Glossary

1

Broiler

A chicken raised specifically for meat production, usually marketed within roughly five to seven weeks depending on genetics, feed, and market weight.

2

Layer

A hen managed for table-egg production rather than meat, with nutrition, lighting, and housing tuned to persistency of lay and shell quality.

3

Breeder

Parent stock whose offspring supply commercial production, managed for fertility, hatchability, and chick quality rather than direct meat or egg output.

4

Hatchery

A facility that receives fertile eggs, incubates them under controlled temperature and humidity, and handles day-old chicks through sexing, vaccination, and dispatch.

5

Feed conversion ratio (FCR)

A efficiency measure expressing kilograms of feed consumed per kilogram of weight gain, or per kilogram of eggs or milk where relevant; lower values generally indicate better efficiency.

6

Average daily gain (ADG)

The average liveweight increase per animal per day over a defined period, used to compare nutrition, health, and management programs.

7

Biosecurity

The set of practices, barriers, and protocols designed to prevent pathogens from entering a farm or spreading between barns, vehicles, people, and equipment.

8

African swine fever (ASF)

A severe viral disease of pigs with high mortality in many outbreaks; it is not a human health threat through pork, but it reshapes pig movement, biosecurity, and market supply.

9

PRRS

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome, a viral disease affecting breeding herds through reproductive failure and growing pigs through respiratory signs.

10

Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI)

A severe form of avian influenza that can cause rapid mortality in poultry flocks and triggers strict movement controls, culling, and biosecurity measures.

11

Newcastle disease

A contagious viral disease of poultry affecting respiratory, nervous, and digestive systems; vaccination and farm biosecurity are central control tools.

12

Aquafeed

Formulated feed for farmed fish, shrimp, or other aquatic species, with pellet size, sinking or floating behavior, and protein and lipid levels matched to the species and growth stage.

13

Pellet mill

A feed-processing machine that conditions mash and presses it through a die to form pellets of controlled diameter and durability.

14

A processing unit that uses mechanical energy, heat, moisture, and pressure to cook and shape feed or feed ingredients, often used for aquafeed and pet food.

15

Premix

A concentrated blend of vitamins, minerals, trace elements, or additives diluted in a carrier and mixed into feed at low inclusion rates.

Veterinary therapeutics

Medicines, vaccines, and treatments used under veterinary supervision to prevent or treat disease, with withdrawal periods and responsible-use rules where applicable.

17

Cold chain

Temperature-controlled storage and transport for products such as vaccines, semen, feed additives, or chilled meat, maintained from origin to final use.

18

HACCP

Hazard analysis and critical control point, a food-safety management system that identifies biological, chemical, and physical hazards and sets controls at critical process steps.

19

Halal

Permissible under Islamic dietary and slaughter rules; relevant to poultry, meat processing, ingredients, and certification claims for Muslim markets.

20

Good animal husbandry practices (GAHP)

Farm-level standards covering stockmanship, housing, feed and water, health management, welfare, and record keeping to support safe and responsible production.
