Introduction As the world population continues to grow, along with the consumption of animal-sourced foods, animal production in the world is expected to grow in the decades ahead. The OECD and FAO estimated that, due to population growth and the ongoing transition towards a higher intake of animal products, global livestock production will grow by 14% from 2020 to 2029 (OECD/FAO, 2022; Ritchie and Roser, 2019). However, the statistic differs between continents and regions of the...

WHY IN VITRO METHODS MATTER Traditionally, diet formulation has relied on in vivo trials to determine digestible and metabolizable energy. These trials are accurate but slow, costly, and raise ethical concerns. Existing in vitro systems, meanwhile, are often too simplistic or poorly standardized to replace live-animal trials. Simulated Digestion System (SDS III) changes this. Developed over more than a decade of research, it uses computer-controlled digestion to simulate the...

1. Introduction Oats (Avena sativa L.) have become an increasingly important cereal crop due to their health benefits, particularly in reducing the risk of coronary heart diseases (Thies et al., 2014), and their growing incorporation into human diets (Rasane et al., 2015). For example, corresponding with increased oat consumption trends, oat production in the United Kingdom reached 986 thousand tonnes in 2024, representing a 19 % increase compared to the previous year (DEFRA, 2024)....
Andrew Vignati from VICAM explains how international regulatory standards are raising the bar for feed safety, particularly in exports. Vignati also shares how VICAM’s solutions empower producers of all sizes with the data they need to make safer, smarter decisions. ...
1. Introduction Hunger is a pervasive problem in emerging economies, undermining people’s health, productivity, and often their very survival [1]. According to the report in “The State of Food Insecurity in the World 2024” by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, an estimated 713 to 757 million people of the 8.3 billion people in the world, or 8.9 to 9.4%, were suffering from chronic undernourishment as of 2023. The majority of these...
INTRODUCTION In the tropics, grasses are the main source of food for livestock; however, during the drought season, growth and quality of forages is low, affecting animals productivity. Therefore to evaluate alternatives for forage replacement during that period, turns necessary. Sugarcane is a crop produced in more than 100 countries worldwide, and its biomass production exceeds that of any other forage, making it a good animal feed strategy for sustainable agricultural...
Introduction Barley is one of the main cereals produced in Norway and is used in broiler feed in low amounts due to high content of non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) (Bedford 1995; Knudsen 2014; Svihus and Gullord 2002) and lower energy value compared to maize, wheat or sorghum (Choct and Annison 1990; Khalil et al. 2020). The NSP fractions comprising soluble βglucans and arabinoxylans have gel-forming characteristics and are known to increase intestinal viscosity (Choct 2006),...
