The animal feed additives market size, worth USD 16.11 billion in 2014, is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.7 % over the period of 2015-2022. Rise in meat consumption of livestock such as poultry, cattle, and swine as a protein source is expected to boost the global industry trends over the coming years.
Animal feed additives such as minerals, vitamins, fatty acids, and amino acids enhance metabolism and weight gains of the livestock. Livestock production estimated at 305 million...

Hello, my name is Dragan Ionut from Elcomex Agroindustrial SA Romania. Because of the recent methionine crisis and because our capacity production was increased, we are not able to find dl methionine or OH methionine. I find on the internet this source of methionine - herbal natural from Arosol. Do you know anything about this source because I did not find any study about this. Thank you ing Dragan Ionut ...
Dr. Yanhong Liu (UC Davis) explained the benefits of feeding plant extracts and their effect on pig's health, focusing on the antioxidant response, during CLANA 2016 in Cancun, Mexico....
Vietstock 2016 was a successful event for Life Rainbow Biotech to interact with the other Asian countries. The booth was constantly busy with our business partners and some potential ones. We had great discussion with local farmers (via translators, of course), nutritional specialists, and distributors from nearby countries. It is fruitful for us to learn how our products can help livestock to reach a better performance with less use of...
This study aimed to investigate the effect of dietary supplementation with Silvafeed® ATX, vitamin E and selenium on carcass traits and blood serum metabolites of NZW rabbits under summer stress conditions. In rabbits stress associated with exposure to high ambient temperatures results in a reduced welfare of the live animal and thus a decreased performance, especially in terms meat quality. Dietary antioxidants protect rabbit’s tissues against oxidative damage, restoring...
Introduction Increased growth rate and low feed conversion ratio through genetic selection in broiler chicken has been attributed to increased body fat deposition, high mortality and high incidence of metabolic diseases and skeletal disorders (Zubair & Leeson, 1996). Excessive fat (abdominal and subcutaneous) in carcasses of broiler chickens is a waste product in...
INTRODUCTION The biogenic amines are biologically active compounds synthesized from amino acids. Feed-borne biogenic amines are most commonly synthesized by spoilage microorganisms and are usually considered to be potential toxins (Eggum et al. 1989). By-products that have undergone some degree of spoilage are generally considered to be the richest sources of biogenic amines. These would include meat and bone meal, blood...
Dr. J. O. Isikwenu from Delta State University, presents his paper on the effect of Xylopia aethiopica dried fruits (grains of selim) as an additive on the performance and microbial population in starter broiler chicks....
DDGS can be used in poultry and swine feeds, provided that its quality meets nutritionist's expectations. As an industrial by-product from the ethanol industry, its composition may vary not only among suppliers but also in the course of time, depending on the cereals coming in and technological management of the plant. Therefore, we strongly recommend controlling DDGS quality as frequently as possible. NIR (Near Infrared Reflectance) offers the possibility to...
Introduction Poultry production in the past century has transitioned from predominantly breeding layers to breeding a mixture of both layers and broilers, based on the evolution of consumer demand (1–3). Success in the optimization of different broiler lines is due to genetics as well as optimizing diets with more precise nutritional formulations (4, 5). Comparison of individual genetic lines has revealed differing...
Ingredients used in animal feeds and their contamination with undesirable substances, such as mycotoxins, are fundamentally important both in terms of the quality of animal products and the potential human health impacts associated with the animal-based food production chain. Feed ingredients contaminated with mycotoxins may have a wide range of toxicological effects on animals. Therefore, mycotoxin contamination of feed ingredients constituting complete feed...
Soybean meal, or SBM, exports from the US are expected to grow by 8 million mt/year over 2016-2024, driven by strong demand from the feed industry in Asia, according to participants at the Southeast Asia-US Agricultural Cooperators conference being held at Cebu, the Philippines, over July 31-August 3.
“[About] 60% of the demand for US soybean meal is from Asia, and the growth is exponential, with projected 80 million mt increase for the next 10 years to meet the huge...

We feed our pet animals more like humans than the animals they descend from. While the ancestors of our cats and dogs were mainly eating prey animals, nowadays a label of pet food looks more like a human dinner. How did that happen? Firstly, most cats and dogs are raised in a limited living space, either completely indoors, or partly outside. Especially in densely populated areas they are kept with restricted freedom to move around the neighbourhood and...
EFSA’s Scientific Opinion 1 on Ethoxyquin as a Feed Additive was published in November 2015, when the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) could not conclude on the safety of the feed additive for target animals, for the consumers and for the environment due to a lack of data.
Among the items discussed, the EFSA could not conclude whether ethoxyquin quinone imine (an ethoxyquin metabolite) would potentially pose a...
