In commercial aquaculture, the cost of feed is the main problem as it constitutes up to 60% of the total cost of production1. Hence, many researchers examined the use of substitute protein and lipid sources, especially the vegetable sources to replace fish meal and fish oil (FO) that are the cheaper, leading to reduce the feed cost2,3. Lipid is considered one of the most important components in tilapia diets that provide energy and essential fatty acids. Fish also need lipids for...

Introduction Searching for novel economic animal food sources to overcome the Egyptian gap in animal nutrition, many attempts were carried out to evaluate new agro-industrial by-products (Abdelhamid, 1988) such as rice straw and maize stover (El-Shinnawy et al., 1986 and Abdelhamid et al., 1989a, b, 1991 &1994), poor quality barley straw (Gabr et al., 1989), pea by-products (Abdelhamid and El-Ayoty, 1988), dried sugar beet pulp (Abdelhamid, 1992), whole sunflower seeds...

Introduction Quality forage resources as grasslands, fruit juice industry with a cultivated forage crops pulp residue are of great importance for Turkey. The share of total arable area of livestock feed crops sowing areas of advanced countries is 10%, but, it is, unfortunately, just 3.5% in Turkey. Rich pulp in terms of a significant amount of the water released as waste material in Turkey cannot be assessed at the desired level for ruminant animals. Thus, for making it harmless...

Introduction The use of antibiotics and other antimicrobials has been practiced for many years to enhance growth performance, disease prevention and efficient use of feeds in the livestock feed industry (Barton, 2000; Gaskins et al. 2002). It is a growing concern about the potential of antibiotics in livestock feeds due to the increasing number of antibiotic-resistant pathogens in human and animals (Williams and Heymann,1998). Therefore, it is necessitated to find...

Introduction South Sinai is semi-arid area with salt affected natural resources (plants, water, soil, etc). Therefore, feed resources in this region characterize one of the main difficulties for animal production development. Farmers in Egypt are concerned with ways to prevent salinification and economically produce fodder crops to overcome the problems of feed shortage that lead to high feeding costs (Fahmy et al., 2010). On the other side, big differences were found between...

Nutriad has demonstrated the use of Quorum Sensing (QS) as a tool in the development of two new feed additives: one for broiler production and one for aquaculture. QS Is a form of bacterial communication that is critical to bacterial virulence. By investigating the ability of several highly bioactive compounds to inhibit QS, Nutriad was able to select a combination of components that, in in vivo models, had a positive effect on the...

Nutrition of shrimp is an important consideration in health management of cultured vannamei shrimp. The extensive to semi-intensive and intensive farming of shrimp demands nutritionally complete feeds for successful culture. The use of nutritionally inadequate feeds for shrimps can result in reduced growth, less production, more stress, low survivals, nutritional deficiency syndromes, mortality, infectious diseases etc. The uses of a wide variety of natural compounds are capable to...

Introduction For economical reasons soybean meal (SBM) is commonly used as a protein source in animal feeds [1] but the increasing demand and price for SBM is stimulating interest in alternative sources of protein. Apart from the predicted nutritional properties of these novel protein sources, nothing is known about their potential effects on gut immunity and health. The effects of dietary protein on performance and health are dependent on the source(s) of protein (e.g. milk;...

Strict embargoes on antibiotic growth promoters, subject to the associated health concerns have indeed led to a spike in Eubiotics Market demand worldwide. Incidentally, since majority of these antibiotic growth promoters were discredited by regulatory authorities as well as consumer associations, researchers have been extensively investing in producing animal feed additives that are free from chemical intermediates. This is rather evident from the increased adoption of NGPs...

Demand for dietary proteins among expanding population, supported by rise in economic standards is driving animal feed protein ingredients market share. Growing awareness pertaining to benefits of animal proteins has led to increasing production of meat & meat products. Animal feed protein is gaining popularity owing to its ability to increase nutritional value of the animal-derived product, hence propelling animal feed protein ingredients market share.
Meeting consumer demand...

Have you heard of Ida-Ore Zeolite used as a natural Anticaking agent? I got approached by a consultant about scours, and apparently it is used as a feed additive and will help the herd that is affected by scours. Has anyone ever heard of this? It seems like snake oil, but he has brought up some local farms and some big names that use it. ...

The addition of yeasts as additive in ruminant diets has favorable effects on microbial population and on the ruminal fermentative indicators. Consequently, health and productivity of animals are improved (Stella et al. 2007 and Doleža et al. 2011). There are multiple products in the world market in which commercial strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast are employed as activators of ruminal fermentation (Chaucheyras et al. 2004). However, there are not plenty studies showing the...

Introduction Energy is the most expensive component in swine diets, and record high feed costs in recent years have caused nutritionists to focus on optimizing caloric efficiency of feed ingredients used in commercial feeds. As a result, nutritionists need comprehensive, accurate, meaningful, and standardized analytical methods to quantify lipid peroxidation in feed ingredients before they will be able to effectively evaluate the impact of dietary lipid peroxidation on growth...

Introduction In many parts of the world, especially the arid and semi-arid regions, with scarce animal feed resources, low quality non-conventional feeds are frequently fed to livestock (Mahgoaub et al., 2008). High salinity of irrigation water and agricultural soil is a major impediment to the cultivation of traditional fodder crops as well as high costs of transporting feed to the Sinai Peninsula. Reducing feed costs and/or increase feed utilization may be an effective key for...

1. Introduction In Egypt, small ruminants are essential resources of cash revenue, savings nutrition (meat and milk), wool, compost and employment of many people particularly in populations with a low income and where poverty prevails. Improving the sustainability of animal production systems in Sinai by increasing the availableness of fodder resources through inducting of salt-tolerant fodder crops is considered one of the means to insure sustainable development of Bedouin...
