I. INTRODUCTION Poultry feed is routinely pelleted for many reasons such as increased feed intake, feed efficiency, and feed hygiene (Abdollahi et al., 2013). However, pelleting is not without its drawbacks, particularly when using higher pelleting temperatures (Abdollahi et al., 2010).

1 - INTRODUCTION Fusarium graminearum (teleomorph Gibberella zeae) is an ascomycete fungal pathogen and the main causative agent of Fusarium head blight (FHB), or scab disease, on wheat. F. graminearum infects wheat floral tissues at flowering (anthesis), secreting many cell wall-degrading enzymes (CWDEs), other proteins and metabolites as well as mycotoxins that contaminate the developing grain, rendering it unsuitable for both human and livestock consumption (McMullen et al.,...

INTRODUCTION In recent years, the emergence of new products for human and animal consumption has intensified, which could be produced exclusively through the extrusion process. In particular, those produced with high levels of protein, derived from pulses, known as plant based. Several products of this type now available in supermarkets imitate pieces of meat, whether analogous to steaks or fillets, whether chicken, beef, fish, or even imitating seafood. The upper layer of fish...

Probiotics are included in the feed and administered continuously during the entire production cycle to maintain intestinal integrity and strengthen the immunity of the bird, thus reducing the need for repeated medication. Alternatively, water-soluble probiotics are often applied to quickly react to upcoming stress situations in the flock – but they can negatively impact the formation of biofilm in the water lines. For this reason, formulations that reduce the formation of biofilms...
