1. Introduction The health of the gastrointestinal tract is one of the important indicators of the overall health of an organism. The health of the intestine is given considerable attention in human nutrition due to the existence of various autoimmune and other diseases. Intestinal epithelial barrier dysfunction and increased permeability result in a “leaky gut”, which is associated with intestinal disorders in humans, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), bowel...

Description of problem Feed ingredients and feed manufacturing account for 60 to 70% of production costs in an integrated poultry operation. Modern commercial broilers are fed predominately pelleted diets, and researchers have demonstrated how improving pellet quality (PQ), by increasing the percentage of pellets in the diet, further enhances bird performance (Proudfoot and Sefton, 1978; Dozier et al., 2010; Corzo et al., 2011; Lilly et al., 2011; Glover et al., 2016; Lemons and...

Overview Corn is the most common feed ingredient used in poultry nutrition. Maize contributes with up to 65% of the metabolizable energy and 20% of crude protein in poultry diets (Gehring et al., 2013; Dei, 2017). Its average nutritional value is well-known, but it is accepted that the variability in its composition and energy value is a very common issue with great impact on poultry performance and health (Cowieson, 2005; Gehring et al., 2013; Latham et al., 2016;...

Introduction Feed ingredients and manufacturing are expensive components of integrated poultry production, sometimes reaching 70% of total operational costs. Fortunately, the added costs of manufacturing poultry feed improve feed efficiency and poultry performance. The performance benefits from feeding pelleted diets results in a positive return on investment, making it a common practice in broiler and turkey production. Improving the quality of pellets further enhances poultry...

Introduction The animal feed manufacturing industry’s main purpose is to recombine different flows of nutrients into safe, nutritious, attractive and handleable feeds which are efficiently converted in animal-sourced food products (meat, eggs, milk). The raw materials harboring these nutrients vary greatly in composition and origin. Raw materials may be co-products sourced more locally from food or biofuel industries whereas others may travel large distances on the globe,...

I. INTRODUCTION A number of factors including the global population growth, shift towards high protein diets, finite land availability for crop production, climate uncertainties, increase in fossil fuel prices and diversion of feed ingredients, especially of cereals, to biofuel manufacture presents challenges to the global feed supply. This is a major threat for sustainable poultry production, in both the developing nations, as they move towards animal protein food regimen due...

Sustainable solutions for hygienic feed production are increasingly important as the antibiotic-free/no antibiotics ever (ABF/NAE) trend becomes stronger and more widespread. Once only considered in the most mature and advanced markets, today ABF production is a regular discussion point in all regions and will eventually become a reality for smaller and developing markets. Evolution of the market – consumer and industry ABF production places ever-increasing pressure...

I. INTRODUCTION With the recognition that pelleting can enhance the feeding value of barley in poultry diets, mostly through the break-down of cell wall matrix resulting a greater accessibility of encapsulated nutrients to digestive enzymes (Abdollahi and Ravindran, 2019), barley has been successfully used in pelleted broiler diets (Perera et al., 2019b; Perera et al., 2020). While the optimum inclusion level (Perera et al., 2019b) and particle size (Perera et al., 2020)...

INTRODUCTION Physical treatments, such as expansion and pelleting, are used in the processing of diets with the aim of enhancing feed efficiency. This occurs because during these processes, in addition to starch granule gelatinization, there are also partial protein denaturation, which leads to increased food digestibility and consequently improved broiler performance (Oliveira et al., 2011). Besides technological benefits, feed processing methods are associated with the...

Introduction During the feed pelleting process conditioned feed mash is passing through the pellet press die where animal feed pellets are formed by rheological properties of the mash and different mechanical forces applied on that mash. Different sized animals eat different sized feed, therefore cutting, thus uniformity of feed pellets is essential procedure for feed producers. In the end...

Introduction Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] meal (SBM) is typically the main protein feedstuff included in livestock diets (Félix et al., 2010; Oliveira et al., 2020). After being subjected to an adequate heat treatment, SBM has a high crude protein content, as well as a high digestible energy and low fiber contents (Félix et al., 2010). In general, SBM makes up 30% of broiler diets (Duarte & Junqueira, 2013). However, broiler performance is strongly...
