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...

Introduction The hypothalamic-pituitary-gonad axis plays an important role in regulating reproductive activities through hormonal control. Since the synthesis and secretion of androgens is the result of the activity of this axis. It is effective in creating differentiation and secondary sexual traits. Due to the high sensitivity of the reproductive process, it is important to know the factors that affect the activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonad axis, and since...

INTRODUCTION The nonstarch polysaccharide (NSP) portion of corn and soybean meal (SBM) – the 2 primary ingredients in North American poultry feeds – is complex and varies considerably across both ingredients. Exogenous NSP enzymes are supplemented to improve the digestibility of this fiber fraction for which no enzymes are secreted endogenously (Bedford, 1995; Cowieson, 2010; Kiarie et al., 2013). In this regard, diets composed mainly of...

The growth graph of the global animal feed enzymes market is expected to display an upward trend in the coming years, due to the increasing preference of the people for nutritious diet along with a considerable rise in the disposable incomes, especially among the developing nations. In a report by the Government of Australia, the global consumption of meat increased to reach 360 million tons in the country by 2018.
With an evident increase in the consumption of animal by-products,...

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...

The potato protein market is estimated to procure steady growth supported by robust demand for high nutritional, plant-based protein supplements. Consumers are steadily gravitating towards highly nutritious diet and are well-informed about the minimum levels of daily protein requirements. Rising environmental concerns have led people to adopt a vegan diet, which is fueling the demand for plant-based ingredients. As such, potato protein concentrate is likely to dominate the industry in the...

INTRODUCTION Seaweeds are the raw material for many industrial products like agar, alginates and carrageenan; also, they continue to be widely consumed as food and medicine in Asian countries.[1,2,3] Most edible seaweeds are known to contain significant quantities of protein, lipids, minerals, vitamins[4,5,6,7] , and nutrient contents.[8,9] Seaweeds are also considered as a source of bioactive compounds and antioxidants as they...

I. INTRODUCTION Over the last few decades, laying hen performance potential has largely been improved by genetic selection: egg production increased from 11.8 to 21.0 kg eggs per hen housed, FCR reduced from 3.29 to 1.96, mortality from 19.1 to 5.6% and body weight from 2.42 to 2.20 kg between 1970 and 2000 (Jeroch, 2011). Production cycles of 100 weeks without moulting will become commercially feasible based on improved laying persistence, although egg shell quality is still a...

Feed mixing and delivery is one of the most important activities on the dairy. Mixing and feeding a total mixed ration (TMR) is a multiple-times-per-day activity. Doing this job accurately and consistently time and time again, batch after batch and day after day is critical to production (volume and components), animal health and overall farm economics.
Accuracy and consistency of mixing and feed delivery may be one of the greatest effectors of production and feed efficiency on the...

INTRODUCTION Free radicals are responsible for aging and causative agents of various human diseases. Antioxidant compounds play an important role in various fields such as medical field (to treat cancers, cardiovascular disorders, and chronic inflammations), cosmetics (anti-aging process) and food industries (food preservative) [1]. Seaweeds contain reactive antioxidant molecules, such as ascorbate and glutathione (GSH) when fresh, as well as secondary metabolites including...

1. Introduction Maize is the most common energy source used in commercial monogastric diets, especially in the American, Southern Europe and most Asian countries where maize grain is the primary cereal for poultry feeds (Dei, 2017). However, the nutritional value of maize for livestock feeding can vary (Cowieson, 2005). Genotype, agronomic conditions and pre- and post-harvest processing can affect the chemical characteristics of cereal grains (Gehring et al., 2013). Indeed...

Fermentation products with main and side activities Feed enzymes are mostly produced by fungi or bacteria. Those living organisms produce a wide variety of different enzyme proteins. For commercial practice, only a limited number of those activities is assayed in the laboratory. Assaying e.g. the xylanase activity obviously results in a quantification of the xylanase level, while not providing information about other activities that remain present in the fermentation product. In...

From Dr Ildar Nisamedtinov’s presentation at Lallemand’s International Selenium Yeast seminar (Grenaa, Denmark, 2007) Alkosel®R397 is made from a natural yeast strain, Saccharomyces cerevisiae NCYC R397, selected for its ability to incorporate large amounts of selenium into amino acids (selenomethionine in particular, selenocsyteine). To insure optimal selenium incorporation, S.c. R397 is grown in the presence of measured amounts of inorganic selenium, during a tightly controlled...

1. INTRODUCTION Several studies have linked declining reproduction especially male fertility to toxicants found in the environment, particularly endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), such as phthalates (Wong and Cheng, 2011; Nordkap et al., 2012). One of the phthalates, Di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) has attracted special attention due to high production volume in millions of tons annually (Swan and Elkin, 1999; Guerra et al., 2010). As a result, human and...

Yellow grease is the result of recycling used oil from fast food restaurants and then waste animal fat from slaughterhouses for poultry, swine and cattle is added. Theoretically, yellow grease is filtered and stabilized with antioxidant, then stored for export. Some exporters have the nutritional profile. In fact, yellow grease may be contaminated with toxic waste such as water contaminated with bacteria, residual oil used in motor vehicles (as...

1. Introduction Biochar (BC) is obtained via the pyrolysis of organic material. In the process, biomass is treated by heat in very low oxygen (or other oxidizers) content, where complex chemical compounds are transformed into simpler ones, eventually yielding gaseous products such as water vapor, carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen (H 2 ), methane (CH 4 ), ethane (C 2 H 6 ), and also solid carbon residue often named...

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 )...
