Poultry diseases are responsible for majority of losses in livestock production leading to constraints in the development and enhancement of viable livestock production systems in Nigeria. The impact of these diseases is severe in rural areas. This study evaluated the importance of ethno-veterinary practices on food sustainability. The research design was survey method and sample size was determined using Taro Yamane formula from a population size of 100 (50 each) from both Local Government Areas. A structured questionnaire was administered to 80 persons (respondents) from the two local government areas (Abeokuta south and Odeda) in Ogun State, Nigeria. The result indicated that respondent were male (85%) and female (15%) with the male being the dominant and the respondents' shows high level of literacy. The result revealed that common diseases of broiler birds are coccidiosis (45%), Newcastle (18%), fowl cholera (8%) and others (25%). The poultry farmers make use of veterinary services has a therapy for poultry diseases with very few involved in both veterinary and herbal practice. Among the local herbs used were Moringa leaf, Christmas melon, basil, bitter leaf etc. However, farmers believed that the use of herbs causes poor growth, weight loss while the use of inappropriate dosage leads to death of birds which in turn will alter the level of poultry production.     Les maladies de la volaille sont responsables de la majorité des pertes d'élevage entraînant des contraintes dans le développement et l'amélioration de systèmes d'élevage viables au Nigéria. L'impact de ces maladies est grave dans les zones rurales. Cette étude a évalué l'importance des pratiques ethno-vétérinaires sur la durabilité alimentaire. La conception de la recherche était méthode d'enquête et la taille de l'échantillon a été déterminée à l'aide de la formule Taro Yamane à partir d'une taille de population de 100 (50 chacun) des deux zones d'administrations locales. Un questionnaire structuré a été administré à 80 personnes (répondants) des deux zones gouvernementales locales (le sud d'Abeokuta et Odeda) dans l'État d'Ogun, au Nigéria. Le résultat indique que le répondant était un homme (85 %) et les  femmes (15%) ; l'homme étant le dominant et celui des répondants montre un niveau élevé d'alphabétisation. Le résultat a révélé que les maladies courantes des oiseaux de chair sont la coccidiose (45 %), Newcastle (18 %), le choléra aviaire (8 %) et d'autres (25 %). Les éleveurs de volailles font usage des services vétérinaires avec un peu de gens qui se trouve dans la pratique vétérinaire ayant à base, des herbes locales. Parmi les herbes locales utilisées se trouvaient la feuille de Moringa, le melon de Noël, le basilic, la feuille amère, etc. Cependant, les agriculteurs croyaient que l'utilisation d'herbes provoque une faible croissance, la perte de poids tandis que l'utilisation d'une dose inappropriée conduit à la mort des oiseaux qui à son tour va modifier le niveau de production avicole.

The spread of resistant bacteria from livestock to the food industry promoted an increase of alternative poultry production systems, such as organic and antibiotic-free ones, based on the lack of antimicrobial use, except in cases in which welfare is compromised. We aimed to investigate the antibiotic susceptibility of commensal Escherichia coli isolated from organic, antibiotic-free, and conventional broiler farms and slaughterhouses toward several antimicrobials critically important for human health. To assess antimicrobial susceptibility, all E. coli isolates and extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) E. coli were analysed by the microdilution method. The prevalence of tigecycline, azithromycin and gentamicin E. coli-resistant strains was highest in organic samplings. Conversely, the lowest prevalence of resistant E. coli strains was observed for cefotaxime, ceftazidime and ciprofloxacin in organic systems, representing a significant protective factor compared to conventional systems. All E. coli strains were colistin-susceptible. Contamination of the external environment by drug-resistant bacteria could play a role in the presence of resistant strains detected in organic systems. Of interest is the highest prevalence of cephalosporin resistance of E. coli in conventional samplings, since they are not permitted in poultry. Our results suggest that monitoring of antibiotic resistance of the production chain may be helpful to detect “risks” inherent to different rearing systems.

The article shows that when quantifying the effectiveness of production systems that are reported in accounting, it is necessary to take into account not only the direct and local impact on the environment, but also the indirect, global impact, taking into account various points of view on the benefits and consequences that are part of the desired result.

AbstractNecrotic enteritis (NE) is being considered as one of the most important intestinal diseases in the recent poultry production systems, which causes huge economic losses globally. NE is caused by Clostridium perfringens, a pathogenic bacterium, and normal resident of the intestinal microflora of healthy broiler chickens. Gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of broiler chicken is considered as the most integral part of pathogen’s entrance, their production and disease prevention. Interaction between C. perfringens and other pathogens such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella present in the small intestine may contribute to the development of NE in broiler chickens. The antibiotic therapy was used to treat the NE; however European Union has imposed a strict ban due to the negative implications of drug resistance. Moreover, antibiotic growth promoters cause adverse effects on human health as results of withdrawal of antibiotic residues in the chicken meat. After restriction on use of antibiotics, numerous studies have been carried out to investigate the alternatives to antibiotics for controlling NE. Thus, possible alternatives to prevent NE are bio-therapeutic agents (Probiotics), prebiotics, organic acids and essential oils which help in nutrients digestion, immunity enhancement and overall broiler performance. Recently, probiotics are extensively used alternatives to antibiotics for improving host health status and making them efficient in production. The aim of review is to describe a replacement to antibiotics by using different microbial strains as probiotics such as bacteria and yeasts etc. having bacteriostatic properties which inhibit growth of pathogens and neutralize the toxins by different modes of action.

SummaryLivestock production faces major challenges through the coincidence of major drivers of change, some with conflicting directions. These are:1. An unprecedented global change in demands for traditional livestock products such as meat, milk and eggs.2. Large changes in the demographic and regional distribution of these demands.3. The need to reduce poverty in rural communities by providing sustainable livelihoods.4. The possible emergence of new agricultural outputs such as bio-fuels making a significant impact upon traditional production systems.5. A growing awareness of the need to reduce the environmental impact of livestock production.6. The uncertainty in the scale and impact of climate change. This paper explores these challenges from a scientific perspective in the face of the large-scale and selective erosion of our animal genetic resources, and concludes thai there is a stronger and more urgent need than ever before to secure the livestock genetic resources available to humankind through a comprehensive global conservation programme.

This study investigates the amounts of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions due to manure handling within different livestock production systems in Tyumen oblast of Western Siberia. Tyumen oblast occupies approx. 160 000 km² of Asian taiga and forest steppe. The amount of GHGs from manure was calculated as a function of the handling according to current IPCC guidelines for ecozones and livestock production systems. The entire Tyumen oblast has annual 7 400 t methane emissions and 440 t nitrous oxide emissions from manure. Three livestock production systems are prevalent in Tyumen oblast: Mega farms, small farms and peasant farms. The share of mega farms is 81 % (171 kt CO2 eq). Additionally, the slurry system in mega farms causes environmental pollution. GHG emissions and environmental pollution could be reduced by implementing solid manure systems or pasturing, by installing storage facilities for slurry outside the stables and through application of the manure as fertiliser at mega farms. In small farms solid manure systems and a small stocking density of livestock lead to smallest GHG emissions (1 %, 3 kt CO2 eq) from manure. In peasant farming 18 % (38 kt CO2 eq) of GHGs are emitted due to pasturing.
