Area of Science:

  • Animal Science
  • Immunology
  • Environmental Health

Background:

  • Effective immune function is crucial for health in both animals and humans.
  • Intensive agriculture poses disease challenges to production animals.
  • Environmental factors significantly influence immune performance and disease resistance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review environmental factors affecting poultry immune function.
  • To explore managing environmental factors for improved animal health.
  • To propose immune assessment panels for poultry populations.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of environmental impacts on immunity.
  • Comparison of immune assessment strategies in humans, lab animals, and poultry.
  • Proposal of potential immune assessment panels.

Main Results:

  • Environmental factors are key immunomodulators in agricultural species.
  • Current immune assessment strategies are underdeveloped for agricultural species.
  • Environmental management can enhance production efficiency and animal welfare.

Conclusions:

  • Managing environmental factors is essential for poultry health.
  • Immune assessment tools are needed for optimizing poultry production environments.
  • Implementing immune panels can improve animal welfare and operational efficiency.
