Poultry expert to speak on bacterial enteritis at VIV MEA seminar

Dr. Fathy Farouk Mohamed, Professor of Nutrition and Clinical Nutrition at Cairo University, will be addressing the health and economic impacts of bacterial enteritis during an exhibitor seminar on February 15 at VIV MEA 2016 in Abu Dhabi.

With more than 35 published papers in scientific journals, Mohamed is a known authority on avian nutrition and immunity.

"Historically, the economic impact of bacterial enteritis was focused on mortality, but subclinical losses due to poor growth and feed conversion are also substantial," said Mohamed.

Mohamed will discuss the health, performance and economic losses caused by bacterial enteritis (BE), and cover the microbiota, biotoxins and remedies for preventing or alleviating BE-caused challenges. He will also detail the avian digestive tract structure and natural gut defences for a comprehensive view of intestinal health.

Mohamed is former Dean, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, at Cairo University, Peace Fellow at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and has spent more than 25 years as a technical consultant for several local and international feed, premix and additive companies.

The seminar will be held in Capital Suite 8 from 09.00-10.00 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition.
