The focus of research on diseases lies primarily on the immune response to infection and pathogenesis. That is because pathogens often affect the metabolism of their hosts by targeting their immune systems, both of which are extensively intertwined. So to better understand disease pathogenesis and potential interventions, we need to study diseases from the perspective of immunometabolism. During this episode, Dr. Ryan Arsenault discusses immunometabolism and disease pathogenesis, focusing on necrotic enteritis and Salmonella infections. Additionally, he highlights the importance of maintaining good performance and animal health.

"Always ask yourself: 'how is this useful, how am I doing it, how can this be applied, and how will it benefit the birds and the producers?" - Dr. Ryan Arsenault
