Introduction Within livestock production, feed accounts for 65 to 70 % of the total cost of production; however, despite constant efforts to achieve the safety of food intended for animal production, there are still factors that diminish its quality, such as biological pathogens (such as Salmonella spp., E. coli, Listeria spp., Campylobacter spp.), chemical substances (fungicides, herbicides, and insecticides), and presence of fungi (Fusarium, Penicillium, Mucor etc.)(1). Fungal...

In the rearing aviary, day-old chicks must have easy access to feed and water. The environment should offer an optimal temperature, appropriate lighting, and good ventilation. These conditions ensure that the chicks grow well, and their fluff transforms into well-developed feathers. As the chicks...

I. INTRODUCTION The basis for effective control of Salmonella infections in poultry production is good farm management and hygienic practices as well as testing and elimination of positive flocks in some countries. While many different measures have been recommended in meat chicken farms, vaccination with live-attenuated vaccines is likely to have a central role in the reduction of Salmonella in commercial operations by increasing the passive immunity of birds and...

I. INTRODUCTION The Australian commercial chicken industry is experiencing major changes; a significant proportion of both meat and layer farm types are becoming free range and this is driven by consumer demand (ACMF 2011; AECL 2015). Amongst industry experts, there is concern the risk of disease introduction and spread in Australian commercial chicken farms will be raised from the increased potential of interactions between wildlife and commercial chickens on free range farms (Scott...

I. INTRODUCTION Necrotic enteritis (NE) is of great concern to the poultry industry due to its deteriorating impact on production and increasing mortality, resulting in a US$6 billion global economic loss (Wade and Keyburn, 2015). The causative agent of NE is Clostridium perfringens, a gram-positive spore-forming anaerobic bacterium. The subclinical form of NE is financially more devastating than the clinical form. This is due to a lack of obvious symptoms resulting in a delayed...

I. INTRODUCTION Clay minerals and yeast fractions are regarded as effective tools for the prevention of the negative effects of toxic compounds in animal feed and production (Kubena et al., 1990; Lillehoj et al., 2016; M’Sadeq et al., 2015; Phillips et al., 1988). Clays and yeast fractions, when added to animal feeds, can adsorb certain toxic materials in the gastrointestinal tract of the animals, reducing their bioavailability. Dietary supplementation with clays has been shown...

It is easy to agree with all of you opinions. Consider that a broiler house with environment control doest not work equaly even in all places and countrys so getting into the limits of lowering protein nutritional recommendation, has to be done on step at the time and also lerning form one season to another. Leraning form your own experience, climate, installations, feed sources changes, the health and strenght of each brood chick group, etc....

I. INTRODUCTION In poultry meat production birds face several challenges, all of which disturb the normal functioning of the organism, with the gastrointestinal tract being the most affected. This results in impaired absorption of nutrients, leading to reduced performance and increased mortality. Previously general practice was to feed antibiotics at sub-therapeutic levels to enable birds to cope with the challenges during growth (Wati et al. 2015). With the European Union passing...

I. INTRODUCTION Microbial enzymes are now routinely used in broiler chicken diets to reduce the effects of antinutritive factors (ANF) in feed and/or improve the digestion of nutrients (Bedford, 2011). There is a suite of enzymes that target ANF such as non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) and phytic acid as well as products which improve the digestion of nutrients such as protein and minerals. The major cereals used in poultry diets are wheat, maize, sorghum and barley. The objective of...

In the world of animal feed manufacturing, some parameters shout: protein levels, energy values, additive profiles. Others whisper, quietly shaping performance from behind the scenes. Particle size is one of those silent drivers. And yet, for monogastric species like pigs and poultry, it can be the difference between optimal feed conversion and costly inefficiencies. I’ve spent over three decades in feed process technology, and if there’s one...

@Nuhad Daghir Under experimental conditions you can even reduce more. However, the potential of CP reduction depends on the status quo. A good indication for protein reduction would be the nitrogen utilization which can easily be calculated by assuming 30 g N/kg BW. Indeed, nitrogen utilization is also a matter of age or final body weight but the article gives you an indication on German conditions. N-Utilization of 63 to 66% are not seldom any more and then, 2% CP reduction is...
