In modern animal agriculture, the search for sustainable alternatives to antibiotics has become increasingly important. Probiotics have emerged as a promising solution, offering numerous benefits for livestock and poultry health, productivity, and welfare. These beneficial microorganisms support gut health and immune function, providing a natural approach to disease prevention and performance enhancement in animal production systems. The global animal probiotics market continues to grow as producers seek alternatives to antibiotics amid rising concerns about antimicrobial resistance. Probiotics represent a key component in the shift toward more sustainable and respon

Egyptian clover (Trifolium alexandrinum L.), also known as berseem, represents one of the most important forage crops in Egypt and several temperate and subtropical regions. As a winter annual leguminous crop, it provides essential fresh fodder, silage, and hay for livestock while simultaneously enhancing soil fertility through biological nitrogen fixation. However, the productivity and quality of Egyptian clover face a significant threat from dodder (Cuscuta planiflora), a parasitic weed that can cause yield losses of up to 80%. This parasitic plant lacks photosynthetic capability and depends entirely on its host for survival, extracting nutrients and water through

Spinach has always been known for its health benefits, famously containing iron and vitamins. But modern science, using tools like metabolomics, confirms that this leafy green is packed with even more powerful compounds that are vital for your health.

Given the significant rise in temperatures during the summer and the accompanying significant challenges facing breeders, a practical experiment was conducted on a small flock of only 220 chicks in a simple backyard environment, without relying on the capabilities of large commercial farms. Despite the difficult climatic conditions, the birds demonstrated outstanding performance, reaching an average weight of 2.5 kg at 32 days of age. This performance is attributed to the complete reliance on BioFactor as a safe alternative to antibiotics throughout the cycle, which contributed to enhancing growth efficiency and maintaining a healthy digestive system with

Agriculture is the backbone of all civilizations, and the stronger this backbone is the stronger the civilization will be. Agricultural systems are man-made systems with the aim of cultivating the largest number of crops possible within the system. However, it makes no sense to follow a system that meets the aim we need if we can not sustain the system for years to come. Additionally, human and soil health should be evaluated as well, and the overall environmental effects should be studied before adopting any agricultural system. From this perspective, agronomists realized that the highest yield/production is not a reliable indicator for the efficiency or the sustainability

Nitrogen-Fixing Bacteria Modern agriculture faces pressure to reduce reliance on synthetic fertilizers while maintaining crop productivity and soil health. Synthetic nitrogen fertilizers, while effective, contribute significantly to environmental degradation through greenhouse gas emissions, water pollution, and soil acidification. The agricultural sector accounts for approximately 78% of global ammonia emissions and contributes substantially to nitrous oxide production, a potent greenhouse gas. Simultaneously, synthetic fertilizer production requires enormous energy inputs and depletes finite fossil fuel resources. Nitrogen-fixing bacteria have emerged as
