As demand for goose products increases, poultry scientists and producers are working to combat bird mortality. One goal is to help geese fight infections without overusing antibiotics.
In a new study, published The Journal of Applied Poultry Research, poultry scientists explore the use of dietary yeast culture (YC) supplementation as a strategy to boost goose health while also improving meat quality.
Yeast culture is a dried prebiotic...
Introduction Silver has long been known to exhibit a strong toxic activity towards a wide range of microorganisms, for this reason silver based compounds have been extensively used in many bactericidal applications. Nano particles due to their large surface area are highly reactive and Ag Nano particles have been tested in various fields of biological sciences, Viz drug delivery, wound treatment, binding with HIV gp120 protein , in water treatment and as antibacterial compound...
Due to the projections of accelerated growth of world population, it is essential to increase the production of proteins from animal and plant origin. Insects have been used as an alternative protein source for humans (entomophagy) and other animals because of their greater efficiency in food conversion and less environmental impact (Van Huis et al. 2013, Van Huis 2013, Van Huis 2020). Edible insect larvae contain an average of 54% protein, including essential amino acids and vitamin...
The increasing price of corn and soybean meal raises questions about using alternative raw material in a way that would not affect animal performance.

Novus is launching Tech Talks, a video series to address our customers' pain points and industry challenges. The prices of corn and soybean meal continue to rise due to supply shortages. In our first Tech Talk, hear what Sr. Product Specialist Annafe Perino and Sr. Technical Services Specialist Ermin Magtagnob have to share on the issue of high raw material price and how protease enzymes can help....
The North America specialty animal feed additives market is projected to accrue sizable revenue growth on account of rapid expansion activities in the eggs and meat industry. Animal feed additives are preparations or substances that are added for enhancing feed quality and boosting animal nutrition.
Major regulatory organizations like the U.S. FDA are classifying animal feed additives under the Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) category. This makes them safe for human and animal...
Summary: - A growing population that we have to feed by 2050, approximately 9,000 million inhabitants. - Climate change, global warming, atmospheric phenomena (Hurricanes, floods, prolonged drought that drastically affects grain crops). - Overfishing in our seas that are decimating and extinguishing some marine species. ...
The American Feed Industry Association (AFIA) has opened registration for its 50th Liquid Feed Symposium, being held Sept. 7-9, in Chicago, Ill. Attendees will network and learn about the history of legislation and regulations that affect liquid feed, the value of...
1. Introduction Starch and its derivatives are used as ingredients and it is the main component in bakery products. It is also added in low quantities as additives to improve the sensory characteristics of a large number of manufactured foods. The products resulting from the hydrolysis of starches (glucose syrup or maltose, maltodextrins) and isomerization (iso-glucose or fructose) are used in the industries of candy, sweets, chocolates, cakes, pastries, as well as in the...

The adoption of inactive dry yeast in animal feed applications across Europe will reach significant traction in the coming years. The increasing meat consumption in the region has paved the way for increased efforts towards animal health and well-being. There are also several restrictions imposed on the use of antimicrobial growth promoters across numerous countries.
Inactive dry yeast is extensively utilized solely or in combination with beneficial bacteria to produce probiotic...
Key points Due to sub-optimal selenium levels in most soils, nutritionists and scientists advocate selenium supplementation in ruminant diet. Organic selenium (selenium yeast) is more bioavailable than its mineral counterpart (selenite, selenate) for dietary supplementation, hence more effective to improve selenium status. Selenium yeast supplementation of ruminant diet has been shown to improve animal antioxidant status, reproduction, selenium...
1. F atty acids formulation: changes in nutritionists approach, questions to be answered
The aspects abovementioned are quite well-known by nutritionist, and do not constitute major concerns for them. On the contrary, nowadays lipids are not only perceived as providers of energy but also functional components of the diets with physiological and economic implications.
Due to this, nutritionists have started to consider...
The increasing household incomes of consumers across the world and their willingness to spend on food products has led to a growing intake of meat. This has given rise to consistent efforts by the livestock owners to effectively look after the health and hygiene of the animals along with the provision of functional and supplementary components in their feed. One such element that is marking its presence in animal feed is yeast as it shows immense potential in enhancing animal growth...

DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM Creatine is a necessary component in energy metabolism, supplying phosphate groups to adenosine diphosphate and recycling them to adenosine triphosphate (ATP) that can be used for maintenance and growth. This creatine-ATP recycling system does not occur in all cells, only in those where there is great variability in energy demand, including muscle cells [1]. Creatine is especially important in growing animals such as broiler chickens, as it is not only...
