Overview

Poultry are domesticated birds, chiefly chickens but also turkeys, ducks, and other species, raised for meat and eggs and central to the global food supply. Poultry science integrates nutrition, genetics, husbandry, and veterinary health management to optimize growth, feed efficiency, egg production and quality, and flock welfare while controlling disease. Because birds are reared at high density, infectious disease is a major constraint, and management addresses bacterial pathogens such as avian pathogenic Escherichia coli, mycoplasmas including Mycoplasma gallisepticum and Mycoplasma synoviae, and protozoal coccidiosis caused by Eimeria, alongside food-safety hazards from carcass and egg contamination. Nutrition is a primary lever of productivity and economics, encompassing energy and amino-acid balance, the use of feed additives and enzymes such as phytase to improve nutrient availability, and dietary control of performance and product quality. The peer-reviewed research in this area reflects these themes, examining phytase-supplemented feed for growth and economic viability, carbapenem-resistance mechanisms in broiler-derived E. coli, microbial contamination of raw chicken meat, molecular detection of mycoplasma infection, antimicrobial susceptibility of isolates from eggs, anticoccidial treatment in broilers, and the effect of dietary threonine on laying-hen performance and egg quality. Effective poultry production thus depends on the integration of nutrition, biosecurity, disease control, and food safety.
