Today, antimicrobial resistance poses one of the biggest threats to public and animal health and it is inextricably linked to antimicrobial usage (AMU).

Phage therapy

Steven Theriault is convinced he has the solution to an urgent global public health threat — antibiotic resistance. But he can’t get his bacteria-killing viruses approved through what he calls Canada’s rigid and outdated regulatory system.

In case you didn’t know.

Ygrette 💚🇺🇸

This adorable little hybrid English game bird hen sustained an accidental leg fracture which hasn’t healed properly, and as a result she now has a permanent leg disability. She’s just received her new chair and already she’s much happier and even taking naps in it.

All the best Ygrette!

I got to see one of my favorite girls last month, Ms Wobble. She's not feeling well though, so mixed feelings.

I like this website for basic backyard poultry information

Why does it matter if your eggshells are clean or dirty? Doesn't the shell help protect the inside of the egg?
There are pores in the eggshell that allow oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange for the growing chick within the egg, and they allow for moisture control as well. Dirt and f***s on the shell surface contain bacteria that can enter into the egg via these pores.

Are you feeding your hens corn scratch?
Corn in proper amounts in a feed ration is fine and appropriate, but feeding it on its own as your primary food ingredient, or as a treat, is not recommended, even when it's cold outside, as it often leads to obesity and liver disease!

Heat can kill. If your birds don't have a place in the shade and plenty of clean fresh water, they can die rapidly from overheating. Make sure they have plenty of room to move around and good airflow as well. Birds cool themselves primarily by panting. If you are hot, they are hot!
