I agree that there should be an interaction between a nutritionist and a veterinarian where in they can work hand in hand for the upliftment of livestock sector particularly in the developing countries who are facing challanges like bird flue and other emerging diseases.

ithink the problem starts from the training school,where each is trained to see himself as been more knowledgeable and superior in the industry than the other,hence must always head the team either on the field or in political appointments. I agree with Dr Simon Shane comment on cross training and integration and not mere cooperation because there is always something new to learn from each other everyday. Nutrition,health and medicine cannot be separated.
Yes I agree with it.But officially it seems incorrect because the veternarian sometimes finger out towars the nutritionist and nutritionist answered towards Vet's negligency like management etc.But if they will discuss positively then it will be efficiently benefit.
Integration of nutrition and poultry medicine requires cross training not merely cooperation between and among individuals. Believe me I have functioned as both a PhD nutritionist and board certified poultry veterinarian for 35 years on three continents and I observe something new every week.
yes i agree for example:there are extremely important interaction, synergisms, and antagonisms between nutrition and immunity that markedly affect productivity of poultry.two types of interactions occur.first nutrition can impact the immunocompetence of birds and thus their resistance to infectious disease.second,immune responses due to infectious challenges impact growth . reproduction, metabolism, and nutrient requirments. result either nutritionists or veterinarians need for solve problems in farm
Yes. We can only be as efficient in the production process when there is an open communication line between veterinarians and nutritionists. Acknowledging the specialized skills and functions that each can totally support the birds' health or nutrition can not only bring forth more profit to the company but also a pleasant working environment for all.
Author has raised a very important issue. In Most of the cases Animal Nutritionist is first an Veterinarian.Hence he must assess the problem from both view points as a team worker. Interactions can break the barriers of knowledge sharing and help in finding better and viable solutions for the emerging problems of Livestock Industry as a whole, for benifit.

poultry production and its safty for human being is a ccordinated and colaburative work, might be give nam ot team work, the reaction of veternarian for growth, piosonious material,fungus and other factors are very important for improvement of nutritionist job and also other way around. even though vet know about nutrition as a factor or predisposing factor for healthe and diseases and lessetr growth points of view. this is why the factories or feed mills will have close contact. thanks
I totally agree that nutritionists and veterinarians can be complementary. Unfortunatly, each specialist seemed to be in his own world. Nowadays, the most interesting is at the border between nutrtion and health: how nutrition can favour or avoid some digestive problems...?
