Sulfonamide antibiotics (SAs) are excreted into the ecosystem unchanged through feces and urine because of their low adsorption and degradation in the guts of humans and animals. In this study, a novel whole-cell biocatalyst with fungal laccase on the cell surface of Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 was developed to degrade sulfadiazine (SDZ). Engineered strain EcN-IL showed laccase enzyme activity of 2 ± 1 U/mg dry weight of cell and degraded 37 ± 1% of SDZ at temperature 40 °C and pH 5 within 3 h in vitro. Strain EcN-IL with 500 mg/kg of SDZ was employed as a food supplement to feed chicken broilers, which can reduce the residue of SDZ in broiler manure by 58 ± 2% and also reduced dysbiosis of the gut microbiota due to overuse of antibiotics. The genetically engineered EcN-IL has laid a foundation for degrading SDZ in broilers and their manure.

Effect of dietary supplementation of Lawsonia inermis and Acacia nilotica extract on growth performance, intestinal histopathology, and antioxidant status of broiler chickens challenged with coccidiosis.

Avian coccidiosis is one of the many disorders that seriously harm birds' digestive systems. Nowadays the light is shed on using Phytochemical/herbal medicines as alternative natural anti-coccidial chemical-free standards. Consequently, this study aimed to investigate the impact of lawsonia inermis powder (LIP), and Acacia nilotica aqueous extract (ANAE), on growth performance, serum biochemical, antioxidant status, cytokine biomarkers, total oocyst count and intestinal histopathology of broiler chickens challenged with coccidiosis.

Platforms have been shown to be a suitable environmental enrichment for broiler chickens, accommodating their motivation to roost and rest at an elevated position. In order to increase the animal welfare benefits, we designed prototype elevated platforms with additional functionalities: a local cooling system, a sheltered area underneath the platform and collection trays underneath the platform that prevent manure from falling on the litter. This study assessed the effects of these multifunctional platforms during thermoneutral and heat stress conditions on two key determinants of their commercial uptake potential, namely production performance, carcass and meat quality.

Article Synopsis
- Manure is a valuable source of nutrients and organic matter that can improve soil health, but improper use may lead to water pollution from nutrient runoff.
- This study examined how different application rates of broiler litter (BL) and swine liquid manure (SLM) affected runoff volume and nutrient losses during simulated rainfall events.
- Results showed that higher manure application rates can reduce runoff volume but increase nutrient loss, highlighting the need for careful management of manure application to limit environmental impacts.
Evaluation of the efficacy of amendment types and rates in reducing ammonia emissions from broiler litter.

Department of Crop, Soil, and Environmental Sciences, Auburn University, Auburn, Alabama. Electronic address:
Several amendments have been used to reduce ammonia (NH) emissions from broiler litter (BL); however, a comparative study between amendments and their application rates has not been fully explored. This study evaluated the potential of biochar (B), zeolite (Z), Flue Gas Desulphurization-Gypsum (FGD-G), and sodium bisulfate (S) at four application rates in reducing NH emissions from BL. The treatments comprised of amendment types (4) and their application rates (4), and a control with no amendment for a total of 17 treatments replicated twice and arranged in a completely randomized design.
