About this Research Topic
Poultry production is a crucial aspect of the global agricultural system providing nutrition and livelihoods to individuals worldwide. Poultry welfare and health, in its multifaceted nature, requires comprehensive understanding and management to ensure the sustainability of the industry. A sustainable poultry industry must foster both animal health and welfare, reducing the risk of disease while enhancing productivity and environmental stewardship.
This Research Topic will delve into the complex interplay between poultry welfare, health and sustainability. The main aim is to study the aspects of disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment in poultry production in relation to their impact on environmental and economic sustainability. Challenges to be addressed include reducing the burden of infectious diseases, understanding the consequences of nutritional disorders, minimizing the use of antibiotics, and investigating the influence of climate change on poultry welfare and health. Realizing the critical relationship between health and sustainability is the primary goal in order to contribute to the resilience of the poultry industry.
Scope of this Research Topic:
• Advances in disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatments within poultry farming.
• Impact of climate change on poultry health and subsequent effects on sustainability.
• Strategies to reduce the use of antibiotics in the poultry industry.
• Assessment of poultry nutritional disorders and their impact on production sustainability.
• Case studies showcasing successful integration of welfare, health and sustainability practices in poultry farming.
• The role of biosecurity in ensuring poultry welfare, health and sustainable productive systems.
• Implications of zoonotic diseases in poultry health and their influence on production sustainability.
• Analysis of sustainable waste management practices in poultry farming.
• Impact of poultry production on the emergence and spread of infectious diseases
