Interested in understanding more about the important role of blood biomarkers in poultry health and performance? Dr. Montana Oubre, technical services manager with dsm-firmenich, recently sat down with Dr. Jason Emmert of The Poultry Podcast to discuss this important topic, as well as the emerging influence of artificial intelligence in veterinary science.
From The Poultry Podcast: Today, I had the pleasure of welcoming Dr. Montana Oubre, Technical Services Manager at DSM-Firmenich. We explored Dr. Oubre's transition from an aspiring bird enthusiast to a professional poultry veterinarian, discussing key lessons and pivotal "a-ha" moments throughout his journey. We also discussed the critical role of blood biomarkers in poultry health and performance, as well as the emerging influence of artificial intelligence in veterinary science.

Mycotoxins are unavoidable contaminants in feed that have negative effects on bird health. They are present in poultry diets worldwide, but due to their often-invisible effects, mycotoxins are frequently overlooked in parent stock farms, with the negative outcomes appearing at the hatcheries. Mycotoxins can negatively impact a diversity of indices that are necessary for the success of breeder and hatchery production: fertility, eggshell quality, efficiency of vaccine response, and quality of the progeny. Becoming informed and aware of this challenge and how to protect your birds is key to helping them reach their maximum genetic potential and, consequently, maximizing the economic success of your hatchery.

The estimated cost of coccidiosis globally is between USD 9.2 and 15.6 billion, or approximately USD 0.2 per chicken (Blake et al., 2020). This estimate is derived not only from the cost of prophylactics and therapeutics, but also the associated performance and mortality loss. Additional losses due to secondary challenges associated with coccidiosis may also increase the overall economic impact. Many protozoa plague the livestock industry but, in poultry, there are seven Eimeria species of the protozoal parasite coccidia that infect different regions in the intestinal tract (Shirley et al., 1986). Regardless of the site of infection, Eimeria have a complex life cycle that includes stages within the bird and environment. Depending on the Eimeria species, site of infection and life cycle stage, certain prevention strategies may be more effective than others (Chapman and Rathinam, 2022).
