In modern broiler production, producers face a multifactorial problem including challenging environmental conditions, feed quality, and intestinal health. The interaction between these elements is key for the development of the morphology and the function of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). This is essential for nutrient digestibility and absorption, but it is also the first line of defense against pathogens, viruses, and parasites.

It was reported on Feb. 1 that Evonik Industries (Essen, Germany) and consortium partners have developed a lighter and more cost-effective high-voltage battery housing concept for e-mobility solutions using glass fiber-reinforced epoxy sheet molding compound (SMC). According to the company, the holistic battery system concept offers the automotive industry a safer and more energy efficient alternative to metals, or higher priced carbon fiber-reinforced plastics.
Although millions of electric cars and plug-in hybrids are already on the roads worldwide, Evonik says, there are still no generally applicable standards for the individual components. However, significant efforts are currently being made to standardize individual vehicle assemblies and establish a cross-market component standard.

Patent No. 10,896,261
A resilient security agent determines a cyber and/or physical health of a control system by, inter alia, communicating cyber-physical key data through cyber-physical control paths of the system, and determining error introduced by the communication. The resilient security agent may be further configured to verify the integrity of acquired cyber-physical state information. The cyber health of the control system may be evaluated by comparing the acquired cyber state information to one or more cyber state profiles. The physical health of the control system may be evaluated by comparing the acquired physical state information to one or more physical state profiles.
