INTRODUCTION Like other animal production systems, aquaculture has developed into a highly globalized trade-dependent industry, therefore as global fish farming continues to increase, the need for formulating nutritionally balanced and cost-effective diets with high-quality protein source is important (Furuya et al., 2010). In fact, nutritional value of protein in the diet for fish is influenced by its amino acids(AA) compositions, therefore, the quality...

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...

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...

How best can Saponin, Trypsin, Phobol ester, Phytate, Phenol, Lectin and Tannin be eliminated to the nearest minimum tolerance level in our seeds. A lot of resources are wasting away in Africa especially seeds, leaves and roots that can be used as an alternative feed ingredients in poultry feed are not put into use because of anti nutritional factors especially those listed above that constitute major problems. We Animal nutritionists are working tirelessly both private and government...

INTRODUCTION
Nutrition plays a major role in the performance of layer birds. Feed management is the most important practice to get egg production at a right time, maximum peak production, long standing peak production, standard egg size, good cull bird weight and reduced feed cost per egg. Body weight should be taken every week from 1 st week to 18 th week of age, the birds with less body weight...

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....

Introduction. Organic selenium (OSe) has an advantage in reducing oxidative stress in comparison to inorganic forms and incorporates into skeletal muscles, kidney, liver, and gastrointestinal mucosa proteins as selenomethionine and selenocysteine. It is an essential micronutrient for fish (Martinez-Alvarez et al., 2005). Yeast cell wall has been proven as an immunostimulant and health improver for fish and other animals (Selim & Reda, 2015). Materials...

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...

1. Introduction Antibiotics has many possible benefits such as; improvement of feed utilization, reduction of mortality, improvement of weight gain, body weight evenness and feed conversion rate (Bolu et al., 2011). Currently, the use of antibiotics has come under critical reviews since antibiotic resistant bacteria strains can be transferred from the animals to humans consuming the products (Bent & Jesen, 2001). Development of alternatives to Antibiotic Growth Promoters...

Minerals play an important role in regular dietary requirements of animal feed and are essential for growth, reproduction and milk production. Essential minerals are destroyed during the digestion process due to interactions with other components of feed. Use of Organic Trace Minerals in the feed is the optimal way to ensure protection and absorption of minerals through the intestinal walls into the blood stream and reaching various organs to perform...

4 CRITICAL PARAMETERS TO BE CONSIDERED WHEN YOU CHOOSE A FEED ADDITIVE Feed Additives are essential ingredients of the feed to; * Meet the animals’ nutritional requirements (vitamins, minerals, amino acids etc.) * Increase the efficiency of the feed raw materials (enzymes (Phytase, NSP’ase, protease etc.) * Increase the bioavailability of the nutrients by balancing the intestinal environment (pre-probiotics, phytobiotics etc) * Increasing the animal performance by fighting...

Introduction The implementation and monitoring of quality control, quality assurance systems, and their standard operating procedures in feed mill operations are integral in assessing the overall success and profitability of livestock operations. The proper sampling of finished feed and its subsequent analysis is a common standard operating procedure that is used for most swine nutrition studies to ensure that adequate diet manufacturing and delivery have been met; therefore,...

Introduction Lysine (Lys) is the second limiting amino acid (AA) in practical corn-soybean meal diets. Growth performance and proper muscle development of broiler chickens is highly dependent of an adequate dietary supply of Lys. Although all AA coded in the nucleic acid sequence are required for muscle protein synthesis, also depending on its frequency and dietary supply, Lys is the main essential AA required for muscle building for broilers [1]. Lysine has also gained...

1. Introduction Mycotoxins are fungal secondary metabolites with adverse effects on human and animal health. To date, more than 400 different molecules, produced by several types of fungi, have been characterized [1]. Because of their high toxicity, aflatoxins B 1 , B 2 , G 1 , and G 2 (AFB 1 , AFB 2 , AFG 1 , and AFG 2 ) are the most important, and are produced by the species of Aspergillus section...

Introduction Fish was used as a bioindicators for the detection pollution of the aquatic environment [1]. Fish occupies the top of food chain and is the main source of protein without fats to keep people fit. Heavy metals transfer by water through fish causing diseases for consumers [2]. Nile tilapia is the most important and promising aquaculture fish species in Egypt, representing more than 80% of total tilapias production [3]. Egypt ranked the second in cultured tilapia's...
