Open AccessInvited review: Remediation strategies for mycotoxin control in feed
Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites of different species of fungi. Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), deoxynivalenol (DON), zearalenone (ZEN) and fumonisin B1 (FB1) are the main mycotoxins contaminating animal feedstuffs. The...

Combination of water-soluble chemical grafting and gradient freezing to fabricate elasticity-enhanced and anisotropic nanocellulose aerogels
Lignocellulosic nanofibrils (CNFs) are among the most well-known renewable and biocompatible materials. Aerogels assembled from these high aspect ratio CNFs are highly porous and ultralight. However, CNF aerog...

Open AccessGene expression profiling within the spleen of Clostridium perfringens- challenged Broilers fed antibiotic-medicated and non-medicated diets
Clostridium perfringens (Cp) is a Gram-positive anaerobic bacterium that causes necrotic enteritis (NE) in poultry when it overgrows in the small intestine. NE disease has previously been controlled through the u...
