Glyphosate impact on poultry health explained | Dr Edgar Oviedo

In this episode of nutriNews on Air, Alvaro Guzman sits down with Dr Edgar Oviedo to explore the growing concerns surrounding glyphosate-based herbicides and their potential impact on poultry health and production.

Glyphosate exposure is often overlooked in animal nutrition, yet emerging evidence suggests it may play a role in gut health disruption, microbiota imbalance, oxidative stress, reduced nutrient absorption, and reproductive challenges in poultry systems.

In this interview, we discuss:
• How glyphosate enters poultry production systems (feed, water, environment)
• The role of adjuvants in commercial herbicide formulations
• Effects on intestinal integrity and microbiota
• Implications for performance and metabolic health
• Potential impacts on breeder reproduction and progeny development
• Practical considerations and mitigation strategies for the industry

This is a must-watch conversation for professionals working in poultry nutrition, feed formulation, animal health, and production sustainability.
