INTRODUCTION Gut health is a term increasingly used in the medical literature and by the food industry. It covers multiple positive aspects of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), such as the effective digestion and absorption of food, the absence of gastrointestinal illness, normal and stable intestinal microbiota, effective immune status and a state of wellbeing (Bischoff, 2011). The GIT of a pig is a complex environment. Particularly in newborns and around the time of weaning,...

Background Indigestible markers are commonly used in animal nutrition studies to calculate digestibility coefficients, with chromic oxide, titanium dioxide, and acid insoluble ash being the most common in swine research [1]. Physiological aspects associated with gastric emptying or rate of passage are complex and affected by a variety of factors [2, 3]. Rate of passage can be affected by BW [4], feed intake level [5], dietary fiber type and level [6–8], particle size [9],...

Introduction Stevia (Stevia rebaudiana, Bertoni) is a perennial shrub that is indigenous to Paraguay and Brazil. The leaf, and its extracts have been used as a natural sweetener. Often referred to as the sweet herb of Paraguay (Geuns, 2004), stevia is today grown commercially for sweeteners extraction. The sweetening property is associated with their contents of several glycosides, stevioside, steviobioside, rebaudiosides A to F, dulcoside A and steviol (Gardana et...

Introduction The serum proteins are no fixed rates in the normal case, but the birds subjected to a change in the environmental and health conditions lead to a change in the proportions of these proteins (Jain, 1989). This is because of the health stress factors (Tohijo et al., 1995), or heat or nutrition that will affect the liver cells and lymph effective to manufacture these proteins and then the study and determine the ratios of these important proteins in determining the...

Introduction Sunflower (Helianthus annuus, Asteraceae) is one of the most widely cultivated oil crops in the world (Flagella et al., 2002). The world-wild production of sunflower seed reached 37.08 million tonnes and subsequently produced 15.22 million tonne of oil (FAO, 2012). Together with soybeans, cottonseeds and canola (rapeseed), sunflower seeds are one of the major oilseeds produced in the world (Salunkhe et al., 1992). Oilseed by-products play an important role in...

A new study about the nutritive characteristics of canola meal from Canadian processing facilities has been published recently in the Animal Feed Science and Technology magazine (Adewole et al, 2016). The authors evaluated samples of canola meal collected from eleven canola processing facilities in Canada over 4 successive years (2011–2014). Overall, the contents of various components of canola meal in percentage of dry matter (DM) basis were:
crude protein: 41.7% DM...

Where did this shift in focus from production to consumer issues begin for the feed industry? Perhaps it started as early as 1969 when the Swann Report hinted at a connection between antibiotic resistance and their use in food animal diets (Table 1). Perhaps it was an ill-informed junior minister in Britain commenting on salmonella in eggs. Perhaps it was the media catching Mad Cow Disease. Whatever the reason, the consumer is now wide awake and...

Introduction Plant carbohydrates can be classified into three categories: 1) simple sugars and their conjugates (glucose, fructose, etc.); 2) storage reserve compounds (starch); and 3) structural carbohydrates (cellulose, hemicellulose, etc.). Simple sugars and storage compounds are primarily digested in the upper gastrointestinal tract of pigs, although not completely, while structural carbohydrates are only partially degraded by the microflora in the cecum and large intestine...

Introduction Sodium nitrite (SN) has been widely used in Europe as a component of silage additives that strongly inhibits clostridia. As SN is rapidly converted to nitric oxides and ammonia during the early fermentation phase, this compound is applied in combination with other chemicals, which prevent clostridia development during later stages of the fermentation process. Those substances can be hexamethylene tetramine (HMT), sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate (Bader,...

Introduction Corn distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) is a rich source of protein and amino acids (AA) for pig feed (Stein and Shurson, 2009b). However, the high variation in DDGS AA composition and relatively low AA digestibility may play a role in its limited use in swine diets (Fastinger and Mahan, 2006; Liu, 2011). The ratio of wet distillers grains (WDG) and condensed distillers solubles (CDS) was considered to be one of most important...
