efisiensi aktivitas para pekerja [16].…”

Pada umumnya peternak mengunakan litter dari bahan sekam padi. Akan tetapi seiring dengan penurunan lahan persawahan, sekam padi sulit didapat dan harganya mahal. Salah satu upaya yang dapat dilakukan yaitu dengan menggunakan kembali litter yang telah digunakan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis pengaruh daur ulang terhadap kualitas litter dan udara pada pemeliharaaa broiler. Metode: Ternak yang digunakan dalam penelitian adalah day old chick (DOC) broiler Strain Ross Jumbo dengan rataan bobot badan 44,74±2,21 g/ekor. Perlakuan dibagi pada 3 mini closed house (LB: litter baru, LFPM: litter fermentasi pengeringan matahari, LFPA: litter fermentasi pengeringan dianginkan). Variabel meliputi kualitas litter (struktur pori, total bakteri, kadar air, daya serap) dan kualitas udara (karbon dioksida, amonia, konsentrasi hidrogen sulfida, dan debu total). Data kadar air dan daya serap litter didesain menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap (RAL) dan dianalisis ragam (SAS 9.0). Data total bakteri, struktur pori litter dan kualitas udara dianalisis secara deskriptif. Hasil: Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan kembali litter yang telah didaur ulang tidak berpengaruh nyata terhadap kadar air dan daya serap litter. Luas pori-pori litter pada ketiga perlakuan menunjukkan hasil yang tidak berbeda. Litter yang difermentasi dan dikeringkan dengan sinar matahari menunjukkan penurunan total bakteri total (57,75%), sedangkan litter yang difermentasi dan dianginkan (41%). Kadar karbon dioksida, amonia, hidrogen sulfida, dan debu total pada semua perlakuan berada dalam kisaran normal. Kesimpulan: Dapat disimpulkan bahwa penggunaan kembali litter yang telah didaur ulang tidak menurunkan kualitas litter dan kualitas udara dalam pemeliharaan ayam broiler.
