THis points to the need for "quality proteins" where sufficient amounts of all the essential amino acids are required for optimal health, not just growth, not just mainenance but a bit more. A chicken is an omnivore and really benefits from the insects, bugs, larvae and scraps of meat.
In human "medicine" there is more and more evidence that the micronutrients are truey beneficial to the body to fight off disease, both bacterial/viral and cancerous types. I would be surprised if there are any studies on poultry. THe entire process of fighting off disease is incredable; the numbers of biochemicals the body utilizes to build and create other biochemicals , to keep cells healthy and repaired I find amazing.
I understand how vaccines work, and the IGg's that are stored in preparation for the next exposure; but I find genetic resistance a little harder to understand; is it simlly a genetic code that gets passed on generation to generation; just as the genetic code FOR a predisposition for a disease get passed on?. If so, then the population MUST be exposed to a disease to eliminate those that are not resistant, leaving the survivors to become the P1 generation.
THat could be financially costly given how poultry is managed today; hence the value of vaccines.
Lots to think about.
