Welcome to the page about Feed additives of Engormix; a source of knowledge on Feed additives.
The regulatory framework in the feed industry is changing worldwide, particularly in Europe. In 2003, regulatory changes required that all feed additives must be evaluated by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), and obtain authorization to remain on the market. Under the patronage of the EU Association of Specialty Feed Ingredients and their Mixtures (FEFANA), several consortia were created, and categorized according to specific feed additive...

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 viability of...
There are many mold inhibitor brands in the feed additives market which claim to work better than all others. However, not all of them are as efficient as suppliers might claim. What should you look for when selecting a product ?
A common recommendation in the market is to include a dosage rate of 1 Kg/Mt. However, the various products available may contain different concentrations of the active ingredient, like for example...
Take home message. Feed enzymes are a widely accepted and adopted means to increase feed utilisation and ultimately save on feed costs. Feed enzymes typically improve the environmental impact of animal production. While the use of phytases is most developed and widespread, there is still more to be learned and more to be gained from the application of carbohydrases and...
Introduction
Olive leave extract was effective in minimizing the oxidative stress which was induced with the advance of age, specially for plasma cholesterol, triglyceride, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione s-transferase (GST). This experiment was conducted to study the effect of dietary olive leave powder (OLP) on performance, immunological and biochemical...
Footpad dermatitis is a common problem in poultry. Severe cases of footpad dermatitis have a negative impact on animal welfare as well as on the commercial result of broiler units. The quality of the litter is unquestionably a major impact factor on the development of footpad dermatitis. A combination of wet litter and unspecified chemical factors in the litter are thought to be the major cause of the footpad dermatitis. Beside...
Introduction For several decades, the use of sub-therapeutic levels of antibiotics in animal feeds has been a common practice in many countries in order to improve growth performance and prevent from the adverse effects of pathogenic and non-pathogenic enteric microorganisms. However, there are increasing concerns for the public health about the consequences from the use of antibiotics in livestock [1]. The risk of...
FEFANA has published a new booklet on carotenoids and their use in animal nutrition.
Colours play important biological functions in nature that relies on a variety of natural compounds (e.g. carotenoids, chlorophylls, etc.) for the colouration of living animal and plant matter. In animal nutrition, colours come from the animal diet and are mostly linked with the presence...
ProPhorce™ AC 600 provides a good alternative for the feed industry
The EU GHS classification and labeling for formic acid will be adapted. Perstorp, one of the major players in feed additives, is playing a vital role in providing alternatives to formic acid. ProPhorce™ AC 600 is formic acid that is partly buffered as sodium formate, and can be...

Danisco Animal Nutrition, a subsidiary of DuPont Industrial Biosciences, will celebrate 25+ years of enzyme innovation at Eurotier with a VIP seminar co-hosted with All About Feed. The seminar, entitled, "How can the developed and developing world benefit from future enzyme technologies?" will be moderated by Emmy Koeleman, Editor of AllAboutFeed and will include the following topics:
What future...
INTRODUCTION A number of feed additives including antibiotics have been widely employed in the poultry industry for several decades. A manipulation of gut function and microbial habitat of domestic animal with feed additives has been recognized as an important tool for improving growth performance and feed efficiency (Collington et al., 1990). Volatile oil from thyme (Thymus vulgaris) thymol and carvacrol, a major...
Betaine (tri-methyl glycine) is a methyl donor which supplies the methyl groups for methionine production. It therefore may be able to support higher levels of growth in diets based on vegetable protein sources, which tend to be deficient in glycine and serine. There is evidence that betaine can improve nutrient digestibility by supporting intestinal function and growth (Eklund et al., 2005) Betaine is an osmoprotectant and commonly used to overcome...
INTRODUCTION There is no universal definition for livestock feed additives, but as their name suggests, in general, they are substances of a low-inclusive nature that are added to stockfeed for a specific purpose. The European Commission describes feed additives as “products used in animal nutrition for purposes of improving the quality of the feed … or to improve the animal’s performance and...
i have been recently visiting extensive dairy cows' farms where there were no precise control of animal feeding. Major part of the ration was based on grazing pasturelands, with some addition of silage (either corn or grass) and/or 2-4 kg of concentrates.
These production systems are different to the most widespread ones (intensive ones with precise animal feeding).
Do you have experience regarding tips/strategies to provide with feed additives to cows reared under extensive/semiextensive...
Introduction The feed enzyme market today is worth approximately $1 billion USD and is dominated by NSP’ases and phytases, with proteases also playing a minor but significant role. The principal reason for their employment is that they improve digestibility of a number of nutrients, specific to the enzyme employed, and as a result enable the use of less digestible, cheaper and most frequently more...
International Journal of Poultry Science 12 (1): 51-54, 2013 ISSN 1682-8356 © Asian Network for Scientific Information, 2013 Abstract A study was conducted during the months of December-January involving sixty one week old broiler chickens, distributed into two experimental groups having three replicates of ten birds each. The birds of the first group were fed a basal diet (22.5% CP & 2830 K...
