Introduction The use of enzyme complex in animal feeding improves the utilization of nutrients that would otherwise be unavailable (Leite et al., 2011), reflecting positively on the performance and reducing the pollution load of excreta (Opalinski et al., 2010). However, the inclusion of enzymes in formulations should be made carefully, because this additive may lose their biological activity during pelleting process, which involves high temperatures, moisture, and...

INTRODUCTION Aquaculture is the fastest growing source of animal protein for humans. However, as this industry continues to develop, several inherent challenges will arise. Foremost is the need for increased production of suitable and sustainable feeds. Aquaculture has long been criticized for ‘‘using fish protein to make fish protein’’ ( Naylor et al., 2009 ). This ‘‘fishmeal trap’’ ( New & Wijkström, 2002 )...

Introduction Soybean meal is one of the most readily available and economical protein sources commonly fed to pigs. Due to a number of anti-nutritional factors, its inclusion in newly weaned pig diets has been limited. Thus, specialty animal proteins, such as animal plasma, blood cells, or fish meal have been commonly added as highly digestible amino acid sources in starter diets. In recent years, the cost and variability of specialty animal proteins has increased while...

Prevalence of numerous livestock diseases and increasing emphasis on animal health is expected to augment yeast market share for the animal feed application. The demand for high-quality meat has propelled significantly across the globe in recent years. In a bid to follow a high-protein diet, consumers are steadily shifting towards animal-based products.
Use of yeast in animal feed could help meet this growing demand. The product can stimulate growth of infant and young aged...

The global feed phytogenics market, an intrinsic sub-vertical of the food, nutrition, and animal feed industry, has been observing massive growth over the recent years, subject to mounting prevalence of livestock diseases and deteriorating animal health. In fact, reports suggest that livestock producers lose up to USD 21 billion to animal diseases every year. This count also disrupts the living of nearly 1 billion people who rely massively on livestock products like eggs, dairy, and meat....

The 50-year historical review of soybean meal (SBM ) published in Feedstuffs in 1970 by Dr. J.W. Hayward highlighted many of the pertinent advancements concerned with animal nutrition, product development and promotional aspects of U.S. SBM. In fact, 1920 marked not only the beginning of the industrial production of soybean oil and SBM in the U.S., but also the year that the American Soybean Assn. was founded (Hymowitz, 1990). The use of SBM at the time this 50-year review was published was...

1. Introduction Energy intake and digestibility, particularly the energy obtained from starch, is the limiting factor for growth in feedlot beef cattle [1]. Corn is the predominant grain (dry rolled, ground, high moisture or steam flaked) and starch source used in the US, Central and Latin America feedlots [2]. Among the grain processing methods, steam flaking is an effective way to increase starch availability for ruminants. Studies have shown that feeding steam flaked...

The animal feed enzymes market is expected to garner noteworthy gains on account of surging concerns over disease outbreak among poultry animals. Imposition of strict regulations to encourage livestock safety is supporting animal feed enzyme adoption.
Livestock owners nowadays are willing to buy high-quality feed grades. The product mostly helps provide a nutrition-rich balanced diet to livestock. In addition, these high-quality feeds ensure animal wellbeing and help curb potential...

Introduction The optimal concentration of nutrients required by growing pigs generally decreases over the growing-finishing period with a phase feeding program used as an attempt to meet the needs of the pigs over the changing requirements. Thus, in commercial production, phase feeding is thought to improve economics and reduce nitrogen excretion by more closely meeting the pig’s nutrient requirements compared to feeding fewer phases. However, in practice, it is...

The feeding program for poultry has a major influence on profitability as feed cost accounts for up to 75% of production cost. Conventionally, it is assumed that requirements are either listed in tables or breeder nutrition guides. The Requirement Approach stems from the broken line, which is a simplification of bird response and implies that at different levels of energy or nutrients, efficiency does not change or it is zero. Bird response is curvilinear and this implies that diminishing...
