However, pelleting is not without its drawbacks, particularly when using higher pelleting temperatures (Abdollahi et al., 2010). The industry has been trending towards ever higher conditioning temperatures due, at least in part, to efforts to improve feed hygiene and thus decrease reliance on in-feed antibiotics for prevention...

Introduction With the rise of antimicrobial resistance and the more frequent identification of multidrug resistance strains, as well as a lack of research into the development of new antimicrobial agents, scientists are increasingly interested in tests of active substances derived from plants due to their ease of availability, safety, and cost effectiveness (Albert, 2021). The use of medicinal plants in animal nutrition has increased due to their positive properties such as...

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...
