Interactions among nutrients such as vitamins and minerals are of great importance in poultry nutrition and can negatively affect the performance of birds if not considered (Mir et al. 2021). Providing protection to the cells against the oxidative damage by free radicals and lipo-peroxides, selenium (Se) is an integral part of Se-dependent antioxidant enzymes, and thus involved in the antioxidant defense system of the body (Finkel and Holbrook 1991). Traditionally, in poultry diets, Se...

1. Introduction Several agricultural and agro-industrial by-products are produced during the production or processing of fruits and vegetable crops, which may cause environmental pollution. These by-products were of great interest during the COVID-19 crisis due to lockdown, close of dry borders and ports and traffic restrictions [1,2]. The use of alternative feedstuffs and locally available feed ingredients would improve a possible solution. Date by-products are the best-known...

I. INTRODUCTION Acid binding capacity (ABC) of an ingredient, through its effect on gastric pH, plays an important role in the digestion and absorption of nutrients in poultry. The ABC is defined as the resistance of a feed ingredient to the pH reduction by gastric acid. Limestone, the major Ca source in poultry diets, has a high ABC (Lawlor et al., 2005), which can increase the digesta pH and, influence the solubility and digestibility of nutrients, including minerals. The average...

Xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS) are fermented in the gut by the microbiota leading to the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA). A previous study showed that XOS (0.5%) and arabinoxylan-rich fraction (AXRF; 1%) supplementation can improve feed efficiency and gut health in broiler chickens (Castro et al., 2023). This study aimed to evaluate microbiome composition and fermentation patterns following XOS/AXRF supplementation. The hypothesis is that XOS/AXRF supplementation would increase...

I. INTRODUCTION Wheat and sorghum are the most common feed grains for chicken-meat production in Australia. In two direct comparisons birds offered maize-based diets were better able to accommodate dietary crude protein (CP) reductions than wheat-based diets (Chrystal et al., 2021; Greenhalgh et al., 2022). One underlying reason for this difference appears to be the higher protein contents of wheat than maize and, similarly, wheat (n = 27) contained higher protein levels (115.5...

1. Introduction Soybeans originated in East Asia and were domesticated from wild soybeans (Glycine soja) between 1700 and 1100 B.C. and are now grown worldwide [1]. However, soybean production and utilization were limited within or near its center of Origin (the Orient) for centuries. The first recorded use of soybeans in the U.S. was in 1765 in Savannah, GA. It is thought that Samuel Bowen, a former seaman of the East India Company, brought soybeans to the U.S. from China via...

1. Introduction Poultry production is an important agricultural subsector in many countries. Poultry are birds which render economic services to humans as a primary supplier of meat, egg and raw materials for different industries (feather, waste products, etc.), source of income and employment to people when compared to other domestic animals [1]. According to USDA (2020), the world chicken meat production in 2020 increased than previous years. In July 2020, the total production of...

1. Introduction The poultry industry is an important, fast-growing sector for producing low-cost and rich nutrients for human consumption. This industry is always at risk of infectious and non-infectious agents that cause adverse losses. Antibiotics, especially growth promoter types, are widely used to increase gut health, reduce subclinical infections, and promote growth and production [1]. However, antibiotic overuse negatively impacts the balance of the normal gut microbiome along...

I. INTRODUCTION The emergence of zoonoses, antimicrobial resistance, and more recently pandemics, has led to a rapid escalation of society demands regarding animal production and consumption. In addition to conventional practices like the genetic selection and vaccination strategies, numerous emerging solutions such as the supplementation of probiotics or short chain fatty acids in animal feed are being pursued to enhance animal health and resilience to disease. The glyceride of...

In Australia, 35 million tonnes of sugarcane are harvested annually which produces approx. 10 million tonnes of a by-product called bagasse. Sugarcane bagasse is an insoluble fibre source and recent studies in broilers indicated that bagasse can be added at 2% in both normal and reduced protein (RP) diets to improve FCR by 2-3 points and weight gain by 30-40 g (Sharma et al., 2021a,b). Thus, sugarcane bagasse may be a novel insoluble fibre source for poultry. Follow-up studies were conducted...

Introduction The global livestock industry is increasingly pivoting toward sustainable and cost-effective nutritional strategies to meet the rising demand for animal protein [1]. In this context, rabbit production (cuniculture) has emerged as a vital sector due to the high fecundity, short generation interval, and efficient feed conversion of rabbits [2, 3]. However, the reproductive efficiency of breeding bucks remains a cornerstone of successful commercial rabbitries [3]. Male...

Abstract The effect of addition of sunflower hulls (SFH) as an insoluble fiber on performance and some physiological parameters of broiler chickens fed diets containing full-fat canola seed (CS) was evaluated from 11 to 42 d of age in a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement of treatments. A total of 240 one-day-old broilers (Ross 308) were randomly devoted to 4 treatments, with 6 replicates each and 10 birds per replicate. Treatments were canola oil source (CS, and...

The feed additives have the major role to improve feed efficiency and more important to make low Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) in aquaculture production. Feed additives may be both nutritive and non-nutritive ingredients and work by either direct or indirect methods on the aquatic animal’s system. The feed additives are supplemented in small amounts (alone or in combination) for a specific purpose to improve the quality of shrimp as a final product. Also, it preserves the physical and...
